Mark 12

"So the seven had her and left no offspring. Last of all the woman died also. Therefore, in the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife.”  Jesus answered and said to them, “Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God? For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven." vv.22-25

Read chapter 12.

Is there marriage in heaven?  This passage is what many use to say "No."  Yet let's take a closer look at what's being said both by the Sadducees and Jesus here.  The Sadducees who bring up this argument trying to trap Jesus don't believe in the resurrection of the dead and most likely used this same argument against the Pharisees, who do believe in the resurrection, to stump them.  In 1 Corinthians 7:39 it says that a "wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord."  So in death no one is married and start off in the resurrection as single.  Being like angels in heaven doesn't mean we become neuter beings as we know from Genesis 6 that angels impregnated women so there must at least be male type angels.  And if they were able to have sex God would then allow them to be married.  What we can be confused by then is the phrase "they neigher marry nor are given in marriage."  Men have always had free will in marriage, although arranged marriages may not seem like free will to the husband or wife, it was the free will of their families to carry out a tradition or demand.  Even those that have free will to choose who they marry feel like they got it wrong sometimes and as we see the divorce rate continually going higher and higher.  Think about it, Adam and Eve were married before the fall, marriage wasnt just a thing as a result from the fall but something God saw Adam needing a helper.  In the resurrection God will arrange marriages like He did when He created Eve for Adam.  There will be no man's arrangement in it as Jesus is refering to here.  There is the possibility that some chose right and will have the same wife or husband in heaven.  Sex was created by God as something good and it'll be in heaven too!  So whatcha thinking now?
