OK for the last time is it Nauster or Knoester?

I could listen to this on repeat forever. Perfect harmonization.

Yes read the books, they give some needed depth to the movies. I think, comparing dune to L. OTR is a good comparison but a difficult one.

Good Morning, Frens, and Happy Sunday, my fellow Christians.🙏🏻😁

This is my firecracker article of the week.

You've probably been told there's no sex in heaven. Are you kidding me? Why in heaven's name would God eliminate the highest form of human intimacy that he has ever designed?🤔

Don't forget to comment below, *after* you've read the article. You might also enjoy the rest of the series.😄

I do appreciate this "different take" on sex in heaven. I have always thought that we oversimplify Jesus remarks on no marriage or giving of marriage. In context he was addressing a hypothetical question about a woman who had multiple husbands that died before she did. I agree that we will have even deeper relationships with our spouse(s) in the kingdom of heaven than we have in this world. However, I think you seem to almost present heaven as one giant orgy? I know that is not your real purpose, but it could be read that way, and I think that is missing the mark, figuratively and literally. I think the idea is that we will be the bride of Christ. Yes we will have unimaginable intimacy with God and each other, but it cannot be reduced to even remotely like the romantic act of sexual intercourse, as beautiful and good as that is in the bond of mortal marriage. Will there be procreation in heaven or in our redeemed state? That is I think an interesting question that is hard to answer with scripture. I like what C.S. Lewis said on the topic:

"The letter and spirit of scripture, and of all Christianity, forbid us to suppose that life in the New Creation will be a sexual life; and this reduces our imagination to the withering alternatives either of bodies which are hardly recognizable as human bodies at all or else of a perpetual fast. As regards to 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 [the] absence of chocolates as the chief characteristic of sexuality. In vain would you tell him that the reason why lovers in their 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.”
