Again, you are still talking so as to make things personal and you are not using the Scriptures to address this topic and neither are you discussing the Scriptures I brought up. It's not difficult to do if you know the Word of God, my friend.
Again...the kid is trying to muster up the courage to ask a girl to the prom and you're insinuating that we are helping him be a less than virtuous young man in his approach to her. Are those polyester pants your wife made you itchy or something? Holy cow....at least you're entertaining.

When you say.... black and white. I am assuming you mean there is a shade of grey when it comes to morals. In other words, you believe that there is no moral absolutes for the believer. Is that what you are trying to say? No black and white? No definiteive good or evil? That there is a Kingdom somewhere between God's Kingdom and the devil's kingdom? Did you know that Jesus said you cannot serve two masters?
I'd explain it to you but based on past experience it would be wasted hours of endless jason0047 is the authority on scripture and nothing would change, you wouldn't get it and I could never get the time back so biblically speaking it is unwise for me to debate with you.....at least that is the nudge I get any way.

Again, there is nothing to worry about (or no courage to muster up) or nothing to blunder if she says... "no" because he cannot be with her in any capacity because she is not a believer in Jesus Christ. Believers are not to hang out with unbelievers and get close to them. For the Scriptures say do not be unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship does light have with darkness?

So it is better to just to express your opinions and thoughts instead of the Word of God? Are we in the Opinions Section or the Bible Discussion Section?

If you read the entire thread the young man didn't know the program and posted in the wrong section. He was looking for advice on how to ask a girl to the prom.

Your not happy to debate anything other than your own misguided view Jason....for months now many have proven several things that you teach to be in error and at the end of the day you ignore the truth, twist what is said, try to prove your stance with (real world experiences) and refuse to acknowledge truth that contradicts SOME of the things you teach.....NO OFFENCE MEANT!
While I admire your restraint (Which is a refreshing change from our previous controversial conversations) claiming that I am in error in truth on various things doesn't actually mean anything unless you can back it up with the whole of Scripture.

I'm really sorry British Dave but I am afraid that you are not allowed to date. We are putting our heads together and are going to come up with a suitable mate for you and we will prearrange your marriage to her. This way it will take all of the pressure off of you....furthermore, You better not let me catch you playing cards, going to movies or any other nefarious activity young man.

In clarification:

I would NOT council a Christian girl to date an unbelieving boy, or even a professing Christian who has not established his Christian character by his conduct.

This is only because, in doing so, she would be making herself too vulnerable to potential harm.

funny, every time I bring up using the Bible as whole with you, you either ignore it or just throw out random verses without context. so now you are saying to use the whole Bible. good. real good cop out answer.

Actually wanting to post Scripture and discuss it instead of one's opinions is against the "ego." Ego is all about self and what you want. I have been pointing to Scripture and what God wants vs. what we want (i.e. ego).

Well, I have been on a rather long road trip (Drove 30 hours in 2 days and 1 night). If I missed your post, please show it to me. But I do not make the habit of ignoring Scripture, nor do I black out the context, either. I would be happy to go over any Scripture you have now.

First, r u a Christian.Second, u want her 2 be open 2 relationship with Jesus Christ.Not religion.Three, i would pray 4 Gods will 2 unfold,not yours.The bible states not 2 be unequally yoked.What can someone who is living in the light of Christ,have with someone who is living in darkness.Also let your intention be 2 lead her 2 the truth of Gods Word and salvation and always if u can let someone else court u both so there is no problem of both of u being alone.Always use Gods guidance and wisdom.Amen gbu 2.

Man and woman were created to be joined together in marriage. You can't be close with a member of the opposite sex and plan on it lasting forever if you do not plan to marry. If your goal is not focused on that, then you are thinking the wrong way. Every date should have that in view. If not, then you are thinking like the world thinks.

As for cards and movies: Well, these things should involve God and His good ways in some form or fashion. Nothing we do should not involve God. Everything we do should be focused with that goal in mind. For whatever is not of faith is sin. For example: If one watches a movie, can you say it is it a God honoring film? Can you say that it is a movie that you can use as a witness for Christ? Is playing a card game allow you a chance to talk with someone about Christ?

I think we do Jason a disservice to single Jason out for an outpouring of dismissive remarks.

Jason's basic premise that all that we do should be primarily focused on pleasing God is something most of us share; and which those who don't should. Looking at Jason's comments, I see more concern with not doing things for the wrong reasons than with not doing things. As I see it this is neither legalistic nor judgmental! I disagree strongly with the concept of sheltering young believers from life experiences necessary for maturity rather than teaching them how to honor the Lord while living in the world. I do NOT disagree with the premise that all believers should consider their motives before acting.

In direct response to the thread title, this is like asking the Pharisees in the time Jesus walke His earth, will the true sons of Abraham stand up? You know they all will.

That's a cute cartoon and it makes a valid point; but, in what way do you think it applies to my post.

If you are saying that Jason's posts seem to be condescending (and ought not to be defended); I thought so to until I went back and paid close attention to what he was saying.. If you are saying that something in the way he presents himself irritates you; I remind you that we are called to emulate Jesus; who died for us while we were quite unlovely.
