Ray – Thanks for this.
I know you did not say that the Scriptures teach that “opposites attract”.
I am a “people watcher”, and I understand that most people believe that “opposites attract”, whereas the truth of the matter is that “like attracts like”.
The way I see this is that if a person believes that opposites attract, they may start or stay in a relationship because of this; and the end result is likely to be a split because of their differences.
Am I wrong if I correct people who believe “opposites attract” by telling them “actually, that is not true, like attracts like”.
Regards, George.
Dear George: Give it up. Everybody wants to be a teacher, and everybody wants to prove me wrong. (Well, actually, only those who want to be teachers). That opposites attract is not only a fact of social behavior among men and women, (witness in Scripture the hundreds and thousands of Israelite men who worshiped the One True God, who were, nonetheless, highly attracted to heathen women who worshiped many gods), but it is also the most fundamental of physical phenomenon in quantum mechanics, and is one of the most basic of all laws in the universe.
So here:

Your argument is no longer with me.
God be with you,
