As It Was In the Days of Noah - Luke 17:26
zvezda:
Mat 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Mark 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
God refers to the angels as male only, something to think about....

Hi everyone,
I liked Levy's thought about checking the Greek, so I did.
I don't claim any knowledge, but it seems to be correct how it's rendered in the King James (3rd person plural in the Greek) THEY WERE GIVEN...
gamisko: I give in marriage
Original Word: γαμίσκω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: gamisko
Phonetic Spelling: (gam-is'-ko)
Short Definition: I give in marriage
Definition: I give in marriage.
Other translations have something like this:
Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
So, not GIVEN in marriage, but GIVING.
Luke 17:28 gives us more information, but non of these things are sins, are they? The verse mentions nothing about "given in marriage":
"Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;"
This, in my opinion, supports what Dave said: "Business as usual".
Matthew 22:30 speaks of both men and women:
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
My guess is that in Matthew 22:30 "neither marry" refers to men, and "nor are given in marriage" refers to women. Would the same be possible in Luke 17:28?
God bless you,
Eirik

but if this is just "Business as usual", simply saying "they married" is good enough to make the point, no need to say "given/giving in marriage", right?

Nice, thanks Eirik. But I meant if the Greek word/suffix/etc used for they has any gender conotation.

How do you know God only refers to them as male only?
