Should Earth marriage affect my soul in the afterlife?

Question

Agnostic here, not wanting to convert anyone, anyone is free to answer but I'm not converting to any other religion.

I have a wife, who believes in Jesus, but in reincarnation, and believes I'm her soul mate, but that she will be reborn and have other husbands or wives, thus more than one soul mate.

I don't believe in reincarnation, but I am of the belief my soul travels to the stars above after I die.

Can my soul meet up with my wife, and other persons, whom I love while I was on Earth?

Can my soul meet up and date other women in space? Can my soul brink beer from a beer volcanoe after I die with other men and women?

What does your heart tell you?

Answer 1

My heart tells me that we will all have fellowship, and if that includes beer and bonfires, then that's cool :)

Answer 2

Great question. I asked my husband, who is a christian, if he thought I would be in heaven with him even though I didn't believe. He said it wouldn't matter because (and I'm paraphrasing) that we would all be so caught up in worshipping God/Jesus that we wouldn't care about anyone else like that. Or, that we would, but it wouldn't be like a marriage relationship.

Now personally, if there were a heaven, I wouldn't want to go there and be brushed off by the one person that would make the afterlife matter to me. That wouldn't be heaven at all. If there were a heaven, I would hope our souls could find one another and continue the love we had while alive. The beer volcano just wouldn't be much fun without my soulmate(s)!!

What does my heart tell me? That there is no afterlife. But I sure do hope I'm wrong!!

Answer 3

Jesus answered this question , He said " there is no marriage in heaven" This soul mate business , while nice, is not Biblical or Christian. Tell your wife to read Matthew 22 vs23 to 30.

Your wife seems confused about Christianity, Jesus has also told us not to be unequally yoked together. Disobeying God and being joined with a Atheist is a life of strife for the true believer.

It seems she's involved with mid eastern mysticism , reincarnation and all. I will pray for her.

Answer 4

I believe in reincarnation, and with your conflicting beliefs I can't really make a good judgement on whether or not you will meet up with her again.

In the frame of reference of reincarnation, I believe that we have a tendency to live our lives with a lot of the same people. So you may have known each other in a past life. (Although I don't believe soulmate necessarily applies to the person you fall in love with... a 'soulmate' could simply be a soul you knew in a past life. They could have been your aunt, best friend, sister, or grandmother for all you know!) From the standpoint of reincarnation it is very likely that you will see each other again.

From your standpoint? I have no idea, LOL.

Answer 5

Your wife lives like this. if she belives in rencarnation because a Christian would not believe in that because it does not exist.

Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate

The only thing that will effect your after life is if you did or did not accept Jesus as your savior. Don't accept Him and you go to hell along with all the others who did not accpet Him. Accept Jesus as your savior, and you go to heaven with all the others who accepted Him as your savior. The term soul mate is just a an expression made my man and not by God.

Answer 6

There is no afterlife. God says that all are asleep in the grave until the resurrection when Jesus comes and the world ends - 1 Thessalonians 4. That is why there will be a resurrection in the first place because you are still in the grave upon that time.

Answer 7

I'd say, why settle for such little when you can have it ALL in heaven?
Everyone thinks they can't have beer in heaven. No one thinks that since in heaven, they will be powerful like God, they will have the ability to create a woman if so desired.
My heart tells me that heaven is the after life and heaven is a little bit of everything good you can think of and over and beyond! I believe that we will have assignments in heaven and we will see people we love and travel just like agnostic across the universe and rule over other beings.

Answer 8

My heart tells me.... I feel sorry for your wife.

Seriously. She believes in Jesus, but also in reincarnation? How'd she manage that? Poor dear. (OW! Who kicked me??)

You, at least you've got it narrowed down to one belief.

If I were her, I'd concentrate more on Jesus & less on coming back as a cat or some such. Then, I'd live the rest of life as a good witness to Christ, in the prayer that you'd be converted as well.

Tha's just me though.

Answer 9

My heart tells me I don't honestly know. I tend to think of soul mates in the here and now and not the there-after. I just don't know where my own soul is going so I can't tell anyone else where theirs is.

Answer 10

Earth Marriage does not affect your soul in the afterlife. It what you do with Jesus that does.

Answer 11

My view is that, when you die, your spirit (along with your experiences in this life) will be rejoined with itself.

The spirit which animates your present body is the same spirit that animates all life. At death, this spirit is released from the vantage point of your body, which it occupies simply to live and interact with other life. (Meaning "with itself in other disguises"!)

Spirit has no gender, so there's no dating and no women or men. Physical needs and urges are part of living in matter, and you won't have them in spirit.

You will, however, "meet up with" everyone and everything and you (as this universal spirit yourself) will share in all the experiences which have ever been had.

If "you" live again, it will be without memory of the experiences you had in this life, until "you" return again to your real form at that death--just as you now have no memory of any "previous" life.

(These words are in quotes because they aren't quite correct, and there's no equivalent word to express that thought. I say "you" because it won't be John Q. Public living "again", but rather spirit living again, with greater understanding because of the life you lived as John Q. Public. I say "previous" because time is a physical quality, not a quality of spirit.)

At death, you don't really "go" anywhere. You change. You're released from limited perception to perfect perception, from limited understanding to perfect understanding.
