I do not believe there is a soul mate, however, I do believe there are several Christian men from which to choose from out there. It is just meeting the right man.

Thank you, Roniluv, for your question, 'Is there such a thing as a soul mate?'
I think the mate part goes back to the ancient revelation of God found in the book of Genesis (Genesis 2:18-25). The soul part is also important. God wisely gave us His revelation, the Scriptures, and the indwelling Revelator, the Holy Spirit, Who will lead us & guide us into all the truth. The soul part is finding someone who has in common what we have & desire & is in agreement with what we believe & is consistent in walking in that belief & revelation that God has given. And indeed God does give us clear revelation--boundaries, guidelines & commandments--given to warn, protect & bring fulfillment. He is the One Who designed marriage for a man & woman & desires this earthly marriage to be a living picture of the marriage of Jesus Christ with His bride, the one Church, the one Flock, the one Congregation, the one Body He has chosen & called out from the world. Much can be said here & many books have been written on this but I will keep it simple with 6 passages. Meditate on each one, writing down the insights God gives you for being, seeking & finding the soul mate that God desires to lead you to & know. Hope this is helpful in answering your question, allowing the Lord to bring you revelation by His Spirit. I Corinthians 7:1-5 Now with regard to the issues you wrote about: "It is GOOD for a man NOT to be [sexually] touching a woman (literally attached to, i.e., have sexual relations with). But because of immoralities (fornication), each man should have relations with his own wife & each woman with her own husband. A husband should give to his wife her sexual rights & likewise a wife to her husband. It is not the wife who has the rights to her own body, but the husband. In the same way, it is not the husband who has the rights to his own body, but the wife. Do not deprive each other, except by mutual agreement for a specified time, so that you may devote yourselves to PRAYER. Then resume your relationship, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. I Peter 3:1-12 In the same way, wives, be subject to your own husbands. Then, even if some are disobedient to the Word, they will be won over without a word by the way you live, when they see your pure & reverent conduct. Let your adornment (for beauty) not be merely outward-—the braiding of hair & wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes-—but the inner person of the heart, the lasting beauty of a gentle & tranquil spirit, which is precious in God's sight. For in the same way the holy women who hoped in God long ago adorned themselves by being subject to their husbands; like Sarah who obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. You become her children when you do what is good & have no fear in doing so. Husbands, in the SAME way, continue residing together, treating your wives with understanding (consideration) as the more delicate vessel & continually showing them honor (literally in dignity esteeming them of the highest value, precious) as fellow heirs of the grace of life. In this way NOTHING will hinder your prayers. Finally, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, affectionate, compassionate & humble. Do not return evil for evil or insult for insult, but instead bless others because you were called to inherit a blessing. For the one who wants to love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil & his lips from uttering DECEIT. And one must turn away from evil & do good; one must seek peace & pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous & His ears are open to their prayer. But the Lord's face is against those who do evil. Genesis 2:18-25 The LORD God said, "It is NOT good for the man to be alone. I will make a companion for him who corresponds to him. (helper meet for him)" The LORD God formed out of the ground every living animal of the field & every bird of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them & whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man named all the animals, the birds of the air & the living creatures of the field, but for Adam no companion who corresponded to him WAS FOUND. So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep & while he was asleep, He took part of the man's side (flesh & rib) & closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the part he had taken out of the man & he brought her to the man. Then the man said, "This one at last (finally) is bone of my bones & flesh of my flesh; this one will be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man." That is WHY (the reason)a man leaves his father & mother & unites with (glued to) his wife & they become one flesh. The man & his wife were both naked yet they were not ASHAMED. Amos 3:7,3,8 Certainly the Sovereign LORD does nothing without first revealing His plan to His servants the prophets...Can two walk TOGETHER, except they be IN AGREEMENT? The Sovereign LORD has spoken! [Amos is a prophet of God] 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 Do not become MIS-MATED (partners) WITH those who do not believe, for what PARTNERSHIP is there between righteousness & lawlessness, or what FELLOWSHIP does light have with darkness? And what AGREEMENT does Christ have with Belial (idol god)?Or what does a believer have in agreement (share in common) with an unbeliever? And what MUTUAL AGREEMENT does the temple of God have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said, "I will DWELL IN them & will WALK among them & I will be their God & they will be MY people. Therefore, come OUT from their midst, & be SEPARATE," says the LORD & touch no UNCLEAN thing & I will welcome you & I will be a Father to you & you will be My sons & daughters," says the Sovereign LORD. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 Two are better than one; because they have a good REWARD for THEIR LABOR. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falls; for he has not another to HELP him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat; but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevails against him, two shall withstand him; a THREEFOLD cord is not quickly broken. |
