The nature of Revelation is symbolic. These verses deal with visions of heaven that John was given by God. This is not an example of what the Apostles or the 1st century Christians did in their worship of God.

Also, if what happens in heaven is to be considered an example of what goes on today, then we should no enter into marriage relationships, since they will not exist in heaven.

That is the most disconnected argument I have ever read on Free Republic.

Congratulations.

That'snot exactly universally agreed upon btw (though it was used as an example by those who felt ascetism was ideal and marriage was a sin)
