After Adam and Eve debacle, GOD doesn't choose a wife for any man no more, he only directs |

Originakalokalo: God didn't appoint Eve for Adam. Adam accepted to have Eve as his wife. Prior Eve, he had been looking for a wife amongst the animals God asked him to name. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. Genesis:2:20 Adam made a decision to have Eve as wife, so Good doesn't force any woman on any man. And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Genesis:2:22-23 |

What did Adam later accused God of? I stand to be corrected, God is no longer in the business of giving spouse to any man. It is written that whosoever that FINDETH a wife/knife FINDETH a good/bad thing. I stand by this. It is als written that I WILL GRANT THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART. That is to say, it is what my heart desires that God actually grants. For wife matter, God has let man be. Originakalokalo: |

Adam would have chosen any animal as a mate, but he didn't ACCEPT them. Not until Adam accepted Eve as a wife she was just one of the other creation. Well spoken bros. DisturbNot: |

Bro the truth is the prophet don dey arrange her for another guy. Forget that girl, because with a mindset like that, anything you do henceforth will lead towards you treating her bad. You are even lucky that she didn't go and tie you in one shrine. If you know you know ethankareem: |

MuttleyLaff:. Now this is christian that understands the bible, not some over - spirikoko xtians. Adam blamed God for his woes, he didnt take responsibility as a man should. God taught him a lesson so he can work hard and learn how to take responsibility, since then! God DOES NOT CHOOSE our spouse for us!!! |

MrPresident1: Is He the one who directed you to abuse your fellow human being by saying he is a criminal just because he has a different view from yours? You can disagree with someone without resorting to insults |

Originakalokalo:Yea,,, God gave Eve to Adam and Eve brought condemnation to Adam... Sounds really cool! |

MuttleyLaff:God wants to be involved in everything we do, so, our relationship with the opposite sex is not an exception.commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.prov16vs3.there is away that seems right unto a man, but the end thereof is the way of death.prov14vs12. God has His will in everything we do, it is however up to you to yield to his will or not. Eph 5vs17 be ye not unwise understand what the will of the Lord is. houses and wealth are inherited from parent, but a prudent wife is from the Lord. prov19vs14. Build a relationship with the Holy Spirit and He will help you ease unnecessary stress. |
Re: Does God Choose A Spouse For You? by Nobody: 1:46pm On Nov 18, 2018 |
Originakalokalo.....yes sir...agree completely with you. Eberex....I agree with you except the part where you said that "God lets us choose so we won't blame him." Well, I think (as the Creator of the universe) He's used to "blame", "slander", "misrepresentation", "accusations", "misunderstandings", etc. So I think it's more of God's character to of "love" to allow His children to have "freewill"...(which includes a "risk" on God's behalf. He knows with the concept comes positive or negative consequences by the individual... All I would say to tie it all together is that surely God has His choice, and He will make it known (to the prayerful man and woman), BUT humans have a role to play in discerning and then making it practical (the man initiates and then the woman receives/accepts). Huge difference between a "God" choice and a "good" choice. |

Originakalokalo:That was in the beginning of the world. God gave Adam wife after Adam blame God that is the woman you gave to me, now you have to do your home work and God guide. Apart from Adam who else history has it. |

There probably might not be a prophet involved. The truth is that another guy somewhere is out there for the lady. When we want to cheat people , that is when we start mentioning God. To we Africans , God and Religion have been tools to cheat , deceive , dupe, ....... and to not take responsibilities for our action when we do wrong. My guy , move on. , |

somehow: Go back and focus on verse 14. Empty spiritual arrogance can kill you spiritually |

somehow: Go back and focus on verse 14. This time, read between the lines with spiritual understanding and spiritual humility. Empty spiritual arrogance can kill you spiritually |

MuttleyLaff: And what stops you from pasting the scripture you quoted here also? Why accuse another of what you are guilty of? What manner of spiritual hypocrisy is that?! |

Why should I focus on 14 while ignoring verse 1-13? Is this how you people read Bible? Ignoring the general story just to pick a part that can be easily twisted to suit your narative? Abraham instructed the servant not to take a wife for Isaac from some tribes/countries (choice 1), but go to his kindred (choice 2) to pick a wife. Servant also went and made a choice with God's direction (via prayer) that whoever gives him and his donkey water should be the bride. (Choice 3). God answered his prayers but all choices were made by Abraham and the servant. There was no where God directly chose for him nor anyone else except the harlot in the case of that prophet which was a symbolic marriage God endorsed to send a message to the sinning Israel then. Bro, God has given us the power to choose between light and darkness but said it's better (advise) we choose light to live than darkness which is death. Salom! adetayo234: 2 Likes |

adetayo234:"2When he returned, he said to his father and mother, “I have seen a Philistine woman in Timnah; now get her for me as my wife.” 3His father and mother replied, “Isn’t there an acceptable woman among your relatives or among all our people? Must you go to the uncircumcised Philistines to get a wife?” But Samson said to his father, “Get her for me. She’s the right one for me.” - Judges 14:2-3 I suggested you paste Genesis 24:14 here and to let's self examine it together, to see, if the power of choice resided or not, with Eliezer but since you're eager on Judges 14:2-3, and have humbly asked to see it pasted here, I have obliged you |
Re: Does God Choose A Spouse For You? by adetayo234: 3:40pm On Nov 18, 2018 |
MuttleyLaff: Genesis 24:14 14 May it be that when I say to a young woman, ‘Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink, and I’ll water your camels too’—let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master.” People keep throwing lies about the place and they even express the lie in a factual manner |
Re: Does God Choose A Spouse For You? by adetayo234: 3:48pm On Nov 18, 2018 |
somehow: Oga, there is no shalom anywhere. This thing is falsehood. Verses 1 to 13 do not render 14 useless. Read that verse 14 again. God did choose a wife for Isaac. This time, read with humility. I've pasted it below Genesis 24:14 14 May it be that when I say to a young woman, ‘Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink, and I’ll water your camels too’—let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master.” People keep throwing lies about the place and they even express the lie in a factual manner. Stop spreading utter falsehood, oga. |

In the book of Genesis God caused adam to sleep and eve was formed from his rib. When he woke up he said that this is the bone of my bone. Now if truly God is omniscient like we claim then God truly knows who is made for you. The mind of man is so limited that there are some things he can't just know. Remember that is the carnal man is moved by sensory perceptions. He is moved by what he sees feels and hears. He pays little or no attention to the inward man. There are various ways God can choose to reveal his choose life partner at the right time God would create avenues for you to meet the right person in the right place when your mind is at rest. Remember that the bible says that be still and know that I am God..if people would learn not to engage in pre marital sex they would understand what it means for them to have their spiritual senses alert in discerning who is the perfect will of God them #God bless you all 1 Like |
