Truth Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 After reading the blessings of exaltation thread, it seems manys EVs and some Mormons seem to have a real problem with the idea of sex in heaven. Why? God gave us something so beautiful, why wouldn't you want that in heaven between spouses? It seems natural and appropriate if there is to be eternal marriage. Besides, the best thing about kids is making them!So, why the angst?

Besides, the best thing about kids is making them!So, why the angst?I predict this thread won't last very long. Just because of the way you titled it.I always liked this Psalm...Psalm 127Children are a heritage from the Lord.A Song of degrees for Solomon. 1 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be shamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.I think the angst comes from what is in the critics mind when they take that which is sacred and turn it into a mockery.
TAO Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 The Angst is because it is often used in a disrespectful manner. And also, it is something we do not fully comprehend, and as of such, it is good to be wary when discussing it.

selek Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 The topic and subject is disrespectful (IMO) and deliberately provocative.From the board guidelines:* Anything that resembles what you would find in The National Enquirer or other tabloids. This sort of topic is highly speculative at best, and such speculation almost inevitably turns either peurile or prurient.* Sexually themed threads. These tend to become distasteful and we have some younger participants. Discussing sexual behavior of LDS leaders, past or present, will not be allowed.

Why? God gave us something so beautiful, why wouldn't you want that in heaven between spouses?I won't comment on the issue, but we know that God sees procreation as a very good thing.27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.the best thing about kids is making them!I dispute this. There is little reason to deny the intercourse is good, children are, in themselves, wonderful.Lehi
