Mt. 22:30 says, "For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven"
The purpose of marriage is to replenish the earth and keep the race going. Resurrected saints and angels do not die and do not need to marry to keep their kind in existence.
Hence, there is no marriage among angels or resurrected men and women. Jesus did not say that angels were sexless or that they could not marry and have offspring with women.
That fallen angels did leave their own first estate and marry the daughters of men and produce races of giants is clear from Gen. 6:1-4. That those who committed fornication are now in hell is clear in Jude 1:6-7 2Pet. 2:4. Angels are capable of many human activities.

I don't think the spirit realm is anything like this existence. What I gather from most people is that they want a continuation of this horror show. NOT ME!!
I want a new life! One that I now know nothing about. I don't want to be the same person I am now. I want to be a soul, not a physical being. It needs to be a new experience. I don't want a continuation of this life. I think I'm going to get my wish too. The scripture says we haven't thought of the things that God has for us. That sounds promising.
I want to be totally consumed with whatever the new life is all about. I don't think it can be new AND OLD at the same time. The scripture that says married couples on earth are no longer married in the spirit world gave it away for me. If Faye and I are both there and are not husband and wife EVERYTHING is different. I can barely remember not being married to her.(48 yrs this June).
And that's fine with me. I want a life I can't fathom while living this life. I want to know Jesus the way I know Faye. And I want her to know Jesus the way she knows me. I think that's what the whole thing will be about. Other than that we might as well stay here and keep doing this. Why move?
