Bible Question:
Mat 22:29-30 29Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. My Question is: Does above passage mean that there will be no male or female in heaven? I was told that Angels are neither male or female. Is this true? |
Bible Answer: For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:27-28 I have no reason to think it will be anything other in heaven. There is a fictional character on "Star Trek The Second Generation" who has assumed the shape of man. In essence, on his home planet his species are one. They are depicted as some sort or liquid. In our carnal mind we, cannot comprehend heaven. However, except concerning the depiction of us, the Church, as the bride, unlike Star Trek's "shape shifter," scripture does depict individualism, but not gender, other than when refering to God the Father and Jesus the Son. Instead of individually focused love as we now know it, I feel, our love in heaven will be as the people of the shape shifter depicted above. We will love, and be loved by Everyone and Everything. A love, man cannot currently comprehend. Why then would there be a need for marriage? There will be no need for reproduction. Companionship will be as common as the very air we now breathe. |
