> At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. (Matthew 22:30, NIV)
I recently posed this verse as a question to Swedenborgians who believe that marriages on Earth can continue into heaven. It’s been traditionally understood by the church that this verse says marriages cease after death. However, Lee Woofenden argued that this verse only says people won’t be given in marriage.
So then, what is the biblical basis for claiming that Matthew 22:30 is referring to all marriages ceasing at death?
