My Pastor had a good answer to this question."There is no sex in heaven"

In that case, I'll take the Handbasket Express. Thanks.

When a person becomes a Christian they change for the better. I'm speaking from personal experience here! Before I was born again 16 months ago I believed in the New Age nonsense and was proud of how much I could and did curse. I thought that church was for losers and people who were too stupid to know better than to fall for that BS. I used to brag that God would send a lightning bolt should I ever enter a church. ALL of that changed when I got down on my knees the afternoon of March 26, 2007 and told God that I wasn't even sure if He existed but if He did would he please help me. And He did!

Fireworks didn't go off around me. When I got up off my knees I didn't feel like I was Queen of the World. But I had already started to change.

And I've been continuing to change for the better ever since then. I'm now the proud(!) owner of SIX Bibles and numerous books on Christianity. Sure I've had my ups and downs but I've slowly and continue to do so - get better as a person. I now WANT to please the Lord. I've confessed every sin I can ever remember committing! People who knew me before I was born again HAVE seen how I've changed for the better. Its the best decision I ever made.....

There's no marriage in heaven. Not the same thing.

Having homosexual tendencies or being totally “gay” is not the root of the problem. The Bible teaches that “practicing” homosexuality (a man lying with another man.....sodomy....etc.) is a sin.

Being a homosexual believer who abstains is no different from being a heterosexual believer who refuses to commit sex outside of marriage or via an adulterous relationship.

That’s just my Reader’s Digest version. Perhaps more later.

Assuming your spouse died here on earth and you remarried.
 
Do you get to be a polygamist in Heaven?

You're not the first person to ask such a question: Mark 12:18-27.

Nor the first not to get a straight answer.

I would tend to think that in Christ God does not see us as male or female and after the resurection would it not be the same? What is the point of sex? To procreate, and we all know that God has no grandchildren.

There is [now no distinction] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is not male [a]and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

11[In this new creation all distinctions vanish.] There [a]is no room for and there can be neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, [nor difference between nations whether alien] barbarians or Scythians [[b]who are the most savage of all], nor slave or free man; but Christ is all and in all [[c]everything and everywhere, to all men, without distinction of person].

If procreation is the only point of sex, then maybe God should have created the baby tree where you could go pick one when it’s ripe.

If there’s no room for procreation in Heaven, then it means the universe is completely full.

If Heaven is an all-adults club, then it will be a little less fun.

9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. ( 1 Corinthians 6:9,10)

Just so no one deceives themselves - the Bible, inspired and written by the living God, has stated more than directly in more than a few places in Scripture that practicing, unrepentant homosexuals will not see heaven.

I'm in a heap of trouble...And so is everyone I know...

I have to admit...I'm an idolator...I love food...I look forward to the next meal...Prime Rib??? I'll drive 30 miles for a great prime rib...

I'm also a thief...Just last week I stole 2 grapes from the supermarket...A red one and a green one...I couldn't give them back...I ate them...

Covetous...That's written right on my forhead...I have my eye on a new G. Loomis fishing pole...

Sadly, the Apostle Paul must not have made it to heaven...Over there in Romans 7, he couldn't control his sin either...

Apparently heaven is out of reach for everyone...St. Peter may as well put a lock on those pearly gates...No one's going to show up...

What a propagandist diversionary question!

The truth is that CHRISTIANS go to heaven. The proper question is this: “Do all true Christians go to heaven?”

The answer is: “Yes.”

Then someone will ask. “Can a self-avowed, practicing, unrepentant homosexual be a true Christian?”

The answer is: “No. Not if he stays in that condition.”

Fred Phelps son? LMAO! Great song btw, never heard of this song or this guy before, but his 116,000 hits and 600 comments to his youtube song isn't bad.

You know this thread would be banned in Canada.

So you’re saying that Christ’s death was for nothing?

But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, shall never have forgiveness, but shall be guilty of an everlasting sin.

What's blaspheme against the Holy Spirit???

I'm thinking that's what you are saying...We ALL still commit sins that are covered by the verse you posted...How do you reconcile that???
