Have any of you mentioned James 2:24, which specifically denies Martin Luther's justification by Faith Alone? Martin Luther questioned the canonicity of James, Revelation, and two other books because he deemed them to contradict his doctrine of faith alone. Therefore Luther's canon would have...

What do you think of “Christian Beliefs” that the Bible Doesn’t Teach An article specifically about the Trinity is found at What is the Biblical basis for disbelief in the doctrine of the Trinity?, also see Is the Doctrine of the Trinity Polytheistic?. Proceed to that site with great caution...

Does God really think it's best for people to not have eternal companions? If it's not good for man to be alone in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:18), it's not good for man to be alone in Heaven, or rather the Resurrection Life, either. No marriage or romance in heaven would mean that God is...

I don't see how God makes romantic relationships with women redundant.

God does not replace a woman. Why did Adam need to be completed by a woman? Why didn't God just complete him? You didn't answer that. If only the fall of sin had not occurred, romantic relationships with the opposite gender may be eternal. Then we wouldn't be filled merely by God.

But God is not female. Only a female can complete a man. Only a male can complete a woman. Why didn't God complete Adam then? What would have happened if the fall of sin did not occur? In Heaven, will we get to see that "what if" worlds? Will we get to travel to the "would have been" or "could...

Is sex vs. Heaven like Barker Lever vs. Willis floating lever or Fisk servopneumatic lever? You probably don't know about pipe organs, let alone tracker. Qualitatively different? I'd say Barker, Fisk, and Willis are more quantitatively different, while electropneumatic vs. tracker action are...

I understand the thing about chemical reactions in the human brain and nerves. It wouldn't have to be that way. Why not continue with physical acts? Couldn't guys kiss girls and vice versa just for pleasure? It wouldn't have to be to prepare or sexual intercourse. Couldn't guys have special...

Well... Saying that God's presence means that marriage and sex is unnecessary is like saying that it means food and drink or... trees, rivers, animals, plants, possessions, and friends is unnecessary. Why can't the physical pleasure of sex last?

What about chase sexual love as Swedenborg or Chadwick puts it?

Nah! That wouldn't help. That would be a fake. He could give them a new past though, like to relive an Earthly life. Intermediate compensation time. Rearrange the past. Redo their Earthly life. Revamp or whatever. Rearrange the family tree, because the family tree that exists has been faulted by...

Why won't there be sexual attraction. Could there be a new type of attraction? Couldn't guys kiss girls and vice versa just for pleasure? It wouldn't have to be to prepare for sex. Couldn't guys have special relationships with girls? It wouldn't have to be marriage. It could be... I don't know...

What YouTube video was that?

I would choose a lifeboat over a sinking ship. Heaven is a lifeboat, hell is a sinking ship. How could anyone choose a sinking ship over a lifeboat? Couldn't guys kiss girls and vice versa just for pleasure? It wouldn't have to be to prepare for sex. Couldn't guys have special relationships with...

Something tells me it refers to the resurrection life, not a particular resurrection event. See Matthew 22:30 - Verse-by-Verse Bible Commentary - StudyLight.org

You didn't answer the last question. Will sexual activity and romantic relationships really be redundant in heaven? The blog post My thoughts about sexuality and marriage in heaven even mentions intermediate compensation time among many things. To avoid spamming, I won't link that again on this...

Or what if there's a fifth type of love? Aren't eros and agape complementary to each other? Couldn't there be agaperos or erotagape in heaven? Not to mention philostorge. So there could be two loves rather than four, due to mergers. Romantic, familial, and friendship are three types of...

Sex vs. heaven is not like transistors vs. vacuum tubes, is it? Or relays and switches?

Do you think that we will view guys/girls as gross? I don't believe that. It's immature. Prepubescent children think relations with the opposite gender is gross. That's when they are not mature. When they are more mature, they learn that such relations are a great pleasure. Will sexual relations...

Yes, I forgot to mention the Bible doesn't say anything about females retaining their gender. It only mentions men like Jesus, Elijah, and Moses retaining their gender. I thought of that before I saw your reply.
