There is not any sex in Heaven.

Guys there is not any sex in Heaven, but there is in Paradise. If Purgatory and Paradise are the same thing, then why would one want to be prayed out of Purgatory?

And the problem with this world is sex. If everybody in "this" world became celibate, then "this" world would not have any problems. And Satan would be the king of nothing.

open for discussion...

Nor would we have a next generation.

On sex in heaven. Very good.

Phil that "was" very good! So what about this, "Until one is as a child they shall not see the Kingdom of Heaven."? I think that He was referring to young people that were prepubescent. Maybe no sex in heaven?

Glad you liked it, Tuck. I've enjoyed reading Kreeft, and his remarks at the end of the article on sex in heaven are a real turn-on!

I've understood "becoming as a little child" to refer to how unassuming children are, and how open to the moment in wonder. They're also quick to forgive and open to love and loving. So we're called to be child-like in this sense, but not child-ish.

In Jung's psychology, the child is a symbol of the deep inner self, so it could be that Jesus is also referring to this aspect as well.

The deep inner self can be all messed up by what one experiences in childhood. But I do not disagree with what you are saying. In a normal reality childhood is considered a happy time in one's life experience. And children can be fun if they ever make it through the terrible twos which some adults still haven't done yet .

One thing that I found interesting is that Kreeft made Heaven sound a lot like Tantric Yoga. And there is a reality where the male and female are in a "perfect love embrace" and are at one; and achieving this reality is considered by some to be necessary for achieving spiritual advancement (at least achieving this within one's own brain ). But I am not sure that that would be considered sex.
