Living in a different dimension without time or space limitations
We've got ONE verse in the Bible that Jesus "supposedly" said about the matter--sure it's in three gospels, but Matthew and Luke copied it directly from Mark, that's a historic fact. Anyway, we've got one verse, "They neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like the angels" that has spawned a whole theological belief system about sex in heaven, and Jesus probably never even said it. How can we trust texts that were most assuredly tampered with by a bunch of frustrated old codgers running the early church who likely inserted it in the gospels just to rain on everybody else's parade. I mean they were dried up impotent old men with no sexual capacity. They'd be damned if they were going to give any hope to the young good looking studs they secretly envied.

I'll take the experiences of NDE'ers who have seen the evidence of sex in heaven any day over 3000 year old writings we have no idea who wrote, probably Joe your friendly fish market owner who secretly fancied himself a Christian "prophet" and wrote Matthew and got it into circulation in the early days of Christianity.

Millions of people who have had NDE's say they rose out of their body at death and saw themselves in spiritual bodies in every respect the same as their physical ones right down to the sex organs.

Jesus said that no one will marry or will be given in marriage. He did not say that marriages performed on earth will be null and void. In other words, getting married is not the same thing as being married.

LOL. I've always wondered what people think would be there instead if our sex organs were missing.

Yeah, but the bigger question is: If we're going to have the sex organs what in the hell are we going to do with them? Or is the man's just a shriveled up appendage like an appendix?

Well, you know what they say... If you don't use it, you lose it. It's all up to you!

Default Will sex exist in Heaven? I'm hoping it doesn't but would like to know.

This question reveals unambiguously (if there wasn't ample proof of it everywhere in life anyway) that we are carnal-minded and it dominates our thinking.

Isn't there some not-so-new of an argument that we will remain physical but in renewed physical condition in the life to come?

Also, why are the majority of Christians affirming that there is absolutely no sex in Heaven? Do they know a lot about it? I guess I'm neutral about the whole thing also.

Do they know a lot about it. No. They don't even know a scintilla about it. The best they can do is quote this silly verse about "in heaven they neither marry..." which they have absolutely no understanding about what Jesus was saying in context--if Jesus even said it at all.

Why do the majority of Christians affirm no sex? It's called "misery loves company." Most of them have had bad sexual relationships and have given up on sex so they're down on anybody having any kind of happy sexual relations here....or there. Their opinion just reflects their overall negativity on the topic.

It's definitely, "not so new." Any open-minded reading of the New Testament should prove that.
