Will women be turned to males in heaven? I have my opinion on this, but I'll tell it later.

Matt. 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Since you won't get laid ever again for all eternity, I guess the issue is moot.
Hey Einstein, did you read Jesus in Matthew, when he replied to the Saducees that, in Heaven, nobody would marry and that we'd be like angels(androgynous I guess)?, Here you have your answers. Although I think you already knew it, just that you and your bunch of fundies never miss a chance to be sexist and chauvinist on purpose.
Yes, I think that Christian theology teaches that heaven is not so much sexless as there will be things so much better as to render the question moot. If you're a 8 year old kid and the best thing you can think of is ice cream and you ask, do people eat that during sex? Well, it's not that they CAN'T, it's just they have much better things to think about (like squeezing something into / out of Kent Hovind, for instance). Sex is not the absence of ice cream, and heaven is not the absence of sex.
But the fundie version of heaven seems a lot closer to life on earth, except with a bigger car, and more effective gossip networks. The ones that go knocking door to door, mostly JWs, often believe they will wind up living in the houses of people who refuse their message, in the afterlife (seriously!).
I'm guessing your opinion is that they will, since you wouldn't mention it otherwise. but if that happens, wont anyone married have to turn gay in order to continue loving his wife? Kind of fucks with your philosophy a bit, doesn't it?
well a straightforward reading of"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." (galatians 3:28) would mean that we would all be either hermaphrodites or completely sexless, though I'm inclined to think it means that it doesn't really matter.
The question isn't fundie at all -- it is BAITING fundies, perhaps, or suggesting an idea that a lot of people here have responded to, but it isn't actually making a statement at all. In fact, he explicitly states that he is NOT giving his opinion on this topic here, so I think that this quote really shouldn't have been approved, or even submitted.
The followup, now, THAT might have something we can work with, depending on what he says then. But this is nothing, really.

Hey, you guys might want to read the thread. JMorrow says later in the thread:
"I don't find it anywhere in the Bible either. I think all the verses they use to justify it are taken completely out of context. I was talking with a guy about it. That's why I asked the question."
He doesn't believe it either. ;p
Eh. That'd be nice, but I think we're just destroyed when we die. Women don't have souls.
When you think about it, we're just like animals. Our gender's entire purpose is earthly. And seriously, Eve was born from a man's used rib.
We're needed on Earth but not beyond. Our purpose is to serve men on earth, and have their children. Once men are reunited with God they won't need us anymore.
Why should we be kept beyond our usefulness? We are inferior in all ways, we're hardly worthy of souls.
There's a plus side not not having a soul though. While we can never go to heaven, neither can we go to hell. So unlike men we can do whatever we want without having to worry about eternal punishment. Be it satisfying our men or murdering them, raising our children or raping them, be we good or evil nonexistence is all we get. So we don't HAVE to fulfill our purpose. It's the only life we have, might as well do whatever fulfills us.
(I'm told I have sociopathic tendencies, so if I were a man I'd almost definitely go to hell.)
So yeah, all the men saying they'd rather go to hell if Heaven is a sausage fest? Hell is a sausage fest too. :] At least you get an afterlife at all.
Not exactly fundie, mostly stupid, I think. BTW, if women will be wearing pants in hell, what do the guys wear? Kilts? Flowing ballgowns?
Repressed homosexuality much?
Jeez, y'know, Christian gays do exist.

Gay orgies for Jesus!
Heaven will contain no one but 144,000 male Jews who are "not defiled with women".
Does that answer your incredibly stupid question?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
