Christians: What will heaven be like? Will you eat to your heart's content?

Question

What kind of earthly pleasures will you be able to take to heaven?
I've heard some of you say you will be able to eat in heaven and enjoy other activities,

now, I'm seriously wondering, will there be sex in heaven too?

If you believe you can do physically pleasurable activities in heaven, (if you eat, do you deficate?)

why would sex not be included in this?

I'd like some insight into your warped veiws about morality and pleasure seeking activity in earthly life (eating like pigs and being obese, compared to having pleasurable out of wedlock sex)...
applied to what you think heaven is like.

Answer 1

WOW !
I am sorry Chloe. I think you might have a warped view of heaven. The issue of eating is all about motive of the heart. No one will be eating for gluttonous reasons. How do I know this, anyone with selfish motives will not be there. Not to say you have to be perfect at the time you die, impossible no one on Earth will ever be perfect, but we will be changed when we see him face to face.
And no, there will be no sex in heaven. God says in his word, we will be like unto the angels which neither marry or are given in marriage.

Answer 2

We don't get too much of a description of what we will do in Heaven. I believe that God created us as sexual beings, so yes we will still be sexual in Heaven. I could also say that whether we eat or not is irrelevant. I mean really. If you are never hungry or thirsty, what does it matter.

I don't think we can, however, comprehend Heaven in the least. Aside from just knowing it is a nice place, all I can imagine is that pleasures on Earth pale in comparison to the pleasures of Heaven. Why hold on to something when there is something so much better available to you.

As far as eating like a pig or sex out of wedlock. These are both sins according to God. I don't think you will even desire to do these things in Heaven. You want to now because it is instant gratification but as usual with sin...it has consiquences. Eating too much will make you obese and random sex might end up killing you with an STD, besides the empty, hollow, disgusted feeling you experience like a morning hangover. These sins are like a drug...you may be willing at the time to ignore the consiquences to have it right now, but you cannot avoid the consiquences.

Answer 3

God has promised to grant all our desires in accordance to His riches in glory. The Bible additionally teaches which you will't worship God and Mammon (money). If we are taking part in the inventory industry, we are asserting to God 'we can take of our very own desires thank you very lots'. it is as good as asserting 'i do no longer believe your promise to grant all my desires'. The inventory industry is an invention of this international for the administration of economies which exist purely by way of fact human beings commerce with one yet another. What began as bartering has grown into what we've as we talk, purely particular persons can benefit extra money than they like for an entire life from it. It exists to provider the desires of this international and has no place in a persons' relationship with God. i'd say that if a man or woman who trades on the inventory substitute turns right into a Christian, they could no longer purely jack it in without prayerful attention. Jesus stated 'no guy can come to me except the father who sent me sends him'. So if God opens your eyes to your could be a Christian once you artwork on the inventory substitute, God has different classes for you and dealing on the SE will no longer get in the way initially.

Answer 4

Heaven is not even our reward when we die,we just die until the next coming and the believers will be resurrected, it is a new earth that God will make when he destroys this one and all of the wicked people will perish and we will receive a new earth Revelation 21 talks about this. and also John 3:13 says No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven- the Son of Man.

Answer 5

Dearest Chloe,

I don't think we will truly know what Heaven is going to be like until we get there. Earthly desires are desires of the flesh. I don't agree Heaven will fulfill our "earthly" desires.
You are thinking in Man's way by asking silly questions about deficating and of the like.
We will know when we know.....

Answer 6

Considering all the MORBIDLY obese women I have seen in churches rolling around in wheelchairs cause they're too obese for their legs there better be food and lots of it,or else there will be riots. As for sex that shouldn't be a problem since many of them haven't had any of that in years anyway. So they'll just eat and spend the rest of their time on their knees praying,in other words they will be as useless in Heaven as they were here.

Answer 7

Besides the fact we don't go to heaven, t'is sadly true that too many people believe physical pleasures exist out there.
No.
Physical pleasure is for the physical world.
That means HERE on planet earth.

Answer 8

All the good little christians will say that their joy and reward in heaven will be to worship the lord. Their reward for a lifetime of worshipping the lord. Sad, isn't it.

Answer 9

Good question.

If they cannot eat, have fun, and have sex in heaven, why don't they start now by not to eat, not to have fun, and not to have sex. OK. I think that is too much to ask. Religious people can eat and have fun. But do tell us if that is what you want.

Answer 10

Some people believe that we eat if we want to and have sex if we want to. I like that idea.
