I usually Flirt and have Sex, but later I confess my sins to the Lord.
Mainly because I don't want to go to Hell or get Pregnant. Grin

More like a routine I guess, no intention to stop.

Well in order to answer your question, we have to define flirt. Webster's dictionary lists it below as:

Quote
to court triflingly or act amorously without serious intentions; play at love; coquet. 
2. to trifle or toy, as with an idea: She flirted with the notion of buying a sports car. 
3. to move with a jerk or jerks; dart about: butterflies flirting from flower to flower. 
–verb (used with object) 4. to give a sudden or brisk motion to; wave smartly, as a fan. 
5. to throw or propel with a toss or jerk; fling suddenly. 
–noun 6. Also, flirter. a person who is given to flirting. 
7. a quick throw or toss; sudden jerk or darting motion

Well that gives us an answer and the answer is yes. Don't take it past what it is.

It depend on  what you call flirt as Christian .for instance having a drink in the club with your old friends or new friends in not a flirt as for me ,but if you talk about going out a every time to  and going home late and carrying girls up and down ,that is one is not good for any person Christian believe .


Though i  flirt but i depends

ah! lustful men can see through those clothes covering the gals in your 'whats the point' pic? if only i can dig it up.

i fear oh! that one pass xray vision Grin



I said earlier that I'm sure rape and sexual immorality are also obtainable in cultures where women cover up totally
Can you explain that ?
a man with lustful eyes can imagine what's underneath the covering.
I have a good friend from turkey,very beautiful lady who wears a hijab but wears form fiiting clothes just like Iranian girls.
The scarf will not ward away a man with wondering eyes.
That's just my point.
Without a circumcision of the heart,man is hopeless.
Meanwhile,how's our little man?
He needs a little sister now Smiley

Flirting is a sin irespective of ones religion or sex. A genuine believer in God should not have lust in his or her heart. Any genuine man will always seek to protect the beauty, the chastity of our women and not to drag it down through lustful glances, thoughts, words, and motives. Equally, a genuine woman should awaken in men the desire for purity, and the burning urge to protect all that is pure from being soiled in any way. Thus her thoughts, her dressing, her glances and indeed every stiring of her soul should radiate beauty and chastity. True women should awaken in men the urge to serve God.

What is wrong with flirting?

I don't see anything wrong to be honest

Is it wrong for a Christian to have sex?

Is it right for a Christian to masturbate or wank?

Is it wrong for a married Christian woman to give her husband blowjob?

I see that people are finding it difficult to define flirting in order to deduce whether it is right or wrong for christians to indulge in. In the first place I believe that the poster should have asked whether it is "right" or "wrong", not whether it is okay. Being "okay" makes it a subjective issue and the fact is that with christianity, nothing is subjective.

Anyways I think this answers the question:
1Thessalonians 5:21-23:-  {KJV}

 21Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

 22[b]Abstain from all appearance of evil. [/b] the appearance, NOTE!

 23And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

@ Topic
Definitely NO!

It's a dicey question. But reality is that as TRUE christians we are not supposed to flirt in any way. We may give a whole lot of excuses and try to blame it on all-what-not even get a Bibilical backing for it; but the truth remains that it is both Socially, culturally, spritually and morally wrong.

It's just the mundanities of this world that push us all to these things; they really do not make good sense. God help us all. Amen

Hi

well for me i see it this way

for the unsaved, flirting which leads one to have sex, is normal for them

but for the new men in Christ, just depend on the Spirit of Christ in you who will enable you to apply the scripture "Abtain from all appearance of evil" for you Know na God create the interest in us for the opposite sex but the flesh wants to abuse it so please depend on Christ to enable u apply his word appropriately.

You have to define flirting.

If in involves inapropriate touching, lewd and crude jokes, seeing each other as nothing but piece of meat to be devoured, then you guys are operating in lust. I no dey for that one o, in fact carry go!

As a single Christian person there is a way to be appreciative of the opposite sex and enjoying their company without being slutty, a dog or disrespectful and you also have to know when to draw the line(self control).

If you are fine, if you are single, if you have a good head on your shoulder and you are respect-personified, mama will flirt with you. (Wicked grin and rubbing hands)

@ Topic
the key words in the post: Okay, Christian, Flirt
Sincerely, I haven't heard of a more contradictory statement for a long time
Simply put, YOU CANNOT BE A CHRISTIAN AND A FLIRT AT THE SAME TIME.
You may be permitted if you are not a child of God, anyway.
It's a matter of choice

just to remind us that we are humans and it is only natural for certain desires and thoughts to cross our minds,but as a christian in order not to yeild to those desires and thoughts which are most times misleading, we should renew our minds daily and also crucify our flesh, and most of all  sincerely ask for God's grace because 'let he that thinks he standeth take heed'
its not easy, but God will help us all.

No, I don't think it is. Flirting is mostly associated with sexual things so flirting is like saying you want to get them into bed or something and if they're not your wife/husband, you have no business insinuating you'D like to bed them. At least that's what the Bible says.
