SOULMATES DO NOT EXIST...NEED PROOF??? READ 1st Timothy 5:14

Soulmates dont exist. PERIOD. The Satanic soulmate doctrine has spread throughout churches seemingly undetected. Its because Satan is using camouflage to make his deceptions appear to be of God. Satan and his demons are responsible for starting the soulmate doctrine. I recently discovered that the soulmate doctrine doesnt line up with God's Word. I seek to put to silence this Satanic deception. Please read 1st Timothy 5:14...The apostle Paul says in this verse that widows under the age of 60 should remarry. That verse is PROOF that soulmates dont exist because nobody could ever remarry if God created a "soulmate" or "specific person" for each of us. Even i believed the soulmate doctrine until i realized it wasnt based on scripture. The soulmate doctrine is the work of Satan and his demons. Satan is using camouflage to make us think that his ways are of God. Indeed, the soulmate doctrine seems harmless at first. However, nothing could be farther from the truth. Satan came up with this soulmate idea because he knew it would deceive many people...his goal is to destroy family...and even prevent it. Satan is using the soulmate doctrine to make people think they cant be with someone unless they have some supernatural approval from God. However, ive never read nor heard of any verse in God's Word that says to ask for such approval. What im trying to say is this...
FIND A DECENT CHRISTIAN PERSON THAT DESIRES TO BE MARRIED AND STOP SEARCHING FOR A SOULMATE THAT DOESNT EVEN EXIST!!!
Anyone who still believes in soulmates after reading this is just being ignorant of the truth...and fulfilling what 1st Timothy chapter 4:1 says..."Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons"
WE HAVE AN ENEMY WHO IS TRYING TO STEAL, KILL, AND DESTROY...
PRAISE GOD THAT I FINALLY KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND CAN SHARE IT!!! :)
If this testimony frees you up then please send me a message so i will at least know that it wasnt in vain. Thanks :)

I agree with you! Now one thing we need to be careful is to marrying to an unbeliever:
---> (2 Corinthians 6:14): "14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?"
I've also heard many stories about happy married couples and then having their relationship destroyed because one of them thought that "had finally found their soulmate" and in the end, they regret what they did.

Sorry I feel your the verse you used is lacking as proof. However I agree with you that the idea God created only one person to be your mate and it is up to you to find them or wait until God brings them is a bizarre idea. Yet on the other hand we cannot discount Gods will in who to marry and there are just some people we feel a instant connection to for who knows what reason.

This is for those people who said that this argument is not true.
:stop:"20 Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife; and dying, he left no offspring. 21 And the second took her, and he died; nor did he leave any offspring. And the third likewise. 22 So the seven had her and left no offspring. Last of all the woman died also. 23 Therefore, in the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be? For all seven had her as wife.�
24 Jesus answered and said to them, 'Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God? 25 For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven." (MARK 12:20-25)
Now nobody can say that we are talking what we want, because this Bible verse PROVES that there's no such thing called "soulmate" doesn't exist!

1. How do you define soulmate?
First I think whether or not people have "soulmates" depends on how you define it. Simply discussing and finding a definition of soulmate we could all agree on would probably take a whole thread by itself.
Just look up the term in some online dictionaries . . . I spent a few minutes doing just that and I came up with at least a dozen definitions right off the bat.
2. Does the Bible condemn the concept of soulmates?
Again this depends on how you define soulmate . . .
In regards to the scripture cited to support the "demonic" unbiblical doctrine of soulmates, I think those verses are being taking out of context. In a plain natural reading of the text, I would not think "soulmates are evil!!" or "soulmates don't exist!"
For example, even if you define soulmate in the strictest sense of God creating one person for you and you alone for life then you could endless examples both biblical and otherwise of people who stayed married for life, were happy, and believed God in all-knowing, all-powerful nature created them for one another. An easy example is Adam and Eve. God literally created Eve for Adam and Adam for Eve. So does the Bible reject the idea of soulmates? No!
In the garden God created Adam and God saw that it was not good for him to be alone even though Adam was in constant fellowship with Him. God created Eve to be with Adam and Adam for Eve!
3. Does everyone have a soulmate?
The simple answer is "no".
There are plenty of examples of great faithful men and women of God who never married like Mother Theresa or the Apostle Paul. For some people God grants the gift of singleness so they can better focus on the purpose God has for them. For the sake of argument say A is desperately looking for his soulmate and dies never finding her. Does this mean God did not intend for him to be with someone for his life? No! Like I said, God gave us free will and because of that we choose to sin and now we live in an imperfect world! Does that mean that God is not sovereign? No! A could have missed could on that person for any number of reasons or God may have had a different plan for him and he was too focused on his search than on following after Christ.
Does God give good things to them that ask? Yes! Is a soulmate a good thing? I would say yes!
4. Can you be happy marrying someone who isn't your soulmate?
I believe so! As fallen human beings how can we know for certain whether we marry the one God has for us? Not certain at all! Does that prevent God from intending us to marry someone else? No! Does that mean we cannot choose to love someone else and make things work even though they aren't the best person for us? No! So yes I believe you can happy with someone other than your soulmate but I do not believe this prevents God from making someone just for you.
5. In a perfect world would everyone have and find their soulmate?
Yes and No. There are two examples of a perfect world that come to mind (a) the garden of Eden before The Fall and (b) Heaven. In the first instance we see God creating Eve for Adam and since they were the only two people around at the time I say everyone had a soulmate! In Heaven God in His Word says that we will not be doing the marriage thing so I guess in that instance God would be everyone's soulmate. :yay:
I personally believe that God in His Providence made someone just for me. Will I ever know for sure apart from direct divine revelation from God? Probably not, I'm not God I don't know everything! Will I find my soulmate in this life? I hope so!
Don't be bitter about not having found that person to share your life with because whatever we may think, want, or feel God has a perfect plan for us and gives us a hope and a future!
The important that my focus is not on searching for my soulmate or for someone to "complete" me, but on Christ who completes me completely! Because even if I have my soulmate and everything else I ever wanted and do not have Him then I am nothing!

Alright, I'll be the broken record and repeat myself twice. Soul mate originates from pagan mythology. Apparently, way way way back Thor (or one of those angry gods) decided that man as a duo was becoming too powerful. Man was stuck together in twos. So the gods separated them and scattered every man's soul mate across the ends of the earth. So they spent their whole lives in search of their other half instead of messing with the gods important affairs.
So, soulmate is not even a valid concept for Christians. I know I've said it before, but just thought to repeat myself.

Live,
You make an interesting point. I was already generally familiar with the myth you described and I was curious to know how many other cultures have soulmate type stories incorporated into their mythologies. The short answer is a lot. Everywhere from China to Egypt to Israel to Greek to the Vikings and the list goes on.
The actual word soulmate from what I can tell is relatively new first appearing early in the 19th century and became much popular in the middle of the 20th century with the rise of the greeting card industry (go figure :rolleyes:).
The details of each myth vary but the essence of each relates to an event where an original state of unity was split or separated into two complementing parts. Practically all of the cultures include this concept in their creation myths.
As Christians we know the true and original story of creation in Genesis where God created Adam and then took a rib from Adam to create Eve. In other words the unified whole (Adam) was split (the rib) by God which resulted in the creation of another being (Eve). Sound familiar?
Another example of virtually every culture adopting a Biblical event into their mythology is The Flood. You would be surprised at the number of cultures around the world that incorporate a story of a huge flood used to bring judgement upon the people.
The fact that so many cultures include these biblical events into their mythology points to a common biblical origin. As Christians we believe in the accuracy of scripture which means both the events of creation and the flood came first before all the other cultures formed and developed their mythologies.
When God confused the common language of the people at the Tower of Babel, the groups scattered and filled the earth taking the stories and accounts of creation with them. Of course with many of the scattering cultures having long abandoned the one true God, the original events were distorted until they became the common myths we have in the various cultures today.
So you could actually trace back the idea of soulmates back to Genesis through the spread of the various mythologies all the way to the beginning of civilization!
