WILL THERE BE SEX IN HEAVEN?

Surely, there will be no sex in heaven. Jesus teaches that in heaven, we will all be spirits. We will all be like the angels of heaven which can't either be defined as male or female (Mathew 22:23-33). There will be no male or female; we will all be spirits, in the image of God. There will be no marriage and obviously no any such actions associated with marriage.

The primary purpose of sex on earth is to reproduce physical mortal bodies. In heaven, there is no need for sex so as to reproduce. There will not be these earthly physical mortal bodies in heaven.

However, there are some religions who are nursing the belief that there will be male and female in heaven and that sex will be there as it is here on earth. In fact they presume sex will be part of the rewards by God to whoever will have pleased Him. I must categorically say; this is a false belief with no any scriptural back up.

Having formerly been a Muslim, I have no choice but to say what I am going to say, and just the way it was taught to me. I was taught while still a young Muslim boy that when you die a Muslim, one of the rewards for dying a Muslim is to be given women who would present themselves to you when you need them. Such a belief would drive not only me but many of others to strive to be the Muslims that Allah wanted us to be. This is because nobody doubts how sweet and exciting sex can be. In fact, to Muslims, everything that is as sweet here on earth either to eat or practice is one of the rewards by Allah to those who closely follow after him. 

We were made to believe that just as the physical mortal person is here, so will he/she be in heaven and therefore all that that person enjoys or holds dear here on earth will equally be available to the same in heaven. The Muslim young men who set themselves ablaze today with the aim to die with or kill many others (non-believers in the Muslim faith, infidels), do it in the spirit that Allah will after all reward them with many sweet good things including virgin girls so as to thank them for the “good” job done. However though, just as I said before, all such is mere say with no evidenced proof.

Many other religions have strange beliefs; which I may not be able to mention one after the other, that are never founded. However though, the Christian Faith is very clear on such very topical issues. When we die, we have simply transformed into spirits, whether destined to hell or to heaven. There is no male or female spirit. There is therefore no mechanism of playing sex because it is an act that involves physical mortal bodies. In heaven, we will have put on heavenly bodies (1Corinthians 5:1-10), like the one Jesus put on when He ascended to heaven. Equally so, those who are destined to hell will put on the type of body which is suitable for hell fire.

Additionally, the rewards of being faithful believers and followers of Jesus CHRIST will not be as we envisage them here on earth. There may not actually be such rewards as we may presume (1 Corinthians 5:4), but one reward scripture states categorically is eternal life (Romans 6:23), what goes with it is only known to God almighty.
