And you have rejected Jesus' explanation, thereby you have rejected God's Word.

I have not disagreed with Jesus at all, there will be no marriage performed after this life. That is why it is so important that we get all the genealogy done and all the sealings done now before the second coming of Jesus Christ. I have specifically supported exactly what he said.

Your interpretation of what I said is different then your interpretation of what he said, that does not make it so.

"Your interpretation of what I said is different then your interpretation of what he said, that does not make it so."

(Matthew 22:30-a)

"At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage;..."

Mormons see: "There will be no marriage ceremonies," so if you get hitched up just right here on earth, you're set for eternity.

Everyone else sees: "There will be no couples." Taken in context, (Matthew 22:25-30), this is the correct interpretation.

(Matthew 22:30-b)

"... they will be like the angels in heaven."

As far as I know, only the apocryphal book of Enoch, ("Ethiopian Enoch" 7:2 Link), describes angels partaking in marital relations. If you believe in that work, keep reading. None of those angels resides in Heaven; they are severely punished.

So, we can conclude with certainty that neither angels in Heaven or us when we join them will be married to or coupling with anything, let alone producing offspring.
