Should Christians Use Dating Apps?

[Lovette]

Apparently you read the creation accounts and saw automobiles and cell phones though

So dating a real person is just like shopping for automobiles and cell phone? What would using automobiles and cell phone be, enslaving the person you date? Nice try.

 

[Lovette]

Why do I have to keep it to myself? Do good reports upset you?

Only you yourself know whether those reports are really "good" or not, that's truly between you and God.

 

[Lovette]

What?

What are you up to?

How on earth could a man not raping me be a bad report?

How on earth could a man not raping me be a bad report?

The real question is how can Jesus believing men and women have any pure and holy fellowship together?

Do we go to church? Do we eat a meal together? Do we talk? Do we study Bible together? Do we play tennis together?

..... why hide all these to self?

Instead what coming out is all bitter secular stuff? Really?

 

[RodColeman]

In addition to wondering if he's disingenuous or merely confused, I am now curious if he is sniffing glue.

Impossible. Jesus didn't die so we could sniff glue. Therefore, Lovette will never try to sniff glue.

Of course, neither will I, for different reasons.

 

[Snackersmom]

Thanks, my conscience is clean, no memory or trauma of any date to haunt me.

Are you SURE about that? You can't seem to mention dating without bringing up enslavement, coercion, trauma, and dropping your pants.

Is there something you need to share with the class?

Jesus didn't die so lovette could act the fool on an internet forum, but pretty comfortable with it anyway

Again that's between you and that man, I didn't ask for it, nobody ask for it, you chose to disclose it, don't throw it at me.

I don't know about you, but we have a saying, "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome." Having dated several men, and still looking for more dates sounds pretty fitting to me.

No, the real question is, how do you spiritualize an expensive, time consuming modern leisure activity with biblical teaching? Just sticking a Christian label on something doesn't make it Christian. Maybe it does for you, but not for me.

Yes, God had kept me from all these stuffs. Even if there's none of those, what you called "quality time" is still WASTED time, especially for the guy who has to pay for everything for a stranger.

I'm just telling you this, man, throughout most human history, parents and elders would be scolding the kids for fooling and hanging around with the opposite sex, which would be recognized today as "dating", getting good grades, community events and a high paying job were the priority, they'd be worrying about bad influence, STD, stranger danger, getting in troubles or at least a waste of time; only in the recent years, perhaps over the last 15 years or so since the advent of the smart device, did they begin worry for the opposite, that there's a "sex recession", kids are not dating and socializing enough. Well, isn't that exactly what they wanted?

 

[Churchgoer]

Not related to dating. But this thread made me think.
Many people don't go to
Church, is it because it is expensive?

To offer to God as able, Abraham, jacob.... did, is expensive? So they don't go?

So, uh, how come for "most human history," lots of people, maybe even most people, still got married?

Marriage, and young marriage, was actually the norm for a long time in human history.

I guess people were as deluded back then as they are now, for wasting their time with marriage?

You were the one whining about free speech when we told you it's inappropriate to talk about having sex with Jesus. All I said was that my dates have been Godly men who didn't ask me for sex, and you are sobbing that I shouldn't say such things, nobody wanted to hear that, I should have kept it to myself? Get a grip dude, why on earth are you bothered by that?

 

[Snackersmom]

What crackheaded arrogance causes you to announce what is "wasted time" for another person? That is completely between me, God, and the gentleman. I see why you equate dating with control and enslavement.... you are literally trying to control and enslave me right now through the internet. Pathetic.

And why are you saying that I didn't pay for dates? Just because I'm female, you think I don't have any money? You are bearing false witness yet again.

Or back then it was arrange or semiarranged, now it's dating app arranged.

You tell me first on why you were bothered by me pointing out your discontentment with singleness. I was never bothered by your love life, as I said, that's between you and God, but don't accuse me of bearing false witness, that's you bearing false witness against me. You're either discontent with singleness and going out for date, or you're content with singleness and enjoying yourself, which one is it?

And btw, "having sex with Jesus" is just ridiculing the comparison between earthly marriage with your spouse and heavenly marriage with Jesus, as long as you "know" your spouse carnally and you don't "know" Lord Jesus carnally.

Then go in peace, no hard feelings. The only pathetic thing is your discontentment with singleness.

If you can't answer my question then why would I answer yours?
