Hello!

“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.” - Mark 12:25

“For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.”
- Matthew 22:30

I’ve had a couple of friends in my life, who were male homosexualists. I’ve seen them “pay” for their errors, day by day, on earth.

But they have been kind, thoughtful people; and one of them was one of the most generous friends that I’ve ever had, at a time when I really needed a generous friend.

I’m not condemning them to ‘Hell’, simply for their sexuality. That’s not my job. It’s not your job, either.

(Also: besides there not being any sexuality in the afterlife, there aren’t any “feet”, for anything to be beneath as ‘ashes’.)

-JT

It's our job to Quote the Scriptures to them, "Watchmen on the Wall", so that they are knowledgable of their destiny .
I care not, whether they can stand the truth or not.
If THEIR BEHAVIOR … OFFENDS … THEIR SENSE OF RIGHT AND WRONG, and LIFE or DEATH, … then THEY NEED TO CHANGE.
But the choice is their's to make.
I'm more than happy to walk over their ashes.
When the times comes (for that time is SURELY coming), will YOU OBEY GOD ?

No, you're not condemning them to hell, but if they're unrepentant sinners (sexual sins or others), the Bible tells them they won't inherit the kingdom of heaven. What the Bible tells them is also what Christians need to tell them.

As for having feet in heaven, I think that since our glorified (tangible) bodies will look like Jesus' body (He being the "first fruits"), we'll definitely have feet.
