Christian or not, the truth must be told!!! not matter the presentation style @ otokx. forget my person just think if what u r doing can be done if christ were in ur position; thats what I call christianity period!!! Sin is sin wether it is noticed by christians or non-christian. Let the Bible guide u thats all! am not a preacher but it will be a shame if I straight out this much more than most pastors that are just out to make membership and all If i were a pastor in this age maybe I would have only three members in the church  |

I will not use that if I am born again mind you!!! all am saying is people are looking for easy ways to go to heaven when it is already said that the road is rough and narrow!
Jesus' walk to calvary was not a smooth one and he did not look for easier ways; y'al must have seen the passion of the christ. so when u do things that the sinners do, God can't send them to hell and welcome u to heaven!!! it don't work that way

Can you picture a janitor standing over a surgeon in the operating room and telling him where to cut open the patient's heart? Come back and tell us your opinion of christian dating WHEN you become a christian, thank you. |

@ consultant I just gat one line for ya;
Do not, I mean do not ever call yourself a christian if u do the same thing I (being the sinner here) do. Thats what the thread is about.
Aint nothing wrong in letting y'al know that the difference exists btwn christians and sinners right? The sinners are not seeing that difference if u commit 'their sin' and in most cases do it worse than sinners.
This stuff encourages the most talked about attrocity in the Bible - fornication and adultery. Christian dating is just the devil's type meant for the so-called christians and as far as it is known, it is working!!!
And I consider that a crying shame period!!!

@ Cabali, This thread is about why christian dating is so difficult. How would you know the answer to that if you are not a christian? You don't have to have an opinion about everything you know. Anyway, if you had taken time to read the whole post before sounding off on your opinions (which i repeat, is of no value to me because i don't see you as qualified to tell me your opinion on this matter), then you would know how i feel about dating. See my previous post below: Dating: This is slightly more serious than going out, but again is a trial and error method of finding a life partner. The basic principle of dating is that you find the right "one" by trying out a number of relationships to see which one fits best, kind of like pressing all the loaves of bread in a supermarket aisle in order to pick out the freshest one. Again for christians, i would say no to this. Why? See below. Now back to why i favor courtship over dating. First, dating by nature, encourages trial and error. It's message is, "if it doesn't work, just move on". Unfortunately, emotionally, its not that easy to just pack your bags and move in and out of relationships. It is hurtful and very painful for the parties invloved.
I also think dating psychologically prepares people for divorce. Once you get used to packing up and moving on once there is a problem in a relationship, then it becomes that much easier to do it after marriage.
My third reason is practical. If you are a christian, who firmly holds on to the Bible's admonition to avoid sex before marriage, then you have no business dating. Sexual abstinence is not the easiest thing in the world. An 18 year old christian, who is not ready for marriage but starts to date is much more likely to have premarital sex than someone who waits till they are nearing the age of marriage - say 21 or 22 and then prayerfully and carefully enters into a relationship with the intention of marrying this person - if all works out well. Then you have a clear purpose, and both persons in the relationship are working towards a similar goal, and the courtship is just long enough to know each other well, but not so long that the pressures of abstinence become too much to bear.
Clearly from my previous posts, i do not support the doctrine of some churches that do not allow courting members to have private time to get to know each other well. Going out together, spending time discovering each other's likes and dislikes, hopes and dreams, and goals in life (outside of the pastor or elder's gaze) are all important parts of the courting process. Marriage is both spiritual and physical, therefore finding a life partner should also be done by using both your spiritual and physical senses. |

U are not supposed to like my opinion because I will not be the one to be on that white throne on judgement day! I am only underlying what I know i true biblically; if u are not christlike completely, don't ever call yourself a christian or the bride of christ!
What would christ do? Would he get involved in dating? Did he do that when he was here? answere those questions in ur heart and stop spending time and posts saying whether my posts are liked!!!
I do not post for people to like me or what I say! the post was not meant to impress u so, check the questions above and answere them in ur quiet time with the holy spirit. I don't even want the answers on this thread because on judgement day, U will be alone and so will all of us period!!!

Why Christian dating is so difficult? Ever heard of people rubbing minds together? Until they both get to know where they'r coming from, they can't see where they're going. And mind you, non-Christian dating can be as tedious.  |

In other words, there isnt any difference between christian and non-christian dating?; Give me a break!!! There is a clear difference between the devil and Christ so I think I expect a difference between what the followers of both do! abi?

@cabali,
I didn't sound like I was making the devil and Christ the same, abi?
And I certainly didn't state that there is no difference between christian and non-christian dating, abi?
Thing is, it isn't only Christian dating that is difficult.

Trust me it is only Christian dating that is difficult and thats because there isnt supposed to be dating for xtians in the first place.
non-xtians can be on it because it is for them.
