HumbledbYGrace: That[b][/b] was quiet a show!a round of applause bt its time some of u take a bow.I never mentioned marriage bt DATING.sorry I couldn't cum thru in da afternoon but here is wat my peers said @ skul wen I asked them regarding this Topic.


Reasons Christians Give For Dating Unbelievers

1
“If I date them they may come to Christ.”

This old standby is known as Missionary Dating. The logic here is that the unbelieving single girl or single guy the Christian is dating may become saved through their witness. What fuels this popular rationalization is that in very rare instances, this actually does occur.

2
“My boyfriend (girlfriend) is more moral than other Christians I’ve dated.”

This sad commentary on the evangelical Christian church is in line with findings that show there is no real difference in the sexual behaviour of Christians and unbelievers. For example, they find that 55% of Christian teens have sexual intercourse by the age of 18. We can only assume that this number rises as single Christians get older and have more opportunities.

3
“There are no available Christians in my church or area.”

We got this one alot. Either all the good Christian men or women are taken, or the only available single ones are geeks or whackos. I’m sure you’ve met a few of these, right?

Christians Struggling With Dating Unbelievers

If you are a single Christian struggling with this issue, take courage! We are certainly not judging anyone because most of us have already been through it. Listen, the Lord deeply loves you, but wants you to make decisions that will make Him proud and prosper you at the same time. So think about and pray over the following points before making any dating decisions in this area.

God Keeps His Promises

That means He will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches. (Phil. 4:19, Psalms 37:4). Surrender to Him as you wait expectantly on Him. You will not be disappointed, but remember he makes things all beautiful in His time, not yours. Can you handle that?

Why Settle for Second Best?

Yes, there are some nice people out in the world who are more moral and cuter than some Christians you know. So what? The fact is there are multiple thousands of godly, attractive and passionate Christian singles waiting on God for the same thing you are. Got faith?

Remember What God Says

Don’t mean to be preachy, but I tend to conveniently avoid those parts of the Bible that go against what I am planning to do. So before going headfirst into a pile of crap, check out these verses carefully: 1 Cor. 15:33, 2 Cor 6:14-16.

Have You Exhausted All Your Resources?

Many singles in the church who feel there is no other alternative to dating an unbeliever, may have not looked at other options of

where Christian singles meet other singles

.

If you are a Christian single who has further insights on dating unbelievers, please consider helping other singles by sharing your experiences.

Guitarlife: @mr dagr8, I must confess I am not as versed as you think I am . But I believe the most important thing to hold on to is precedence rather than inference.
I showed two precedences but you believe it's still ok to base your judgement on inference ?
I must admit my dream is to settle down with a good christian lady, with a good voice and an unparralleled interest in music cos that is my calling.
But this is not enough reason to pretend as if the bible does not accomodate those whose beliefs are quite different from mine.
The bible must be told the way it is not the way we think it should be otherwise the stories of indiscretion of great men like david and abraham would have been edited.
I hope this is clear enough. @bella are you single ? Lol.

HumbledbYGrace: Mr Guitar,hope u play ur guitar to glorify him.M single but not available!Anyway was adding or substituting anything from da bible but dude I don't SETTLE FOR LESS.@ my church we are allowed to date until ur sure u wanna marry dat person but my sister dates sum nt from da same church bt both born again christians.It has nufin to do with the pastor but are u faithful enuf to God and treat ur body as his temple while dating?

By da way I read da whole thread my brother ur still inlove with material things of ths earth

dagr8:

wats d meaning of dat?

Guitarlife: Oh I forgot, christians are not allowed to engage in loose discussions.
I only asked a decent question and for crying out loud, get some sense of humour.
@bella, please can you sing ? Do you have a sonorous voice? I hope you are not an unbeliever ?*winks*

Bélla3: i sound married right? I am a small baby ooh.

HumbledbYGrace: @Guitarlife! Ur still looking?hope u find one soon so that u won't b under da department of singles affairs

Guitarlife: You still haven't answered the question but do not allow mr dgr8 know that you responded o. You can just whisper it I am all ears. And trust me my ears are quite big. Hehehee

HumbledbYGrace: Oh!m sorry but u asked me if m single!didn't Jesus warn us not to judge others?

"Dear lord pls forgive me for judging others tonight,It wasn't purposefully bt logically I did.lead me not into temptation and deliver all da posters from evil,ha hobe joalo ka ha re kopa.in jesus name Amen"

Bélla3: hahaha..*whispering* Lol, am single. Everyone is telling me am too young. Is it true?;-(

HumbledbYGrace: My pastor won't tell me wen to date mxm
I hv reasons y m single don't terrorise me

Guitarlife: *whispering* how can I know whether you are too young or not when you have not told me your age and your profile picture doesn't either.
So how old are you? Or maybe you can tell me your shoe size I will calculate your age from there. I heard there's a formula to that intent .

Bélla3: hahaha*whispering* my mummy will spank me.

Guitarlife: I heard she does that every day and that you have grown a thick skin too. I'm quite surprised you are using that as an alibi. Ok maybe you want me to go first . I wouldn't mind isn't age just a number ? So should I ? If you consent then you are under obligation to state yours too. Lol.

Bélla3: well, i love the fact that am anonymous on NL. I'll send you a private email.

Guitarlife: kkk, so we are agreeing twice in 6 hour's huh ? I'd say interesting. But why are you up this late ?

Bélla3: yea, interesting. i slept in the day time for more than four hours. Sleep has fled from me.

Guitarlife: Good maybe you could help me stay up. I have exams and I have so much to read up on but my eye lids are beginning to kiss themselves.

musKeeto: Kai, this people don mad finish.. *drags out keyboard and starts playing 'this is love*
