that sounds like rib doctrine to me...

Branhamite doctrine maybe?

False doctrine!

I knew of a guy that was musician and he married a gal that didn't like picking of course he said he married the wrong woman, but there was nothing spiritual about it.

Sister,
Do they have Scripture that they twist to teach this "rib doctrine"
or is it some kind of "revelation"?

Thanks,
Nina

pardon me but this is a subject that sets me on edge. I know an IDIOT, and yes he is that, who said this very thing. He left his wife and their two beautiful daughters and married a girl that was many years younger than him. They now pastor a church because his pastor at that time would not sanction his actions. I do not know what scriptures, if any, he used to back it up. Personal opinion is that it was not scripturally based but more that he was just wanting a reason to leave his wife.
I have no idea what kind of church he pastors or if there are any that even go to it. They thing that got me most was the girls mother was all for it and excited. He was not even divorced and was already spending time at her house and taking her out because he know she was his Rachel. (not the girls name but a reference to him being married to the wrong woman. His first wife was his Leah. Thought he was some sort of Jacob I think)
Talk about the ignorant. They will justify anything that suits their lifestyle.

I was just going to post that when I saw that you already had.

I hadn't heard of that for a long time.
I think it taught that God intended a certain woman for each man and she was his designated "rib." If a guy was married to a woman and saw someone else and felt attracted to her, she might be his "rib." If his current wife was not his "rib" that meant that God had not actually joined them together so their marriage was not really valid in God's sight. If so, he could leave his wife and marry his "rib" because that was what God intended all along. At least that's how I understood it.

Use to always tell me, if it wasn't the will of God before you married someone, well it became the will of God after you did it.

Nina...there is ZERO scriptural support for the type of "spiritual marriage" you're referring to.

I don't know this person, but it makes me think someone might be looking for a spiritual justification to get out of their marriage and marry someone else.
