Soulmates

January 14, 2004

-Do you believe in Soulmates?

-NO!!!NO!!!NO!!!--REASON??--WHY??---NEW-AGE!!!!

It sounds too New Agey to me, too.

Christian women are supposed to be "Help Metes" (mates) to their husband.

Not soul mates which does sound really New Agey.

I think that God had both my wife and I wait for each other--for His glory. I love my wife so much and want to be a servant to her. We have been together for over a year and a half and we do not argue or fight, just love.

Could we be soulmates?

By the world's terms, no.

But by God's bringing us together......I would say so.

Some of the questions I have been asking, come from other web sites.

I think I will get a better handle on what I read before I introduce the questions.

I am a Seeker. I believe it is better to know something about a topic, then to know nothing.

As example - Dad Ernie knows about many things that are happening in the world today.

It is one thing to know about it, IT'S another thing to choose to participate in it. Isn't this why YHVH gave man a will and the knowledge of right and wrong.

Many folks are fearful about reading articles of the world.

There are Christian people who read about everything from movies to False Teachers and more. So they can share what they find with all of you!

Hey, Snowdoove -

Nothing wrong with asking questions and starting discussions.

If there's been negativity, it's because before you came on Board, we've had people using such innocent questions to initiate heated debates and promote false teaching. So, it began setting people on edge. :suspect:

Mega appologies for any misunderstandings. :b2:

If I may, it would probably clear the air if when you ask your questions, you provide a little blurb about where the question came from or why you asked it or something to indicate your intentions of simple inquiry and discussion on the issue, or something like that?

Would that be fair for all and peaceful and such?

I agree with you E4S. Sometimes I wonder if we are too sensitive to the words and phases floating around out there. My wife and I met when we were 12, married at 19 and have been married for 25 years. I wish I could say that we never fought...we have two college-age sons. Need to know more? Regardless, I love her with ALL my heart but I know that the Lord comes first in her life and likewise with me. We may not be "soulmates" biblically speaking but she is the woman that God intended me to share my life with because we are perfectly matched (except that she can be meaner than me).

Genesis 2:24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

Soulmates/Karma etc I dont much like all that kind of stuff sounds to universal new agey for me, but then some people may use that term 'soul mates' in a purely biblical way in their own thinking, but I would say that the general 'world' looks at it from a very non-biblical perspective...

I prefer to say after meeting that right person, that 'he is the one God has blessed me with' long I know but much more biblical I think...

Okay just my thoughts

F1

i generally prefer other words besides "soulmate", but i do often use the term because it's one that so many people think they can identify with.

God brought mark and i together. that we sometimes go through personal struggles isn't God's fault... but He did bring me His very best for my life, and vice versa. and God blesses us enormously, when we're not letting ourselves get in the way.

God chose mark for me. in that sense, i suppose i would call him my soulmate. i prefer to call him my husband
