"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.

I do wish they we could get this straight!!!


Genesis 3:5 "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

You can conclude whatever you want, I will draw my own conclusions, you are welcome to your own, since they are based on your interpretation of scriptures...
