Where does scripture say that?
Matt 22:29Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Warning: can of worms being opened next. I won't argue the following point, I'll just make the point and exit.
There's no particular verse I can think of. It's from an overall picture of the promised land.
Before I go any further, I should say that I don't read the bible anything like other people that I know, and I am very thankful for that.
Certainly not like the average Christian preacher who says we all die and "go to heaven" or "hell" based on whether we simply believe Jesus was a real guy and say the password right.
We still "err", not knowing this scripture, using it and the misunderstanding of what an "angel" is, to suggest that we will have halos, wings, harps, and no genitalia or offspring. All kinds of other strange fantasies.
There's no marriage
arrangements, toiling to find the right husband or wife, like we do now, because that is an construct of man, not God. <
God brings every Eve to her appropriate Adam>
The woman who married 7 brothers will have whichever one of those, if any, she was made for.
Each of those 7 brothers will have whatever woman was made for him, be it that woman or another.
Everyone will "just know" who their companion was meant to be, the way angels "know."
Bible never says that generic mankind goes to the same heaven that God is in and turn into something undefined. We go to a restored earth and a restored version of "human", able to responsibly exert miraculous power over our environment the way Jesus did.
Adam, mankind, is still in a deep sleep while Eve is being made and brought to him. Ever notice that he didn't wake up yet?
I feel sorry that matt 22:29 has been used to teach us that we will not have a partner in the new earth.
They got it wrong the first time, over an issue of "ownership"
They have it wrong this time, over an issue of becoming an "angel"
Who wants to seriously be made into some totally other kind of undefined "angel creature" against their will? Not me.
I'd be totally happy living naked under a tree in paradise with the perfect woman, the way mankind was originally designed and will be restored to.
Most other people would feel robbed or scared by that very simple fantasy.
Revelation 18
Abraham's children will be more numerous than the sand of the sea, or the stars in the sky.
There's nowhere near that many people born yet, nor could they ever fit on this single planet.
Billions and billions of babies yet to be born to what I believe will be us, unaging teenagers, on all those empty "Edens" out there in the universe.
And sorry OP, I can't touch your dream or the "psychic" mom ordeal. I don't do other people's dreams, just "secular" works like snow white.
Except to say that we are all victims of "curse words" when we are 3 years old and our parents tell us we can't look at naked people because it's "bad"
Or when they yell at us during correction instead of doing it in a normal tone of voice.
Again, can of worms, I totally understand. I've was knee deep in religion's version of scripture for a long time and already know
all the counter arguments.
Until I
loved God, loved
others, started putting away sins, the bible was
locked.
Love the ones you hate!
