We think alike... I actually anticipated this response. And re your earlier reply, I use to say... well if someone gets it wrong, then God knew that person would get it wrong and would have another person. But, I just don't think the omniscient God needs a plan B. He would have predetermined the right person (the one who would get it right)...
But, I question whether being in God's will simply means following His Word as written in the Old & New Testaments (Testament = Will). Re this topic, is it enough to marry someone who is equally yoked? Re life in general, is it enough to keep His commandments and live by His Word? I don't think so bc Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." So, if God knows the plans that He has for us, how could something as important as who we spend the rest of our lives with not be a part of His plan. Why would that be left up to us? Of course, He allows us to make the choice. But, shouldn't there be someone who He has already predetermined...
How so? Not sure if I'm getting what you're saying... how is it general? It's God's word vs what everyone else says. I go with what God says. But, maybe I'm not understanding what you're saying... expound pls.
Here's the thing -- It is easy for me to have faith when I know God said/promised it (even if seems impossible). But, when I don't know (whether the written Word or the still small voice), then it's hard simply bc I'm unsure not bc I doubt that He is able.
And, I looked at some other replies (although haven't had a chance to read them in their entirety and probably won't tonight since I am a very busy woman lol). Thank you for understanding that I have a question about something on which I am unclear and I would like to have a discussion based on our different interpretations of
the Word and/or our understanding and knowledge of God from what we've learned through His Word. I'm glad you get it.
