Are We Going To Be Brothers & Sisters In Heaven ? Or No

Yes you're my brother now, if you're a believer! Matthew 12:50, Mark 3:35, 2Thessalonians 3:13, 1Thessalonians 5:26, Philippians 4:21, 1Timothy 5:1, Matthew 23:8, Galatians 4:31, 1Peter 3:8, Ephesians 1:5,

After the Millennium and White Throne judgement there will be no gender.

Mar 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

"there will be no gender"

Hello, do you have any Bible verses backing up this claim or is this just an assumption?

There are many!! 1 the 1 I posted says it all:

Mar 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

We all brides of CHRIST if you want to go that far, but it is a spiritual analogy. All gender will be done away with in the Kingdom to come. There will be no giving or taking in marriage!!

I'm glad there are many, because the one you posted says nothing about gender. Marriage is not gender.

Can you please share the others that back up this claim?

Luk 20:34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

Luk 20:35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

Luk 20:36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

Scripture is clear that a marriage is instituted by a man and a woman=gender; children of GOD meaning GOD the CREATOR created us and is the FATHER of us made perfect in all ways. Only GOD can destroy our spiritual beings with a consuming fire.

Hi Dav47, thanks for sharing that, but those verses don't say anything about gender either, and not anything about being genderless in heaven. You said there's lots of them, but so far nothing you've shared say that. So, without the Bible actually saying that, I don't believe your assumption that there's no gender in heaven. God bless.

GOD wants HIS children to have a little bit of common sense; I am not saying that to talk down to anyone, it's just fact. If you want take the 2 verses as gospel for what it clearly states, than it is for certain you want see, not even important. All that overcome become brides of CHRIST! You cannot be brides if we are male and female. You can look at it in the spiritual sense and physical; Rom 11:8. Will leave it with this: All rudiments, elements that causes sin will be done away with; what has caused sin? Abominations? What defiles? Rev 21:27

What is the purpose of gender? For 2 opposing sexes to pro-create and only in this age! Once all the souls that are to be born from above, gender is no longer needed; the whole purpose of man and woman. GOD created all living souls at the same time in 1st age for HIS pleasure; ageless body's that will never get sick or die. Our spiritual bodies (Ruach) was not born but created. Angels do not have a belly buttons for that is used only for an umbilical cord. Angels and yes before we were born of woman from above we were angels also and created in our own image. GOD the FATHER created us all with perfection and beauty that surpasses male or female physical attraction's we have in the flesh. The whole purpose of female and male (organs) is pro-create, there will be no need in the kingdom to come nor was there a need in last age for we were created. Most of social society's problems have come from domestic attraction of opposite sexes. It has caused wars and grave sin. There will be none of this negativity in the kingdom to come. People shedding countless lives because of Adultery, covertness, abominations, perversions all because of gender. GOD says there will be none of this negative elements or rudiments that cause these sins. Look around today because of gender people are so confused. If you do not do away with gender and become as angels were then there would still be all these physical attraction that has caused so much sin and destruction.

Reply to Christopher Likens.

The Bible likens us to "stones" in heaven, according to 1 Peter 2:

5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

However, more seriously in direct answer to your question, I think all believers in heaven may be considered brothers and sisters without the former family distinctions they experienced on earth.

I have a Christian friend who is married to a Christian woman but my friend sometimes appears to me to be overly dominant in their marriage. I once told him that I thought he may be given rule over 5 cities in heaven for his faithfulness and his wife may be given rule over 10 cities for her faithfulness, with five of those cities being ruled over by him. He adamantly insisted that was never going to happen. I thought that was funny.

Hi Christopher.

If we're both born again by the Spirit of God, The scripture already Identify us as Brothers. And the Spirit in is will CAUSE us to love one another.

God bless.

1 JOHN 3;2

"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."
