Matthew, chapter 22

10 "Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered together all they found, both evil and good; and the wedding hall was filled with dinner guests. 11 "But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes, 12 and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?' And the man was speechless. 13 "Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' 14 "For many are called, but few are chosen."
I'm not sure that this allegory portrays the biblical God in a good light ...
29 But Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 "For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
At least there won't be any domestic quarrels in Heaven ...

How apt, that you would take these Scriptures out of context, to support your view. If you read the entire context, you will see that none that were invited came, that they were too busy to be about their "king's" business, or to come to the wedding that was prepared for them. All of these verses are about those that should believe but don't, and act spitefully toward the Lord. Perhaps you should take notice. My prayers are with you.

Seems like you only see what you want to see and ignore the rest. But so be it.

And thanks for the prayers. But I don't need them.
