I would advise you Colofornian, to study your scriptures to discern which groups Jesus was conversing with, it was not those who were keeping the covenant of Abraham, those two groups Pharisees and Sudceees were apostates of their day! They had no promise with the Lord they were contentious by their very nature towards him! If they continue with their attitude they might have ended up in the Telestrail heaven and there is no marriage there no gender or the Terrestrial is where those who are good, receive a glory and are angels with no gender, so what would the need for marriage be if they have no gender!:) [Restornu]
Resty, I never did respond to this: Jesus says clearly in Matt 22:30 "At the resurrection people [not just certain kinds of people like celestial-degree folks, but PEOPLE] will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven."
So what? Angels marry? Or Angels marry on this earth, but can't get remarried in heaven? Whatever the angels are like in their heavenly marital state is what's in store for resurrected folks.
Well you can arrive at that conclusion because of the you are evalulating it by the understanding of those who are living the lesser law which the Pharisees prided themselves on their strict observance of the law.
The Sadducees also were powerful though quite small in numbers and their treatment of religious questions they held to the letter of the Mosaic revelation and denied the authority of ancient tradition.
So none of them were readly to receive nor hear the higher law!
Just like today some will argue and say that is not so even though back then they had the Lord talking to them and theys still did not want to hear it!
We are having the same conversation, it is the pattern only in modern garb!
