![]() Psalm 16:11 says: "You (Lord) will show me the path to life, abounding joy in your presence, the delights at your right hand forever." ![]() I believe that there will be infinitely more gratifying delights in store for us - beyond our present imagination and based on our union with the divine. In the verse in question, Christ replied, "At the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like the angels in heaven." To answer your question: No, I don't think "that there will be sexual intercourse in heaven in a physical, sensual and pleasurable way, as we understand it here on earth." There, the Sadducees, trying to trap Jesus, asked him about the woman who had seven different husbands and they wondered whose wife she will be in heaven. That view is based, in large part, on the words of Jesus in such verses as Matthew 22:30. You are correct that, in the view of most theologians, there will be no genital intercourse in heaven. If God's love redeems all things, then shouldn't it redeem sexual life? Do you personally believe that there will be sexual intercourse in heaven in a physical, sensual and pleasurable way, as we understand it here on earth? (Houston)Ī. It seems odd that genital intercourse is automatically excluded in theological views of heaven - since Christian hope envisions the fulfillment of all things and, therefore, the redemption of our bodies. I know that you are sorry for your sin all you need now is to go to the Sacrament of Confession, and then you will start over with the Lord - fresh and forgiven. When God forgives, he loses his memory, he forgets our sin, he forgets. "Each time we go to confession," Pope Francis said, "we receive the love of God there, which conquers our sin. Peter's Square and pointed out that the endless mercy of God is at the heart of the Gospel. But he does not tire of pardoning us."Īnd I remember, too, in 2019 when the pope spoke to a crowd gathered for the Angelus in St. It's we who get tired of asking for forgiveness. "God always forgives us," said Pope Francis. He said that God is willing to forgive all our sins, always and without exception, and that the Lord rejoices when someone asks him for pardon. I remember back in 2015 when Pope Francis, in a homily during Mass in his chapel, spoke to your situation. How can I handle this? (City of origin withheld)Ī. This thought scares me and makes me think that I cannot be forgiven because I went against God. They say that if you die in mortal sin, then you will be lost forever. I knew that it was wrong, that it was considered a mortal sin, which would separate me from God, but I decided to do it anyway. I am a teenage girl who would like some advice. Lord Jesus, great Lamb of God, help me to trust you as my Saviour and then to look forward to my heavenly home.Q. This is a reminder that it is only because of all that Jesus has done for us on the cross that anyone can enter the heavenly glory. They all had one thing in common - they were washed clean through the blood of the Lord Jesus. These were the Christians from every age, many of whom had endured great suffering for Christ's sake. First of all there was a huge multitude of them, so many that no one could count them they were from every nation, they were gathered around the throne of Jesus Christ (the Lamb), and they were singing praise to Christ. Look how the people in heaven are described in Revelation 7: 9-17. It's a glimpse into heaven that we have here, and I hope it will help us to realise that although we may think Christians are a small minority in the world, that is not really the case at all. "Who are all these people?" This question was asked about a great crowd of people in heaven that the Apostle John saw in the great vision we now know as the book of Revelation.
