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.

Now, what does a woman do? When the germ comes from the male sex... Now deny that. The woman has no life in her at all. She only has a little egg, which is a field out here. Like you took a field and disc it all up and put a spray on it and spray all the germs out of it, and not even grass or nothing could grow in it; and then you fertilize it again and sow some seed in there: and if the enemy comes and sows some other seed, the same law of God will ripen both seeds. Well, God wasn't intending for that to be (see?)...

because of the blood that was brought through from the germ cell from Cain, see. Now, He comes back with the creative power just like He did Adam, creating Adam; here is the second Adam. And through that breaking cell there ... where sin ... Cain broke that blood cell upon the just. See? Now this blood cell---because he killed Abel, but Abel was born sex, but this one wasn't born sex; it was a creation of God, the beginning of it. And it redeemed the earth and all of the calcium, potash, petroleum, cosmic light tha...

You see, through the sexual intercourse here had brought from Satan, the serpent---which was not a reptile; had legs 'cause his legs went off of him. He was the most subtle ... the only beast that would coordinate with the woman. A beast seed won't do it now, man and nothing else. They tried it; won't work, see. The seed life out of a male won't go into a female woman; it won't do it.
