    … they become like angels.

    In the sense that they no longer have sexual or romantic urges, would be my reading of that passage. Angels have no belly buttons!

      Yes that’s the context - Jesus saying no one will be married in heaven. Either angels are asexual or they’re all male. The latter is a little more likely given all angels in the bible are presented as male. Which if that’s the case has weird implications for what female Christians become when they’re resurrected. Some weird male equivalent? So now we’re “all like the angels”?
