Thought this article was quite thought provoking....

Think the reference to what CS Lewis has previously said hits the nail on the head.

I hadn't thought about whether or not we would still have sexual organs tho.

What do you guys think?

Well, considering you are resurrected fully, so not just either your soul(as most I encountered think) or your body, you would have all the organs.

I don't think there would be a need for having sex. I mean, taking into account the original sin, possible children born in heaven wouldn't be able to be there so, yeah...
Unless it's a sex only out of pleasure, but I don't really see angels as condom sellers. Doesn't really fit the picture, huh? :mrgreen:

Well -- the purpose of sex is for pleasure between husband and wife and to create children between the husband and wife. Isn't there a parable or something in the New Testament -- the woman's husband died leaving her with no children - so one by one each of her husband's brothers marry her in order to have a son and then they all die and are in heaven. Jesus is asked -- in heaven - who is the woman married to? Didn't Jesus tell them that in heaven there are no husbands/ wives -- no marriage as there is here on earth?
I haven't read the article by Lewis yet.
