"On that day some Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came to Yeshua and questioned him, asking, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother as next of kin shall marry his wife, and raise up children for his brother.’ Now there were seven brothers with us; and the first married and died, and having no children left his wife to his brother; so also the second, and the third, down to the seventh. Last of all, the woman died. In the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had married her.”
But Yeshua answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not understanding the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." ~ Matthew 22
There are 2 things here, one, Yeshua corrected their warped view of the resurrection, and two, Yeshua emphasized that the resurrection of the body is the only salvation of God (God is God of the living).
Yeshua said, "God is not the God of the dead, but of the living", and he meant it. If angels are invisible ghosts with wings, then Yeshua's message was pointless and makes no sense (as it makes God the helper and salvation of dead ghosts in spirit heaven, having nothing to do with the living resurrection). When you understand that "angels" are living breathing beings, as Yeshua understood, then you'll perceive his message a bit differently. God is God of the living; not of the dead, not of flying whispering invisible spirits, but of the living.
Marriage is yet another human law that man bound to God a very long time ago. There is no marriage in "heaven", but there is plenty of sex in "heaven". Marriage is not required for the woman to fuck her seven prior husbands.
God is still the God of Yeshua, as well as the God of every "angel" working alongside Yeshua.
