Why do some Christians reject this from the bible?

Post Reply New Topic

Why do some Christians reject that in the Bible, Jesus is saying that we will not marry and have families in Heaven? I'm entirely convinced that this is what Jesus says, no matter how sad/rough I think that reality is. I do not have a very strong belief in God, but I can't deny that it is what Jesus said. This is what the large majority of Christians believe about marriage and relationships in Heaven, and all the benefits we get from it on Earth. Why??

I don't want to have anything to do with Heaven anymore because of this, I'd rather perish in the ground. Things have been difficult to accept, I even try and bring the issue up with mom, but she just gives me the "believe whatever you want" argument, but that is not how belief works. My mom utterly rejects the declaration "there is no marriage or relationships in Christian's Heaven".


It's very sad, I had rarely any relationships. If it was up to me, in Heaven I'll have an attractive, smart, educated woman with me for eternity.

Oh and also, I'll no longer be limited by my below average male height.

Your thread-title indicates some Christians; This implies that not all Christians reject what you learned ?

I guess I should try not to think about it for now, but I really struggle with that.

Yeah, you're young. You have plenty of time to get laid, married, have relationships here!

By the time you get to heaven you'll be all humped out!

...and ready for eternal church!

Good answers already precede me , though I will say that back hand Christians go in a Bible school kind of mindset and don't really read the Bible enough for nuances to sink in.
I don't think anything close to a "rejection" is the attitude.


It goes along with Christmas traditions and the Easter Bunny kind of stuff. I mean we fear our beloved pets will be left behind and want to see the loved ones we missed. But biblical passages make no allowances for that kind of happiness when faced with ultimate pleasure of full Grace.

That's just it - it's not YOUR Heaven, it's God's. He makes the rules, not you.

I know he makes the rules and I don't...we might as well not have free will either if that's the case.

I always thought that what Jesus was getting at was, there will be no need to just love your mate in heaven, as everyone will love everyone else perfectly (or as Trump say: bigly).

I guess this means I can't re-live my parent's lives when they grew up when I die either. I just want a life in Heaven that would not be physically possible on Earth. I had so many dreams, they are now gone.

Fun concept, the christian heaven, ey?
You'll be resurrected, body and all, which is relatively rare in religions (although the big, monotheistic ones have it).
But all your physical needs will be gone.

I think the resurrection in heaven is a concept invented to make heaven more tangible for people, pedestrian I might say. Nirvana is a pretty abstract and intellectual concept in comparison.

But don't worry, it's all easter bunny.

That's a good question. I've honestly never believed anyone gets married in heaven, not so much because of that quote, but because of marriage vows.

Until death do us part.

I've never thought that angels were like us either. I've always thought they were spirits and not material.

Sex isn't bad, it's just something that can't be done without a physical body.

I don't see heaven as anything like earth.

If it was like earth why wouldn't we just stay on earth? We would we die and go to another place that's exactly like earth? It's just not how I pictured it.
