Until it does I truly hope you will pursue an all-satisfying relationship with God.
Then you have lost your first love. You were made for a relationship with God first and foremost.
See all those "ORs" ? Those are different possible meanings. It can mean divinely supernatural and not non-carnal, ethereal etc. There are supernatural things which are physical as opposed to ethereal. Combined with BODY, which is always physical, we have a divinely supernatural physical body which is called the spiritual body.
That’s not what the scripture says, that’s not what the Greek or the Strongs says. In reality you’re not debating me, your disagreement is with the language.
The spiritual body
spiritual.
From pneuma; non-carnal, i.e. (humanly) ethereal (as opposed to gross), or (daemoniacally) a spirit (concretely), or (divinely) supernatural, regenerate, religious -- spiritual. Compare
Carnal is flesh
Carnal- Original Word: σάρξ, σαρκός, ἡ
Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: sarx
Phonetic Spelling: (sarx)
Definition: flesh
Usage: flesh, body, human nature, materiality; kindred.
The spiritual body is non-carnal (NO- flesh)
It is not good for man to be a lone. This was GOD saying, I, GOD alone am not enough for man. Adam was a lone with GOD in the garden and it was not enough.
While we will have bodies in eternity i do not believe i have read any scriptures that state we will have blood.. So if you have the scripture that states we shall have blood in eternity please quote it to me..
That's one of multiple definitions. It does not match what scripture presents as the spirirtual body. It is as I said, matching the Strongs definitions of spiritual and body where it is a divinely supernatural physical body. .
Christ said he was flesh and bone to prove he was not a ghost. Why wouldn't that body not have blood? A glorified body would have glorified blood right? It has everything the mortal body has like flesh, bone, hair, muscles and eyes etc...why have everything but no blood? The immortal body seems to be exactly like the current one but just of immortal components.
So GOD was wrong in Genesis?
Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you.
Rejoice in the wife of your youth.
She is a loving deer, a graceful doe.
Let her breasts satisfy you always.
May you always be captivated by her love.
Proverbs 5:18
I believe JohnB is very smart…But what does scripture say?
1 Kings 8:39
Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men
Only God knows the hearts of
men…
Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it
Proverbs 28:6
He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
Do not make God a liar, for God said;
Psalms 37:4
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Johns heart desires a wife, but a certain type of wife. God knows Johns heart better than John knows his own heart.
The heart has many desires.. For instance:
I desire to live, because if you are dead the desires of the heart are irrelevant.
I also desire a Lamborghini….
But what if I get that Lamborghini, I crash, and die? What happens when the desires of the heart negate other desires of the heart?

What do any of these verses have to do with having sex in heaven? There will be male and females, we will eat and drink, we will work, we will have homes. Why not sex?
“The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection. Luke 20:35
Marriage is only for this age.
