Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh . . .
So this is a case of the RC edifice
yet again
fantasizing and building a skyscraper of dogma on, in this case, half a toothpick.
The Scripture does NOT say
as the ANGELS IN 100% OF ALL RESPECTS etc. etc.
My understanding is that the point was . . . believers in Heaven are not given in marriage and don’t exist as seriously wired seriously sexual beings engaging in all that in Heaven. THAT was the point, imho.
Tacking on all manner of outrageous, outlandish, preposterous assumptions beyond that is absolutely ludicrous, imho.
As I mentioned before, I was just interpreting this on my own, prayerfully, and I didn’t see any qualifiers like what you said, just Christ’s plain words.
So, I guess I’ll have to disagree. But, thanks.
>>The Scripture does NOT say

Nor does it say that they are not, right?
Correct.
Christ was dealing with a question by the Sadducee's' who asked if woman had 7 husbands, whose wife would she be in heaven in the Resurrection.
Note that they used 7 and not just two as if adding more numbers would add to the problem!
Christ rebuked them for not knowing scripture nor the power of God.
Christ said in the Resurrection (not now) they will be as the Angels in heaven, who do not marry.
So much for the Mormon doctrine of marriage in heaven! (Matt.22:23-33)
