sex in heaven

[Guest Aluigi]

time doesn't exist the same way it does here. you're in eternity. it's incomprehensible. but all those things that give you joy in this life, that joy will be magnified a million times in the Beatific Vision.

if while in heaven you played basketball, you'd be disappointed, it'd be a lot less fun that the supernatural joys of heaven

it's beyond your wildest imaginations. you're going to be able to know everything that goes on in the entire universe, and that'll just be like your basic knowledge (like how we know 1+1=2, but there's so much more we know).... in this finite life we cannot begin to comprehend the amazing joys of heaven

Due to the recent suspension of the man to whom I was presenting my arguments, I completely withdraw my statements from and participation in this forum.

Now, I would also like to make a further point: The end goal of marriage is to icon the Most Holy Trinity, and, as we have seen, this is done through the marriage act.

[Guest JeffCR07]

Of course, I'd be happy to, and don't worry, you arnt "dumb."

We understand the Trinity to be a perfect Communion of Love. The Father infinitely loves the Son, the Son infinitely returns the love to the Father, and that Infinite Love between them [i]is[/i] the Holy Ghost.

Marriage is an icon of this, because in the marriage act (sex), the husband unconditionally loves the wife, the wife unconditionally returns the love to the husband, and the love between them begets a third person, namely, a child.

So, sex, properly understood, images the internal communion of the Most Holy Trinity.

"We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, [b][i]Who proceeds from the Father and the Son[/b][/i]..."

"Proceeds" here is a translation of the Latin [i]procedit[/i], which has the connotation of being "sent forth". This is proper to the Holy Spirit, so it would seem.

[Guest JeffCR07]

The Father is still the primary cause of the Son and the Spirit, but the Spirit is, as Pio Nono pointed out, proceed from both the Father and the Son. Now, two points. First: just because the Father is the primary cause of the Son and Spirit does not mean that He pre-dates them, all three are consubstantial and co-eternal. Second: The analogous relationship between child and spirit is that, like the Spirit, the child, in a sense, [i]is[/i] love: the embodiment of the love between husband and wife.

We can't have sex in Heaven, because we will not have bodies.

[vianney]

thats not true.

[drewmeister2]

We will have bodies? I thought Heaven was only a spiritual place, not physical?

[vianney]

I should clarify, after Christ's second coming all in heaven will have glorified bodies. No heaven is not purely spiritual we will have bodies. The saints in heaven now are not reunited with their bodies yet. I believe only Christ and Mary are. Correct me if I am wrong Pio.

You're good to go, vianney (cf. Summa Theologia, Ia).

[popestpiusx]

I think we must also account for Elijah, who was taken to heaven.

[popestpiusx]

Also, I think we must be very careful when referring to the Trinity as an icon of the Family. The distinction between the persons of the Trinity is relational. So the analogy is very very very limited. We cannot think of the Trinity as a family in so far as the desinction of the family members is of their very nature.They are separate persons in a very different way than the Three Persons of the Trinity, who all share a single nature, namely, the Divine Nature: they are all substantially one and the same God.

Short hijack:

Pio and vianney, did you both get my responses to your messages?

End Hijack.

[vianney]

No I have not as of yet.

[popestpiusx]

I can't use the PM thing on here. So I never got your message. I tried to e-mail you that to tell you, but I guess that didn't work either. You can e-mail me if you like.
