From a historical point of view, these parts are interesting, mainly because he doesn't seem to refer to Scriptures he wrote himself.
Jesus is referring to the contemporary Hebrew scriptures...

heres one ive seriously wondered forever, is there sex in heaven? and if so, is there birth too? can human life be created in an eternal place? and what about hell is it that stuff possible there too?
There is no human, physical life in heaven. Therefore, there is no need for sex. Life in heaven is spiritual.

why would anyone want to turn into some strange asexual spiritual being and spend eternity adoring god?  heaven = hell
LOL asexual spiritual being. Why would you even want to reproduce in heaven, let along asexually?
Also, people compare adoring God in heaven to sitting in church or something of that sort. When you see God face-to-face, His power and majesty would fill one with awe. Not to mention how we would become perfect in heaven. We would be uninterested in any diversion at all. The perfect happiness in heaven cannot be compared to material happiness on earth.
Iv'e been called a bible-thumping hippy for my beliefs as a Roman Catholic (and I will probably face with similar verbal abuse here), but whatever.

However, NITRO makes a good point, that in Christianity all such questions have long been answered. You cant trap a good Christian because they have an answer for everything, and any conundrums left over are explained as "mystery".
Or have you ever considered that you can't trap a good Christian because we are...right?  nawww, couldnt be that!
Let me explain the psychology of a Christian to you a little. Most Christians have a strong desire to do right and to be right. Our ideology is founded in the seemingly impossible moral objective of "pleasing God". Most Christians also strive to "become like Jesus". So it shouldnt come as a surprise to anyone that Christians have studied a lot of these issues thoroughly and have answered a lot of these questions beforehand.
