Hi Soulified/Tenor Voice

I think we have to get the context right...is it Soul Mate or Mate.
If you say the existence of a SoulMate exist,you are practicly saying yes it exist and if you are married but not to your soul mate,if you then meet him/her at a later stage ,you can divorce and get married to your soulmate.??
That will be wrong is'nt it.
Therefore we need to use the term right,think about it,if you say God has a mate put out for every one,dont you think it will be a little lest complex then saying a soulmate.

I never said that it was ok to divorce someone to get remarried to the person you "think" is your soul mate. I said that if you wait on Go'ds timing then you would know when that person would come along.

I am totaly against divorce. It is so easy to do in this country and that is one reason that our country is in the shape it is in. We as Christians need to look at marriage as what it is and that is a legal binding contract between two people (male and female) and God. There needs to be NO WAY OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

Look at Genesis 2:24-Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Leave here in the original text is-to abandon, to forsake
Cleave here in the original text means- to weld, adhere tightly,to grip.

When the Lord spoke about when a man and a woman come together (when two become one) look at it like this......when you epoxy/glue two pieces of wood together and let then sit for a short period of time....and then you try to pull them apart (just like what happens in a divorce)what happens??? you can not pull them apart without leaving traces of each on the other. same happens when two people separate.

Jesus never gave the gentiles the option to divorce when he spoke about divorce it was dircted to the Jews and not the gentiles.

not I'm off in a tangent and ranting ond raving on my soap box again ....sorry

If you are following God's will for your life, and placing Him first, He will lead you along the best pathway, which includes who you marry. But if you go your own way, and end up marrying someone who was not originally God's best for you, that person becomes your best. Marriage is a permenant thing in God's eyes, and if you marry someone who was not His original best for you, they BECOME His best for you because that is what He has to work with. In His eyes, there is no other option.
Say, someone is building something out of clay. They have a wonderful idea using two colors, blue and gray. They think that these colors would do GREAT together...but at the last minute, the gray clay gets lost, and all that the sculpter has to work with now is blue and red. So he'll make the best out of it, even if originally the gray and blue would've worked best together.

So, God may direct you towards a person, but ultimately it is your decision who you marry, or if you stay single.

YES! That is really close what I am thinking too. God will lead you to the person who you are supposed to marry but you don't necessarily *have* to marry them. That would just be the person that is the best for you to marry. Not saying that you couldn't choose another on your own and be happy with them too. But the one that God chooses is your soulmate, the one that you are meant to be with. Or you can choose to ignore that person and any others, to stay single.

I think the scriptural evidence and only evidence there is,is this.
God has two Will's.One is His perfect Will and two is His permissive Will.
Permissive Will is,He permits it to be so ,but its not His Perfect Will.Take for instance Exodus 19,God permitted Israel to take a law in chapter 19, when grace had already give them a prophet, Pillar of Fire, a sacrificed lamb, a delivering power, but they cried out for a law. It wasn't God's will, but it was injected because man wanted it. And he was cursed by the very law that he wanted. It's best to have God's will. That's what He taught us: "Thy will be done; Thy Kingdom come, Thine will be done."
So the person whoever you marry is your "Soul Mate" as long as they are in God's
Perfect Will.Remember what I said,God will still bless you even in His permissive Will,only to honour His Perfect Will and childbearing by sex is one
of those things.God's Perfect Will was for spiritual multiplication,the way Jesus was born(a virgin shall conceive,not by sex),but God still blessed us even in His permissive Will,through sex came the David etc..
