Should people marry? It seems that God would forbid it.

Should people marry? It seems that God would forbid it.
Christian scriptures say that in heaven, there is no marriage.
When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
http://biblehub.com/mark/12-25.htm
As above so below, on earth as it is in heaven, indicates that when God returns to reclaim dominion from Satan, marriage will be abolished.
Why then do most religion of the Abrahamic root advocate marriage at all. Especially the polygamy. God does not favor marriage. If no two souls are to marry in heaven, then the law on earth should be that no two people marry.
We should emulate Jesus in all things and remember that as a Jew, he was almost forced by tradition to marry yet never did even though Gnostic Christian scriptures show him as loving Mary Magdalen more than his male disciples. Even kissing her on the (unknown parts). That is why I suggest that Jesus married Mary. Marriage was expected of all Rabbis.
This modern Gnostic Christian thinks marriage is the way to go, with a single mate, be that a mate of the same gender or not. Love is what is important. Not gender. That aside, I think that frees choice should reign in this issue.
Do you think we should abolish marriage and move closer to God’s heavenly law?

Lets see what the bible says:

First 2 verses of Chrpter 7:
Now I will discuss the things you wrote me about. You asked if it is better for a man not to have any sexual relations at all. 2 But sexual sin is a danger, so each man should enjoy his own wife, and each woman should enjoy her own husband.

Jesus was a polygamist.
Brigham Young said it, so it must be true.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

4 The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband.
This sounds like the Afghanistan Rape Law.

Hey DL, maybe you could check out the rest of that quote- "In the same way the husband does not have authority over his body but yields it to his wife".
Why did you NOT quote that?
To the OP, in Heaven there is no reproduction, no children left to fend for themselves.
Marriage is supposed to be a protection for children and women on earth.
In the coming reign of Jesus for a thousand years here, there will be marriage and kids being born just as now. After the thousand years are up, all that ceases and earth will be as Heaven is now.

Lack of enforcement to the point of being moot.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!

God's heavenly law says that you have to marry a relative, preferably a sister like Abraham did.
