My cousin and I are debeting whether there will be two sexes in heaven or not. I personally think there will be the two sexes but our earthly desires will be elliminated. When God created Adam and Eve they were female and male. My cousin on the other hand says that we will be neutral, neither female nor male. I am a Christian, but I don't like having the thought of being neutral, but if God wants it that way, it's only for the beter. What are your opinions on this matter.

At this point, I will take what I can get. I have heard about every debate possible and I think I am for the "surprise me" answer.

This is a misunderstanding of scripture. And I can't think of it right now. Which says something to the effect ... And in that day, there will be neither male, nor female; circumcised, not uncircumcised,; free or slave.
Anyway the point is that we are all equal in the eyes of God and in His recreation of Heaven and Earth we are not only all equal in His eyes, but we all see each other as equal.
This is because the glory of God is so great we will finally realize that compared to Him, there is no distinction between us.
EDIT: OOPS, sorry I meant to really answer the question which is yes, there will be male and female, all races will be represented. It is just that all these things which in this world we wrongly use to claim superiority over one another with will be shown to be entirely false.

I would agree with you. We are male and we are female. There is no neutral. I also feel that the same "sociality" that exists in this life, will continue to exist there in heaven. We will still have families, our families and we will have the same friends and relationships we have here. I also think that the same personality we have here, will will have then. The same characteristics will exist. That is why now is the time to prepare to meet God, as it is "easier" in this mortal body, to overcome quirks and trials.

That is simply matter of opinion. God never states that we will be either female or male. He will give us new bodies and the fact of gender may no longer be present considering we will no longer need to populate the earth. which is one of the main reasons for differences in gender.

It's interesting isn't it? But i think that we will not procreate offspring anymore. So the 'willy' might have to go. I really don't know. I am still wondering about the scars thing. If we are all healed from our ailments, why wouldn't Jesus also be healed-- the definition of a scar being a past wound not really healed. Why would Jesus have scars when we would be healed from all of ours?

We will be like we are here on earth, only disease free -- our bodies will be made new.
There's nothing in Scripture that says we will have our sexual physical characteristics in heaven -- only that there will not be marriage.
So, it's not a debatable issue. No one knows. We can just speculate.
FYI -- God doesn't want us to debate. We are not here to debate for Him, but to be witnesses.

A debate about heaven is much like a debate about Santa's workshop in the North Pole.

heaven is a unified concept of happiness. Two sexes means not unified but seperate happiness.
