I have no idea of what you were trying to say here. None. You can try again if you want or we can just agree to disagree, even though I don't even know what I'm disagreeing with since I can't understand what you're trying to say. It's probably best to just let this one go.In Luke 20. This is where the discussion began, remember? You used the example of Jesus saying that those who partake in the resurrection do not marry. This was in response to the Sadducees asking "whose wife will she be" if all seven brothers had married her before the resurrection.
You said we are not in the next age yet because we still marry. I'm saying, your example does not prove your point because Jesus is not saying that those in the next age do not marry. Rather he's saying those who are resurrected in the next age do not marry again after being resurrected.
Luke 20
Then some of the Sadducees, who deny that there is a resurrection, came to Him and asked Him, 28 saying: “Teacher, Moses wrote to us that if a man’s brother dies, having a wife, and he dies without children, his brother should take his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. 29 Now there were seven brothers. And the first took a wife, and died without children. 30 And the second took her as wife, and he died childless. 31 Then the third took her, and in like manner the seven also; and they left no children, and died. 32 Last of all the woman died also. 33 Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife does she become? For all seven had her as wife.”
34 Jesus answered and said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35 But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; 36 nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
