Can a married couple in Heaven still have sex? Or is sex forbidden in Heaven?

Question

I know how you all love to speak for God.

Answer 1

Jesus said that those who have the heavenly calling are as the angels, they do not have a gender, there is no sex in heaven. I on the other hand have a hope of everlasting life on earth where you can still be married, husband and wife, and there will be sex between a husband and wife as God wants the earth filled to it's capacity, that he has set, with righteous people.

Answer 2

Well, let's put this another way.

Speaking as a man, not "for God."

Can a married couple in Heaven still have physical bodies--eyes and ears, arms and legs, genitalia? Or do all of these "return to dust"?

So is there bodiless sex?

Now, think about it. Sexual fulfillment is a moment of ecstasy, maybe the only ecstasy humans experience (at least most of us humans). [ecstasy = ex + stasis = standing outside of] Sexual fulfillment, a moment in which we are "outside ourselves," wholly ourselves but wholly other. As we sometimes shout or gasp or moan, "Outta this world!"

An old-time but forever-young poet, John Keats, defined "heaven's bourne" (in so many words) as momentary ecstasy become timeless or eternal.

So who's to say that sex isn't heaven? Or, for those who believe in life after death, in a spiritual existence beyond the physical, that sexual ecstasy isn't simply a foreshadowing of heaven, a moment's insight into eternal ecstasy, physical evidence of spiritual essence?

C'mon, think about it!

Answer 3

Here is your answer

Matt 22:29 Jesus answered and said to them, You err, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in Heaven.

Answer 4

Sex is forbidden in the Christian sector of Heaven.

Answer 5

I don't remember there being a whole lot (in detail) being described in the Bible about Heaven, certainly not anything about sex there (that is, that I've read and/or remember). Seeing as how God didn't forbid sex here (in marriage, of course), I'm not sure why He'd forbid it there...of course, I could be wrong.

Answer 6

Actually, Jesus spoke about this, so we don't have to imagine what God would say. He said that we won't be married in heaven; we would be like the angels (who don't procreate), so we won't have sex.

Matthew 22:23-30
23 That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.
24 "Teacher," they said, "Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for him.
25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother.
26 The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh.
27 Finally, the woman died.
28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?"
29 Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

Answer 7

Well now we know what the Bible and Jesus say. We also know why Mark Twain said, "Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company."

Answer 8

THe bible states that there is no marriage in Heaven.

Not speaking for God, just letting you know to read his word and you will have the answer for yourself.

Answer 9

I would say a better question is whether you believe marriage can continue in heaven since most cerimonies say till death do you part?

Answer 10

If there was no sex in heaven, it would be called Hell instead and they better have beer too.
