The Sadducees came at Jesus with a question of how marriage relates to you after you die. This is despite the fact we should already know that the Law only has dominion over a person until they die, as the apostle Paul also explains (Romans 7:1-3).

This question would have been easy to answer as a false premise, since marriage is annulled by the bodily death. Jesus went even further by revealing more about what happens in his answer, and he said that there they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

He doesn't say that they are them, but that they are like them in the same way that these don't have marriage.

Also since the Sadducees don't believe in resurrection of the dead, his answer addresses this by implying the fact that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are alive and not dead. This mirrors 2 Corinthians 5:6-8, and also, the fact that God is able to raise up those who he will from the grave, just as he did with Jesus Christ.

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

–1 Corinthians 15:20-23

Right because in the end times Jesus Christ will return with his saints to judge the earth. 1 Corinthians 6:2-3, Jude v. 14-15, Matthew 19:28.

Funny, I read the same story in Luke 20 yesterday and thought about how it's clearer there. Luke 20:

33 Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?”

34 Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, 36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection. 37 But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’[b] 38 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.”

Verse 37 is what clears it up IMO:

>But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’

He is referencing scripture to back up his point that there is a resurrection which Moses believed in. Not necessarily referring to literal physical bodily resurrection like that of Jesus.

Strange that angels don't marry but they do mate with human women creating the Nephilim.

It’s right in the text you just posted.

>At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

>like the angels in heaven.

>like

Not “become angels”.

strange indeed, this legit raises questions, i always pictured their crotches to be like ken/barbie dolls, but they must have a wang and tackle to be able to pump into poon. but how/to what their nature is as spiritual beings when manifest in the material universe to be able to copulate with women is is very uncertain

>>816766

Watchers aren't angels necessarily, but probably other sorts of divine beings who enfleshed themselves

>point me to the verse.

Literally all of Revelation.
