Matthew 22....(NKJV)
23 The same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him,
24 saying: “Teacher, Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother.
25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died after he had married, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother.
26 Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh.
27 Last of all the woman died also.
28 Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her.”
29 Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.


There is no marriage or creating children in heaven.

Oh, there will be ice cream. After all, we'll be in paradise, basking in love of our Lord God, and showering Him with our love!

Dead on!
 
Hmmm... in Revelation, and elsewhere, Jesus says he is the "bridegroom" and the church is his bride and then he says he is going to make her totally pure. So, Jesus marries the whole church .... all of those people....

So:
If any other man besides Jesus had sexual relations in heaven with a woman of the church, that would be adultery.
But -- If Jesus did it with many 'wives', it would be polygamy and well, something unspeakable....
So, it's really not surprising that the said 'marriage' is a nonsexual one, avoiding all those gametes...

Pass the ice cream.

Oh, I can't take credit for dreaming anything up.
There is at least one religion (not mine) which interprets the bible as if Jesus were preaching polygamy; at least they *used* to do so...
:shame

If I recall correctly, they avoid the thrust of the logic of Matthew 22:30 by saying that only one of the many earthly wives may be "sealed for eternity", or something like that, and *remain* their wife after death so as to not be "given" in marriage again...
It's something that never made much sense to me.

But the OP did say to "touch all the points i might not have cover :)"

And since sex is related to marriage, as is pagan worship which is called "adultery" all over in the OT, all of this makes the fact that there is a wedding feast spoken of in Heaven, but only "for the Lamb" of God one of the points that needs checked/studied to satisfy the OP's request: cf: Revelation 19:7-10

Do you think that Revelation, itself, is a dream and not a vision of Heaven?
I'm thinking, even in the OT, Prophetically, the builder(s) of Jerusalem "marries" her: cf: Isaiah 62:5 etc. so that if we are living stones, being built into a new Jerusalem; there must in fact be some kind of wedding / city is opening feast....

I find the Revelation of the Christ to be a great commentary on the prophecy found in the latter portions of the Book of Daniel.

Oh.
I generally associate Revelation/Apocalypse with the book of Ezekiel. It uses the same imagery, and talks about the same subjects in nearly the same order. I used to think that John copied it, or perhaps used Ezekiel as some kind of template for his own writing.

I mean, Ezekiel 1:1 "on the ... day ... when the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God" vs. Revelation 1:9-14 "on the Lord's Day, I was in the Spirit... see ... one like unto the Son ..."

Both of them start out with rebukes to the religious structures of their day, eg: temple vs. Churches; etc.
And even with respect to the marriage and/or feast I brought up, read Ezekiel chapter 16 where the same topic is mentioned, eg: the "wife" of God...

Ezekiel 16:8 "I sware unto thee, ... and thou becamest mine." vs. Revelation 19:7 "for ... marriage ... is come"
Ezekiel 16:10 "fine linen thy attire" vs. Revelation 19:8 "arrayed in fine linen",

However, Ezekiel emphasizes that God clothes the wife -- whereas in Revelation, the wife makes herself ready ; and the results of being dressed vs. dressing/making one's self ready are apparently opposite for the marriage fails in Ezekiel, but not in Revelation:

Ezekiel 16:16 "You took some of your garments to make gaudy high places, where you carried on your prostitution."
Ezekiel 16:32-33: "But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!"

vs:
Revelation 21:1-3, Revelation 22:3-4 "No longer will there be any curse ... They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads."

But, I'm not sure I recall anything in Daniel about marriage, sex, and/or adultery off the top of my head (I haven't read the book in a while); unless it's the story of Susannah in the later portion of Daniel which is not found in any Hebrew copies of the book we have today, but that's a scholarly issue as to whether or not the text was removed from the Hebrew or not, and going into the dead sea scrolls just to find out that nothing can be proven either way is a bit beyond the scope of the thread... so, I know about the story, as it is available in Greek copies of the bible, but I don't think Revelation says much about it...

So, I'm curious.... What light/commentary does Daniel or Revelation on Daniel throw on there being sex in heaven or not ?? :)
