Mat 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Mat 22:31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
Mat 22:31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
Mat 22:32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
The Sadducees where trying to trick and to mock Jesus by asking him a question about a woman who was married seven times. Whose wife would she be in heaven? They did not believe in an after life and they did not believe in Jesus, so they were trying to make him look foolish. Why is it that the foolish ones try to make the things of God foolish? A proverb comes to mind.
Pro 26:4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
Pro 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
Pro 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
Jesus answered him wisely, for he is all wise with all authority. First off apparently marriage is not to continue in heaven, for we will be as the angels which are spiritual creations.
Rom 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
We will continue to love one another as commanded by Jesus. We will become the bride of Christ and will have a marriage supper, but it is not like the marriage of flesh. We shall be one in spirit with God.
Joh 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
Joh 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
Joh 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
Jesus addresses the Sadducees concerning their unbelief in the resurrection, by telling him an important truth.
Mat 22:32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
Jehovah's Witnesses say that Jesus is not God. Jesus says that he is. I AM the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob: Have you not heard this? Jesus is Jehovah God, one with the Father and God is not the God of the dead, he has made us new spirit creations, he is God of the living. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are alive in the spirit and awaiting the resurrection.
Luk 20:36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
