I love spiders.
I think it's beautiful :)
Hmmmm...exactly what proves your love? What do you do when you see one in the shower, sink or cruising across the floor? We have hobos where I live. They're fast.

Okay....it's my nighty night, put away the spider pictures. I'm already gonna have to leave the bathroom light on.
:rolleyes: Aw... A little necrotic flesh decay never hurt anyone...

Wait a second...

I love spiders.
I think it's beautiful :)
I like spiders, too, (I think black widows are, in many ways, very beautiful creatures), but anything majorly venomous like that brown recluse (or black widows) gets promptly dispatched.

Adorable jumping spiders might be granted amnesty and escorted out of doors, however.

And now I'm feeling very patriotic :p

Saran... capable of all manner of evil. There was once a movie of these evil deeds, but it was a rather thin, plastic film...
Had to correct my autocorrect three times for that. Apparently it still beat me.

a woman's heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her”



Dude, you are so busted. You've totally been on here before with a whole thread dedicated to this idiotic topic. That was even the title of the thread you posted...
Scary nun spice :eek: that is enough to scare any man into being a shattered recluse :p ... I hope i don't have nightmares tonight of dead eyed catholic nuns ....

Ohh, I get it...

So God is incapable of directing a solid Christian man to a socially timid or withdrawn woman, and she has to inevitably end up with a creep who is posing as a Christian... (And, knowing her luck, is probably also Satan himself.)

Makes perfect sense.





Also, this guy has been here before, as I'm sure you will all remember.
Ohh, I get it...
So the serpent did not walk up to Eve in the garden?

From a single man's point of view and my associations with other single men and women of all ages, the attitudes and intentions a very age dependent. Young men in late teens and early 20's are trying to find their place in the world and broaden their experiences to enable them to nature appropriately athe the right pace as they grow up so may go out 'of the prowl' for a bit of no strings fun but a man in his mid 30's is comfortable with himself and has nothing to prove and his attitude towards women is mature and paced with a relaxed natural way of interacting with women as equals. I am 36 and don't go out 'on the pull' as we say in Britain I have done all my chasing and now let nature take its course to allow a more spontaneous natural encounter and introduction to a woman. The difficulty arises that of you don't venture further afield you will never meet a woman you don't already know.
I am not just warning of guys that want no strings fun. you think all the devil wants is to have no strings fun? the devil wants to prevent christian marriages and he could send his agent to marry a Christian woman. so this post is not about uncommitted guys that want to have no strings fun but instead it is about the devil sending a false Christian man to meet and marry the christian woman in her place of recluse.

Okay, firstly, false Christian is not the same as a demon in human form. Secondly, Christians do not need to live in fear and terror of the devil. It's true that he ( devil) always seeks to tempt real followers of Christ. He does that in every area of our lives though not just in our relationships with others. Are you afraid and paralyzed in every other aspect of your life? We shouldn't be cocky and think we are above being deceived or falling into temptation. However, we don't need to fear him and give his power more attention than we give Christ. That is what you are doing in all these posts. Honestly, I don't think you have any idea what you are supposed to be looking for in a potential spouse. If you really think that a demon or falsely converted person has no distinguishable characteristics than you are wrong. ( I can't believe I'm actually responding seriously to this thread again, haha)

We are guaranteed in Scripture that if we seek God and follow his will we will be blessed. We can avoid all these traps you are terrified of by regularly communing with God in prayer. Also, I'd like to add that as true Christians we have discernment ( from the Holy Spirit). We aren't going to wake up one morning and realize " oops, I married a demon" lol. Most of the time, when people end up in spiritually incompatible relationships it's because they ignored obvious red flags or settled for someone out of desperation.

The issue with sitting at home and waiting for God to bring your spouse to your door is that it is not practical. It's better to put yourself in situations to be able to meet new people and trust that God lead you to a suitable person.

What your going to do, will be found in doing what your supposed to do.

Hence, not walking in the spirit won't lead you to God's will for your life.

You'll miss the gem playing in the rocks.
