Barbara Walters is pimping her “Where is Heaven?” special and just said that Christians don’t believe there is sex in heaven. Well then, I need a new religion stat!\
ETA- I started watching the special and am disappointed she didn’t talk to anyone from the LDS Church. We have very different beliefs about Heaven and Hell, and who goes where. Including us would have added A LOT to the conversation, imo.\
A follow up about the sex question: she asked a Catholic guy (some big wig from DC and the president of some Catholic college) and he said there wouldn’t be sex or any of the other physical pleasures in heaven. Later, she spoke to an Evangelical minister and he said there would be physical pleasures in heaven, like all you can eat bbq and cookies. But he didn’t specifically mention sex and she didn’t ask. What kind of journalist is she?
Sex is heavenly
Okay, so I’m very late to the game on this post, but I do have a quick comment to share. For me, I’m not so much concerned as to whether or not there’ll be sex in heaven as I am disturbed by Matthew 22:30.
“For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.”
That’s the quote that leads many to say that in heaven, our spouses will no longer be our spouses. This has bothered me a great deal for a long time. Maybe it’s selfish and naive, but I want my wife to be my wife (sex or no sex). I don’t want that to ever be over.
