Title: Marriage in Heaven Post by: HolyBridge.com on November 09, 2003, 09:52:50 AM I saw this posted on the HolyBridge.com forums and I wanted to see if we could get some discussion on it here. Here is the link to the full thread if anyone wants some background info:
http://www.holybridge.com/MB?viewThread=y&gID=0&fID=9&tID=2 So, I was talking with my bible study group yesterday about creation. And we came across this verse from Genesis 2:24 "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. " It got me thinking, and I was a little bit dissapointed. Will I see, recognize, and be married to my hubbie in heaven? One interpretation is that we dont take our flesh into heaven, and so my husband will be like a stranger to me. Do you agree? I don't like the thought of that. Moreover, I can't understand why the bible puts such important on Marriage, if it doesnt carry on into the afterlife. So if it does carry-through, and my husband and I will be together in Heaven.. What about the Old Testament leaders who had 10, 20, even 30 wives? Will we see them trotting around heaven with a troop of wives following at their heals? That doesnt look quite right in my mind. So whats the deal? Title: Re:Marriage in Heaven Post by: Petro on November 09, 2003, 11:53:52 PM Jesus said;
34 The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 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.

Your spouse won't be a stranger, either; I can't say for sure that you'll know him/her for the person they represented on earth, but we are all the children that Jesus has been given, and there will be no strangers there! |
