And yet; Jesus says: Mat_22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. If the Bible is true; and if the spirit of prophecy is true; which I believe they are, how would the seventh commandment fare in heaven? How could it be applied? Would it be needed?

That is a good question I often wondered that myself, since the law is a transcript of the character of Christ then it may be about being like Christ. Here are some texts maybe they can help us understand more Deuteronomy 7:9 (9) Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; Ephesians 5:25 (25) Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Quote Galatians 3:29(29) And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
