   @ Royalty1able, Take it easy mate. When you went to school, you did one year level at a time, you didn’t learn everything in one day. You can also scare people with too much information too soon if they are new or non christian. This is called bible bashing i’m afraid. slow and steady wins the race. Please don’t take this the wrong way.

   The divorce rate is still about 50%, and Christian couples make up a lot of these. The easy excuse is that these couples werent grounded in Jesus enough, but I believe theres another reason: If youre ignoring reality enough to maintain a relationship with a being youve never seen, youre probably not paying enough attention to the spouse you see everyday.

   We have the power to become the sons of God, sons of God do not sin. If your born again Christian know who Gods made you! ! Jesus is so wonderful! Your a dynamo called to do greater works than Christ Jesus on this earth John 14:12, He is coming for a Church (we are the Church) without spot wrinkle or blemish. Ephesians 5:27. If you’ve got Christ in you your His hands and feet to this world Eph 5v30. If you’ve received the Holy Spirit your a temple, don’t share it with sin, lust etc.

   We are told to flee sin and resist the devil, flee the very appearance of evil. Thessalonians 5:22. Its not about trying in our own strength not to sin we do it because we have the nature of Christ and love the Lord. Its about always being conscious of the Holy Spirit and His voice, He’ll never lead us into sin, we choose not to, for young Christians they have to renew their minds with the Word. We must be clean vessels fit for the Masters use. 1 John chapters 1,2 and 3. And John 1v12.

   When we became born again John 3 then we were made the righteousness of God, new creations 2 Corinth 5v17 given a new spirit, and so if we have received the Holy Spirit then we are completely empowered by God to walk right with Him and not sin. Romans 6. If we live life doing whatever we want and expect God to forgive us for everything and do it again and expect forgiveness its not going to happen the Bible clearly warns us so many times about not insulting the grace of God.

   Hiya, Its wisdom to know the Word of God and foolishness not to study it for our walk with Him, because we want to please our Father in heaven and mature to sons of God. “We are all human, and therefore we sin” is an excuse. We were made able not to sin and able to have a perfect relationship with God through Jesus Christ, to say because we are human is an excuse. Why would God say not to sin if He hadn’t given us the ability not to?

   We are all human, and therefor we sin, we will never be able to have a perfectly holy relationship till we are with God.

    You’re all insane. Stop believing in dumb fairy tales already. There was no such thing as “Jesus”. And if you black people are so christian then stop being so materialistic, arrogant and violent.

    In a multitude of COUNSEL there is safety. we dont always have the answers… but the counsellor (God, or your pastor) does. we dont want to lean to our own understanding, but seek counsel from the Lord… if HE is guiding us (not our opinions, ideas, our flesh, etc) we will not go wrong and make mistakes we later regret. God is not the author of confusion, either lol. And lastly, like my pastor tells us (esp. for the ladies), set ur affection on things above & all these things will be added!

    I understand this very well. The whole thing about people telling you God told them something is a mind game. I’m a very young christian woman and a 53 yrs old man told me God said I was going to be his wife. I look at him and walked away. People will say anything to try to get next to you.

    The problems of Christian dating are the same as non-Christian dating, the key is finding someone who is honestly on the same page as you rather than someone pretending to be. If God tells anyone a certain person is their husband/wife I do not believe it can be so unless he also tells the other party. God is a God of order. He doesn’t do drama, He is clear and plain. If in doubt just keep praying rather than rush down the isle. If it’s meant to be God will bring that person back around

    It’s only by really getting to know someone that you can glean as to whether they are striving to live their lives in a Christian fashion. There is so much pressure on young Christians to live perfect dating lives and many struggle with sexual sin etc but there is no open forum to talk about it. Those struggling are also in church with those who are stronger/longer in the faith and often try to ‘live up’ to the super spiritual. It’s a case of people not being themelves just like in the World.

15. cocochic1 Says:

    There are two parts to being a Christian – 1. Accepting Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour/. 2. Loving your neighbour (doing as to others…). It is at 2 that people fall short. Some ‘Christians’ do not know how to treat people period, let alone dating. Just because someone is a Christian it does not make them good. All I can say is that the person says they are a believer. So Christians are often disappointed by other Christians behaviour (male and female) as they expect more.

16. LeleeLyons Says:

    Its all the same. The only difference is one is spiritual and the other is not. These leaders use “God” to lure women in their little world, especially if they dont know Christ. Thats why i treat them all the same.

18. SaintJohn86 Says:

    The problem is that people that say they are Christians really are not because if they were they would be serving God and letting God guild them to the right mate instead of trying to help God out. Also, with the women that say God told them that a certain man was theirs that is a lie because a man chooses the wife and the wife chooses the husband, the bible says he that find a wife find a good thing, not a woman find a husband, woman are suppose to be patience waiting on God.

    Take care

    I agree with Kowhai86 – “it’s harder for christians that r dating because they have high expectaions put on them. you do something wrong like sexually with your partner and you feel guilt and are disgusted by your actions” < –happened to me recently

20. blrgrl Says:

    Amen to that! After many years of dating, and having my heart broken recently by another Christian, it made me realize that I really need to stabilize my relationship w God before I can date.

    So true – I just got dmped by a Christian musician and it was poison in many ways because it felt like Satan was doing alot of things to get in the way of us centering our relationship around God. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi – this is so true. Along with being celibate, I am seriously considering not kissing until marriage – kisses may seem harmless, but it can affect women more so than men, imo. Thanks for sharing.

23. cocochynel Says:

    Ok to be honest marriage is only designed for those who are truly saved in Jesus Christ. Why do I say that? We are suppose to be a reflection of Christ and the Church which is the ideal marriage. But because we have allowed the world to shape what a relationship is. Women are suppose to wait! He who finds ladies not she who finds..and then at that He who finds a wife! A woman that is single should cleave to wise women of the church for direction and exercise marriage responsibilities singlely.
