Happy Sunday to all, and especially to all my Brothers and Sisters in our Lord and King Jesus, who is our elder brother.
Today's (probably very controversial) "Sunday Topic:"
Will we enjoy ***sexual relations*** in the New Heavens and New Earth?🤔🧐❔❓
I have for quite some time been persuaded that the answer is, emphatically, ***"Yes!"***
Espousing this position had me in deep trouble with at least one church where I formerly was a member...😜 Perhaps some of you reading this now are ready to click "BACK," or perhaps even block me... So I'll ask you bear with me and to exercise Christian grace and patience for at least a few minutes longer?🙏😄
"How can these things be?", you may ask, in light of Jesus' insistence that there is "Neither marrying nor giving in marriage" in the resurrection?🤔
Please know that holding this view does not imply in any way that I endorse sexual promiscuity in the present age. I believe that God's demand for faithfulness in our present marriages can be theologically categorized as a "ceremonial law;" a practice that applies now, but will no longer be necessary in the Glory.
I explain these views both incidentally and at considerable length in my writings (in the genre of theological fantasy--see below.) I've intended for some time to write a more scholarly examination of the topic... However, I recently discovered a book that may have now relieved me of that necessity, although I won't know until I read it in its entirety...
Here's a link to the book; let me know if you read it and how you respond to what it has to say?🤔 I'll follow up later after I've read it completely myself.

And here, for your reading enjoyment, are a couple of my own fictional stabs at the topic:
First, my most complete treatment of the subject:

And also a short glimpse in the genre of science fiction:

GM!😄
I'm at Volvo of Escondido this morning.
While I wait for them to diagnose my car and tell me how long repairs may take, they've given me a quiet office to work in.
THAT'S how you treat customers.🔥❤️🔥💯
