when a power (angel) has come to them in no doubt from the work and miracle of our Lord. All this data is compiled into facts and figures
This I'd love to see.
Who wins on the net dating the Lord or Evil?
This goes under the assumption the Lord exists. Do you believe he exists, or do you have faith that he exists? That said, I'm curious to know why you don't already have the answer to this question - given:
I have studied the Bible fairly close to ten years.
How is it you've studied the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth for ten years "fairly close", and don't already know? | |

Posted: 3/31/2009 7:24:11 PM | I think God is likely sitting back watching all that unfolds with us and may be surprised or may be not at what we can do. While he may send in someone to interfere, I think this very rarely happens and isn't really understood how little God will do since if he interferes this could mess up the idea that we are supposed to just have faith.
Don't forget that if God created everything then God also created disease, suffering, evil, aging, and various other ills of society these days. The world we live in today has its wonders, just like the world of 2,000 years ago had wonders so sometimes not much changes over time in some regards. | |

I think you have crossed beyond reality and are looking for some to join you "over there". | |

Posted: 3/31/2009 10:47:52 PM | Lots of great dates, a few weird ones, but overall the quality on PoF has been pretty good. I'm very optimistic about the future. Not because of PoF, but because I believe in who I am and what I have to offer :)
Cheers. | |

Posted: 4/1/2009 1:56:54 PM | | Being a religious person myself, I think these dating sites are evil. I don't think God would approve of them. I do this out of loneliness and something to do. No one ever sends me an email or even looks at me twice. But I am old and not thin anymore. (you have twins at 40 and see what it does to your body) I guess reading about others who have problems finding some one lets me know that I am not the only lonely person out there. I'm not sure who wins on net dating....maybe we all do in some way.....those of use who post to vent our feelings or those who go from one date to another hoping to find the love of their life, and then there are those who are lucky enough to actually find that perfect some one. How sad it is to think there are so many people looking for some one to share their life with. Maybe we should just be happy with the life that we have and not think that we need someone in our life to be happy. | |

Posted: 4/1/2009 3:04:03 PM | Mark,
A profile is like a resume...we all say the good things about ourselves here. We use the keywords and phrases we think will most likely land ourselves the perfect mate. And, for the most part, we are truthful about what we see in ourselves. The subsequent meeting and dating is akin to an interview process. In business and in love, one has to learn to weed out what is or is not pertinent to the relationship and learn to ask the questions that will give you the answers you need to make an informed decision. Don't blame the website...blame your own ability (or inability, as it were) to ask questions and choose which is best for you (and your partner) during this time.
I could say the same about the bar scene. We're all a little crazier and a little looser with ourselves after a glass or two of 'social lubricant'. It's the meetings afterward that determine if a real relationship can be built out of whatever happened one night in the bar.
Now, is the dating site, or the bar, the source of the 'evil'? I don't believe so. God, in whatever form you view him, gave us the power to reason for ourselves. If you choose to follow 'the word of God', and get sloppy drunk at the bar, do you blame the bar or do you blame the person? Calling the website or the bar 'evil' for one's own social / spiritual / psychological issues is disingenuous at best...hypocritical at worst.
My two cents (well, maybe three)
Paul ;) | |

Posted: 4/1/2009 4:23:31 PM | | Itechman, I have not stepped Beyond reality, not looking for someone to joing me either. I am also not trying to preconceive a point to someone. What Im look at is this, I have been on the go with most of this reasearch, since 2002. I have read articles of people dating on the net and how those relationships fell flat most, however some do workout. All of us have felt emotional pain in our lives, God intends us to feel these pains, as we grow. Im not looking to judge a answer or anyone that replies. Im just looking to see what some think on here. Thanks mark | |

Posted: 4/1/2009 4:36:13 PM | Going to the initial posting, likewise I am a christian man. I have graduate degrees in both theology and law. I also consider myself an observer of human nature and some what of a theologian.
I do not see online dating as inherently good or evil. Online dating is just a venue of meeting others. A person can just as easily get their heart broken by dating someone from the singles group at church. Just as a person can get their heart broken by meeting someone at a dance club or bar. The venue itself is not inherently evil. The venue is just one source of meeting new people.
Why did I make a POF profile? Well it is slim pickens at church for a woman that I find attractive or intellectual stimulating. Likewise, I work for a small law firm so meeting someone at work is unlikely. Likewise as a christian man, I don't think the women I would find at a club or bar as good candidates. Thus I try a new venue that introduces me to women I would not otherwise meet. | |

Posted: 4/2/2009 6:11:04 PM | What was the underlining lesson of all that you'd learned in studying the Bible & in teaching seminars? While I am no longer a Christian, I do have bible principles instilled in my heart. What I see is that YOU & your DAUGHTER have not trusted 100% in your "LORD," "GOD," "ANGEL," "whatever", and you are trusting in MAN, are you not?
Believe in your faith (implicitly) & it SHALL guide you; trust in man & in your heart & you will not fare so wisely. Jeremiah 17:9 says, "The heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate. Who can know it?" Your daughter trusted in mere mortals & they obviously didn't share the same values & beliefs as you. Perhaps I am sounding a bit judgemental, I'm not, I am only reflecting what your Christian peers would've advised you. I strongly believe that everything that happens to you, happens for a reason. That the hard times you go through are to build character, thus making you & your daughter a much stronger person. Remember you will not always win. Some days, the most resourceful individuals will taste defeat, however just knowing that you gave it your best to succeed today, there is always tomorrow. Do not attempt to justify or find solice in just three relationships, do it after you (&/or your daughter) had tried it a hundredfold. Perhaps her approach was wrong, or perhaps she is repeating a pattern of seeking the same types of people. First heal & change the outlook of yours/her world & you will both see things from a different perspective.
And to your question, " Who wins on net dating sites" ANS - Everyone who comes with the right motives & with the right frame of mind... Those who are confident in themselves & who continuously look at the doors of opportunities that are open to them, rather than the ones they've left behind & are closed...
Hope this helps...

Posted: 4/2/2009 7:04:07 PM | Who wins when dating? Easy breezy... WOMEN. hands down.
First the men out number the women on these sites, so the girls can be choosy.
Then if a date ensues, the man picks up the tab.
A woman has the right to deny or accept sexual advances. It is definitely in favor of the women. | |
