After all, heaven is supposed to be a perfect place, and I can't imagine a perfect place not having sex.

I don't think so. Listen:
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.

aimanrosl... points out an interesting difference between Christianity and Islam. Reading his post you see Islam is about power to the male and unlimited sex. They promise their terrorists 70 or 77 virgins. Guess they can up that yet till they get to 100.

Neither do I think there will be eternal playing of harps. There's a lot of interesting stuff coming out of quantum physics. M theory is a possible explanation that ties up all the loose ends that other theories have left unraveled. With 11 dimensions our brightest minds are barely conceiving how they might relate to each other. Now what might all exist beyond our basic 4 dimensions? For one thing the capability for instant connecting to any point at any time - in theory at least. All very Star Trek'ish and/or Biblical.

I believe that science and religion are the heads and tails of the same coin. That science keeps proving religion right. That some will see Jesus while others see Captain Kirk.

So back to the original q the scripture in Matthew seems to say no sex. In the heavenly form sex may very be a foreign concept. But then again Jesus is the only begotten Son of God right? Does that infer that there is a procreation process? The only thing we can be reasonably sure of is that this world is far inferior to Heaven.

There is no need for sex in heaven. You can't have children in heaven. You'll be in complete bliss all the time. Plus you're not in a physical body, so it's all got to be different. You probably have different desires and needs. Or no desires at all, seeing as heaven is perfect.

it is not approximately being denied some exhilaration that others could have. the clarification the Christians instruct that there will be no intercourse in heaven has no longer something to do with sin. The Christ tells us that there will be no husbands and different halves in heaven, so because it somewhat is the 1st leaping-off ingredient. the only that such a lot of persons omit, nevertheless, is that as quickly as we pass to heaven, we are able to receive new "bodies". those are the unique bodies that Adam and Eve possessed, spiritually perfected bodies. whilst this occurs, there's no longer any want for intercourse by using fact our bodies will as quickly as returned function as they have been initially meant: finished and finished and lacking no longer something. we won't desire exterior stimuli as we do now by using fact we are able to be finished without it.

No, not in the sense that we know sex here. I believe that you wont miss it that is for sure. I think Of Heaven being so wonderful no bad , no pain all so beautiful that it is so much better than any physical sex can ever be here. When you get there you won't know things that are bad or remember things like this so you can't miss it but, i think you will have the most full filling love that you can ever find.

I am not sure but according to the bible, people would be like angels, neither married or human.

It is a perfect place, no sins, no sadness and no sorrow. You want sex because it is a human fleshy desires, but in heaven, all flesh will be gone. So I don't think you will have the urge for sex.

Mark 12:25 - For when they rise from the dead, neither do men marry nor are women given in marriage, but are as angels in the heavens.

God views sex outside of marriage as wrong and since the above scriptures says those going to heaven would not marry, I think there's no sex in heaven. But since, its a spiritual world, not a physical one, it won't matter.

This just means that your mind is on earthly things. No, I do not believe there will be a need for sex in heaven. I am sure we won't have a sexual desire, we'll be just glad we are there and happy. I think there will be more happiness than sex could possibly offer and it wouldn't be necessary. But, hey! I don't know everything. This is just my opinion.

I think the idea of heaven is so much more than anyone on earth could ever fully grasp but I'd image the things we consider "perfect" in this life are insignificant in heaven. Speculating though, I don't think so. I don't think we have our earthly bodies, so no sex between them

Hi, you can`t imagine Heaven either,and what incredible love exists there, but there will be no marriages in Heaven and no copulation.
Sex is for us human beings just a bodily need/function, and as Heaven is the promise of higher complete selfless love,then we will not be tied down by human desires.
