The Comfort Zone: Words of Comfort: By Ronald Reagan

Will there be such a thing as gender in Heaven?

Will there be such a thing as gender in Heaven?: "Answer: Matthew 22:30 speaks of people after the resurrection not participating in marriage—they become "like the angels." However, this does not mean people are genderless. The masculine, not neuter, pronoun is used many times to describe angels (and HE was like...HIS appearance was like, etc.). So there is no real indication that the angels are genderless beings."

How will our resurrection body be different from our current body?

How will our resurrection body be different from our current body?: "
Answer: In his first letter to the church in Corinth, Paul discusses the great differences between our earthly bodies and our resurrected bodies (see 1 Corinthians 15:35-54). Contrasting our earthly bodies with the splendor of our heavenly (resurrected) bodies, Paul says, “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” (vv. 42-44, emphasis added). In short, our resurrected bodies are spiritual, imperishable, and raised in glory and power."
