>>Your argument is with the words of Jesus—little as mockery constitutes an argument.

Liar.

>>Btw, Matthew 25 is not a discussion of marriage. It’s an explanation of the division between the sheep and the goats.

Matthew 25:33

SHEEP, which have ever been considered as the emblems of mildness, simplicity, patience, and usefulness, represent here the genuine disciples of Christ.

GOATS, which are naturally quarrelsome, lascivious, and excessively ill-scented, were considered as the symbols of riotous, profane, and impure men. They here represent all who have lived and died in their sins. See Ezek 34:17, and Zech 10:3.

The sheep are the genuine disciples of Christ who've followed His teachings.   They're not wolves operating in the spirit of anti-Christ who put on sheepskin; WOLVES who subvert and defile the body of Christ's bride - His Church - with fantasy, perversions, and false doctrines such as "Queer Jesus".

Matt 19:4-6

4 "Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,'a 5 and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?b 6 So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

NIV

John 14:24

24 He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

NIV

======================

You  have much luck luring folks into your anti-Christ fantasy world, Wolf?

You are a tragedy beyond words. You are so wrapped up in judging and condemning to have even an inkling. All Biblical teaching re mercy, kindness, gentleness, patience and agape-love goes right past you. You are blind to your own unkindness and indeed, outright nastiness. You cannot see how this behavior mocks the central teaching re the division between the sheep and the goats.

My fear for you is extreme. Without agape-love, there is no hope:

1 John 4

15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. 

16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 

17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 

18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 

19 We love because he first loved us.

20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 

21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
