Did Jesus give a hint that in 'Kingdom of Heaven', they will not marry?  email this discussion to a friend?

At Matthew 22:30 it is written, "That same day the Sadducee, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. "Teacher," they said, "Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for him. Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. Finally, the woman died. Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?"

Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven."

Does it mean according to Jesus in Kingdom of heaven none would marry, they would all be in a kind of live in relationship.

Hmmmmm achilles, you are busy this morning! happy

I don't believe in the heaven and hell theory, but if, according to how I see it, there is a heaven I am sure that the concept of houses and friends, marriages, etc.
will not be the same as it is here on earth. The mentality level would be way beyond worrying about marriage, going to the Heaven version of McDonalds, and so on.

When Moses was talking about marriage I think he was giving instruction for the propagation of the Jews.

Hi rich, I am happy to see you participating in the discussion I have initiated today. I will not try to convince you that heaven and hell exist. However, I will share with you my opinion about Heaven. Each day we wake up into a new day; each month we step into a new month; each year we step into a new year; likewise, after end of the age we would step into a new world. Right now God is busy creating a new world for those who have not yet come into this world. Bible tells us we too will find a place in it, if God finds us deserving. May be Jesus had been referring to that new world God is creating as 'Kingdom of Heaven'. Jesus' discourses on this new world pointed out to one fact that it would be a perfect place of bliss. You would agree that the world would be a perfect place to live in, when there would be no liars; and last but not the least, no homosexuals. I have added homosexuality because bible says it is detestable in the sight of God.

However, Jesus did not say in so many words but then there would be no doctors, because none would be sick. There would be no judiciary because none would cheat, and kill and tell lies. There would be no churches, mosques and synagogues, because people in the new world would not need religion as a crutch to trudge along the path of righteousness. Custodians of the religion will not be able to deceive people as they are doing in today's world.

Just because someone had raised a question about marriage, Jesus merely ended the discussion by saying, "In kingdom of heaven, they do not marry".

Marriage came into being because people tend to go back on their vows and promises. They tend to lie and cheat. In new world, since the people would be righteous they will not enter into this sort of contract of marriage. They would simply go to live in and remain together for the rest of their lives.

YesroflBut perhaps at that time you may have thought that I was running around trying to seduce everybody in town, wearing high heels, etc. Yes, even I think that these people may have a mental disorder!

The truth is that I am very monogamous and look like just about every other guy you pass on the street.

And with you, I do appreciate our conversations as I think we are both here to learn...or at least understand different points of view. I profess not to be a Christian, but I can tell you that I have a very strong relationship with God.

Buddha is but a teacher, never stated he was a god nor did he ever ask to be worshiped. All he did was offer a path to eliminate pain and suffering. His main and most important lesson, at least to me was "Suffering (physical and mental) is caused by attachment.

Sorry to have gotten off the discourse of your discussion sad

How do angels spend their time in heaven is not known and having said this it would not be wise to speculate. May be angels do not need relationships. Nothing is written about the joys of heaven. And how one would have joy there is any one's guess.


myLot reputation of 75/100. achilles2010 (2097)   ranked 103 out of 1,673 in the bible  2 years ago

I wonder whether Jesus said that they would be like angels. Translators added many things, to capture people's imagination.

Now you are talking sense achilles. You are absolutely right. Each one intepretes the bible the way he/she understands it as. I don't bother about these things but live a life that is minus hurts to others.

none would marry i guess, because all of us will no longer have an idea about our previous lives? nothing matters anymore but to sing praises to the Lord. I really don't know, space in my lot is not enough if i will post all my questions about the bible, it's not that i am in doubt, it's just that i am so interested with it ^.^


myLot reputation of 75/100. achilles2010 (2097)   ranked 103 out of 1,673 in the bible  2 years ago

Even now none of us have any idea about our previous lives, yet people marry...hugs

My belief is that as Jesus says we will be as the angels , niether marring or given in marriage. To me that means no marriage or "Relashonships" at all.

Let me ask you something (Trying as best I can ) to not get into hot water of offend anyone.

Concerning the Fallen Angels. Were they male or female ? Why was is if they had "Women" angels in heaven would they ( The Fallen Angels ) look upon the daughters of man ?

Thanks achilles,

moonbutters


myLot reputation of 75/100. achilles2010 (2097)   ranked 103 out of 1,673 in the bible  2 years ago

Since there is no need for angels to marry it hardly matters whether they are male or female. I think they must be genderless. lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. moonbutters1 (2315)  2 years ago

Perhaps they will be , but to date are not. Otherwise how would "They" be able to impregnate women ?

But, I don't have all the answers , only what scripture and the Holy Spirit reveal to me.

Hi Achilles,

My, you do post some interesting topics!

I believe that in the Kingdom of Heaven, we will not exist as flesh and blood but as spirits. Thus the concept of marriage would not apply because the primary reason for marriage is to reproduce after our own kind (sure we can reproduce without getting married, but it ought not to be so). We will exist as God exists - as spirits. And we will not need to reproduce, because we would never die.
