I only attend and would only attend a church that preaches correctly on this. There were also some people around the time of Jesus who were talking about marriage and He told them they were wrong in their knowledge. And many people still are wrong on this today. This is what Jesus said to such people....
Mark 12:24
24 Jesus answered and said to them, “Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God
If these people actually knew the scriptures then they'd know that spirits do not marry! But they didn't know as some do not know now. Let's see how Jesus corrects them.
Mark 12:25
25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
This verse is very clear that angels do not marry and one day we will be "like" angels and will not marry either or be married to anyone as spirits any longer after we die. We're only married to someone until we die. Then marriage is over!
The word "like" in that verse is a simile. It is comparing two things. These two things are not identical but have similarities.
So we will not be angels Jesus is saying but we will have some things in common with angels. Angels are spirits and they do not marry which is how we will become like them. We will be spirits one day with no marriages.
Why is this important?
A few reasons why.
1) What spirits exists now?
We have good/godly and bad/evil/unlean spirits.
a. God is a Spirit and not a person. He may have taken the form of a human at one point but He's not a human. He is God, a Spirit.
John 4:24
24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.
b. Angels are spirits. They are good/godly spirits because they follow God and not Satan.
Psalm 104:4
4 Who makes His angels spirits,
His ministers a flame of fire.
c.Satan, the Devil, is a spirit too. He was the greatest Archangel in God's kingdom but he lost that right. He chose sin. Those spirits who choose sin are called fallen angels, devils, unclean spirits, evil spirits, etc.
Revelation 12:9
9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
These were demons/evil/unclean spirits who were cast out of heaven with Satan who was their leading evil angel. So they were all just good angels or godly sprits until one high ranking angel/spirit decided to sin and his fellow angel/spirit friends followed suit. Then they were cast out of heaven. They were no longer allowed to be in a kingdom of godly spirits of God.
d. Demons are also spirits. These are the angels who turned evil and got kicked out of heaven.
Revelation 12:7
7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought.
Michael was the next highest ranking angel so he fought Satan (also called dragon) and the bad angels with his good angels. And angels are spirits as we already know.
So why is establishing that they're spirits important?
Well, good spirits (God and His angels) and bad spirits (Satan and his angels) have a few differences in how they act.
1) God, who is a spirit will only communicate to us in a way we will understand and in a way we will have good will. Best method for this, other than giving us His Word/Scripture, is to come talk to us in person!
God temporary became human is says to help save us from Satan and ending up in hell with him.
John 1:14
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
He was ONLY begotten of the FATHER it says. This means He was only begotten of God and not of a human. He's not human. Becoming a human temporary is not being human permanently. I dressed up as an angel before but I am not an angel. Jesus wasn't begotten of Mary or of Joseph. He was only begotten of God it says. Only begotten of a Father, not of any mother. The verse is loud and clear. A surrogate is not a biological mother and not even allowed. Only God can do this process when entering the world as a human.
2) Angels (the good kind) also take the form of humans to talk to us when needed.
Genesis 19:1
19 Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground.
What did these angels look like? People! Well, technically men. Can't be women.
Genesis 19:5
5 And they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally.”
See...God/Jesus came as a male child and grew up. He was a human for a while to teach us things before returning back to His normal world..the spirit world. And the good angels take form of a men when they make visits. At least no female ones mentioned anywhere. It's because of rank. Men are more dominate. Christ/God is head of man and man is head of woman. Ultimately, God is the head of all.
Now with the evil spirits...they take different forms. They don't like to appear as humans and be straightforward and honest..they like to hurt you and deceive you. So these evil spirits will only enter your body to possess and hurt you or they'll deceive. They don't want you to go to heaven but to end up in hell.
Satan the leader of them likes to mostly take the form of a serpent or the appearance of a good angel to deceive you.
He received Adam and Eve as a talking serpent.
Revelation 12:9
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
2 Corinthians 11:14
14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.
And his evil angels love to possess you.
Acts 19:13
13 Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “We exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.”
Anyway, God, Satan, and the good and bad angels are all spirits as it says. And just as this verse says...these spirits do not marry!
Mark 12:25
25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
Male and females were only created for this world and so was marriage. Because God wanted us to marry and then reproduce. This was established for humanity. Not for spirits.
So those saying that spirits married ever are lying. Spirits do not marry. Only humans marry. And only human males with human females are allowed to marry on earth as God established.
Genesis 6:2
2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.
So males saw females and married them that verse says. Some people are making a mistake and saying angels or spirits married females. Spirits do not marry, God already told is this. Such people are being deceived by Satan if they think this is true. Remember what Jesus said....
Mark 12:24
24 Jesus answered and said to them, “Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God
And if you know the scriptures then you won't make that mistake.
Mark 12:25
25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
God makes it loud and clear who the sons of God are and daughters of men are in Scripture so people don't fall for Satan's lies. That's my next thread.
We have sons of God and sons of Satan as well as daughters of God and dauthers of Satan on earth today. These are also the goats and the sheep as God calls them.
Plus, since godly angels can appear as humans, be nice to all! You might not know if it's human or angel
Hebrews 13:2
2 Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.
Mark 12:24
24 Jesus answered and said to them, “Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God
If these people actually knew the scriptures then they'd know that spirits do not marry! But they didn't know as some do not know now. Let's see how Jesus corrects them.
