If we are married now, and the rapture happens. Will we still be together in heaven?

    I agree He will handle it and I am not worried about it either.

    My entire point has been that I see nothing in Scripture that would lead me to believe that we will not have certain *ahem* parts in heaven. To hold that view is opinion and not Scripture. In fact, I see the exact opposite when you consider Jesus after the resurection.

    Notes of John Wesley;


    20:17 Touch me not - Or rather, Do not cling to me (for she held him by the feet,) Mt 28:9. Detain me not now. You will have other opportunities of conversing with me. For I am not ascended to my Father - I have not yet left the world. But go immediately to my brethren - Thus does he intimate in the strongest manner the forgiveness of their fault, even without ever mentioning it. These exquisite touches, which every where abound in the evangelical writings, show how perfectly Christ knew our frame. I ascend - He anticipates it in his thoughts, and so speaks of it as a thing already present. To my Father and your Father, to my God and your God - This uncommon expression shows that the only - begotten Son has all kind of fellowship with God. And a fellowship with God the Father, some way resembling his own, he bestows upon his brethren. Yet he does not say, Our God: for no creature can be raised to an equality with him: but my God and your God: intimating that the Father is his in a singular and incommunicable manner; and ours through him, in such a kind as a creature is capable of.

    Seems John Wesley believe also, that some way, Christ needed to go to the Father first before the sacrifice was complete. It seems that Wesley believed that God to Jesus was "My God" and to His apostles "Your God" instead of "our" God, indicating that he had a special way to be with God and we had to go through Him to get to God.

    I can't find where any of the other well known theologians spoke on the matter.

    BBob,

    Yes, I freely admit that it is my opinion.
