That "brothers and sisters in Christ" thing is creepy. Just like all the nasty incestuous bible relationships. Yuck.
Unfortunately you won't be having sex in Hell. God provided sex within a marriage bond. Hell is punishment - therefore getting to have sex won't be involved in Hell's eternal torment. But make fun all you want.

If no Biblical rebutal----then I will continue to believe mucho sex going on in Heaven. Orgasms galore.

I don't know where Fundies get these very detailed ideas about things that are not described in any way in the Bible. Very vivid imaginations I guess.

And of course they are also probably following a personal disposition. I guess if you think sex is nasty personally on Earth, then no way would you want it in your own personally contrived Heaven.

To each his own. I plan to have a whole bunch of sex in Heaven.
The Bible briefly talks about Heaven, but Jesus mentions Hell more because He wants you to avoid it.

Have you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior and asked Him into your life? From your posts on this board, i doubt it - therefore you probably won't be in Heaven ( although God will make that decision).

Latter Day Saints, aka Mormons - is cultic, and are usually considered outside of Christianity - they are hardly the people to go by.

A better way would be for Jesus to convince his father to abolish hell altogether and use a different form of justice that actually fits the crime.

Lots of Xian denominations also act like cults - collection plates, rituals, etc. But I suppose they're not TRUE cults.

Sex within in a marriage isn't disgusting. Whats disgusting is wanting sex above other things in a sinless, holy paradise. I'd rather worship and love God for eternity, then have sex. You may enjoy it constantly, but thats your sinful side.

Anything but Hell wouldn't be righteous judgement, and Hell does fit the crime for disobeying and sinning against God. Just because you don't think so doesn't make it wrong. God >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> than you.

Not accepting something doesn't make it true. Apparently you know enough knowledge of the universe to determine that you have nothing to worry about. Me however, not being arrogant enough to think i know every possibility in the entire universe, don't want to take my chances. I have faith God is real, if im wrong - big deal. As if ill care in the ground.

Saying that you think it's what your god thinks it's right doesn't make it right either.

Does disbeliving in the President of the USA also warrant eternal punishment? If not, then you have double standards.

And if we're all deserving of death, why not kill everyone now and save your deity the trouble? I'm sure you'll be rewarded for that.

And if you're so concerned about the 'age of accountability', why not kill all newborns and abort all pregnant women so that the kids can go to heaven? Or would you prefer to risk them burning in hell?

Pascal's Wager, AGAIN! What if some other religion is right? You'd be a hypocrite if you didn't believe in them all to be on the safe side.

First of all, what does the president have to do with anything?

Second, God said not to murder - therefore why would I do it?Third, i don't know the fate of anyone, including children, by killing newborns, i could be preventing that person from finding the cure for cancer, or bringing 100's to Christ. Only God knows our fate, He and He alone has the right to take life, we don't.
