Christian and Bible take on " Twin Flames ".

[RainySunflower]

Pure curiosity topic .... I have a question.

But first let me define what a " Twin Flame " is , for people who don't know.

​

Okey , pretty much okey definition, just for you to get a point.

Or in picture way:

Now when we defined it , I have some questions:

1. As my understanding goes - we are on Earth " after fall " and when we die , after some time , we return to " state before the fall ". Should be about true ?

2. And point of this topic - we know Eve was created from Adam's rib. Does this mean that everyone on planet has someone who was created from their rib ( maybe not literally ) in state before the fall ? Or to make it more simple: is there literal Eve ( female twin flame counterpart ) for every Adam ( guy ) on Earth ?

Thanks.

No, I think there are many potential ideal mates, or even less than ideal, but compatible mates. The rib use was a one-off, to indicate how the genetic code would render humans alike and yet with different genders. A similarity of genetic construction would, I think, indicate a relative, and not necessarily compatibility.

I don't know if we return to our original construction after redemption. It makes sense that after the Fall we are restored. But I think humanity was designed to develop linearly, such that instead of returning to origins, we develop into some kind of final product.

In other words, Adam and Eve were never intended to remain in their original construction, except as sinless beings. Instead, they were designed to partake of the Tree of Life and evolve, after multiplication, into something that no longer multiplies.

Once the earth is filled, there is no longer any need for sexual reproduction. What that will be I don't have a clue.

Greek mythology is not a pattern for natural creation. . .all do not return to "state before the fall."
Only those in Christ through faith in and trust on the atoning work (blood, Ro 3:25) and person of Jesus Christ for the remission of their sin and right standing with God; i.e., "not guilty," declared righteous (justified), return to the righteous state before the fall.

No, origins of life (i.e., the very first one by God's direct creation) are not the pattern for continuation of anything.
Upon origin, everything then proceeds according to the laws of nature, where the word of God written presents no "other half" of any human being.

It's a soul tie. While they're commonly applied to romantic connections you can develop the same in platonic bonds. The catalyst is shown in the text. Love was the glue that bound them.

In respect to the question, the bible provides two examples of pairings to draw from beyond the first. Some unions were arranged by others and some were orchestrated by the parties themselves. A third iteration exists for specific purposes like Hosea and Gomer. But when viewed against the whole that wasn't the norm.

This does not suggest an omission of divine providence in our selections. Nor does it support mythological teachings or Judaic beliefs (bashert) along those lines.

[Aaron112]

Do not look for nor serve zeus or any other dead god.
Twinflame is forbidden to discuss because it is totally false and brings death believing in it or serving it. It has no benefit, only death and separation from Jesus, and opposition to Truth.

No, since if we read the epistles of St. Paul we find that many Christians are called to Holy Celibacy.

That said, if you are lonely, I would not despair but pray to Christ our True God asking that he send his Holy Spirit to guide you to where you shall feel completeness just as He feels completeness in unity with the Father and Holy Spirit.

I would suggest avoiding materials related to Greco-Roman Paganism, not because that religion was worse than the other non-Christian religions, but rather, because the cultural context of Hellenic mythology is often very complicated, and the doctrines of their beliefs varied widely, and much of it consisted of fables promulgated by philosophers and poets in order to make a moral point or speculate on the nature of reality, as opposed to actual religious dogma, while still other aspects of it, for example, the various oracles used drugs or hallucinogenic vapors to enter a trance, which is of course an occult practice which Christians should avoid.

Really, the early Church Fathers comment on the most edifying aspects of ancient Hellenic culture, whereas the rest is relevant only if one wishes to make an academic study of the classics, which is a legitimate pursuit, but not something to be treated casually.

I hope this post is helpful to you. God bless you.

 

[ViaCrucis]

"In the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage"

The earthly bonds we form here matter, they matter a great deal. God is deeply concerned with inter-human relations, because human beings were created for relationship, for community, for communion. So we should not imagine that the relationships we form here in this life don't ultimately matter, or lack eternal significance, because they do. The people with whom we share communion with today will continue to matter into eternity. That includes the relationships between husband and wife, parent and child, those between friends, and of course, our mutual fellowship together with one another in the Body of Christ. There won't be marriage, or pair-bonding, in the Age to Come; but that doesn't mean that those relationships, and the love and the fruit of that love (most significantly, our children and the bonds we have with our children) ceases to exist, or won't matter. Because of course it matters. So rather than a loss of such things, all such love is magnified, and indeed glorified, in the resurrection and the newness of the Age to Come.

The idea of "soul mates" isn't a Christian idea. It's a certainly nice romantic notion, but taking it beyond sentiment to something more substantive involves troubling ideas about Fate (with a capital 'F'), which while very normal in ancient Paganism was something entirely rejected in Christianity as heretical and thoroughly at odds with the Christian view of the universe, of life, and of God. The bonds we form in this life are not caused by Fate, either extrinsically (such as by the stars) nor intrinsically (from some mystical interior reality of a bygone time); but rather the bonds we form in this life are the product of free volition done in love. Such volition is necessary in Christianity to a proper grounding of Christian ethics, and a Christian theology of human communion. It is from God's own free Self-giving of Himself, by which He loved us from before all ages and chose us in Christ, and came to us in Christ that we understand that our own created purpose is to love God and love our neighbor as our selves. To bear the Divine Image and Likeness means a free giving of ourselves. It is intentional love.

I do not have a soul mate, there is no other person who is "meant" for me; my soul is not incomplete without another half; nor was my humanity divided and I am only half a human. I am a broken human, a fallen human, lacking in much; but my fullness is found in Christ; and in Christ I am joined together with my fellow human beings; as God works to repair and heal and restore what was lost and broken by the Fall. In order that, in the end, we might become the complete man in Christ that God intends to make us; that's integral to God's work of renewing, healing, and redeeming the whole of creation. It's a central theme to the biblical story of salvation. That, in Christ, God should unite all things both in heaven and one earth. Thus I am not seeking my other half; but rather, God invites me, in Christ, to a free surrender of myself to others in love. And it is that which will bear fruit and significance in eternity.
