“No marriage in
heaven”.
Context is not about sex,
but about ownership. There is no marriage/ownership over women in heaven.
Matthew 22:30 "For
in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as
the angels of God in heaven."
Lk 20:35"And
Jesus answering said unto them, 'The children of this world marry, and are
given in marriage. But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry,
nor are given in marriage."
The question and context of this is
marriage/ownership. The context is who will own
the women.
On earth 7 different men owned the women. The question is, who will own her in heaven? Jesus Answer, is no one will
own her in heaven, no marriage in heaven.
Matt 22:30 is saying there is no ownership
of one person owned by another in heaven. Man will not be a master over women
in heaven as they are on earth. On earth men bought daughters from the fathers,
he became her owner/master. Before that her owner/master was her father.
What is marriage that we have on earth?
It is ownership of the women, and a male is master over females
resulting from the curse/punishment God put on women in Gen 3:16 because she
was the first to sin and lead Adam into sin.
Gen 3:16 Adam became owner/master over the
women. After that Adam called his owned women, his wife, Eve.
As before the curse/punishment, before
the fall, and in heaven, the woman is a co-equal with men and before God.
Before the fall, Adam and Eve were equal
. Gen 3:16 changed that, they were no equal man became women's master. After Gen 3:16 Marriage is related to master/ownership rights. Angels
are not married. One angel does not ownership/master of another angel.

Mt 18:18
I tell you this: Whatever you
prohibit on earth is prohibited in heaven, and whatever you allow on earth is
allowed in heaven. 19 "I also tell you this: If two of you
agree down here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will
do it for you. 20 For where two or three gather together because they are mine,
I am there among them."
Mt 16:19
And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom
of Heaven. Whatever you lock on earth will be locked in heaven, and whatever
you open on earth will be opened in heaven."
The Curse or punishment for doing wrong. Gen 3 This is still active today.
Gen 3:14 So the
LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, you will be
punished. You are singled out from all the domestic and wild animals of the
whole earth to be cursed. You will grovel in the dust as long as you live,
crawling along on your belly. 15 From now on, you and the woman will be
enemies, and your offspring and her offspring will be enemies. He will crush
your head, and you will strike his heel."
16 Then he said to the woman, "You will bear children with intense
pain and suffering. And though your desire will be for your husband, he will be your master."
17 And to Adam he said, "Because you
listened to your wife and ate the fruit I told you not to eat, I have placed a
curse on the ground. All your life you will struggle to scratch a living from
it. 18 It will grow thorns and thistles for you, though you will eat of its
grains. 19 All your life you will sweat to produce food, until your dying day.
Then you will return to the ground from which you came. For you were made from
dust, and to the dust you will return."
20 Then Adam named his (master
over/ownership) wife Eve, because she would be the mother of
all people everywhere.
21 And the LORD God made clothing from
animal skins for Adam and his wife. (This is because of Rom
14:14 nudity is not a sin and man does not have to wear cloth, only a man made
shame thing, because, man
determines that they are ashamed of God designed nudity design from believing
lies from Satan, God was and still is pro-nudist)
(Titus 1:15 Everything
is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But
nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds
and consciences are defiled.)
(Romans 14:14 I know and am perfectly sure on
the authority of the Lord Jesus that no food, in and of itself, is wrong to
eat. But if someone believes it is wrong, then for that person it is wrong.)
Tree of Life
Ge 3:22 Then the LORD God said, "The
people have become as we are, knowing everything, both good and evil. (but with corrupt thinking believing lie from Satan) What if
they eat the fruit of the tree of life? Then they will live forever!" 23 So the LORD God banished
Adam and his wife from the Garden of Eden, and he sent Adam out to cultivate
the ground from which he had been made. 24 After banishing them from the
garden, the LORD God stationed mighty angelic beings to the east of
The tree of life
was the tree of eternal life. If they eat of the tree of eternal life they
would live for eternity on earth in their sinful state and Man would not be
able to have any redemption back to God .
If they ate the eternal tree
of life before they ate of the tree of knowledge of God and evil, they would
live for eternity on earth in a sinless, no shame, no guilt, 100% nude, lot of
sex with many sex partners, with no marriages, or no ownership of man owning
women. Similar to animals, animals have no marriage and most
all have many sex partners. Angels have no marriage either.
Lot more similar to Bonobos, the close
animal to man kinds DNA, that did not sin and did not get
corrupt thinking as man did. They are sinless, no corrupt thinking, no shame,
no guilt, 100% nude, lot of sex with many sex partners, with no marriages, or
no ownership of man owning women.
They use lots of sexual freedom with many sex partners to solve many stress and many other problem. They have created a very
loving and very peaceful society because of loving sexual freedoms
.

Life
Ge 2:9
And the LORD God planted all sorts of
trees in the garden ? beautiful
trees that produced delicious fruit. At the center of the garden he placed the
tree of life
and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

said, "The people have become as we are, knowing everything, both good and

It
is very important to notice that Christ in his resurrection body was able to eat fish (Luke 24:43)
and have Thomas touch him (John 20:27). This does imply some physicality. Although, it does
seem that his physical body was somewhat different, with him being able to move
from one place to another in space and time without using a door, or walking,
running etc., to get whereever he pleased. So, will
we be able to do these sorts of things in our glorified body? Who knows? This
is probably outside of the bounds of scripture and into speculation.

But Jesus did have flesh
and bones after the resurrection:
“Behold my hands and
my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh
and bones, as ye see me have.” -Luke 24:39
He ate after the
resurrection, so he mush have had a stomach, (or was being deceptive)
“And they gave him a piece of a
broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And he took it, and
did eat before them.” - Luke 24:43 (KJV)
Our resurrection bodies will
then also be flesh and bones with the capacity to eat, because Christ is the firstfruits of the resurrection (1 Cor 15:20),
so that we will be raised as he is now.
If Christ had a physical body (which you
still admitted) at the resurrection, then so shall we. This makes it legitimate to assume we will have our genitallia still, unless you want to argue Christ was
raised in a physical androgynous body? For if Christ had a physical flesh and
bone body with all the things like a stomach to go along with it, then so shall
we.
I’m assuming your
verse on flesh and blood was referring to 1 Cor 15:50?
Paul’s point is not that we get new
bodies but that are current ones are changed. The glory of the ones sown on earth are raised
to the glory of heaven. But it is the same body, as can be indicated by
Paul’s use of the third person pronoun to refer to the same object
throughout.
Note in verse 50:46 when he
lays the groundwork for his argument later, he makes a dichotomy between the
natural and the spiritual, not the fleshly and the spiritual. The greek is not “sarkos” but “psuchikon”.
In verse 50, the backdrop is this distinction, not the distinction with the
physical, so that the point is that flesh and blood by itself cannot inherit
the
Note Paul does not say we
get something new, but that we are changed by adding something to us, by
clothing our physical flesh and bone bodies with immortality.
This is nothing new, the
doctrine that Christ rose in the same human body he had while on
earth, has been the belief of Christians for 2000 years:
…on the third day He
arose from the dead, with the same body in which He suffered, with
which also he ascended into heaven… -Westminster Confession 8:IV (same in the London Baptist Confession)
“We believe that,
according to the Scriptures, He arose from the dead in the same body, though
glorified, in which He had lived and died, and that His resurrection body is the pattern of that body
which ultimately will be given to all believers” –

SEX IN HEAVEN?
From http://users.belgacom.net/gc674645/heaven/sexinhev.htm
THE SEXY
SONS OF GOD
In the Bible is a very
interesting passage, which has been a source of controversy among church
people, as most of them have quite a sex-phobic mindset and attitudes. This
passage in Genesis 6:1 which took place in the pre-diluvian
days of Noah, goes as follows:
"And it came to pass, when men began
to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, that
the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were pretty; and they took
them wives of all which they chose. And the Lord said, My
spirit shall not always struggle with man, for that he is also flesh: yet his
days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in
those days; [Editor: giant human skeletons have been found!] and also after
that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare
children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of
renown."
The "sons of God" are the
angels, just as Jesus is also a Son
of God. But He is called the only begotten meaning the only BORN Son of God,
because He was the only one willing or chosen, who chose to come down into this
life as a flesh and blood human being to forge an escape from sin, by breaking
its curse with the sacrifice of His own death and blood. It says, that
"He was made a little
lower than the angels!"
In spirit, Jesus was far
above any angel, including of course the rebelling or "fallen" angels
like Lucifer. But he was made a little bit lower in the flesh!
Angels have bodies too, that
can look similar to ours. That's why it says in the Bible:
"Be not reluctant to
entertain strangers, because some have entertained ANGELS without realizing
it"
But Jesus' body was lower in
that it was like our flesh and blood bodies that are limited in powers! Angels'
bodies can dematerialise, appear and disappear, fly
and change form and probably do lots of other tricks that we can't even
imagine. (They struck the Sodomite attackers of
Angel bodies are made from superior
Heavenly substances, from Heavenly flesh and bones. As Jesus said after His
resurrection, when He got back his angelic body that He had before He came down
here:
"Touch me and handle
me, for a spirit has no flesh and bones as you see me have!" [A very good
verse for those who don't think there are spirit bodies without flesh and
bones!]
Then He ate some food to
prove that his new glorified body was similar to theirs, and that he was not a
ghost! He could still enjoy the flesh!--His new flesh as well! Only by
eating?--Or drinking too? And how about exercising? And what
about SEX-ercising? Oh-oh!
DO ANGELS MAKE LOVE?
So, in these pre-flood days of Noah, the
sons of God—the Angels—"saw the daughters of men, that they
were pretty!" They sure liked their looks and greatly desired them, and
they took them as wives, and they "went in unto them!" Pretty sexy, if you ask me!--Biblical language for making love.
And these pretty human daughters even bore them sons, which grew up to become
famous people! So in effect, their kids were a kind of half-gods, having angels
as their fathers!

WHAT WILL WE BE LIKE,
AFTER THE RESURRECTION?
Enjoy the following account, when Jesus
was tempted by the skeptic religionists of His time. (Luke 20:27-35)
"Then came to him certain of the
Sadducees (the modernists of His time! They were so sad-you-see?),
which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him, saying, 'Master,
Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die
without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto
his brother.
"There were therefore seven brethren:
and the first took a wife, and died without children.
"And the second took her to wife, and
he died childless. And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also:
and they left no children, and died. Last of all the
woman died also.
"Therefore in the resurrection whose
wife of them is she? For seven had her to wife."
"And Jesus answering said unto them, 'The
children of this world marry, and are given in marriage. But they which shall
be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the
resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage."
Mark 12:25 "For when they shall rise
from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the
angels which are in heaven.
Matthew 22:30 "For in the
resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the
angels of God in heaven."
We will be AS the angels of God which are
in Heaven. He didn't say "will be the angels" as that would exclude
the first generation of angels already there! But we will be just like them,
"as the angels!"
So now you understand why we
are so happy, because we believe that there is SEX IN HEAVEN and that we will
soon become angels in the coming Resurrection, meaning that we will have bodies
just like them, and powers like them! As
"Look, what manner of love the Father
has given to us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world
knows us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we [already in spirit!]
the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that when he shall appear, we shall be like
him; for we shall see him as he is."
That's when Jesus comes back
to resurrect and gather us unto himself and take us Home to New Jerusalem, the
Heavenly city! And contrary to public opinion, a SEXY Heaven!
I can hardly wait! Can you?
Are you ready to go There? Go to Heaven? You will be,
if you only ask Jesus:
Dear Jesus, please come into
my heart and forgive me for all the unloving things I've done, and give me your
gift of eternal life, in Jesus name amen! Thank You!

May your Kingdom come soon. May your will
be done here on earth, just as it is in heaven.

I tell you this: Whatever you
prohibit on earth is prohibited in heaven, and whatever you allow on earth is
allowed in heaven. 19 "I also tell you this: If two of you

13 When Jesus came to the
region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" 14
"Well," they replied, "some say John the Baptist, some say
Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets." 15 Then he
asked them, "Who do you say I am?" 16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the
Messiah, the Son of the living God." 17 Jesus replied, "You are blessed,
Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You
did not learn this from any human being. 18 Now I say to you that
you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of
hell will not conquer it. 19 And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever
you lock on earth will be locked in heaven, and whatever you open on earth will
be opened in heaven." 20 Then he sternly warned them not to
tell anyone that he was the Messiah.

17 When the seventy-two disciples returned, they
joyfully reported to him, "Lord, even the demons obey us when
we use your name!" 18 "Yes," he told them, "I saw Satan
falling from heaven as a flash of lightning! 19 And I have given you authority
over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions
and crush them. Nothing will injure you. 20 But don't rejoice just because evil
spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered as citizens of
heaven." 21 Then Jesus was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit and
said, "O
Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding the truth from those who
think themselves so wise and clever, and for revealing it to the childlike.
Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way. 22 "My Father
has given me authority over everything. No one really knows the Son except the
Father, and no one really knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the
Son chooses to reveal him." 23 Then when they were alone, he turned to the
disciples and said, "How privileged you are to see what you have seen. 24 I
tell you, many prophets and kings have longed to see and hear what you have
seen and heard, but they could not."
