Will There Be Sex in Heaven?
1) Direct Answer
No. In heaven, in the resurrection, there will be no sex and no marriage. The saints will be like the angels, and the union we rejoice in is our spiritual oneness with Christ.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Jesus said, “In the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven” (Matthew 22:30). Luke adds, “They which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection… neither marry… neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels” (Luke 20:34-36).
- The “marriage supper of the Lamb” (Revelation 19:7-9) is the celebration of the redeemed being joined to Christ. Ephesians says earthly marriage is “a great mystery” pointing to “Christ and the church” (Ephesians 5:31-32). That union is spiritual, not carnal.
- Our bodies will be changed: “Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 15:50). We will be raised in glory and power (1 Corinthians 15:42-44), fashioned like His glorious body (Philippians 3:21). In that state there is no death, no curse (Revelation 21:4; 22:3), so the earthly order of marrying and multiplying no longer applies.
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- Marriage and sexual relations belong to this mortal life for companionship and the raising of children. But in the resurrection there is no death, so no need to replenish the earth. That’s why Jesus said we will be like the angels—alive forever, not entering into marriage.
- Our joy and love will be higher, fuller, and purer—perfect fellowship with God and with one another—without the pull of earthly appetites. The “marriage” then is the true spiritual union: Christ in His Bride.
4) Reinforcing Statement
Now notice, the Bible settles it simply: no marrying in the resurrection, like the angels. It’s not a loss, but a higher life—perfect love without temptation, the fullness of Christ with His redeemed.

Notice now, how we go. After the world's fire baptism (all germs is gone) makes it a fit place then for heavens to dwell here on earth. Type now is sitting in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Passed from this dirty (like the little woman was)--- into the expressed attribute of God. Now we are the sons of God---not we will be. We're the attributes of God's thinking. See?

Even these things: Satan, sinners are gone for eternity, never no more to be ... all... See, Satan cannot create. If he is, he's God. See? He can only pervert what has been created. See? And all perversion will---perverting will be done away with, and death is a pervertage of life, and when the perversion's done there can be no more death. Old age is a sign of death, and when old age is gone away, life comes in. All perversion signs and everything else is gone. Thorns and thistles is a sign of sin. The earth'll be...

Now, we understand here that these two scriptures... The reason I read II Peter, the 3rd chapter and compared it with Revelations 21, they both here are speaking the same subject, but John never---never wrote it out like Peter did. See? We understand that this great home of the bride is to be here on earth. And now, if you read... Just like 21 chapter---21st chapter of Revelations, the apostle here said---or the prophet said that, "I saw a new heaven and a new earth." Sounds like there comes a annihilation.

Remember, Jesus said---about a day before that, He said, "Verily, I say unto you that some are standing here now will not see death until they see the kingdom of God established in power!" What was it? The resurrected dead and the raptured saints together, caught up together to meet Him in the air with God overshadowing Him, and Jesus standing there in his shadow saying, "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased." ... the order of the new kingdom.

Now, this is my own thoughts, minister brethren, in my own way that I feel the Holy Spirit has revealed to me. Now, the next thing is to happen is the Jewish---or the Gentile elected bride to be caught up with the rest of the Gentile elected bride that's been down through the ages---be caught up in the presence of Christ in the heavens. The dead raises; the ones that's alive and remain is changed; and they're caught up together in the air to meet the Lord. Then, because... After the wedding ceremony in glory, Jesus...
