Christian dating sites

[Charlie+]

I signed up on a Christian Dating site and met up with a guy from there this week. He was asking me what Church I go to and told him I go to several. I said I am Anglican but love Catholic Mass as well so go to both - he said to me "You are not a very good Christian girl then are you (if you are not an active helper in one Church)". I did not know what to say! Am I over-reacting - I think it is very rude and hurtful thing to accuse someone of. I think your personal relationship with God is more important than attending Church every week - not everyone who goes to Church every week can say they have a personal relationship with God. :amen

Why is it so hard to meet a kind and faithful man!

Sorry for rambling!

LOL hmmmmm. He was judging you. Being that he was this way initially, what is expected of him in the future? Finding a partner is a difficult task.
works wonders.

No. You should have planted a swift kick to the knee or shine. That would have been an appropriate course of action.

They don't exist.

I don't join a church but I do go. I like going to church but i don't like joining them. I have tried dating sites but haven't had success yet. i agree it is more about your relationship with God than how often you go to church not that church isn't important.

Wow. I'm not sure I would say that to someone on a first date! :bigfrown

While I'm sure you have a valid point that not all people who go to church have a good relationship with God, I think that being part of a church is essential in our walk with Him. I'm not talking about "joining", I think the ritualistic requirements can get out of hand. But the bible tells us we need to gather together with other believers. As Paul states in 1 Cor. , we are all many members of one body, the body of Christ. We are also given gifts by God when we become believers, to operate within the church. If we are not part of the church, then not only are we not benefiting from others' gifts, but we deprive others of the gifts we have.

I attend a very good bible teaching church presently, and while there is no official "membership", there are so many opportunities to serve the Lord. I think that finding a home church you are comfortable in is vital. How better to make a commitment and get involved?

I know dating can be hard, and finding a good, God loving and fearing man can be hard. But I'm holding out hope that there are some out there somewhere! :distorted

Interesting. Seems every dating site (Christian or secular) I can never find a girl who will actually respond. Well the few who do are always spammers for that matter.
