So,,,there is sex in heaven?How if there isnt marriage?Im seriuosly seeking your answer on this.Sex without marriage is a sin isnt it?So no marriage equals no sex correct?
This has always bothered me,,lots of couples hoping they can spend eternity together as man and wife,,,
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Combine this with reading Revelation Chapt 21 and 22
You will be doing it and it will be GOOD!
New Heavens and a New Earth
From Isaiah 65
17 “Behold, I will create
new heavens and a new earth.
The former things will not be remembered,
nor will they come to mind.
18 But be glad and rejoice forever
in what I will create,
for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight
and its people a joy.
19 I will rejoice over Jerusalem
and take delight in my people;
the sound of weeping and of crying
will be heard in it no more.
20 “Never again will there be in it
an infant who lives but a few days,
or an old man who does not live out his years;
he who dies at a hundred
will be thought a mere youth;
he who fails to reach[a] a hundred
will be considered accursed.
21 They will build houses and dwell in them;
they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them,
or plant and others eat.
For as the days of a tree,
so will be the days of my people;
my chosen ones will long enjoy
the works of their hands.
23 They will not toil in vain
or bear children doomed to misfortune;
for they will be a people blessed by the LORD,
they and their descendants with them.
24 Before they call I will answer;
while they are still speaking I will hear.
25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together,
and the lion will eat straw like the ox,
but dust will be the serpent’s food.
They will neither harm nor destroy
on all my holy mountain,”
says the LORD.
JESUS SAID, “IN MY FATHER’S HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS.” (Jn.14:2) So actually the Bible does mention mansions. However Islams idea of religion is based on distorted truths highjacked for their own sick human evil desires. A religion built around all the things an evil human can desire. Devil worship plain and simple and they know full well who they worship. Christianity is based on spiritual desires, needs...Islam is based on evil physical desires, scripture (the Bible) is clear about these people.
That begs another question,,so people in heaven will die?
What happens then?another heaven or hell?because if you only live to be 100 your cursed?cursed in heaven?
It’s a lot hotter!!!!
It was a Metaphor – Please, I didn’t say Heaven was Disneyland. I am meaning is the child-like eyes-wide-open, jaw dropping wonderment of it all - and like I said multiplied 100 fold.
“Seeing God face to face. All else is secondary, IMO.”
Ding, Ding, Ding!
We have a winner!
It is Gods finished creation.
The phrase 100 years is symbolic of very long life. God has promised eternal life in Jesus Christ, that is what I expect.
If you read from the Revelations chapters 21-22 it talks of the accursed being placed in the lake of fire and the new heaven and earth.
I found this commentary.

Hope it helps.
I understand metaphors. As I read it, you seemed to be equating the “wonderment” of an adult to Disneyland. I had initially thought of—and dismissed—the reference to a child.
The reason for this orientation is that I have often seen writings of adults about how enchanted they were by the phony-baloney that is Disneyland and Disney World. It always left me with a great feeling of distaste. Reserve your astonishment for the real things of wonderment in this world. The Grand Canyon comes to mind.
All this to say I am sorry that I attacked you on this issue. I should have gone with my first impression, i.e., you were talking about a child.
Anyone ever see the movie,,,what dreams may come? a beautiful view of heaveen imho
Our church had a recent visit by one of our Missionaries to the country of Chad. The way he confronts Muslims and often begins their conversion, is he tells them he will give them 10 minutes to tell him all the wonderful things about Mohammad, if they would allow him to do the same about the wonderful things about Jesus. This ALWAYS stumps them, because there is nothing wonderful about him they can think of. Its all religious edict and threats of punishment. The ones that do accept Christ have their homes and property taken away and are treated horribly - but yet they come. Praise God.
LOL!
Yeah ;-)
