Christian writer clarifies that there will be no sex in Heaven [View all]
If your sex life was less-than-fulfilling here on earth, you’re not going to get a do-over in the afterlife — that is, if believe Greg Morse knows something you don’t.
The Friendly Atheist‘s Hemant Mehta highlighted an op-Ed Morse recently published in the religious website Desiring God, where he argues that the concept of sex and marriage in heaven (which some Christians believe) is a false teaching.
In the piece, Morse recounts an alleged conversation he had with someone who tried to argue that Islam’s version of the afterlife is preferable, and backs up his thesis with two bible verses from the books of Luke and Matthew:
“The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage” (Luke 20:34–35), and “In the resurrection, God’s people will be like the angels in heaven — without spouse or sex (Matthew 22:30).
Unless I’m reading him incorrectly, Morse seems to be ceding that Heaven might not be the party we’d like to see after all, and that’s the whole point.
