As I pointed out, there is no mention of marriage here. Only procreation. Consider the implications.
In God's creation "animals/plants" can only "produce" after their kind.
Genesis 6:4
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
So... we'll have no idea who we are, where we are, or why we are there?
I think I had an emergency room experience like that. Seemed more like hell than heaven.
Just sayin'...
The original post seemed clear enough to me. I've read my bible more than enough to recognize error when someone presents it. Maybe it's you who needs to read your bible more.
Probably the reason why the OP is asking is because they havent read their bible or not even got to revelation yet, which is the last book of the Bible.
So its not wrong to say read your Bible. Everyone ought to be reading their Bible and searching scripture. Every day.

That is symbolic of no conflict including between species as is now.
On the subject of marriage in Heaven MattForJesus wrote: "But when people are at the new earth, the New Jerusalem, the final destination of the saints, the former earth shall not be remembered, nor come to mind, for it is associated with sin, and rebellion."
The claim was that everything in our former life on earth was "associated with sin", including marriage. (obviously)
Maybe you smell yourself? You certainly seem to excel in misunderstanding posts in a legalistic manner.
Matthew 22:23
hat same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus and questioned Him. 24“Teacher,” they said, “Moses declared that if a man dies without having children, his brother is to marry the widow and raise up offspring for him. 25Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died without having children. So he left his wife to his brother. 26The same thing happened to the second and third brothers, down to the seventh. 27And last of all, the woman died. 28In the resurrection, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? For all of them were married to her.”
29Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angelsb in heaven.
So no, I would not expect to go to weddings in the new world.
God loves children, draws them near, says we should be child-like ... On the new earth, we will not age as we do here. We will be at an eternal prime condition that has no age. But seeing God loves children so much, I have to imagine that prime condition will have a lot of the child in it!
& he said we wouldn't even recognize each other or remember anything about our life on earth -- with the implication that our very personhood and identity as individual beings is sinful.

i've read a lot of very weird and seemingly misguided things in his posts. so much so that i usually don't even try to get into replying to him. it would be so much work lol -- which is, i guess, a fault, in me. to just pass it over -- am i loving him by ignoring it? so thanks for pointing that out, Sketch
