Here is the word ******* - The forum software will not allow that word so I had to type b-a-s-t-a-r-d to make my point.
I wish the forum software would not allow rudeness, inappropriate jokes, wolves in sheep's clothing, etc. ???

Should we ever equate sex with love or marriage? What is sex? Is it desire, a hunger of some sort? By itself, it is not a display of love and obviously can't make love grow. Why else do some men seek out prostitutes? It's not for a commitment, ha! (And you can be sure the prostitutes don't love their jons, far from it.)
Heck, animals, birds, and bugs have sex all the time. Are they married? Some species in the lower kingdoms might appear to "play house." he he
Besides, people and animals can and do lose their appetite for sex every day across the globe, because I believe that that's all sex really amounts to ... an appetite, a desire, a hunger. It definitely doesn't fit the category of a contract. It's hardly a handshake!
Obviously, some people don't have an appetite for it . . . to begin with. If'n ya knowin' what I'm meanin' ? ;D ;)
(I'm glad you found my comments helpful, guys! :) )

Gina, if you had read through all of what I was saying, you'd see I never spoke about sex within the marriage relationship...I didn't feel I needed to, as Paul had already covered that in his epistles. Also, you'd have seen what actually began this discussion in the first place was another member here adamantly insisting that we "may still have sex in the Kingdom"... (even if it was "outside of marriage"). Something that was roundly refuted by all, myself included (ultimately).
Once married, sex is optional should both sides agree. I think that's the crux of Paul's commands to married folk, anyway. Indeed, not all have the appetite. I don't think any of us will in the next Age. That's fine with me.. ;)

How could a marriage (a covenant) be UNcovenanted?
Your circuitry is clearly wired wrong. A sexual act with a prostitute does not a marriage/covenant make. It is adultery. Plain and simple. That's what God and Paul and Jesus called adultery.
God said to COME OUT OF HER! God did not say, DIVORCE HER!
Why? Because they are NOT married!

You're right, there will not be sex in that age and resurrection of the ELECT:
Luke 20:35-36
but THOSE WHO ARE CONSIDERED W-O-R-T-H-Y to attain to THAT AGE and to THE resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, for they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God [not b-a-s-t-a-r-d-s, they didn't climb up some other way, they have their "wedding garments," they are NOT like the foolish virgins who took their lamps and no oil with them], being sons of THE resurrection.
As for the resurrection of the others, who knows? I don't! I could care less! The elect have their minds on the things of the spirit. But, those who have their minds on the flesh, seek after those things pertaining to the flesh. Is that clear enough?
