No country with weird Gods is very successful...never have they ever been. Only Christ based countries.
Your statement is unfounded. America is different than other countries on many different levels. One being religious FREEDOM. Not to mention that our country was founded only 300 years ago. We didn't have to go through the BS of 3000 years of history and power struggles. Our government was setup quickly, and was setup by people that understood that people are different and everyone needs a voice.
It doesn't take a Christian to understand this! If you think it is, you're prejudiced. A racist in regards to faith. "I'm white so I'm the best"... sounds a lot like "I'm Christian so I'm the best".
Hark....listen.....the time is coming....probably sooner than we all think. The world can not keep going the way it is and at this pace. . It just cant.
Self fulfilling prophecy? People like you scare me. You give all Christians a bad name. | |

Posted: 5/18/2008 7:50:22 AM | | I think its not all about religions now a days but a personal spiritual relationship with God. Religion is more of the building and the pastor or priest, those ideas are getting outdated especially with the amount of con artists out there and pedaphiles...folks are taking there beliefs home, having respect for others is what its all about. I dated an atheist once and couldnt get past the conflict...best thing is to find someone like yourself, In my case that is hard to do...being new age and psychic alot of folks steer clear which is ok. | |

I also forgive: 4dutyandhumanity
Perhaps now my boils will start to heal.
A note about atheism, as it relates to the Church of Christ, Validator.
Christianity has a 2000 year history, and in its history Chrsitianity has taken many forms. I can say with excellent certainty that at no time, until the present, has Christianity celebrated the body, and in particular, the body as sexual attractor. On the contrary - the body was looked on as a distraction from the Christian's goal of entering heaven, and sex was a particularly dangerous distraction. What do Catholic priests give up in order to be priests? Sex (well, they're supposed to!). What are you only supposed to do after sanctification by marriage? The Deed, of course.
None of this means a thing to me. Christianity's disdain for our physical selves has caused nothing but problems. Forcing Pacific islanders into Mother Hubbard costume was sick. However, I do understand what words mean, I have read the New Testament, and I fully understand why those who chose to take the bible seriously would have believed what they believed. Jesus never stood in front of a mirror lifting weights, trying to sculpt his abs.
So what does this have to do with atheism? There is nothing I find more laughable than 'religious' people playing dial-a-deity. Pre-modern America (non-Californian) religion is about the attempt to find the truth about God, believing that God is not just a big squishy thing that you mold to your desires. Cosmic muffin religion is atheism in drag. The search for the truth about God is nuts, in my opinion, but has intellectual integrity, at least.
Just to show that I am not dogmatic in my beliefs, those who feel that my interpretation of the New Testament as it impacts bikinis are invited to send me bikini photos which they feel argue in favor of their position. The positions taken by all ladies in bikinis will be duly noted, and all photos will be interpreted in light of the most current theological arguments, with references to scripture as needed. | |

The extremists on both sides...from the Athiests that hate Christian-based nations, to the Doomsday predictors that society as a whole is falling apart...scare the living crap out of me!!
Want a real wakeup call? The world is 65 billion years old. People have been on it for millions of those years. Both the planet, and people, are going to be around another few million at least. So enough with the doom & gloom. And tell me what ANY of this has to do with my original post?!?!??!?!? | |

People, if you want an audience for your posts, then keep it short and sweet
I'm sorry ... do your lips get tired after a paragraph or two?
And tell me what ANY of this has to do with my original post?!?!??!?!?
Your original post was stupid and shallow. If you're going to start a thread about religion, expect a variety of responses. Dimwit. | |

At least I have enough maturity & respect for fellow human beings not to resort to name-calling. This wasnt about religion...it was about why its a preference & a dealbreaker. If it was too shallow for you then you shouldve just ignored it.
If all you can do is preach & call people names, youre just showing how small of a human you are. And probably why youre still single. | |

BTW, if you have a problem with long posts, there's always the option to not read them, which is what I do. People who complain about the length of posts generally have axes to grind.
And you might have noticed that 'your' post went off in various directions long ago - as do most threads. There have been some thoughtful, quality posts here - maybe their content is what's troubling some people. | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 8:49:05 AM | That's an interesting question. I suppose the short answer is they assume a man who is religious, i.e. has an assumed connection to God, will be better relationship material than your run of the mill guy.
Of course, they couldn't be more wrong. The biggest players and jerks I've met in my life have all purported to be devoted to the lord. The quality or worth of any individual can't be discerned by what religion he is a member of. To know any man or woman requires some investment of time, something few people seem willing to make these days.

Posted: 5/19/2008 12:03:37 PM | This is for EVERYONE!!
  :
Lot Lizard: Thanks for the concern, doll, that was really sweet of you!!! No worries, about safety, cuz you should see the guys I play volleyball with!! They wont let anything happen to the Surfdancer.. lol....we also have amazing RB Lifeguards (Thanks Mike, Jeff and Tyler!!!) on hand as well as the Redondo Beach Police roaming around on their 4x4 beach vehicles, so we're well taken care of down here, but thanks Lot!!
ON TOPIC:
Typewriterman: you wrote:
"The Bible does not demand that Christians only marry Christians, and so when a believer demands this of themselves, they are imposing a non-Christian belief on themselves. Christian teachings come from Christ alone. Not to say they don't have good reason to do it"
Well, Let's look at what the Bible actually says, rather than your unsubstantiated claims:
2 Corinthians 6:14 : Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? (NIV)
Its NOT about someone's Morals and Values, but rather whether they are a BELIEVER that Christ is their SAVIOR. Contrary to what many of you have claimed Christians believe, (that you have to be good to get into heaven), you only prove you DO NOT REALLY UNDERSTAND CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE: wow, the more I read the BIBLE, the more I realize how very little I do know about it....this is what keeps me coming back again and again to that amazing WORD of the GOD of ABRAHAM!!!
if the Holy Spirit does not give you DISCERNMENT to understand it, then its just a bunch of foolishness and silly stories in your eyes, so I dont expect you to get it...there are many, many versions, that's why its important to have a conscious connection to the HOLY SPIRIT, going straight to the SOURCE.....though it is my duty to be a disciple, I will NEVER shove my beliefs down anyone's throat...the door to your heart opens from the INSIDE.
its not how about how GOOD you are...you cannot WORK you way into heaven. It is about IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS that is given through SALVATION from CHRIST. This IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS is what slowly changes us, as we contiue to seek CHRIST as LORD of our lives...not only SAVIOR, but also LORD. Next time you judge someone who's a Christian, remember they are not perfect, but as they continue to grow in the Lord, they will change through IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS.
OP: You angrily replied to 4DUTYNHUMANITY that it was not about relgion, so why do people have to turn it into a religious thread? Surely, you cannot expect to ask a question concerning GOD and those seeking ONLY someone who LOVES GOD and yet NOT EXPECT PEOPLE TO BRING UP RELIGION????? Come on now, OP...pretty naive on your part, no????
As for limiting how much we write? (this one's for Microchip too) That's as silly as imposing your religious beliefs onto me...if its too long, DONT READ IT, if they want a CHRISTIAN only, MOVE ON...but PLEASE: dont tell me how much to write and dont tell me I have to date everyone!! LOL ....I see a pattern here on your part, OP and it seems like CONTROL may be an issue for you; just an observation.
Also, I just wanted you to know, even if you are not a Christian, I have love for you. I have a heart for you. I wish you well.
With this, I leave you, shake the dust from my sandals and am off to eat lunch.
Peace and Blessings to you all!!!
The following is an excellent piece: unknown author: I think you'll find it interesting, regardless of your beliefs...cuz, the truth, in the end, is.
oWE ALL DO NOT KNOW THE TRUTH! WE SIMPLY HAVE BELIEFS.
"Remember that logic has failed them. Whether they’re right
r you are, they can’t imagine they could be wrong. They will say their position is based on reason, but yours is based on faith. They will say they know their champion has learned from mistakes, but you see yours as a messiah. They will give themselves a name of their choosing, then give you one also, a name that may add “-ite” or “-ista” or “-ette” or “-ie” to an idea or a person you respect.
Mahatma Gandhi said, “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” When they mock you, they are crossing the line from laughing to fighting. They are telling the world they are past reason.
You have two choices then. Fight them, and out of pride and anger, they will cling more fiercely to their belief. Or leave, and trust that in time, you or they will see the truth.
According to Mark, Jesus said, “And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them.” That testimony of leaving is all you can offer when someone will not listen. You don’t shake off the dust so bystanders will see you. You shake off the dust to remind yourself that you are leaving them behind.
There’s a Buddhist story that I love. Two monks had vowed never to touch a woman, but when they came to a flooded river, a woman asked them to carry her across. One monk obeyed immediately. On the other side of the river, the woman took one road, and the two monks took another. A few hours passed. Then the second monk said, “We made a vow! How could you carry that woman?” The first said, “I set her down on the other side. You are still carrying her.”
When someone mocks you, shake the dust from your sandals, then keep walking the way you have chosen."

Posted: 5/19/2008 12:27:19 PM | | What I don't understand is why this is an issue in the first place. How is religious preference any different from any other preference, such as physique, hobbies, etc. And frankly, I don't know if women are requesting that YOU love God as much as they are saying that a man they would consider dating has to have a relationship with God. Would it be any different is a woman's profile said "Must be at least 6' tall"? It's just another, albiet important, criteria with which to chose a potential mate, in my opinion. | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 3:46:39 PM | I really have no desire to be with someone who will just tolerate or put up with my beliefs whether it's religious, political, environmental , financial or social. If we don't agree on these important core values and beliefs then there can be no equal and true relationship.
I want to get married someday and marriage is about sharing your life with someone. How can you share your life with someone when your beliefs differ so wildly? Marriage is hard enough to begin with without deliberately placing stumbling blocks in your way. Those will come up regardless, so why have them there right from the beginning? | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 6:06:11 PM | (sigh)
Im sorry I ever asked. My intentions were to find out answers as it relates to dating. Of course I knew we'd talk of religion. I just didnt think it would bring-out the self-preachers trying to justify their beliefs (or non-beliefs) to those of us that dont care. Be it Christianity or Athiesm, no one wants someone elses ideals shoved down their throat. And that, sadly, is what this thread has degraded to.
Thankfully I got the answers I wanted by page 6, before the fundamentalists on both sides began writing their novels that no one is reading. Too bad the discussion couldnt have stayed on-topic, but since it didnt I shall bid you all adieu. Thank you to those of you who answered & stayed on-topic. Your words gave me great insight.
To the novel-writers, have fun. Its your thread now. | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 6:12:53 PM | Yes, I have to admit I obviously did not do my homework on the biblical view on marriage between believers and non-believers, and ended up spouting, in a very strong language, an, atleast, heavily incomplete claim.
There is the passage from Corinthians II 6:14: "be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers." When I read this I think that "yoked" does not mean marriage, but then being married certainly is being close to someone else and it seems far fethched that you can't be yoked, yet you can be married to an unbeliever. But the word "unequally" implies that you can be yoked, just can not be yoked unequally with an unbeliever.
There is another passage though which clearly allows marriage between unbelievers, Corinthians I 7:12-14:
But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
In those above passages there is marriage between believers and unbelievers, and they are to stay together, and the believer even sanctifies the unbeliever. Considering the clarity of this passage I would say it is permissable for this kind of marriage to happen form a Christian perspective. This also effects the passage prohibiting "yoking". Any ideas on how? | |

Posted: 5/19/2008 6:33:06 PM | Ok, OP, I see your point, the thread has gotten off topic. To answer your questions from my point of view:
1) I havn't seen this pattern in society myself but if it's there I imagine it's because mature men are hard to find these days. In previous generations there were socially demanded standards for men to follow as children, youth, and adults. Think of Jane Austin's time and how men acted then compared to now. Religious men, sometimes, still hold a set of values and behaviour patterns in stark contrast to mainstream society.
2) This is the perennial problem religion faces. How do religious people uphold their values (arguably excessevily lofty values) when our own minds and bodies have other inclinations (and ones which I consider healthy)?
3) No, I wouldn't. Spirituality is a wonderful thing
4) Some are taught by various sources to be pessimisstic about people who hold other viewpoints on spirituality and about marrying such people. Possibly most are taught to be think this way. In a case like this understanding and communcation is all that is needed. Nothing should get in the way of the purity of love. | |

surfdancer was right in what she quoted before in MSG 318 Christians are not meant to be unequality yoked as the Bible says with non believers.
Typewriterman.
The passage your quoting here is in reference to God saying, don't just get divorced if one should come to accept Christ as their savior after being married and the other person in the marriage does not accept. It's not saying that a person should go off and marry a non believer, but if two people are already married and one person turns their life to serve Jesus, then don't just get divorced. If you notice in the verses just before the ones you quote here, it is referring to marriage. | |

Posted: 5/20/2008 5:06:05 AM | Assuming surfdancer's bible interpretation is correct, and that you should not be 'yoked' to an ubeliever, the problem now becomes deciding who is or is not a believer.
Surf's views of Christianity are, in my view, as valid as the Pope's or Pat Robertson's. However, Pat and the Pope are unlikely to agree. In fact, the more extreme elements of Protestantism view the Pope as the anti-Christ and refer to Catholicism as 'the whore of Babylon.' This type of view has become less prevalent as Western society has become more secular, but it still exists.
On the other hand, for millennia, the Church claimed that 'there was no salvation outside the Church' - in other words, non-Catholics were not real Christians.
Surf's views of Christianity are certainly flexible, and assuming her pics are accurate, I'm sure she can find yoke-able believers whose views, if not currently so flexible, will quickly become so. But think about this issue in terms of the separation of church and state, or the attempts of some to define the US as a 'Christian' nation.
Without an absolute separation of church and state, the extremists from the various sects, Catholics, Prtotestants, Bikini - would be at each other's throats in a heartbeat, trying to get the government to endorse their religious views. | |

It's not saying that a person should go off and marry a non believer, but if two people are already married and one person turns their life to serve Jesus, then don't just get divorced...
I realize the passage in Corinthians I 7:12 does refer to marriage in the present tense, which makes me wonder if it is allowing a believer to willfully choose an unbelieving partner. But I think this above passage leaves the question open as to the state of the couple when they got married: it is not given definitively either way.
I would ask you do you have scriptural evidence to prove your point quoted above?
I also find it important that the other passage regarding unequal yoking uses the word "unequal" I know some translations do not use that word; what's up with that? But one could interpret it as yoking being acceptable, only unequal yoking being unacceptable. | |
|
| Why Do So Many Women Require That I Must Love God?
Posted: 5/20/2008 11:10:41 PM | "Yoking" is either equal or unequal....it cannot be both and it cannot be neither....
if it says to not be unequally yoked, this double negative becomes a positive...
therefore: it is saying....be EQUALLY YOKED.
the literal basis of this analogy is the yoking of farm animals, such as oxen, to plow together, joining them by the neck within a large wooden bar or frame.....so, if you yoke an ox and a donkey, for example, since they are very different in strength and size, one would lead and the other would be choked and dragged along...not making for very productive farming....
Also, I just discovered an error I made in my post, #318: I said IMPUTED RIGHTEOUNESS was how we change over time, with help of the Holy Spirit...
I actually meant IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS: sorry for any confusion!!!
FURTHER CLARIFICATION:
IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS: Gift of Salvation: Only have to receive Christ as Savior to receive it this gift.
IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS: How we are shaped toward holiness through Holy intervention and guidance, as well as our diligent study, discipleship and obedience to God...if we keep living a life of regular, repeated sin, we become spiritually stagnant and eventually will probably fall away from walking with God altogether. We can strengthen our imparted righteousness by seeking God and being obedient followers.
I have much to learn about the Word of God....but know the Holy Spirit will guide, as needed....
If you are curious about what all this Christian talk is about and live in the Southbay or in So Cal, I invite you to come to CHURCH ON THE BEACH, held all summer long by our outreach, starting next Sunday, May 25th, at 9am, in South Redondo, (At the end of the ESPLANADE , near Calle Miramar, just below Miramar park (the one with the dolphin statue), we're on the SAND at Torrance Beach...look for lots of people sitting in beach chairs....(not the AA group, lol)....there's Coffee/juice/water and an acoustic worship team....bring a beach chair/towel/ hat/ sunscreen/ come as you are.....send me an email if you have questions.....oh, if you surf, we paddle out at 7, if decent waves, before church...
God Bless YOU!!!! | |

But I think this above passage leaves the question open as to the state of the couple when they got married: it is not given definitively either way.

The above is talking about present tense. In reference to saying if presently your in a marriage and one becomes saved and the other is not, then don't just get divorced, but try to work it out at that point, unless the unbeliever wants out of the marriage, then the verses say that the believer is not held accountable should the non believer demand a devorce.
Ok, to give evidence to the idea that followers in Christ should not marry a non believer in the first place. I would say that is evident in the scriptures that follows.
From 2 Corinthians Chap 6 Verse 14-18
14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
I would say it is evident in the above that God is making it clear to Christians that we are not to be together in a marriage or a relationship with a non believer, as each of those passages indicate that the believer is to be seperated from the non believer. If you look at the word yoke. What does it mean?
Definition of YOKE: (from Latin to join) - a wooden bar or frame by which two draft animals (as oxen) are joined at the heads or necks for working together. (From Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary)
Literally: the Bible uses beasts of burden as an example. If a donkey and an ox are yoked together (which God forbid the people of Israel to do in Deuteronomy 22:10), the yoke will weigh heavily on one animal while choking the other, or as the animal with the longer stride moves ahead it will painfully drag the other along by the neck! They would not be able to pull smoothly or painlessly together and little work would get done. But when two animals of approximately the same size and weight are yoked together, they pull the plow smoothly, helping each other, and work is accomplished.
Spiritually: becoming attached to a person who does not share your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior can be just as painful and counterproductive as the illustration of the unequally yoked animals. Whether attached financially (as in a business partnership) or emotionally (as a spouse), you are connected to someone who cannot "pull" equally with you in life. Your connected with someone who the believer will always be at odds with the unbeliever.
If you think about it, imagine a marriage, how two people need to really come together to work towards a common goal and ideas more so then just even people who know eachother has friends. Look at the threads how much the non believers will fight with the believers, now imagine trying to bring the two together and trying to have a marriage work? lol.
As far as why some translations use a different word, that is because some new translations over the course of time were printed to try and make the harder words more easy to understand, which is not something I agree with doing, but that is why. | |

Posted: 5/21/2008 12:24:28 AM | Hmmmm...religion? Well I have to agree with the op on some of his points. There is quite a difference in those who believe in god and those that are religious.
1. There are those that believe in god and say they are religious.
2. There are those that practice religion.
3. There are those that have religious moral standards.
The first group is what I believe the op is referring to. Those that say they believe in god but don't practice religious views.
Like the Catholic woman I met once that was dating a married man. Not so Catholic now is she.
Or when reading one profile. Never married single mom with two kids that says she's Catholic. Not so Catholic again.
Now group two may be considered the bible thumpers but they have their beliefs and behave in ways that they think are religious. However, The Grahams can be placed in this group but when Billy's son who is carrying out his ministry goes out and says that all Hindus are lost and practicing the ways of the devil, and that he empowers any government to go and blow the evil Muslims to kingdom come. Me thinks that he ain't so Christian after all.
Now there is group 3. Which I am a member. Those that hold to a moral code that is the basis of most religions. My mother was a Catholic. Now I only saw her go to church on holidays. But by you me, she had the moral standards of a nun. And she said to me once how can a Catholic priest give advice on marriage issues if he has never slept with a woman? Good point mom!
So it seems the op's frustration comes from the fact he assumes that these women that are saying that they believe in god are from group 3, when in fact they are from group one. And why the boob shots? Well they want to get laid. Perhaps that's why the op clicked on them in the first place. I have the belief that most women have boobs so the ones that want to show them to me on the internet I avoid. Leaves nothing for the imagination. The op wants to get laid by these women simply tell them you believe in god too. Cause like I said if they are from group one they aren't so religious anyways.
I on the other hand believe in a god. Not perhaps the god that these women are talking about, but a god none the less. And the group 2 religious people would like to or have had ancestors that have burned people that believe in my god at the stake. Anyone here from Salem? But I believe it is ok to believe in a god. Whichever one you prefer. Believe it the devil if you must. There is a Church Of Satan. My understanding they are much like group one. They really don't worship the devil. They seemed to be just oversexed, wealthy anarchists, that believe some (them) are a priviledged. But where I was going with this was that an old business partner was Jewish, and his wife of my years was Catholic. Now these were good people with good moral values. Didn't matter what god they believed in. People with similar morals standards should be looking for each other. Not just because they say they believe in god.
Heck the Masons say to be a member you have to believe in "A" god, not god. It doesn't matter to them which god you believe in just have good moral standards and believe in some higher power. | |

Posted: 5/21/2008 8:28:57 AM | Its a matter of Faith as well as security
The Bible says not to be unequally yoked. Also, many preachers/pastors are saying that women should look for Godly men, and vice versa. And many faith based groups, really subscribe to, the man as the Priest of the house/family.
Okay away from some of the religious bases
women may have been hurt in any way, deceived, lied to, abused, abandoned or disrespected, etc; so in finding a man who also puts God first, or perhaps, at least respect the fact that God is first for her ( and for the man - understand what that really means or entails) and the man is accepting of that and is willing to be number 2 or 3 in the relationship; its all a for of security and knowing she's valued and respected.
Keep in mind for the other guys though, if you cant accept being second or third, and/or you have some issue with it; why are you persuing her in the first place? If you love her and want to be with her, her values and beliefs should be just as desirable as her personality and or looks. | |
