Therefore in the resurrection
whose wife of them is she for seven had her to wife [1] 34:
And Jesus answering said to them The
children of this age marry and are given in marriage 35: But they which
shall be accounted worthy to obtain that age and the resurrection from the dead
neither marry nor are given in marriage 36: Neither can they die any
more for they are equal to the angels[2]
and are the children of God being the children of the resurrection
[1] A good
question to ask complementarian teachers who claim that a man is his wife’s
authority even beyond this life into the resurrection. If a woman has been
widowed and married again, or if a man has been widowed and married again,
quite a conundrum is created with complementarian doctrine that claims a
husband is a wife’s authority in both this life and the next, but that he will
also answer for her at the Judgement Seat of Christ. Jesus clearly stated in
verse 35 that there would be no such thing as a marriage relationship when this
earthly life is over.
[2] Ibid. Both
God’s female children and his male children will be equal to the angels in the
resurrection. That means they will be absolutely equal to each other in the
resurrection as well. Genesis 1:27-28 establishes that God’s male and female
creation were intended to be functionally equal from their creation. Genesis
3:16 is a cursed consequence [for both the woman and the man] of cursed behavior.
It was never a command for a man to take authority over a woman or for a woman
to submit to a man’s authority.
