I don't want to go to the kingdom of Heaven- but I don't want to go to Hell either (paradise, procreation)

I do not want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven for certain reasons. I think it's inevitable that when we pass into the kingdom we would no longer have any biological urges that we enjoy on Earth like sex and procreation, eating and so on. I almost believed that I'd rather go to hell. No one Christian is going to be convinced. Even if they want to convince themselves they're going to have a hard time making a case for it. 99.9% Christians believe that sex is dirty anyway. If there is supposed to be sex or any other Chosen and then the sky supposed to be purple.
Still, I would rather not burn in Hell for eternity. How do other people feel? I'm convinced that you cannot be a true Christian and believe that when we cross over we would still be biological people with urges. And anyone who says that we don't know what heaven is like is wrong.

No...we really don't. Sex is a good thing between married people. I've said that from the pulpit, and I've taught that in premarital counseling.

If you don't want to go to Heaven, you won't. God won't drag you kicking and screaming into Heaven.
Having said that, every indication is that being in the presence of God will greatly surpass any kind of relationship or any pleasure we have on earth.
Sorry but your point about God's prescense for that it's not going to matter is entirely worthless. I might never get married and I feel totally screwed.

I recognize that. I've been married for 18 years. I love my wife. I'm thankful for her. I enjoy waking up next to her in the morning. I get that.
But even that feeling of closeness that I get from her won't compare to being in God's presence.

Well Ghostee, do you believe the Bible speaks truth?
“[God] has founded the earth upon its established places; it will not be made to totter to time indefinite, or forever.” - Psalm 104:5
“The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it." - Psalm 115:16
"For this is what Jehovah says, The Creator of the heavens, the true God, The One who formed the earth, its Maker who firmly established it, Who did not create it simply for nothing, but formed it to be inhabited:" - Isaiah 45:18
"They will build houses and live in them, And they will plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. They will not build for someone else to inhabit, Nor will they plant for others to eat. For the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, And the work of their hands my chosen ones will enjoy to the full. They will not toil for nothing, Nor will they bear children for distress, Because they are the offspring made up of those blessed by Jehovah, And their descendants with them." - Isaiah 65:21-23
"And no resident will say: “I am sick.” The people dwelling in the land will be pardoned for their error." - Isaiah 33:24
“Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” - Rev 21:4
What do those scriptures imply in more simple terms. As for my original question, has the "no marriage for you in Heaven" always been a part of Christianity since the very start?

He's trying to tell you that Armageddon is coming very soon and God is going to restore the earth to a paradise and humans to perfect.
Is all you have to do is follow 7 men in Brooklyn and you will be survive. If you don't follow those 7 men you will die(as in cease to exist) at Armageddon so you won't have any desires anyway.

The Earth will always be here and humans will always inhabit it. There in Isaiah 65:21-23 it makes note that there will be no distress in having kids which means yes, people will stay as humans and live on Earth and able to have families. We will no longer strain ourselves just to have a family.
