Why I Think Some Marriages fail Despite All Good Efforts To Make Them Work - Part 12

The key to understanding the importance of compatibility between people lie in the understanding of the composition of man. All religions and spiritual beliefs agree on the following facts: That man is a triune being. Meaning that man is spirit soul and body, and that all these three parts play a very vital role in man’s day to day life; his survival and the choices he makes. The following examples shall shed more light on my points. We say that with the Spirit man contacts and communicates with the Spiritual realm. And subsequently we believe that the Spiritual realm has two sides: The Good side and the bad side; the dark side and the light side, the desirable side and the undesirable side. And we know that given a choice no one would want to be identified with the negative side of the Spiritual realm. That is why we instinctively shy away from anyone who will tell us that they prefer being evil than being good. Now when it comes to religion we all believe that these two sides actually represent two beings; that is they represent God and satan or the devil.
Now this will lead us to saying that religion or any belief in any spiritual being; law or practice cannot be done without involving your spirit. That is why we have witnessed wars between Muslims and Christians in Nigeria , Lebanon
We all have to pay with our Spirits. Our Christian Bible says in Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. [and this portion does not say in the Christian way or Muslim way or pagan way] just in any way you wish they go, and they will not depart from it. This just shows us how deep our Spirits are, and that nothing but a serious seeking of a way out not influenced by anything else but just a pure thirst for a change can transform the condition of our spirits. I thank God for His saving grace because I believe that God as the creator of mankind is the only one who has that code of unlocking the Spirit of man and re-programming him according to His divine plans. Now when someone voluntarily comes to God for salvation without any hidden agenda or ulterior motives they will find salvation. But what about a person who goes through the ritual of confessing Jesus as saviour and in reality all they are after is to be married to someone who indicated their unwavering allegiance to Christianity. This is the same with all that I have mentioned above. And that is why Spiritual compatibility is of utmost importance. If I give up my spiritual beliefs I must do it with a clear un-pressurized, voluntary conscience knowing and willing to live with the any future consequences should there be any. Now giving up my faith so I can marry someone is not so voluntary as such. There is an ulterior motive behind it. These are laws of the Spirit.
This would bring us to the next point which is; which is the best religion. For a lack of a better word I have to use the word religion, but in fact religion is defined as man’s search for God. Religion is simply a means that men have designed to try and reach to “where ever” God is. But since these men are trying to look for a fairly existent individual called God it should not be that hard to find someone existing as if we are trying to materialize an idea. As a Christian I have a witness about God. After hearing the Gospel of how God created the heavens and the earth, and how He created man including all that we see. And being a very convicted Theologian, believing in Jesus as the only provision for redemption and having done my own researches on biblical facts and archaeology and having read written accounts by others on the reality of biblical places and excavations of the walls of Jericho; the resting place of Noah’s ark on mount Ararat in turkey. About the arena where Pilate sat when he sentenced Jesus; the via dolorosa; mount Golgotha and the final burial place of Jesus in Israel
And as I said earlier God wants all men to be saved, and salvation must always be a result of one accepting that they are far from God as a result of their sins both inherent and actively practiced and confronting their spiritual condition and lack of God in their lives. This is salvation in a nutshell. I am not sure therefore how one gets saved because they are confronted with marrying a believer in God and their only reason is so that they find acceptance in the presence of the one they adore. My reason for saying so is simply based on my observation of similar cases. And I must also confess that some of such cases have worked out so well that they would actually contrast with my theory. To be continued. MVK
