Greetings guys and gals!

I am a new member here. I started my walk with Christ last October (October of 2002) when my girlfriend at the time introduced me to church and her church friends. Slowly, going to church got past my eyes and into my heart. Eventually, acknowledging that Jesus Christ went through hell (literally) on the cross to save me, well, how can you not love the guy after that? That is how I became christian.

Since then, I have married my girlfriend (we got married 5 weeks ago). I also wanted to use God's given talents (my day job is a website programmer for a large website) to serve his kingdom.

As such, I've put up my own website www.holybridge.com last week. It's got Christian Penpals, Christian Art, an online bible and Christian sermons. If you've got a spare minute between all the great discussion going on here, then head on over there and see what you see

Thanks for listening, god bless!

I saw this posted on the HolyBridge.com forums and I wanted to see if we could get some discussion on it here. Here is the link to the full thread if anyone wants some background info:

So, I was talking with my bible study group yesterday about creation. And we came across this verse from Genesis 2:24

"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. "

It got me thinking, and I was a little bit dissapointed.

Will I see, recognize, and be married to my hubbie in heaven?

One interpretation is that we dont take our flesh into heaven, and so my husband will be like a stranger to me. Do you agree?

I don't like the thought of that. Moreover, I can't understand why the bible puts such important on Marriage, if it doesnt carry on into the afterlife.

So if it does carry-through, and my husband and I will be together in Heaven..

What about the Old Testament leaders who had 10, 20, even 30 wives? Will we see them trotting around heaven with a troop of wives following at their heals? That doesnt look quite right in my mind.

So whats the deal?
