'Plasticine Porters': letting God lead

the depth of repentance and couples

The journey with God is anywhere God wants to take us.

 

It begins with taking a long honest and calm look at the relationship.

 

The beginning is seeing the true state of the relationship, and making choices based on that.

 

The alternative, so easy to do, is assume what-one-wants is the way the relationship should go.

But it is never about what we want but what the relationship wants -- what God wants, for God is what is natural.

 

Lust carries us to old age. One has to stop everything and take stock, have a good look at oneself. But only being totally humble and asking your 'firmament' questions can one determine:

(1) with whom do I want to be

(2) what do I want to do?

(3) Who am I ?

Because the ego-map makes many people have many partners, a person in that position might feel a holy spirit not theirs.

 

(I know the Bible says that if anyone marries a divorced woman he commits adultery, and the disciples said then it is better not to marry. Was the Bible changed here thou? If it wasn't changed then if anyone finds their tribal mate in this life it would be just a fluke? Or, how could any young person have the wisdom to read the Bible and see one has to find a tribal mate?

Also if the Bible was not changed here, then everyong who repents must become celibate? But 1Thessalonians 1-9 says make love not in the lust of concupiscence but with honor and other.

There are many points to discuss here.

For example why would anyone add this rule or change the rule? Perhaps to make a very harsh and demanding rule that nobody, not even themselves, can live up to? More on this later. Let me just say the heart is extremely deceptive.)

 

Hence one has to be absolutely humble and honest with God, by deciding: to 'start over', to be a child again and ask the dumbest querstions, perhaps: ' How do I tie my shoelaces?'

Or: search one's heart for the right questions to ask.

The greater the spiritual trouble one is in, the nore one has to honestly petition God for help.
