1 | Will God predestinate you a mate? | 2 Cor 6:14 | 4everblessed | 209185 | ||
Is it true that God has a companion already purposed for you? Is there any biblical reference to divine partnership? Other than Adam and Eve. | ||||||
2 | Will God predestinate you a mate? | 2 Cor 6:14 | azurelaw | 209186 | ||
Dear 4everblessed, As far as I could recall, there is no scriptures specifically stating God choose a particular mate or person for a believer except 2 cases - one is Adam and Eve as you have mentioned and the other is Hosea and the harlot. However, we have to understand the 2 cases within its context. Adam and Eve are the first parents designed by God in the Creation. Hosea and the harlot Gomer (God did not even tell Hosea to take Gomer, but a harlot) is God's intention to reveal His love and faithfulness toward the rebellious and adulterous nation - Israel. However, scriptures do provide guidelines for believers' marrying. See: Deut 7:1-4 2 Cor 6:14 Hope the above helpful. Shalom Azure |

Hi Azure: Sorry to get a little off track here. How about Isaac's bride, in Gen. 24:12-15? Maybe in a roundabout way? Would you say the Lord chose Rebekah? God bless John |

Hello to you tonight Mr. St. John this story goes with what you are saying too. Could it not be said also God interveaning into the life of Jacob him going also to the same place for a wife of himself. He was loving Rachael but it seems God had the other for him to marry Leah was first wife to him then Rachel. Jacob loving her more plus the jealosy to her older sister Leah that God closing the whomb of Rachel making it to happen there were six sons from Leah two from Bilha two from Zilpha making ten of the sons of Jacob befor Rachels whomb was opened by God even with the love being between them. Joseph was the favored of Jacob was to be receiving the inheratance by his two sons Mannassah and Ephream. God also had the son of Leah being number four Judah for the promise of God to Abraham to go to the King David then to the Massiah Jesus so we arseeing that they both Leah and Rachel had a son that God used to blessing mankind by. The thing that is an interesting thing to see is Rachel died befor Jacob and his family was at Bethlehem giving birth to her second son Benjamin on the way to Bethlehem. She was buried there but Leah when she died was buried in the toom with Abraham, Sarah, Issac, Rebecca, then when Jacob died Joseph taking him back to the promised land buried him with his wife LEAH in the toom even with Jacob loving Rachel more than Leah God chose who the wife wold be for him. I like the twistes and turnings that God does to do His will in the earth so I am beleaving God has chosen more than one wife to be married to the one God wants canot prove it thogh it is only my beleaving of this.

Hi Mr KcabmI4: well since you put it that way. God is sovereign in all things. Nothing but nothing happens unless God has allowed it to happen, Yes? So in that case it could be said perhaps that he choses wives for everyone. But really though it is not for us to know the mysteries of God, like you said it is just our thinking and hard to prove. It is an interesting discussion though, thank you for your thoughts on this. I think what we are seeking though is a direct decisive textual choosing by God that can be seen and known that it is said in the Bible, in other words, Sola Scriptura. We all have thinking about this, and you and I both think on the same line in this, but here at Study Bible Forum our little opinions don't add up to very much. The (Terms of Use) ask us to always be sure to try very hard to give Scripture as evidence to our opinions, and in this kind of thinking we are on, and it is difficult to say in so many words, on a forum like this. It would be quite hard to explain this theology with all the Scripture references in such a small space. And with too many words those reading along lose interest fast! :-) I hope that was clear and I didn't muddy the water for you my friend. Darf die Herr Gott über Himmel und Erde segnen Sie reichlich. God bless John p.s. .I think your English is improving already! |
