I feel silly asking but will the new bodies be male and female and will the family unit that we have on earth be reunited?

Matthew 22, Verse 30:

For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

Regards,

I try to hold my tongue as much as possible, but people! Read your Bibles. Attend church. Go to Bible study. Some of these posts are pretty pitiful. These answers are generally easy to find. When you ask Jesus to save you, do you even understand what you are saying? This is NOT fire insurance. The day you are Baptized, you are expected to “Follow Jesus”. Jesus is “The Word”. Read Him! Love Him! Follow Him! He has all the answers if you will just go to Him and seek Him. All the worry we do here is a waste if you love Him.

Nope. Our new bodies will be like that of the resurrected Jesus. Read I Corinthians 15.

Christ’s new body was physical in nature. He ate fish.

There used to be a dental implant doctor around here who had a billboard that said, “Don’t die with your teeth in a glass.” I wondered what difference it makes where your teeth are when you die. Teeth are for the living.

After we die, our bodies eventually are going to be destroyed anyway, one way or another. “Dust thou art, and to dust shalt thou return.” I have no idea what life after death is like, or what the resurrected body will be like, but trusting in the good God, I know He will take care of what we need.

No silly question on Scripture when you have a teachable spirit.

Jesus addressed no marriage and we will be "like" angels in Matthew 22:30 and Mark 12:25. That doesn't mean we will be angels, but there will be a semblance: probably reference to bodies not subject to decay and such: fit for eternity.

Forgot to show you 1 Cor 15:52-53. This is a key passage on imperishable being put on when we are resurrected.

Will we be with family? Depends. Are they saved by Jesus Christ? 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 is your passage, pay attention to 17.

Will we be as a family unit? Much different. We will all be in one family. The family of God. Matthew 12:47-50, Jesus is teaching who the real family is, not the earthly family. The only relationships that go into eternity are those who respond to the Gospel.

It's not something we should worry about but trust God to do as He promises:

    But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.

    So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being” f ; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.

    I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. (I Corinthians 15:35-58)

Our physical bodies turn to dust and forever gone. We all get spiritual bodies when we get to heaven.

You won't need teeth in heaven, because all you'll be eating is "Heavenly Oatmeal", "Manna of Moses", and "Eve's Applesauce", and drinking "Divine Nectar".

Well, we probably will always have ‘bodies’ of some sort; but the concern over ‘teeth’ and ‘bones’ seems silly to me.

We have no idea what kind of ‘bodies’ we will have ‘on the other side’.

It seems logical that we will have ‘bodies’ suitable to the environment that we find ourselves in. But we just keep forcing our Earthly, flesh-and-blood ideas onto a new existence/dimension that we can’t even imagine - and so we worry about ‘teeth and bones’, ‘amputations’, etc.

Seems like a really silly thought-exercise to me.

I’m content to just wait until I get there, and go with the flow. I’m pretty sure that God has it all figured out for me, and I don’t have to worry about it :-)

Some people get caught up on silly questions. Many people, when they first heard of our bodies being transfigured into our immortal bodies have wondered if that was going to be painful.

The question should just be answered without judgement.

If I was just a bag of dog poo in heaven, I’d be ok with it. Better than a flaming bag of dog poo....

I’m not worried.

We probably have an endless procession of ‘immortal bodies’ ahead of us.

And, whatever happens at the moment of death (and I personally believe that it’s probably engineered to be quite merciful):

What sense does it make to be worried about something that is inevitable?

Just LIVE! Just live as fully as you can, with as much love and exuberance and curiosity that you can!

I think that’s why God put us here, and that’s what He expects out of us.

“Adam had his eternal body from the beginning of his creation.”

Our pastor has mentioned how just like Adam (who was, as you mentioned, doing what he was supposed to do forever) - that we will have bodies, eating, drinking, and doing work. Of course before the Fall - work was fun. It was only after the fall that it became a burden.

“And there will be science too! Adam giving all the animals names - that sounds like science to me!”

Prior to our pastor saying that I thought that a good friend of mine, on his death bed, was just delusional. He woke up once, said “The rock outcrops are amazing!” - then went back to sleep. He was (is?) a geologist.

Another time he woke up and said “Beer. There’s beer.”

That’s funny. I appreciate humour on these realizations.

At his funeral, the pastor was talking about how my friend wasn’t the most regular attender at church, but he was valued by many. The pastor then gave a whole bunch of examples, and summed it up with something like “And though it may not have been obvious, he was a real saint.”

Later on you could go up to the microphone and say a little something about him. One of his old buddies said “Well - I’ve heard Frank called a lot of things - but ‘saint’ was never one of them!”
