Dear Job, You don't have to be UGCC to know the Russkies are wrong . . . and that quite deliberately . . .  But enough of that, I was once accused by the Administrator of being anti-Russian . . . He said that as if that was a bad thing . . .  Just so you know, when I gave a talk to a group of UGCC priests, I told them about my anti-Russian bias but before I could repent of it, they gave me a standing ovation . . . With apologies to our beloved Administrator! Alex LOL you are right on spot on THIS

he actually told - we will be like angels - who do not have masculine-feminine characteristics. They don't? How do you know this?

That is your choice. I will side with Jesus Christ and my catechists which taught me differently. And physiologically I can't see any other reason of masculine or feminine characteristics to be kept if their main reason - procreation is not needed anymore That's fine. We'll agree to disagree. God bless.

Well, today we glorified the Most Holy Theotokos, taken body and soul into Heaven.
Her gender is quite clearly affirmed in all the liturgical services. Remember, she is in Heaven with BOTH her body and her soul.
So that PROVES that gender does persist even in heaven.
What our Lord said cannot be used on behalf of your argument.
As for your catechists . . . they are not infallible and my catechists would often give opinions on things that were even at variance with church teaching - as I later found out.

Plants and nouns have gender. Human beings and other mammals have sex.

Wow! this is a strange topic. Was there ever a question? I have one. What is this really about? Is this really about accepting homosexuality?

Actual, the persistence of sexual differentiation in the Resurrection can be used as proof that the Eastern theology of marriage is correct, and that the sacramental bond of marriage perdures beyond death, for we shall remain male and female after we are raised up and reborn in glorified (but material) bodies. Sex, however, shall transcend mere carnality.

It's actually my fault. If you go to page 5 of this thread you'll see where it starts getting bizarre. And now it's all just become silly. Arguing for the sake of winning the argument. When it gets to that point I usually realize the real reason I'm still participating is pride and wanting to prove I'm right. This is the perpetual temptation of discussion forums.

You'll have to ask Voxy and his catechists!  Alex

Dear Stuart,
Yes, and it is a fact that there will be no sex in the next life - and it will still be Heaven!

Dear desertman, No problem - you and I really are right . . . Stuart has demonstrated that! I just think that this topic is somewhat, well, exciting which is why we keep on it . . . Alex
