Great. Now I'm imagining Augustine looking at his boner and calling it hideous. Who does that? If I'm rocking a hammer, I'm generally pretty proud of it.
Until we reach the perfection of manhood, the stature of the full maturity of Christ,’ and ‘Being shaped into the likeness of God Son’, some people suppose that women will not keep their sex at the resurrection; but, they say, they will all rise again as men, since God made man out of clay, and woman out of man. For my part, I feel that theirs is the more sensible opinion who have no doubt that there will be both sexes in the resurrection. For in that life there will be no sexual lust, which is the cause of shame. For the first human beings, before their sin, ‘were naked, the man and the woman, and they were not ashamed.'”Thus while all defects will be removed from those bodies, their essential nature will be preserved. Now a woman’s sex is not a defect; it is natural. And in the resurrection it will be free of the necessity of intercourse and childbirth. However, the female organs will not subserve their former use; they will be part of a new beauty, which will not excite the lust of the beholder–there will be no lust in that life–but will arouse the praises of God for his wisdom and compassion, in that he not only created out of nothing but freed from corruption that which he had created.” ~City of God,XXII.17
