Why There Is No Sex in Heaven

Last Updated: August 24, 2020

Here are two contrasting cultural beliefs for you to consider:

  1. Sex is the best thing on the planet
  2. Heaven is full of the best things we can imagine

So if both of these things are true, why does the Bible tell us there won’t be any sex in heaven?

No Sex in Heaven?

In Matthew 22:30, Jesus says, “At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.”

I’ve expounded elsewhere how God designed sex to happen within marriage only, so we can naturally deduce here, as the original listeners would have automatically, that if there is no marriage in heaven, there is also no sex.

No sex in heaven? Many might ask what the other options are at this point!

One of the reasons this news shocks us is because we view sex and heaven selfishly. Culturally, sex has become a selfish act of consumption. And our view of heaven is typically a place of self-centered utopia. We picture beaches and paradise and all the pleasure for ourselves that we can dream of, often not with much thought about God being around at all. This me-centered paradise is a great match for lots of sex for all of eternity. In fact, several of the main world religions promise this (maybe a clue that those religions were made up by a man? But I digress…)

But thank goodness that’s not what heaven, or sex, is meant to be according to the Bible.

Sex is a one-flesh relationship that bonds a man and a woman together in every way possible. It’s why this one-flesh relationship can only function healthily within marriage. The one-flesh bond includes full acceptance and commitment to all a person is, not simply their body parts (Gen. 2:24, Matt. 19:4-6, 1 Cor. 6:15-16). You are one flesh, at all times, in all ways, which can’t be undone.

This sounds pretty amazing, and deep, and night-and-day different from what our culture calls “sex” today. But there’s more. This sex and this one flesh don’t exist for their own end. They aren’t the destination, they are simply another sign post. A sign post pointing to where?

What Sex Really Points To

After giving a treatise on marriage and sex, Ephesians 5 concludes with the following:

“’For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church” (Eph. 5:31-32).

Heyo! The whole time Paul was talking about husbands and wives and marriage and sex in Ephesians 5, it says here he was actually talking about Jesus and us! Marriage and sex are metaphors for the relationship we have with Jesus.

What is a metaphor? It is a sign post. It points to the real thing. It’s something tangible we can look at in order to understand something else. It’s a symbol we can learn from in order to understand and experience the real thing.

The real thing is the one-flesh relationship Jesus desires to have with each of us. It’s the relationship he has with those who call themselves Christians. It’s a relationship of intimate love and acceptance and support and trust, where Jesus is the groom and we are the bride. Earthly marriage and sex are symbols that can help point us toward the real thing.

This is why there is no sex in heaven. You don’t need sign posts when you’ve arrived at the destination!

It’d be like driving to Disney World and parking the car at the green highway sign with the white text of “DISNEY WORLD” and the white arrow pointing to the off ramp. Imagine parking your car there, taking a selfie with the family, and then driving home, telling everyone you’d been to Disney World!

The destination is always better than the sign post.

Heaven Is Not a Perpetual Fast

Some might disagree!  But the reason for the disagreement is because we’ve been worshiping the sign post for far too long and we simply don’t have the full experience of the real thing yet. In talking of the perspective that heaven would be a “perpetual fast” from sex in the minds of some, C.S. Lewis had this to say:

“…or else of a perpetual fast. As regards the fast, I think our present outlook might be like that of a small boy who, on being told that the sexual act was the highest bodily pleasure, should immediately ask whether you ate chocolates at the same time. On receiving the answer no, he might regard absence of chocolates as the chief characteristic of sexuality. In vain would you tell him that the reason why lovers in their carnal raptures don’t bother about chocolates is that they have something better to think of. The boy knows chocolate: he does not know the positive thing that excludes it.

We are in the same position. We know the sexual life; we do not know, except in glimpses, the other thing which, in Heaven, will leave no room for it.”

-C.S. Lewis, as quoted in a 1947 Time Magazine article

A boy can’t understand if you try to tell him sex is the highest bodily pleasure, because he is convinced chocolate is and isn’t ready to understand sex. We can’t understand that pure intimacy with God in his direct presence is what makes heaven, Heaven, not that it’s some me-centered place where we eat Bons Bons on the beach, while watching Netflix, and of course, having sex. Nor can we fully grasp that intimacy with God is better than sex, both now and for all eternity. But the truth remains, which we are exhorted to believe and live by.

This is fantastic news. We worship sex on earth, but it’s also our place of deepest longing and brokenness. A single person feels unloved because they don’t have a sexual partner. A married person goes to pornography, an affair, or fantasy, because the sexual partner they do have isn’t satisfying them.

The Answer to Our Longing for Sex

The answer to our longing for sex is not sex! It’s intimacy with Jesus. We get to experience this intimacy on earth. This unconditional love where God adopts us as his sons and daughters and is well-pleased with us and we are fully accepted into his arms because of what Jesus did on the cross for us.  But imagine this experience in a fully direct, physical way. Wow! That is heaven.

This gives us reason to not worship sex and it also reminds us we don’t need sex. Whether we experience the sign post or not is somewhat irrelevant. What is relevant is that we take God at his word that the destination will be much better, attuning all of our navigational tools toward that destination, not any metaphor, imitation, or sign post along the way.

  1. Jeff W

    Rai , Hope all is well, do you have a reply to my above comment of
    May 12th, 2023 at 9:13pm .
    Also according to the Bible is
    Masturbation inherently sinful ?

    • Rai

      Masturbation?

      Depending on the SITUATION, IF the doctor requires his patient to masturbate to find out whether they are impotent or not.

      But Scripturally?

      No.

      HOWEVER anyone who has an emission of semen (take note semen and NOT urine, which is different) is considered unclean.

      Read

      Leviticus 15:16-18 The Message (MSG)

      “When a man has an emission of semen, he must bathe his entire body in water; he remains unclean until evening. Every piece of clothing and everything made of leather which gets semen on it must be washed with water; it remains unclean until evening.

      Adultery and Fornication, however, especially molesting boys and girls, that the priests and cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church (and I hope the Author of this blog is UNBIASED to approve this post) is proven guilty of, IS A GRIEVOUS SIN, especially because the OFFENSE they committed against, little children.

      The Lord Jesus lays a HEAVY PENALTY on those who commit such crimes on

      Matthew 18:5-6 (UKJV) And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receives me.
      But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

      So those priests, preachers, pastors or evangelists who point a condemning finger on Christians who masturbate and watch porn BUT are committing greater sin by tolerating SEXUAL PREDATORS and PEDOPHILES in their Church by spending huge sum of money to bail them out of court, are GUILTY of a GREATER sin.

      According to the Bible an emission of semen (which is psychologically natural whether one masturbates or not, although unclean is NOT a sin).

      However Adultery, Fornication and Pedophilia IS.

      So these priests and pastors who are GUILTY of a GREATER sin, should stop condemning others, otherwise they are like the pharisees before, who strain out a gnat (careful to point out small offenses) YET swallow a camel (by committing greater crimes).

  2. Jeff W

    Rai , however what if in Heaven and the Millennium & New Earth, what if some Christians want to enjoy Sex & Lovemaking but Not procreate, how will that work out. Will God respect their wishes? Since there will be no diseases in Heaven and the New Earth, and no unwanted pregnancies, no one would ever have to use Condoms or birth control in Heaven.

    • Rai

      Maybe.

      Maybe not.

      But the purpose of Sex isn’t just for pleasure between lovers (Proverbs 5:18-19) but also for procreation, Jeff (Genesis 1:28 & Isaiah 65:23). You have to understand that.

      GODS Original Plan since the creation of man is to fill the earth with godly SEED (Malachi 2:15) not lustful perverts.

      That’s why in the New Heavens and New Earth there will be the SEED of the blessed of the Lord (YHWH) and their OFFSPRING (Isaiah 65:23) that will inhabit a PERFECT and SINLESS World, much like the world we have today, BUT without the curse of sin that brings sorrow, sadness, misery, hunger and death BUT joy, happiness, wealth,
      health, abundance, everlasting youth and life everlasting.

      As it is written on

      Isaiah 60:20-21

      Your sun shall no more go down; neither shall your moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.

      (Compare a parallel passage on Revelation 21:3)

      Your PEOPLE also shall be ALL righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I may be glorified.

  3. Jeff W

    Rai , I didn’t see your response, I do now , Thanks
    For the sake of argument, let’s assume Sexual Intercourse and Lovemaking do Not Exist in Heaven and the New Earth
    Couldn’t God be Just and Fair and Allow Certain Exceptions for Sexual Intercourse & Lovemaking to Exist in Heaven and the New Earth for the countless disabled and healthy Christians alike who for various reasons are often unable to get Sex, Love, Companionship and Relationships in their brief Earthly Lives ? As compared to people who had great Sex Lives, Love Lives
    Furthermore if Sex & Lovemaking doesn’t Exist in Heaven and the New Earth, will there still be Romantic Relationships, Companionship, the Misery of Loneliness should Never Exist in Heaven and the New Earth

    • Rai

      Hi Jeff,

      He MAY or MAY not. We do not know for sure. But He made exceptions with king David though, by giving him MULTIPLE wives (2 Samuel 12:8) although the law FORBIDS a king to multiply wives to himself (Deuteronomy 17:17)

      But I guess when GOD allows it, its an exception.

      The SAME could be true for those who haven’t gotten their romantic wishes granted here,on this present age since GOD is “fair and just.”

      But then, we dont have to “assume,”because the Sacred Writings points it CLEARLY, that childbearing and procreation will continue to exist, when ALL things are restored in the New heavens and the New Earth.

      (Acts 3:21 & Isaiah 65:17,23)

    • Rai

      Hi Jonathan,

      Straight out answer from the Scriptures?
      Only Marriage (Matthew 22:30) but NOT sex or procreation which The Creator designed from the Beginning BEFORE marriage existed, in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 1:28-29 & Isaiah 65:23)

      Marriages would no longer be necessary at that time because righteous mankind have been completely reconciled to GOD as His Spiritual Wife, that is to say “Married to Him” rendering all earthly marriages null and void (Hosea 2:19-20 & Revelation 19:7-9)

      At the PRESENT arrangement, its not the case, because we as Believers are still ENGAGED to be married Christ, a Marriage that will ONLY be consummated, once He returns. (2 Corinthians 11:2 & Revelation 19:7-9)

      That is why TODAY, a man AND woman must be married before sex or before reproducing, offsprings.

      The RULES will be different when the New Heavens and The New Earth comes.

      Hope that’s clear to you.

      To GOD be the glory

  4. I’d say that sex is an appetizer, like garlic cheese bread, while the real meal, like pizza, will be in heaven.

  5. Jeff W

    Rai , Hello , do you have a reply to my comments of
    March 26, 2023 ? Including my Question about Revelation 22:5 and the New Earth

    • Rai

      Hi Jeff

      I already have ANSWERED IT. Please read My lengthy response above

    • Rai

      I guess this one has been an overlooked issue, and I want to thank GOD, first of all and the author of this blog for his patience, in approving, our posts.

      In RESPONSE to what
      Eric Breaux wrote on
      August 9th, 2021 – 9:10am

      “I’m sure Isaiah 65:17-25 is about the millennium, because it says people will still die, except those who were resurrected, as said in Revelation 20:6.”

      He seems oblivious of the fact that Isaiah 65:17 CLEARLY says New Heavens and New Earth and NOT Millennium.

      By saying something which SCRIPTURE doesn’t say, clearly means he is CONTRADICTING Scripture and shouldn’t be believed in.

      The New Heavens and New Earth on Isaiah PARALLELS with the New Heavens and New Earth on Revelations chapters 21-22 and NOT on its preceding chapter, 20 where the Millennial Reign OF Christ and His Saints are.

      Mr. Eric Breaux is CLEARLY confusing the two (Revelations Millennium and Isaiah’s New Heavens and New Earth as one and the same) BECAUSE he reasons, there is still death there on Isaiah 65:20 WITHOUT realizing that even in Revelations New Heavens and New Earth death STILL exists OUTSIDE the Holy City and that is, the Second Death for non- believers AND YES, including THEIR Children. (Isaiah 65:20 Cp Revelation 21:8)

      This is ONE thing that we, who CORRECTLY HANDLE THE Word of Truth should CLARIFY based on the Word of GOD alone, to dismantle the WRONG understanding of those who twist The Scripture to their own destruction. (2 Peter 3:16)

      Beware of dogs. (Philippians 3:2)

  6. Jeff W

    Rai , I also can’t believe part of the main article says
    “we don’t need sex” such nonsense, human beings definitely need Sex. It’s a Physical & Psychological Need , as stated in the famous Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, where Sexual Intercourse is listed as a Vital Need for people’s sanity and self-esteem
    Countless Millions of disabled and healthy Christians alike are Suffering from Chronic Long Term inability to get Dates, Sex, Love, Companionship, Relationships for various Reasons.
    What is your opinion of
    Revelation 22:5 which describes the Coming New Earth
    Revelation 22:5 the
    New American Standard Bible renders this verse
    ” And there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illuminate them; and they will reign forever and ever.”

    In your opinion if there is no more Night , how will 24 hour days work , does no more Night mean no more darkness ? Many people don’t like the Darkness of Night
    Did you see the blog I created about my Mother and my hope of a Perfect World . Plus in your opinion what type of bodies will Christians have in the Intermediate Heaven ? The current present Heaven ? As opposed to the Glorified Physical Bodies Christians will have in the New Earth , In Christ – Jeff W

    • Rai

      My opinion matters less.

      What I think is of no importance.

      What matters is what GOD thinks, according to the Scripture which is NOT according to My own private interpretation, but His alone. (2 Peter 1:20)

      The Lord Jesus says on—

      John 7:17-18 (WEB) 

      If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.
      He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and NO UNRIGHTEOUSNESS is in him.

      And if we seek the GLORY of Him who sent us—that is GOD, we shall speak HIS OWN WORDS from the Bible—NOT ours.  As it is written—

      If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. (1 Peter 4:11) 

      The words of GOD and NOT the opinions of men.

      Well get into that LATER, after we emphasize that sex—which is the main subject of this article, is not wicked or evil, as some FALSE Christians claim because it was designed by GOD from the beginning, for pleasure and procreation and through it, we should know the DEEP things of GOD. (1 Corinthians 2:10)

      Since it is GOD and NOT Satan The Devil, who created humans in HIS OWN IMAGE, its only appropriate for us to believe that every part of our bodies INCLUDING our Sexual Organs, are Divine. As Solomon wrote on

      Proverbs 20:12 (WEB) 

      The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, Yahweh has made even both of them.

      Ears are used for hearing and hearing by the word of GOD. (Romans 10:17)

      The eyes are for seeing and reading the Word, the hands created to serve and the feet created to bring Good News (Isaiah 52:7)

      Even the shapes of humanitys sexual organs of both male and female are designed in such a way for them to understand the mysteries of The Kingdom of Heaven. These organs are NOT just objects for lustful desires BUT for heavenly revelations.

      It is only a mind full of carnal desires and malice who couldn’t PERCEIVE these mysteries.

      There is a reason why a male reproductive system is fashioned like a key to unlock the door of Heaven—which is a womans reproductive system.

      There is a reason why both couples BEFORE experiencing pleasure have to pass through PAIN, why a man has to struggle to enter their spouses “narrow gate” and why females, on the other hand need to bleed and experience PAIN before PLEASURE, in order to TEACH them the deeper mysteries of GOD’S Kingdom—as they being ONE Flesh—as The Messiah is to His Congregation—they through MUCH TRIBULATION must enter into The Kingdom of GOD. (Acts 14:22)

      There are no shortcuts nor easy journeys to a Heavenly Life. Those who take a shortcut by having a one night stand with a harlot—whos way is like a narrow pit—only do themselves more harm than good. (Proverbs 23:27)

      That is why godly males/husbands are encouraged to have their springs (metaphor for sperm) reserved ONLY for their wives alone (Proverbs 5:16-18) NOT on any woman—or “the public squares”—just as GOD’S Springs of Life belong ONLY for HIS Bride—HIS People ALONE (Psalms 87:7) and NOT on Mystery Babylon.

      It is for this reason why Marriage should be honorable before all and the bed undefiled (Hebrews 13:4) because a man is made only for his bride, his own body—not someone else’s.

      Do you now see HOW lovely a Godly Relationship CAN be between a male AND a female IF we, through the KEY OF KNOWLEDGE, UNLOCK the Deeper Mysteries, of GOD? (Luke 11:52)

      This is sadly, one of the things the religious leaders, whos minds are stuck in the gutter, do NOT know and have NOT revealed to us, because all they see is the flesh AND not its shadow. The carnal side and NOT the spiritual side, of things. They see Sex as something to be abhorred and dirty because their eyes do NOT see, the SPIRITUAL side of it—which is what spiritual intimacy LEADS us to—to know the fleshly AND the spiritual side, of things—just like the tabernacle on EARTH, is a SHADOW of the Heavenly things.  (Hebrews 11:5)

      This is why The Canticles—or the Most Excellent Song was writ, for us to know that sexual pleasure between a male and a female ALSO has its spiritual, counterpart.

      The milk from a females breasts represents the Milk of the Word as those who are born of the Spirit, which in Hebrew Ruah— is feminine, should desire or crave for. (1 Peter 2:2; John 3:8 & Galatians 4:29)

      Milk and honey under the brides lips (Songs 4:11) represent the sweetness of GOD’S Word whenever their lips intertwine, and as one Proverb puts it—

      An honest answer is like a KISS in the Lips. (Proverbs 24:26)

      So may The Bridegroom kiss us with The Kisses of His lips, for His love is better than wine. (Songs 1:2)

      No one spoke like Him before. (John 7:46)

      His lips is sweetness itself.
      He is ALTOGETHER lovely. (Songs 5:16)

      As the Brides resplendent beauty is compared to the sun, moon and stars combined, (Songs 6:10) so is The Congregation of GOD in all Her Immaculate fairness, in Heaven. (Revelation 12:1-2)

      A church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete. (Ephesians 5:27 (BBE) 

      So now you know dear friend and brother Jeff. What I’ve shared so far is just a fraction of the heavenly things or realities (John 3:12) revealed to Me, by His Divine Spirit, as A Comforting Mother to Her child. (John 16:7; Acts 9:31 & Isaiah 66:13)

      Just as a husband and wife feels pain BEFORE experiencing a heavenly climax in an earthly romance, so must we pass through the needles hole BEFORE entering the joys of The Heavenly Kingdom as His Bride and Beloved.

      Ive many more things to add but I guess those would suffice, for now.

      As promised, we shall now answer your question WITH The Aid of GODS Spirit through HIS Word.

      You asked My opinion of Revelation 22:5 and just as Ive previously stated, what Ill give you is NOT My own Opinion, but the TRUTH of GOD’S Word by comparing Scripture WITH Scripture, so that the glory may be HIS alone, NOT Mine.

      First of, to understand the passage in its CORRECT CONTEXT we should FIRST know the PLACE. Where is the PLACE which John spoke of on Rev 22:5? The previous CHAPTER gives us an ANSWER.

      Its in the HOLY CITY, THE NEW JERUSALEM  (Revelation 21:1-7)

      In the HOLY City, there will indeed be NO night WHY? Because it is GODS LIGHT that illumines it, as prophesied on Isaiah 60:19-20 (WEB) 

      The sun will be no more your light by day; nor will the brightness of the moon give light to you, but Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory.
      Your sun will not go down any more, nor will your moon withdraw itself; for Yahweh will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning will end.

      Where GOD is there is LIGHT, for GOD IS LIGHT and in Him there is NO darkness AT ALL. (1 John 1:5)

      BUT this DOESN’T mean that in the NEW Heavens and NEW Earth darkness wouldn’t exist—for it STILL does BUT this time ONLY OUTSIDE The Heavenly City— a darkness that is reserved for the wicked, the dogs and the unprofitable servant, as The Son of Man has SPOKEN ON

      Matthew 25:30 (WEB) 

      Throw out the unprofitable servant into the OUTER DARKNESS, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

      And ALSO by John on

      Revelation 22:15 (WEB)  Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

      BUT in GOD’S Holy City, The NEW Jerusalem, where ONLY the Saved ones are, there would ONLY BE LIGHT. In a prophecy made by the prophet Zechariah on—

      Zechariah 14:7 (WEB) 

      It will be a unique day which is known to Yahweh; not day, and not night; but it will come to pass, that at evening time there will be light.

      AND ISAIAH on

      Isaiah 30:26 (WEB)  Moreover the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, in the day that Yahweh binds up the fracture of his people, and heals the wound they were struck with.
      THE LIGHT ON THAT NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH ONLY SHINES on the SAVED—just as they’re the only ones who are ENLIGHTENED in this world—NOT the UNSAVED. So that the prophecy spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled

      Isaiah 60:1-3 (WEB)  “Arise, shine; for your light has come, and Yahweh’s glory has risen on you.

      For, behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; BUT Yahweh will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.

      Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.

      As for your 24 hour timeframe, time no longer exists, in Eternity AS WE KNOW IT today. Although there might be Sacred feasts to be celebrated like the Feast of Tabernacles (Zechariah 14:16-18), the 24 hour time period AS WE KNOW IT HERE will no longer exist there. Because we shall know time AS THE LORD OF ETERNITY knows it. As the Apostle Peter wrote—

      … that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (2 Peter 3:8)

      And last but not the least, on what type of bodies shall we have, read the Apostle Pauls thoughts about it on

      1 Corinthians 15:35-49 (WEB) 

      But someone will say, “How are the dead raised?” and, “With what kind of body do they come?”

      You foolish one, that which you yourself sow is not made alive unless it dies.
      That which you sow, you don’t sow the body that will be, but a bare grain, maybe of wheat, or of some other kind.
      But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
      All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.
      There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial differs from that of the terrestrial.
      There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.
      So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown perishable; it is raised imperishable.
      It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
      It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.
      So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul.”  The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
      However that which is spiritual isn’t first, but that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.
      The first man is of the earth, made of dust. The second man is the Lord from heaven.
      As is the one made of dust, such are those who are also made of dust; and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
      As we have borne the image of those made of dust, let’s also bear the image of the heavenly.

      Hope that answers all your questions.

      As an ADDED BONUS, if I might add, our Resurrected and Spiritual BODIES like the Lord may have FLESH AND BONES (Luke 24:39) BUT NOT Flesh and Blood, because Flesh and Blood as Paul wrote cannot inherit the Kingdom of GOD. (1 Corinthians 15:50)

      BECAUSE GOD is Spirit so therefore we should ALSO be transformed into SPIRITUAL BEINGS like unto Our Father, the Father of spirits. (Hebrews 12:9)

      To HIM be the Glory both now and forevermore. AMEN.

  7. Rai

    An excerpt from the main article that reads …

    “we don’t need sex”

    Is BOTH unscriptural AND illogical. First off, because its GOD NOT the devil who designed sex BOTH for pleasure and procreation AND second if our parents TRACING back to the time of Adam and Eve did NOT exist, then HOW DID WE HUMANS MULTIPLY?

    The hatred of sex stems from an ASCETIC if not PAGAN view that LEADS to the DIABOLICAL belief that marriage is evil and forbidden, AS recorded in Scripture.

    (1 Timothy 4:3)

    Lets ALWAYS remember what The SCRIPTURE says…

    To the PURE ALL THINGS are pure. (Titus 1:15)

    And that INCLUDES Sex.

    • Jeff W

      Jonathan, could you please elaborate in detail what you mean by “a step up from Sex” ?

    • Jeff W,

      I mean, an upgrade.

      Did you see my other comment relating sex and marriage to an appetizer rather than the meal?
