Is sex really a sin or does it exist in Heaven?

[Desconhecida]

Assuming there's a Heaven.

Question inspired by @laurieluvsit

[Grond21]

No, sex is not a sin. There are ways to do it sinfully, but that's true of pretty much everything. On its own, It's not a sin at all. In fact, it's one of the greatest gifts we have received from God!

As for whether or not it exists in heaven? We don't know. We know that Jesus said that there will be no marriage or giving in marriage.
But that doesn't mean there's no sex.

I've heard it described this way. And I like it. When we are a child, if we wanted to imagine the greatest activity or experience we could, it would always include eating candy. Because eating candy is just the funnest and most enjoyable thing we can think of. So what couldn't be better if you add candy?
And then we become adults and we discover that there are things that are way better than having candy. And so we're not nearly as interested in it.
In other words, we want candy because we have nothing greater to compare it to. We want sex in heaven because we have nothing greater to compare it to. But if heaven is greater, if the experience of being united with God is greater than sex is, then just like a child who sets aside the candy we would be an adult who sets aside the sexual because we are fulfilled by something greater than we can imagine.

So I guess you could conclude it this way. Either there is sex in heaven, and it would be better than any we have ever had on Earth. Or there is something even greater than that in heaven, and we will be more happy and more satisfied than we have ever dreamed.

[Desconhecida]

Wow, that was the perfect answer! You didn't judge, you didn't assume the truth or made fun of the fact. You gave your opinion and used a great analogy for it. Very clever!

[Grond21]

Thank you!! 😘😘

[MuffinBoi]

Honestly, none of us will ever know what heaven looks like (at least, no-one will live to tell the tale). Sex outside of marriage is a sin according to Catholics and since marriage ends when one of you does, the concept of the sacrament itself likely wouldn't be feasible as you're already dead to begin with in heaven, making the act of sex in heaven fundamentally sinful.

This all assumes that the rules written down are also true. I'm not too sure about other religions, but that's how it would work for the Catholics. Sorry to disappoint 😅

[btbc92]

Sex is not a sin. Having sex outside of marriage is a sin. Having sex that isn't the opposite sex as God intended it is a sin. Doing that with a person your not legally married to while still married, even legally, is a sin. Having sex with your family members and blood related that isn't your spouse is a sin. And yes, that includes animals which is bestiality. Sex with self: masturbation and porn is also a sin.

Sex won't be in heaven. Sex is of a desire that God placed in us to be fruitful and multiply with procreation. It's suppose to worship the Lord. When you die, you won't need it because in heaven your already one and complete with the Lord. You need no food, drink, etc, because your body is new and now made perfect. It is only temperary in this life. And one shouldn't think and be perversed of it and what is of God's Holy domain.

[laurieluvsit]

OMG! I HOPE IT'S NOT AND THAT IT DOES!!

[laurieluvsit]

Thank you for MHG Ms Desconhecida. Another masterpiece post you did!

[ohshee]

Well if it is then I'm a sinner and may God for give and even tho I like it for pleasure and bond but I think there is much more to it than just sex or getting off I would love to tell u about some day I hope it exist in heaven and we here on earth have a body. We use to preform sex I believe we are energy a little ball of light one we leave out body so imagine 2 balls of light flow threw each other as 1 nothing holding us back so as this ball of light all u have is emotion and memory of what we learned while in our body so,, what do u remember passion the way you might feel through my body's eyes I will want to remember every touch and feeling I want to experince all now to take with me when I leave

[Ifriqyan]

Sex on itself is not a sin.

In most religions (the orthodox approach at least, not the reformist ones), or at least, the most widespread religions:

- It is a sin if it is done outside of marriage
- It is a sin if it is rape
- It is a sin if it is done between 2 people of the same gender
- It is an aggravated sin if it is adultery.


Otherwise, sex (at least in my religion Islam ) is a blessing and something that is very good in a married couple.


And I don't know about other religions but fortunately sex exists in heaven.

[Nalix]

Sex itself isn't a sin. The act itself is quite neutral. So what is a sin? It's anything that pushes you away from God. Sex can do that. It can also bring you closer to God. Or have no affect at all.
So is there sex in heaven? Certainly. Some would say not, because they have the idea that everything having to do with matter and our material existence must be corrupt and an offense to God. That is patently absurd.
So what about sex does God like? It brings more people into the world, which is essential to his goals and plans, but it also is a powerful way to cement relationships and solidify loving homes. It can be used to break down relationships too, in which case God would not approve.

[Skadouchebag]

1) No mainstream abrahamic faith has ever thought that sex was in and of itself sinful the only one that did was the Shaker sect within Christianity, and natural selection took care of them, as it would with any group that banned sex. the only thing that's ever been debated is what sexual acts are and are not permissible. While different groups have had differently sized lengths of banned acts, they've all agreed that there is in fact a right way to go about it.
2) let's say you're explaining the act of sex to a child, and they ask if you get to eat candy while you do it. of course, you say no, since one has far more enjoyable things to concern themselves with. the child then decides that they don't ever want to have sex if they can't eat candy while they do it. This is exactly the sort of position an angel would be in if you asked them if people get to have sex while they're in heaven.

[genericname85]

sex isn't a sin at all. you're just not suppoest to fuck people outside of marriage, which is interesting if you look at it sociologically.

because back when the bible was written, it was basically a scocial norm to be married if you have sex. so the earliest age you could get married back then was 13.

so then if you had sex outside of marriage, it was assumed that you're having sex with someone younger than 13... so the biblical idea of "sex outside of marriage" assumed "pedophilia". that's why it's a sin in the bible.

[genericname85]

also: consider in the times the bible was written, having sex pretty much means you'd get pregnant. so there was the compulsive obligation of parenthood that came with sex. today we have birth control so parenthood is not an obligation that comes with sex anymore.

that's just one of the many ways the bible is super outdated.

[btbc92]

Not true at all. Please give facts and not your own interpretation. Getting married back in the Bible times have nothing to do with just having sex. It has to do with everybody being in the bereavement of having a union. That means your parents must approve, your friends must have proved, the community has to approve, The Village leader and all those in charge have to approve. You would have a ceremony you no different than what we have now as if they didn't have rings and all the stuff back then. Then you was considered married but you would not have anything else until you consummated the marriage and that was by having sex. And if it was found that especially a woman was not a virgin and she did not claim rape then she will be stoned to death. The same with who she had slept with if they got caught. If the man did not find her pleasing then he can annul the marriage even after the constipated. In truth , just because you have sex there was no guarantee you were going to get pregnant anyway. God had and still has the power to open and close wombs. He is still very much in control of that today. There's a lot more about sex, and getting married, informing families than you actually understand. The Bible is not outdated cuz we are still living underneath those laws today. Parenthood is an obligation and always have been. But just because you get pregnant doesn't make you a mother nor father. It just makes you the biological parents. It's not a compulsive obligation. It's what's right to do. Otherwise it just shows you lack moral and that's why it's a sin. Then grows and destroyed. It doesn't nurture.

[genericname85]

@btbc92 what's said in the bible isn't "facts". it's fiction. don't confuse those 2.

[btbc92]

Everybody being in agreement of having the Union*
The consummation*

Everything in life is a choice and that's all that the word of God points out in man. What we go do now was no different back then. Which is far worse off because we have forsaken God's commandment for pleasure and now we're paying the price for it. At least back then people knew God and they accepted the consequences when they made them. The world that we live in now is a place of lawlessness. Birth control for no amount of Technology will ever stop and God's creation nor his will for our lives. You will have to destroy human beings first.

The Bible very much have facts. But it's your choice to pay attention or not. Because if it wasn't facts you wouldn't be confusing anything because it shows that you lack not only wisdom but knowledge. You're adding onto things based on your own understanding and this is what's going to God forbid lead you into trouble in your own life if not others. Everything that we're going through now it's all in the Bible. The past is repeating itself. Nothing is new Under the Sun.

[btbc92]

And just even prove you wrong even more. You would also know that they had birth control methods back then also. People did abortions back then also people have politics fact in also. And they had technology very similar to ours also. It was not as primitive as you thought. Don't believe all the lies You've Been Told.

[scooogy]

The Bible says that Adam and Eve were ashamed of their private parts. Considering that porn hardly ever censors anything, not to mention the shameless acts happening, I think keeping in mind that people act by their own choice (as the Bible says it's God's plan) I guess the way we humans do view sex isn't necessarily the way it's viewed in Heaven. Therefore I believe that no matter how we do view it, if we've been created by birth and therefore by sex had by a man and a woman, you couldn't say it didn't exist in Heaven.

[floorislava85]

sin is quite simply anything done that isn't in faith.
But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin. (Romans 14:23, NIV)
It's an interesting subject as a person of faith in a higher power In the past I have struggled with my ''fleshly desires'' commonly thought of as bad but at the same time God given, I have settled somewhat in if it makes me feel good and doesn't directly hurt others how can it be bad in God's eyes if it isn't in my own human eye's.

[Jjpayne]

Sex is not a sin, depending on how and who you do it with. Sex is a gift from God believe it or not. The reason it feels so good is because it is good. There is a reason for it. However, like all things, there are certain healthy ways to do it vs. Unhealthy ways. I'm sure that unexpected pregnancies and STDs would happen less if sex happened less frequently and only with people we have been with for a while and we wanted to be with vs a one night stand lifestyle for example.

[BCRanger10]

Sex outside of marriage is a sin.

St. Matthew reports Jesus saying "... in the Resurrection, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but will be as the angels in Heaven" (Matthew 22:30). With that being the case, one would have to wonder why, if someone is eternally basking in the glory of God, they would even be thinking about sex.

[RJJ33666]

I think that sex is not a sin, it is considered a sin only if you have sex outside your marital life. It is possible that sex exists in heaven or maybe we just ascend into higher beings beyond such earthly desires. But we can't be sure, i mean humans procreate pretty much every where.

[Branden315]

Heaven is described in many ways, the crystal sea, the cubic city, cherifim and serifim, contains both the tree of life and the tree of knowlage, seven gates, .. But after using an entire book to attempt to explain what he saw... He admited that you will not understand untill your there

[SuccessfulHornDog]

Sex isn't a sin. Religions just have rules around it so people dont act stupid and have babies indiscriminately and so disease doesn't spread and kill everyone in the village.
You won't have a body in heaven so sex won't really be an option. The good news is without your body you won't have any urges either

I am an atheist but I answered your question with my knowledge of religion from my upbringing

[laurieluvsit]

You really bursted my bubble though :(

[SuccessfulHornDog]

@laurieluvsit I'm sorry about that

[R3DthatDude]

God created sex, it’s not a sin. Is there sex in heaven? You’d have to read the Bible on that one, I’m guessing it’s not needed. God tends to like to do the opposite of what the world does for example we value gold however in heaven the roads are made of gold which means it’s not that valuable. From that mindset sex is probably treated the same

[IronmanT]

WE ARE HARDWIRED WITH DESIRE, ATTRACTION, AND THE BODY DESIGN TO BE SEXUALLY ACTIVE. IF ITS SUCH A SIN... Y THE HELL ARE WE MADE TO DESIRE AND GAIN HEALTH BENAFITS FROM SEX.. A CAR IS DESIGNED TO BE DRIVEN, LIGHTS TO GIVE LIGHT.. WE ARE BUILT TO SURVIVE REPRODUCE AND LOVE... SO NO.. NO SIN JUST CUZ SOME EXTREMEST PRIEST DESIDED TO GET STUPID WITH RELIGION

[TonyT1986]

When sex makes you crave someone more than craving God, it’s a sin

[Branden315]

Sex is not a sin, when done within certain boundrys. Eating is not a sin, so long as it does not turn to glutny. Following the government's laws is not a sin, so long as you follow the higher power first

[IronmanT]

Both... TRUE STATEMENTS...

[Lliam]

I don't entertain the existence of gods. Who knows if there is an afterlife?
So I reject the idea that sex is a sin. Sex is natural and the fact that it is enjoyable makes it desirable.
The only thing I think is wrong is harm to others.

[888theGreat]

There is no sex in heaven , or drugs, or alcohol, no women's rights, no black lives matter, sorry but all that is what will force God to end things here.

IN hell , there will be no sex, alcohol, drugs either. And some of you people are going to wish there was drugs.

[TheSimonymous]

Sex itself is not a sin. The first commandment of God was that the humans should be "fruitful and multiply".

There won't be any sex in heaven because man will be like the angels.

[laurieluvsit]

But angels many times took on human form.

[TheSimonymous]

@laurieluvsit That is true, but they did this here on earth and not in heaven. This still happens until today by the way. This is how gigantic humans have been born such as Og of Bashan or Goliath.

[laurieluvsit]

... Oh

[TheSimonymous]

@laurieluvsit Yes. Nowadays this is called "being captured by aliens". According to the site alienresistance. org, the most effective way to get out of that is by proclaiming the name "Jesus Christ".

[dmgstarfleet]

Heaven doesn't exist except in the fevered imaginations of those who believe in fairy tales. Grow up. When you die its all over. Lights out. Nonexistance.

[Trooper205]

Well, Sex won't be required in Heaven.
It's also mentioned that nobody will be given in Marriage to another in Heaven.
Sex is a Gift from God to us as Earthly people.
Sex is only a Sin when it's outside the parameters of His plan.

[QooLipBite]

Sex does not exist in heaven. Sex is a primal (animalistic) behavior, I would assume that angelic/spiritual beings don't feel the need to engage in that kind of behaviour.

[Savage_Wisdom]

Sex outside of marriage is a sin.

As to whether or not it exists in Heaven, we know angels have genders, the existence of the Nefilim (halfbreed children of humans and angels) is proof of that.

[Ianto]

The only reasonable definition of sin is harming others unnecessarily. In that light, sex is not a sin.
Were there a heaven, for humans it would need to fulfil human desires and drives, so sex would be a big part of it.

[DanaeAdam5]

If it doesn't exist in heaven then I really hope that I will be sent to hell

Also to answer the question:

No sex isn't a sin

[Branden315]

You would want to get thrown into the fiery pit, the place of weeping and nashing of teeth, a prison of hopelessness... Just to avoid a heaven without sex... Let me ask you this, would you rather get a lifetime of sever incurable depression, or simpily try to appreciate the beauty of the world... But without having sex

[DanaeAdam5]

I would also get a lifetime of sever incurable depression if I was sent to heaven and discovered that I can't have sex

[Branden315]

😐😐😐

[WadeDanielSmith2]

Sex is not a sin. Adultery and fornication are sins.

[WadeDanielSmith2]

By the way, I think sex does exist in Heaven and in other aspects of Afterlife, because it would make no sense for God to reincarnate us in an asexual condition. If an asexual condition were somehow morally superior, why would God have created us in a sexual condition to begin with?

Anyway, sex is not a sin in and of itself. Sex is supposed to be an expression of love between a married man and his wife, and also for reproduction obviously, so sex in and of itself cannot b ea sin. Fornication and adultery are sins... especially since in the case of adultery you are violating and Oath you took before God to your spouse. Marriage is a blood covenant, and so any violation of a covenant is a sin.

If you make a treaty with another nation, and your nation violates the treaty before the other nation violates it, you have broken a blood covenant, and God will not hold you blameless. If you commit adultery, God will not hold you blameless.

However, "Open Marriages" and "Polygamy" are not adultery. If your spouse gives you permission to have sex with another person, or permission to marry another spouse, that isn't adultery.

[WadeDanielSmith2]

by the way, I know "Female Divinities" exist, because I've actually seen two of them before in Divine Dreams, one of which was associated with a Divine Prophecy which came to pass on the next day, so I don't know whether "Angels" actually exist, but some sort of "female spirit" associated with Divine Prophecy does exist, and that day I actually saw a winged female angel flying through heaven and shouting out loud a phrase that came to pass on the next day at church, and it was impossible to be a coincidence, because the exact phrase was written on a piece of paper one of my best friends had in her possession. that's divine prophecy.

[wankiam]

if it was a sin only virgins would exist in whatever version of heaven you envisage and there would not be many humans on earth

[the_bruh]

Sex is not a sin, and I thought sex was just a method of reproduction. Why would you need to reproduce in heaven.

[WowwGirl]

🙂🙂🙂

[pigoat]

The fact that more men are answering this question makes me less interested to give an answer

[laurieluvsit]

You must have missed my recent post :) ...

Why do THE VAST MAJORITY of opinions and conversations come from guys and not girls on GAG? ↗

[Desconhecida]

I noticed that too, but I thought it was only my posts LOL

[laurieluvsit]

@Desconhecida
That's ok, if they are getting lots of reply's by anyone, that means they are very interesting posts as yours are!

[Desconhecida]

@laurieluvsit my posts lack of female opinions! Where are the ladies? LOL

[laurieluvsit]

@Desconhecida
I think there just aren't as many female members of GAG as there are male members is all

[_SOARER]

Sex is not a sin
Sex out of wedlock is

It probably doesn't exist in heaven
People really think that sex is the most important part of life nowadays 😂

[Liam_Hayden]

The problem is the temporal, earthly idea that sex is the pinnacle. The truth is that the highest pleasure of Earth is far less than the least pleasure of Heaven.

[leonidas69]

There is no such thing as a heaven without good pussy so. . . 😂

[DavidDong]

I'm sure it does but as they say creating a heaven on earth leads to hell.
Such pleasures are not to be lived for

[coffeewithcream]

There is no sex in heaven.
That will take a few more explanations that G@G is ready for. As long as sex is your idea of heaven, you're stuck on earth.

[Crashpunk0119]

Sex isn’t a sin as long as it follows three rules: bringing the unity of the spouses together, bringing pleasure to both spouses, and resulting in conception. Missing a single one out of the three results in sin.

[DavidHart]

Assuming there's heaven and i do believe there is.
Sex do exist in heaven AFAIK.

[Cryptic-Game]

leewoof.org/2018/02/27/is-there-sex-in-heaven/

Seems to suggest we will have sex in Heaven since God created us as sexual beings.

[DavidHart]

Yep, of course, @Cryptic-Game
we will definitely.

[loveslongnails]

If you're supposedly "in the spirit form" in Heaven, I'd seriously doubt that sex, as we know it, exists.

[ask4any]

I love laurie. She comes up with the best questions doesn't she? Smart af, wise, a great conversationalist and very uh, adventerous!!

[not329446]

It's never been a sin for me. Never been to heaven. Don't think you'll find anyone who has been there.

[sri90]

Sex is not a sin rather it's a pleasure and i have no idea whether it exists in heaven since I'm still living on earth lol

[stuntbrain]

An afterlife without it doesn't sound very heavenly. If there's no sex in heaven, I don't wanna go

[RingOfFire]

Stop trying to take the sin out of sex! You tryin' to ruin it?

[magiusX26]

i know the answer to this but am not at liberty to say

[chriscdi]

lust is a sin and sex could be lust depending on the situation

[JimboGB]

There is only pleasure in heaven. Forever lasting bliss, if that is eating chocolate or having sex.

[JimboGB]

And sex isn't a sin.

[OddBeMe]

Bible claims its sins of the flesh, yet it’s required to reproduce. So another bible contradiction. Shows it’s not real.

[Branden315]

Eeehh no. Sex in and of itself is not a sin, it is an action created for a purpose. To seed new life, and to bring a wedded couple together... When simpily used to satisfy the flesh, that is when it's a sin

[OddBeMe]

@Branden315 Says your subjective view of a 2000 yr old book.

[Branden315]

*rolls eyes*

[Branden315]

Says every single serman I've ever went to

[Branden315]

Says personal resurch (I know I misspelled that, to tired to care) as well as research of many others

[OddBeMe]

@Branden315 So again, you’re subjective experiences...

[SilverRain92]

Assuming that only soul goes there I guess that it's not possible to do it in Heaven. But I am sure there are a lot of other things to do :)

[colin77]

Sex in not a sin... because part of existence is to procreate... sin is sexing with more than one person

[_乃尺OЩ刀_TITI]

I've been to heaven before, lots sexy time going on there.

[HaveNoName]

The way I see it, these worldly desires will not exist in heaven... if we make it there, that is.

[LogicBomber]

Sex is a natural animal act.
Heaven does not exist.

[karangill]

Heaven and hell is here, within the concept of life. And yes, sex exists in real life.

[Jerre]

I think it does exist in Heaven and your orgasms are much more intense and last much longer.

[najekim]

Any and all sex with consenting adults is never wrong.

[Guardian45]

Heaven doesn't exist. Why would sex ever be a "sin"?

[mrkdvsn]

Sex within a marriage of One-Man-One-Woman is not a sin... and I HOPE sex exists in Heaven.

[GreenGold1992]

Sex itself is not a sin, but who you do it with and why could constitute as sinful

[Gramkabir]

I would believe it's not a sin as long as it's happening with good intention like love...

[mrgspoter]

All depends on the idea of heaven, if as human form awareness then yes. Most definitely will I think

[Quackthulu]

If it doesn’t exist there Heaven isn’t worth it.

[KimmyWhimmy]

There is more to bring happiness And pleasure than sex

[Quackthulu]

@KimmyWhimmy sure, but if heaven is supposed to be the ultimate, ideal place it should have all the best things in life. Right?

[KimmyWhimmy]

It will probably have unearthly things that are even better

[Quackthulu]

@KimmyWhimmy then it’s doing it wrong.

[Cryptic-Game]

I'm not sure if there is sex in Heaven or not but there is no sex in Hell.
