Dear Jeff,
I have been an Seventh-day Adventist for 43 years and for as along as I can remember, I have always heard that there would be no sex in heaven and that we would be “as the angels”. But, in Samuel Bacchiocchi’s, End time Issues, #9, February 25, 1999, he says that things will be just the same as they are here on earth, as far as sex goes!
I really feel that he is not right but I would like to know what you think about this. I have found you to be a real straight shooter as long as we have been studying with your material and we respect your opinion. Thanks for all you and your wife do for spreading The Word of The Lord. Keep looking up, The Lord is coming soon. Thanks, V and BS.
Response
“There are men today who express their belief that there will be marriages and births in the new earth, but those who believe the Scriptures cannot accept such doctrines. The doctrine that children will be born in the new earth is not a part of the ‘sure word of prophecy.’ The words of Christ are too plain to be misunderstood. They should forever settle the question of marriages and births in the new earth. Neither those who shall be raised from the dead, nor those who shall be translated without seeing death, will marry or be given in marriage. They will be as the angels of God, members of the royal family.
“I would say to those who hold views contrary to this plain declaration of Christ: Upon such matters silence is eloquence. It is presumption to indulge in suppositions and theories regarding matters that God has not made known to us in His word. We need not enter into speculation regarding our future state.
“To my ministering brethren I would say, ‘Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season.’ Do not bring to the foundation wood, and hay, and stubble–your own surmisings and speculations, which can benefit no one.” Medical Ministry, 99–100.
