Jesus Did Not Say “There’s No Marriage in Heaven” (feat. Jonah Barnes) 

Think of it more that Michael was eternity married, before.

@@WatchingwaitingG2Dcrazy realization

Not until they are the fruit of knowledge of good and evil

And then they were kicked out from the garden of Eden

Yes! And also that they are one flesh, the man and the woman alone aren’t good 😁 what God has joined together let no man separate (paraphrasing, but it’s good stuff, not sure why they cherry pick that verse)

@@BenjaminJones0118 Thank you. Great comment.

And since there was no death in the world before the fall, the marriage of Adam and Eve was eternal. It is non-eternal marriage that was the deviation from the plan.

Whoa! 2002-2004…

2012-2014 for me

Awesome me too! 90-92! When the Buenos Aires West mission was formed near the end of my mission i was transferred to that mission.

Very good posting and question. I will look for an answer as well.

Idk, good question. I was hoping he would answer that

The answer is obvious and thus needed no response. The story the sadducees were referring to was in the book of Tobit in the deuterocanonical apocrypha. In that story there were 7 people who had married one woman and they all had died one after another. So this was a well known story and the sadducees referred to it. Thus Jesus responded rightly that they know not the scriptures! Since the story of tobit was part of the scripture in those days, the sadducees showed ignorance to the teaching of that story. Tobias ends up marrying the woman who had prior grooms dying on her. Evil spirit was behind these deaths and Angel Raphael told Tobias how to expel the demon. Raphael says to Tobias not to be afraid to marry her, since she was appointed to him before the foundation of the world. So the story alone made it clear that the last man who married her was the rightful husband in the resurrection according to the scriptures since they were set apart for each other. Temple does this same thing for all of us

@@jaredite8388 Thanks for the insight. Still the temple brings the question of sealing. If a man is sealed to a woman, and she dies and he gets sealed to another woman, and the first wife never wanted to 'share' her husband as Sarah to Hagar. Is this binding on Earth and heaven negotiable even after it is made? I can't imagine divorce is a thing in the Celestial Kingdom, yet then again we do have free agency and even Lucifer divorced himself from God. Any thoughts?

@@jaredite8388 Am I missing something? Isn't Tobit a book about temporal suffering? Where does her marriage survive the temporal world? The angel Raphael relieves the suffering of those who follow god's will isn't that the story? But isn't it all temporal? fyi her husband came to her without lust and they prayed as their first act as man and wife.

⁠​⁠@@jaredite8388Hold up Dawg I appreciate the answer but are you saying that we’ve all obviously read the book of Tobit 😂??? I’ve never even heard of it but that’s probably just my bad

Aww, thanks, Erica!

Thanks, Angela!

Thanks, Crenshaw!

Christ's statement that these particular men won't be married in heaven because they will be as Angels literally means that gods have marital relationships in heaven, but angels don't, and those who are like angels don't. Otherwise Jesus Christ would have said that nobody has a marital relationship in heaven, period. But Jesus didn't say that at all. Jesus Christ instead emphasized that angels don't have marital relationships. Doesn’t that speaks volumes??? It does to me. Furthermore, it is 100% Biblically false for anyone to claim that all humans will be as Angels in the Kingdom of heaven. The Apostle Paul taught that deified humans will be above the angels, and will therefore rule over the angels and judge them. The Apostle John likewise taught in the Book of Revelation that deified humans would sit with God in his throne and rule over the Angels in heaven with a scepter. The Book of Revelation likewise says that deified humans will reign with Christ as Kings and Queens. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that the title of King and Queen is a royal marital relationship. Marriage is extremely important to any royal family because it's the very thing that keeps the royal bloodline going for generations and generations. The truth is that we humans are in God's royal family, and marriage is very important to God. This is exactly why the Apostle Peter taught that husbands and wives will be heirs together in the grace of life. This is most definitely an eternal statement from Peter. No doubt about that. I can quote many other biblical scriptures that support the doctrine of eternal families. The earliest of the Christian church fathers from the first three centuries taught that humans have the divine potential to become gods through the grace of Jesus Christ precisely because that doctrine is easily found in the Bible, and it's an ongoing theme that runs through the entire Bible from beginning to end. This is exactly why Paul said, "neither is the man without the woman, and neither is the woman without the man, in the Lord. That is what I call an eternal statement. Remember that God said, "it is not good for man to be alone." I sincerely don't believe that the God of heaven would change his mind about that. The redeemed humans who become like God, rather than becoming like the angels, will be married in heaven because gods are married, but angels aren't. This is the true Biblical doctrine that is taught here. True story!

@james8996 I'm not lying. Pretty much every Bible commentary in existence will tell you that it means Kings and Queens. All your doing is revealing yourself to be a sexist. Bible scriptorians have said it means both kings and queens. C.S. Lewis said Kings and Queens. Various Bible translations say Kings and Queens. But I guess you don't like women so you feel compelled to exclude them from this marvelous blessing.

@benjamin You people always resort to ad holinem when you lose an argument. Just stop already.

No he means to follow the laws of man and pay taxes.

Jesus didn't even do that. He often broke Jewish law. Remember what it says in D&C 29. All of Christ's commandments are spiritual and "not at any time have I given unto you a law which was temporal; neither any man, nor the children of men; neither Adam, your father, whom I created."

@@fightingfortruth9806 Jewish law not Roman law

Jewish law was the law of the land where Jesus lived. He broke their law. And to be real, he also broke Roman law by paying avoiding paying taxes. He told his disciples to get a coin from a fish's mouth. Remember, that one of the accusations that the Jews brought against him with Pilate was tax evasion. God's law always trumps man's law. That was his point in his "render unto caesar" statement.

In reality, mainstream christians believe that as well... IE you cant go 5 minutes without them "translating" it into what they think it means.

Same belief as most mainstream Christians I speak with You can't talk 5 minutes without them saying well. ....That's a missed translation.... And then start talking about the Greek or Hebrew.... Same difference

From what I understand, they were operating only within the Aaronic Priesthood, not the Melchesidic (sp?)

The Jews in Christ's day were already neck deep in an apostasy begun by King Josiah centuries before.

No celestial marriages because at that time, the Aaronic priesthood was active

There're are 1,000 years in the millennium. God will prove Just. A willing co-creator would never go overlooked.

Yes! Exactly!

But please notice they are not living in eternity, since they have not eaten from the "tree of life". Once they rebelled against God's word and ate from the "tree of good and evil", they became corrupted, and God warns that they must not eat of the tree of life, and thus live eternally in a corrupted state.

@MaryLeonard-mj9ng your order is wrong, they were not corrupted when they were married. They hadn't eaten of the tree of knowledge yet. They didn't the tree of life yet. Marriage predates mortality.

Ya just garbage, sounds like something from mormonism

I never heard anyone make that interpretation of binding a book as it relates to Christs instruction to his Apostles that whatsoever they "bound on earth will be bound in heaven " . That is a clear reference to the authority they were given not how the scriptures / words were assembled or the lasting power of those words.

@@outsideview9052 What is the authority Evangelicals rely upon?

@@jacobsamuelson3181 What they generally tell me is that they rely on their own desire to serve God to decide to attend a seminary and become a Pastor. The only authority they speak of is their education and ability to interpret the scriptures for their congregation. Of course, they say this is all supported by the Holy Spirit as given out to the Apostiles on the Day of Pentacost. It should be noted that Christs authority (priesthood) to act in his name was individually given to each Apostle. The same thing occured when they met together can called a new Apostle to replace someone who had died. It is an important distinction to remember.

Thanks for watching, bro

That’s the secret, marriage was man made almost 2000 years after Adam and Eve was kicked from garden, one flesh isn’t marriage, there is no marriage on new earth and heavens, because becoming one flesh isn’t marriage and it’s never defined as marriage, one flesh like the garden is what will exist

@@benjamingregersen9777 So why exactly do angels serve gods? What is it we exactly would be doing?

@braydenweese1407 That's a question for the Apostle Paul and John the Revelator, and of course God himself. They know more than I do on the subject. I just share what was taught by them. Jesus Christ commanded us, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect." I do not believe that Christ commands the impossible, so he'll turn us into a god who can obey that command. 🙏

which would imply her first husband?

That's true, but the foundations of the doctrine of celibacy were laid as early as the Council of Elivra in 303 AD. And in the end it was absolutely hellenism that generated it.

It doesn't say there are no "weddings" after death, it says there are no "weddings" in the resurrection. We know there is time between death and the resurrection, where Spirits in "prison" (I call it school) have the opportunity to accept ordinances performed on their behalf by mortals - this includes sealings. So after death but before resurrection, "weddings" do occur.

In D&C 132 it talks about David's fall an how his wives were given to another by God. It doesn't elaborate whether they had a choice in the matter, but obviously God would choose perfectly. It does indicate that they were kept together.

@allieooop3923 if you read my comment, you would realize that I already said "like angels" or "as angels" in my original comments. The point that you are obviously missing is that the Bible itself clearly indicates that there are redeemed humans who will become god's, and will be nothing like angels. They will sit with God in his throne and will rule over angels as Kings and Queens. The Bible says this stuff, so you are arguing with your own family Bible and not me.

@allieooop3923 I wasn't even making an argument about species to begin with, so you can shut up with that nonsense. You are obviously attempting to change the subject at hand because you can't answer it. If deified humans are gods, then they are by definition nothing like angels because they are above the angels according to holy writ. It stands to reason that gods will be married for eternity if they are not angels or like angels." I was never making an argument about species because that is wholly irrelevant to this discussion. It really doesn't matter what their species is. It's a useless conversation, which is why you obviously need to find a better argument.

@allieooop3923 you should tell that to Joan of Ark. History informs us that Joan of Arc spoke to Christian Saints, who became angels. Joan of Arc likewise testified that her angels were flesh and bone, which sounds extremely familiar to another angel named Moroni. There's absolutely nothing in the Holy Bible that says that angels are a different species. If they are such a different species, then why did the homosexual men at Sodom and Gomorrah want to have sex with the male angels who were eating dinner in Lot's home???? Obviously, those male angels had bodies if they could eat food, and gay men wanted a piece of the action. How did the gay men even see the angels at Lots' house if they didn't have bodies. Obviously, the angels had bodies of flesh and bone, which means that Joan of Arc and Joseph Smith were both correct.

@allieooop3923 Saint Catherine was a Christian Martyr who was Sainted by the Catholic church even though she said that Catholicism had fallen into Apostasy. She tried to save the church from Apostasy. They called Catherine the Dr. of Christianity for that reason. Interestingly, Saint Catherine said that Jesus Christ visited her and gave her a wedding ring. She said that she was eternally married to Jesus Christ. This is Christian history, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the Latter-day Saints. Just think about that for a moment.

This is the best explanation I have seen by far.

If they lived the law of Moses, they must have lived or at least accepted polygamy with the law of levitate marriage.

Thanks, Trey. I only get 20 minute bursts, so I can go too deep everytime.

You make a good point. If I may clarify one thing, we often have a mistaken understanding of the sealing of children to parents. Children are either born in the covenant, or sealed to parents which entitles them to the same blessings as if they were born in the covenant. Some have the idea that parents will be living with their children in a family setting with their children. I knew a sister who told her children that they would not be with their father since the parents divorced and th mother remarried and was sealed to her new husband. I had to correct her, and reassure her children that they would indeed be with their father in the same sense that they would be with their mother. Children will be sealed to and living with their own spouses. They will be free to visit, see, and associate with whomever they choose. Earthly children aren't going to living in a heavenly "house" with parents. They will be doing their own thing, with their spouses, in the eternities. Kind of like it is now.

This is the "Doctrine According to Me", but this is how I reconcile it: There's not multiple "types" of sealings. There's just one. What I mean is, there's not a "familial" sealing and then a "romantic" sealing. The sealing to my parents, the sealing to my spouse, and the sealing to my kids is the same sealing. So, I'm sealed to my spouse, she is sealed to her parents. Therefore, I'm sealed to her parents as well. We're all trying to be sealed together as one giant, human family. So, someone being sealed to multiple people is not a big deal. As far as marriage in the afterlife goes, I don't know how that's all going to work. God will sort that out, and He'll do it in a way that makes sense in the grand scheme of things. It's our job to seal, and it's His job to figure out and make it all work. It's our job to keep His commandments, even if they don't make sense to us.

So my mom told me about this RS lesson on sealings she had been given years ago. She said the teacher had been going through her sewing basket, thinking about how it all “works,” and pulled up her needle, connected to this massive, tangled ball of thread, and she thought, “oh! It’s like this!” I’ve also heard accounts of this “everlasting covenant/covenant of peace” in apocryphal works about Adam and Eve that mention this covenant as the “net” that holds together all of creation. If you’re in the mood for a lecture, Margaret Barker has a couple that discuss this topic on RU-vid: “the biblical vision of creation” and “covenant of peace”; the first for an orthodox Christian audience, the second in Rome, I assume for a mostly Catholic audience. Barker also mentions how she thinks this “everlasting covenant” is this Hebrew concept of “hesed” AND Pres. Nelson wrote a Liahona article about hesed being the everlasting covenant in October ‘22. There is also a theory that “hesed” might be the word/concept behind the 159 mentions of “covenant” in the Book of Mormon, aaaaand in D&C 39:11i think it says the fullness of the gospel is the covenant that will recover the house of Israel. It’s all hesed!!! Hesed is the binding/sealings/covenant/attitude/pure love of Christ/charity/reason for being! (It’s also the word that is usually translated as “steadfast love” or something similar in the OT because it is a covenant/kinship term that doesn’t really have an English equivalent. It is definitely also a kind of love).

Your argument is faulty because eternal marriage doesn't work that way anymore because Levirite marriages were part of the Law of Moses, which ended long ago. Eternal marriage is differently under the New Law. So your argument is actually pretty dumb, just saying.

Law of Moses had a levirate marriage to protect women. She was only sealed to her first husband, all the other marriages were to give her children to take care of her in her old age, because women could not take care of themselves. The other 6 brothers men would have been married to other women and had their own children with the other women.

@@libertylady208 I agree with what you said that she would end up with the first. But what does it matter if what Jesus said just means there are no weddings in the resurrection? Ok, they had levirate marriages(never heard of that before)? Forgive my ignorance, but you said she was sealed to the first, but... were the jew's familiar with couple sealings? Lol, not anti, just uninformed apparently. If sealings were a thing at that time, why aren't jews still sealed today?

Marriage is extremely important to any royal family because it's the very thing that keeps the royal bloodline going for generations and generations. The truth is that we humans are in God's royal family, and marriage is very important to God. This is exactly why the Apostle Peter taught that husbands and wives will be heirs together in the grace of life. This is most definitely an eternal statement from Peter. No doubt about that. I can quote many other biblical scriptures that support the doctrine of eternal families. The earliest of the Christian church fathers from the first three centuries taught that humans have the divine potential to become gods through the grace of Jesus Christ precisely because that doctrine is easily found in the Bible, and it's an ongoing theme that runs through the entire Bible from beginning to end. This is exactly why Paul said, "neither is the man without the woman, and neither is the woman without the man, in the Lord. That is what I call an eternal statement. Remember that God said, "it is not good for man to be alone." I sincerely don't believe that the God of heaven would change his mind about that. The redeemed humans who become like God, rather than becoming like the angels, will be married in heaven because because gods are married, but angels aren't. This is the true Biblical doctrine that is taught here. True story!

I need explanations. Teach me what you know.

@@spideyN8R and Jonah can never be wrong because He is God. Not

Thank you, beautifully written and a great point

Silence is a great place to access the spirit and hear God but we absolutely do not believe women are given the gift of silence and should be silent in things. That is not a doctrine that is taught over the pulpit or in any modern day revelation, including lds canon scriptures. Women can have opinions, speak, just as men and both can partake in silence and feel the reverance of the spirit.

I'm sorry, but you're just straight up wrong. The standard is the scriptures, and the Scriptures are clear on this. I am really tired of members blatantly fighting this to placate their secular feminist philosophies. "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." 1 Timothy 2:11-12

Maybe Heavenly Mother speaks more than we think. And it is simply us who are deaf and avoid listening.

I believe marriage is the requirement for completion/exaltation, but endowment is the requirement for entrance to heaven/celestial kingdom. I don’t think you’re barred from the celestial kingdom without being married, as you will be a ministering angel, as it says in D&C. I’ve heard stories that that’s why Joseph “married” a little old lady who was like, “oh, I’ll just be an angel,” and he said “nonsense” and was sealed to her.

@@gingersnaps215 You are right. I didn’t clarify that for the non-member readers, but I meant exaltation.

Jesus intentionally leaving his wife a widow?

Jesus obeyed all of the commandments including multiply and replenish the earth given to our first parents.

@@gbengoosewuru4139 a widow? only for three days!

@@avoice423Source for that comment?

​@@gbengoosewuru4139a widow? Seriously?

Christ's statement that these particular men won't be married in heaven because they will be as Angels literally means that gods have marital relationships in heaven, but angels don't, and those who are like angels don't. Otherwise Jesus Christ would have said that nobody has a marital relationship in heaven, period. But Jesus didn't say that at all. Jesus Christ instead emphasized that angels don't have marital relationships. Doesn’t that speaks volumes??? It does to me. Furthermore, it is 100% Biblically false for anyone to claim that all humans will be as Angels in the Kingdom of heaven. The Apostle Paul taught that deified humans would rule over the angels and judge them. The Apostle John likewise taught in the Book of Revelation that deified humans would sit with God in his throne and rule over the Angels in heaven with a scepter. The Book of Revelation likewise says that deified humans will reign with Christ as Kings and Queens. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that the title of King and Queen is a royal marital relationship. Marriage is extremely important to any royal family because it's the very thing that keeps the royal bloodline going for generations and generations. The truth is that we humans are in God's royal family, and marriage is very important to God.

Paul said a lot of things, the Creeds chose what to codify.

@@jonahbarnes5841 Paul quoted Jesus, what, once in all his teachings about Jesus. Pretty sus. John 15: I 15 juxtaposed with Romans 1:1 should tell you all you need to know about Saul, also known as Paul.

@@jonahbarnes5841 yes, that creeds codified the the teachings of Paul that were anti the teachings of Christ.... Which almost all of Paul's teachings were.

@@Beef_it_to_be_fit well, not Baptisms for the dead, or clergy working day jobs, or the three degrees of glory, or two levels of priesthood, or the offices of the priesthood hierarchy...

@@jonahbarnes5841 nah... Just the entire gospel of grace in dozens of DIRECT contradictions to Jesus' words.

Actually, yes! This is true. Jesus was saying your weddings are dissolved anyways. But God's Sealings carry over thru death

​@@jonahbarnes5841That is a lie , After Jesus kingdom is done and the great white throne the Father's kingdom Comes down from heaven that's the end of Mankind my GOD who is Teaching you people

Oooh! Interesting!

The teachings of the Brethren have always remained the same. There have been no splinters of the Church. Just progressives and fundamentalists that are prideful and are dissenters.

Joseph Smith prophesied things that did happen and many that are happening and several that will yet happen in the near future. The term church is misinterpreted and misused today. Joseph did not try to establish an organized religion as it is today, he tried to establish Zion, a society with equality, based on God's eternal principles, a people united in their love and with all things in common, no rich nor poor among them. Unfortunately, that didn't work out due to the iniquity among the members, lust, greed, envies, strife, adultery, etc, all that polluted their inheritance and prevented them from establishing Zion in Joseph's days, he was murdered and did not see Zion established. Those who came after him, abandoned the idea and the commandment to establish Zion and focused on control, authority, power, money and more lust and other iniquities, hence their curses and persecution that led them to be driven away from their land. Zion will yet be established in America but unfortunately not by the Gentiles(This term in the Book Of Mormon is referred to all White Europeans that came to America) Zion will be built by the remnants of Jacob (The Lamanites/ Natives of the Americas/ Hispanics and other Latino groups who are descendants from the House Of Israel) Only the true repentant Gentiles will be called to assist the remnants, all others will be swept off the face of this land when the judgments of God fall upon this land. I would suggest that you study the Book Of Mormon along with other Bible prophecies so you can understand what is happening in America right now and what is coming soon. The LDS "Church" is not the church of Christ, it is an institution that has been corrupted from within and does not have God's true power to lead people to Zion or safety from the storm that is coming. If they don't repent they will be utterly destroyed, all these luxury temples will crumble to dust when the sword of justice fall upon them and it will fall, even Joseph Smith prophesied about that, the destruction will fall upon the church first due to their iniquities, lies, deceit, corruption, priestcraft, etc. Everything Joseph Smith prophesied will be fulfilled because he was a Prophet.

The bible does say how to identify false prophets. There is no warning that there will be no prophets until Jesus returns. The church was placed under condemnation, which has not been lifted. As jesus warned, the wolves will come in sheep's clothing. That's our time. Hence why 'the church' changes for society.

We agree completely. That's why God Restored His Gospel thru living prophets today.

@@jonahbarnes5841who get things completely wrong most times. Not really a reliable way to go back to God.

Almost everyone in the area spoke Koine Greek along with Aramaic. Latin and Hebrew were specialty languages to deal with Romans or Jewish scholars.
