HEY, l go to a big church and it has an equal mix of fine brothers and sisters........

l know some brothers who when they get to a certain point in their lifes, not necessarily old but feel they want a good woman or one who is respectful look to the church.

My question to ya'll out there is...are you looking around at who yoiu are sitting next to.......or are you thinking, well she looks nice.......especially for the 20+.



Am l ryt to conclude that there is a dating matching aspect of going to churdch.... if so why the church what makes it so particular

PS. I am all christian and loving it, hoping to get married there, but am getting worried that there are wolves amonst us:?

I think your a woman.

Dont worry about the wolves inside the church. There are plenty outside too.There is a large 7th day adventis in the manor. The amount of fine looking women I see going in there over the yearsmake you think its beauty pageant they hold in there.


But you are right. Alot of people are closer tochurch but further from God.

Having read the few posts concerning this topic it made me ask this particular question.

How seriously does Christianity view the sin of adultery or fornication?

I mean there aremuslims out there who get down to all sorts of mischief but believe me they would think twice before bringing those mischief into a house of God (mosque).

There is a whole branch of knowledge that deals with specifically on how to behave in the house of God.

Anyway just a thought.


Used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

Talk about twisting a debate. Bro yuh nuh easy..

How seriously does Christianity view the sin of adultery or fornication?


Fair question.Natural extension of debate you could say...

I mean there aremuslims out there who get down to all sorts of mischief but believe me they would think twice before bringing those mischief into a house of God (mosque).

There is a whole branch of knowledge that deals with specifically on how to behave in the house of God.


LOL!!!Who was talking about fornication in a church. Or adultery. There was no talk of married people behind the pastors quarters as it were..

And correct me if Im wrong butisnt the Mosque men only..so what you telling me they need code and branches of knowledge for that...

Anyway just a thought.

That kills it..!!bighairlol

Are there wolves among you?

You mean, are there actually men (and women) who attend church looking for someone to get into bed with?

Yes.

Do some men like tojump on every woman in sight, have sex with everyone on earth,and then look to the church when they want someone with less then a hundred thousand miles on the odometer?

Yes.

Do "Christian women" go out and play the whore with everyman they can, then look to the church when they want someone who they can count on to stay with them, now that they are waaaaay past the warranty expiration mileage?

Yes.

Oh, and to answer the question, that you didn't ask, "Is the Church a good place to find lots of really beautiful people"

No.

If you take humanity as a set, then make a subset of everyone who is the opposite sex, then within that subset, everyone who is also good looking, (to you) then intelligent, charming, witty, sensitive, faithful, etc. You narrow it down to a very small percentage of the population. Then when you cull it down further by taking a subset of "how many that made it this far are in church", then, what you will probably end up with is ONE person. Somewhere on earth.Find 'em and marry'em!

The way I see it is this: men may find it a challenge to go out with a church girl, who they think is as good as gold, that butter wouldn't melt in their mouths. But when the men really get to know these church girls, they find out that half of them are first class hoes, so it was pointless looking in the church in the first place! And I seriously do not think respectful or respectable is in the vocabulary of half thepeople that claim to be christians. I have a name for these people, I used to call them hypocrites, now I'll call them split personality christians.

Do christian girls see Jesus or God when they come.

Why do they always have to shout 'Oh Gawd' or 'Jesus Christ' at the moment of rapture.

confused3Well, as some may remember, i started a post a few months back asking where MY kinda christian man is. I think what every1 in life has to deal with is finding the person that is true to "you". Yes, i want a Christian man but of course i am aware that there are nuff Christian men dat are out der and the first thing they want is SEX, wen they already know wat Christianity is about. Believe it or not, there are jus as many females like that too.

It's jus bout the waiting and findin da right person because there are decent Christian Men and Women with whom you dont have to make no compromise!niceone.gif


Ur Blessed and Highly Favoured!
Keep Smiling

Well if people come out to church and check out how nice the women are. Obviously the next stage of thought would be how nice it would be to slam them isn't it? You rarely mention how nice the food smell without thinking how tasty it would be to eat it.

d code and branches of knowledge for that...

As for the branch of knowledge dealing with behaviour in a House of God here are the basics.
Quote:
Yes there is no mixing between men and women in mosques however many mosque have an extension section for the women. You could say separate chambers for men and women. The wisdom is to avoid the temptation of men checking out the women or the women checking out the men the idea is to be focused on the worship of God with pure clear thought and minimum wordly distractions.
Quote:
As for the behaviour of men and women they are required to sit in silence, avoid unexcessary talks, and be in a state of respect as they are guests to the House of God. You would sit in manners like you would sit in the presence of a king and Allah is the King of kings. This is the knowledge one sitting in mosque is supposed to posses. as much as you find it amusingchildren who grow up in proper muslim families are taught the manners of mosqie as well as manners for many other functions from very young age.

well lm shocked if not impressed at the responses, dont get me wrong its not coz l agree or disagree.



But like l said in the beginning l was more on the line of just dating, l wasnt yet at the sex stage, but then again l get ya'll who brought up fornication and the idea of a lady who has gone around the bend and is looking for a seriuos man in the church.



But let me put one thing straight or to the point..............most chics do not actually look for man in the church, when they have been disappointed out there, they are ...sorry to God for their actions, kinda looking for redemption or salvation.... and being in Gods presence makes you feel the only man you could ever connect to at this point is one that shares your faith, as you are trying to live ryt by God and you can not do that by going back to you old ways... l know l am walking that road.



So l find with the brothers out there they deliberately go into the church looking .....meet me and my past....then go on to label all sisters in there...atleast l admit l have past l amliving behind, l am not looking for some holier than thou brothercz we all have one flaw or two!!!! On the other hand if l met a guv who was honest about where he has been and where he wants to be then its all good. Cz l know some people mostly brothers who came into the church "looking" and have the wrong motives cahnge, bcz the Holy Spirit moved in their lives and today they are in a better place.



Get this, dont get this, THE POINT IS WE ALL HAVE a PAST WE LIVE iT BEHIND, lm not a whore cz of my past and wanting to correct that in Gods house AND expecting the person l get with to respect that and be from Gods house DOES NOT MAKE ME A HYPOCRITE!!!, but l'll be a horses aunt if l agree to the notion that my past makes me excempt to the good life AND LIVING OR FOLLOWING IN MY FAITH TO ACHIEVE THAT!!clp).



Alsoif a guy is not saved l will date him, not try to change him but neither should he expect me to meet his needs, which l would have told me are no longer a part of me, cz sex does not make a relationship PEOPLE DO and emphasizing it can break a relationship

Is there a problem with dating and being a christain? I went on a date yesterday and I ran into another church member and felt as though I was being scrutinized. I appreciated her looking out for me and making sure I was still in line with god and dating, however I belive that dating is just that dating. Is the purpose of dating to find your life mate and marry. If it is just a date for fun should you bring another christain with you. I personally belive that when it comes to christains and dating some tend to put their beliefs and personal convinctions on other christains. If I am on date with someone this does not mean that intend on sleeping with that person. One christains boundaries may not be anothers. There's a line of temptation for everyone. Can christains date just for fun and nothing more?confused3confused3confused3niceone.gif

I don't see any problem being a christian and dating. i mean how are you suppose to find a life long partner if you don't date.

is this person you went out on a date with a christian or not.the reason i ask is because a lot of the christian group (and other reglious groups) feel if you dateoutside your reglious groupyou might gradually become less involved in your faith, and as a result some frown upon dating which is outside the reglious group.

as long as you know what you're doing and youknow you're compromising your faith then there shouldn't be a problem.
