jan 1, 1954 - There is no Gender outside the Celestial Kingdom [Part 3]

Description:

"In both of these kingdoms [i.e., the terrestrial and telestial] there will be changes in the bodies and limitations. They will not have the power of increase, neither the power or nature to live as husbands and wives, for this will be denied them and they cannot increase.

“Those who receive the exaltation in the celestial kingdom will have the ‘continuation of the seeds forever.’ They will live in the family relationship. In the terrestrial and in the telestial kingdoms there will be no marriage.

“Those who enter there will remain ‘separately and singly’ forever. Some of the functions in the celestial body will not appear in the terrestrial body, neither in the telestial body, and the power of procreation will be removed.

“I take it that men and women will, in these kingdoms, be just what the so-called Christian world expects us all to be–neither man nor woman, merely immortal beings having received the resurrection.”

-Joseph Fielding Smith
President, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints“ Doctrines of Salvation,” vol. 2, pp. 287-288 (original)
