You can express disapproval of someone's personal life (if you must) without being churlish.
its not "churlish" it plain blunt truth. Sorry you Americans can't seem to handle the cold hard truth anymore. I guess it is true America has lost its backbone.

I'm fairly confident no one is trying to actually "download a wife." So yeah, you are literally correct. But given the number of relationships/marriages which have originated through online communication - including those of some users here on CC - your comments just come across as needlessly bitter.

ok so a couple people here and there actually got a working relationship, what about the millions who jump in the "e-love" game and get nowhere cause everything is great until they meet and then they find out they really don't like each other.

trust me for every 1 that ends up successful playing the "e-love" lotto, 1,000,000 failed.

Like I said in another post, no point in even playing the boy/girl friend game UNTIL YOU BLOODY MEET FACE TO FACE. I know that is seems to be a hard concept for many people to understand. so I will type it out slowly so it comes out clearly

IF
YOU
WANT
A
RELATIONSHIP
MEET
FACE
TO
FACE
FIRST
THEN
GO
FROM
THERE.

doing the "e-love" game before you meet is pointless. wait until AFTER you meet.

You should be around long enough to not expect anything better of him.

Yeah, I'm not into it either; much rather be face-to-face. But if it works for someone else, IDC.

thing is, it don't work most of the time. its like hitting a 600million powerball lotto. yeah someone will win it, but millions will not. playing the "e-love" game is just like the powerball, people think they going to get rich "love" but end up with wasted time.

Thus everyone should wait until they meet face to face then see if they would like to go into a more serious direction.

Pretty sure Paul is talking about the gospel, not giving Timothy dating advice... lol. I have one though.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)

Of course, if someone isn't a Christian, then this isn't relevant.

Yes well... it's amazing how far this generation has wandered from sound doctrine in every area of life.

The worldviews so many young Christians espouse make me wonder how many of them are actually Christians. Very few. It's turning into some sort of pseudo-Marxist cult that would drive Marx to rip out his own beard.

A pseudo-Marxist worldview... what an interesting way to put it.

Well, obviously it's working for them, so why bother them by trolling the thread? It's their choice if they want to try long-distance or e-dating, so let it rest.

In other news, I personally wouldn't do it because I wouldn't be able to trust someone I hadn't met.

What about meeting someone allows more potential for trust?

Lets not jump the gun on wisebeardman. And I wouldn't be calling people out as if their a wolf, that's not your job. (Looking @ Ageofknowledge and Jonahlynx.)

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires" -2 Timothy 4:3.
I'm fairly confident no one is trying to actually "download a wife." So yeah, you are literally correct.

Your ego is just as bad as the rest. And specifically quoting scripture to use it has a backslap to another person, proves to me that you have no idea about the spirit of God either. So don't go quoting scriptures about those who don't endure sound doctrine. Because it seems to me, you aren't enduring sound doctrine either. And that is also, specifically calling other people, "bitter," or forming a gesture that he could be. You're only provoking a situation, and harassing individuals to become offended.

A word of advice... Don't try to make your long-distance girlfriend jealous during a movie date... Her and I were watching a movie last night over Skype, and after it finished, we got into some fun joking around. It eventually got into her doing some playful poking fun at me, but I just felt a little hurt...

Instead of voicing my hurt to her, I decided to lash out at her, with an extremely insensitive joke intended to spark some jealousy in her. It worked... Too well >.<. I am now "in the doghouse", where we won't be able to video chat until Monday! Ugh... Can't it come soon enough? Lol

I will say this though: I accept full responsibility for my absolute stupidity. I also want to apologize to her and promise I will try my hardest to not be so... What's the word... Jerk-ish.

So my lesson to you guys... Be sensitive of each other's emotions and feelings. It is easy to have a foot in mouth moment and hurt someone you care about. Learn from my mistakes!
If she gives you the, "time out" or "dog house" I think you need to start reevaluating the current situation. She doesn't exert authority over you, and give a touch of, "When you can talk to me, and when you can't." Love doesn't look that way. I've been in and out of relationships, and what I've learned is to trust in God for those relationships. Which means, my obsession isn't talking to her, nor is it seeing her before seeing the Lord. And my wife wouldn't give me the doghouse, because if we're upset about something. We speak it, and if someone goes out of line, we are mature enough in God to surrender our emotions and feelings, and still be able to speak our minds and express our hearts.

But for your situation, for her to put you on time out and to tell you when she wants to talk to you again, sounds like a premature development in Christ, and also on you. Rethink where you stand before God, and make sure this is from the Lord. Because overall, you'll just end up hurting yourself, she will end up hurting you, and you will end up hurting her.

I apologize if it comes across that way. It was not my intention to assume superiority, but to address open rudeness towards someone's (esp. a fellow Christian's) personal life. If you believe my post was equally inflammatory, how should I respond in the future?

The last part was what I written towards your quote.

And that is also, specifically calling other people, "bitter," or forming a gesture that he could be. You're only provoking a situation, and harassing individuals to become offended.
Calling people bitter doesn't do no justice, or anyone anything. Calling people out of what they are, doesn't serve no purpose, but glory in the flesh. Because it just open doors to conversation and bickering that doesn't need to be. If there's anything to be said, say it out of love. There are multiple people here already on Wisemenbeard's case on what he said. We don't need 10 more people jumping on him. What about we just give him a water, ask him if he wants to go play some basketball, or do as Proverb suggest, "A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in til afterwards."

Actually I was the only one "on his case." Perhaps you started reading this page only and neglected the entire thread? Well, thanks for the suggestion anyway, but it seems your post was reactionary to my word choice. I think we've derailed the OP enough. Send me a PM if you still have a legitimate concern. Otherwise, enjoy your day!
