Good morning Pastor John,<\/span><\/p>\n

I am up reading in\u00a0God\u00a0Had a Son Before Mary Did<\/em>\u00a09 (Going to Jesus.com – God Had A Son Before Mary Did<\/a><\/span>) about the different kinds of life, and something you wrote stopped me.\u00a0\u00a0When you explained why the earth became so wicked after the flood \u2014 that angels lusted after the beautiful women on earth and abandoned the heavenly bodies\u00a0with which\u00a0they were created \u2014 it made me think about Matthew 22.\u00a0\u00a0I\u2019ve always thought that when we reach our eternal home, we will not be male or female.\u00a0\u00a0But Matthew 22 doesn\u2019t actually say that.\u00a0\u00a0It only says that in the resurrection there will be no marriage, and that they are like the angels of God. That made me slow down and really read Galatians 3,\u00a0but that is about\u00a0us all\u00a0being one in Christ.\u00a0\u00a0It is striking that angels wanted to mate with women when that was not part of their created kind of life.\u00a0\u00a0My question is this: Does the Bible say anywhere else that we will not be male or female in heaven?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Matthew 22<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Then Jesus answered and said to them, \u201cY<\/em>ou are deceived, knowing neither the scriptures nor the power of God.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. In the resurrection, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are like the angels of God in heaven.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Galatians 3<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. There is neither Jew nor Greek, neither slave nor freeman, nor male and female, for\u00a0y<\/em>ou are all one in Christ Jesus.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Beth<\/span><\/p>\n

      ==========<\/span><\/p>\n

      Jesus is the one who revealed that there will be no marriages in the life to come.\u00a0 I assume that means that the glorified bodies God’s saints will receive after the resurrection will be neither male nor female.\u00a0 Spiritually, it is true now that in Christ, there is neither male nor female, as Paul said, but life in the Spirit now is a foretaste, or “earnest”, of what the next life will be like.\u00a0 Paul taught that, too (2Cor, 1:22; 5:5).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
