Adeodatus Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 For sex to exist, you need human bodies. And souls in heaven now don't yet have bodies. The righteous receive glorified bodies at the General resurrection on the Last Day. Jesus tells us we will be "like the angels in heaven" when we ourselves are in heaven. He says this specifically saying that the 'sons of the Resurrection', i.e. all human beings glorified in body and soul in heaven at the end of time, do not marry. The purposes of sex include the good of marriage (the marriage bond) and the good of children. Neither of these purposes exist in heaven. So sex also does not exist in heaven. And in case you're wondering: yes, heaven is better than sex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLAZEr Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 [quote name='Delivery Boy' date='Nov 8 2004, 04:07 PM'] ???????????? [/quote] Heaven will be better than sex. In fact, Pope John Paul II argues in Love and Responsibility and a little in the speeches called "The Theology of the Body" that orgasm is a physical foretaste of the ecstacy of perfect union with God.
