Do you have a forum for widows/widowers

[MatthewFreeman]

Not sure if you all know this or not, but for the first time in our nation's history there are more single 20-somethings than married...

It makes sense, given that we live in an ever-increasingly isolated and self-interested culture.

At least you don't have to worry about whether to put Mr. or Mrs. on the address line...

I'll always be putting Mr. on the address line.  I hope when I get married that I never get confused with that one!  LOL, just thought I had to take a jab

Keep going to school.  Someday your own kids will grow up.  You might want to be a teacher, or something else that deals with kids, and then that degree might just come in handy.

FORNICATION: WHAT IS IT? WHEN IS IT COMMITTED?

1Corinthians 6:18; 1Corinthians 7:1-2;

Fornication is the incontinence or lewdness of unmarried persons, male or female. Occasionally, it means unchastity. Hebrews 13:4; It is a sexual intercourse a person and a unmarried person – 1Corinthians 5:1

Up to this day, this truth is well understood in the Middle East, Greece , Turkey , Syrians Christian living in Iraq , Palestine . These countries have upheld God’s word that women should be virgins up to the day of their marriage, there must be proof that they are virgins, and if they are not, they can be PUT AWY right then, the same night.

Now here is how it is done based on God’s word: We read in the Bible about the token of virginity. The day of the marriage, the parents of the girl give some kind of towel or cloth, and after her virginity is broken, the blood will be wiped on that cloth, and that cloth is given back to the parents of the girl to keep as a PROOF that their daughter was a virgin when she married. As soon as they get the bloody cloth, the parents proudly dance before the guests with joy that their daughter was a virgin. If she was not a virgin, sometimes the father & brothers kill the girl right there. But if they do not kill her, the bridegroom can put her away right then, and marry someone else. Such customs are still practiced in remote villages & towns in Greece , Turkey , and the Middle East .

When Joseph saw Mary was with a child, he thought of “putting Mary away privately” Because he was a just man, he did not want to make a public example, but thought to do it privately. Then the Angel of the Lord appeared to him that Mary was not a Fornicator, but that the Holy Ghost had come upon her and she was still a virgin that would give birth to the Son of God. Fornication is sex before marriage, but Adultery is unfaithfulness after marriage. And Jesus never gave excuse for anyone to divorce for Adultery… only Fornication in night of marriage…not after you have live with her for a week. So Fornication is not always a reason accepted with God. If you married her knowing she is not a virgin, you can’t put her away or divorce her if she does not please you…..or if you want some body else down the way!

Read Matthew 5:28; 1Timothy 2:9; 1Corinthians 6:13b, 3:16a, 17a.

DATING IN CHRISTIANITY…COULD BE DANGEROUS IN PARTNER'S SELECTION!

Read Proverbs 2:7-27; Ecclesiastes 11:9-10, 2Timothy 2:22; Colossians 3:5, Romans 12:1-12; 1John 2:15-17, 2corinthians 6:1-4, 14-18

 

Dating – The habit of letting two young folks or older folks out together to try each other. It is a custom imported from the world into the Christianity because it never happened in the Bible days. The theory of try first and get acquainted is a strange fire, “sweetheart meeting” to bring boys of 14 and 16 and 17 who are not dry enough behind their ears, and have not finished their schooling yet have their girlfriends (Sin partners)  which they take to “drive – ins “ and park by themselves ….. and imagine what will happen when you put two fires together and expose them to passion and youthful lust !!! Then parents cry and weep when they find so many of the present day marriages are not lasting! Why? Because these boys and girls are so used to having so many affairs with different girls that they go back to the old life easily. And marriage is no more taught as holy sacred union that cannot be broken for life, as the scripture declares!

God is a God of orderliness, when a young man has established himself in a profession and began to earn enough money whereby he can feed himself and a wife, then he should start praying that the Lord will guide to God’s choice for him to be a helpmate and establish a home and raise Godly seed. At that time, through prayer and waiting on God, He will surely guide him to the right one he has prepare for him to accomplish God’s great plan in their life.

God children should not run around like dogs and cats… date this one and hug the other, kissing, and flirting to gratify the lusts of the flesh! as this is all sinful and whoredom in the eyes of the Lord. We are called unto holiness whether we are single or married.

Parents, how are you dressing your girls? In a way to attract Boys? Why do you want her to attract boys before you want her to get married! For a pleasure? Fun (immorality)? Who told you that your girl will never get married if you don’t allow her like other girls, who dress up in lustful attire to seduce boys and men? That is a bunch of lies of the devil. “God has promised Not to withhold any good things from those that walk uprightly” (Psalm 84:11}. Read Deuteronomy22:13-21.

Ladies’ (Girls) security and assurance of a permanent marriage is in her virginity till the she marries? In the Middle East, in Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, and Syria, just as the Bible teaches…when parents give their girl to be married, both parents of the two parties stay outside awake, the same night they come together and a handkerchief is given to the man that when he enters to sleep with his wife, he will use the handkerchief to wipe the blood when her virginity is broken and that handkerchief is given immediately to the parents of the girl, who are very proud of it because they gave a virgin to be married and not that has been played with before; and the handkerchief is called “token of her virginity”.

This is why family life is preserved in those countries more than in the so-called advanced nations. where so much liberty is given that leads them into corruption. Now, the advanced nations has turned to be more barbarians, morally and physically than the savages! Looking at the rate of rape and killing and murder including abortions, we have in the advanced nations and the divorce is greater today than the marriage rate, you seldom here of even one divorce in the Middle East . Read Ezekiel 43:8-9; Hosea 4:11-14; Ephesians 5:5-8; Hebrews 13:4. No Whoremonger or unclean person…hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words; if you have to walk all alone for a time, God will lead to your own bone of the bone, and flesh of your flesh that want to be holy and have real JOY and happiness and not the dregs of the cup of sin and darkness that brings disappointments.

So what goes on in dating and all the flirting and inordinate affections and hugging is uncleanness and whoredom and all that do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God . Ephesians 5:5.

Girls who dress immodestly and stir lust in boys or men will be judged by God unchanging law. For God did not create man just for sex gratification but for His own glory, to show forth the praise of God in all things we do (Isaiah 43:21).

[tracice]

To the person who said they would like to know what goes on in our hearts and heads; its probably the same as what went on in yours when you were single

As a single....what I think about is.....the remote is ALL MINE! 

   what about Godly Americans

[lismore]

Should we start calling you Unhitched-Americans, Single-Americans, Unyoked-Americans, or Noncovenantal-Americans?

What about singles who are not Americans? 

[truby]

I understand that you want to be a stay at home mom. I think that you should continue schooling/ keep busy doing the Lord's work. He know what your desires are. Trust me, you'd rather stay the way you are until the right man find you instead of you trying to jump in because of your age. So many wish that they had waited but the biological clock was ticking so they jumped in head first and regreted it until this day. Just work on yourself and when Mr. right comes along you will be even better than you are today. Remember, don't settle for less!

I love the idea and the ideal -

However, I am 51yo, been well employed for years - and still waiting... AND more important - I am not close to being alone.  It seems you have not made much of an effort to be in touch with a large number of singles - I think that will bring reality to bear on the sad state of older Christian singles....

Best,
