In response to Deb, "Show me where the Bible strictly teaches against marriage after death....

"23 That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. 24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him. 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. 27 Finally, the woman died. 28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?” ---Matthew 22

"29 Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage"

Clearly, NOBODY is in a married state in heaven, otherwise Jesus' words here make no sense.

Read through what Jesus said, what you said, and then point out where you went astray, at least in a logical fashion.

Oh, come on. That doesn't even come close to applying to their argument. Jesus is talking about relationships "at the resurrection".

I admit, the Mormon practices are weird, but are obviously out of concern for the souls of the unsaved. And they are NOT "strictly taught against" as was claimed.

This is getting ridiculous.
