I never said I didn't have a body. I just said I didn't know what that entails. Obviously, I can make some guesses. It seems necessary for a body to take up space, for example. But some people have made the inference from 'we will have bodies in heaven' to 'we will have sex in heaven'. I know that having a body in this world means in part being a sexual being, but I don't know that that's essential to having a body. So I'm not willing to make that inference. That's all I meant.
