Can you recommend a Christian dating site

I had to think about this question and the postings after.
The Bible offers several insights regarding finding a wife, emphasizing both divine guidance and personal responsibility.

  1. Divine Guidance: The Bible teaches that God is involved in our lives, including in relationships. Proverbs 19:14 says, "Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the Lord." This verse suggests that God can bless someone with a wise and virtuous wife. Additionally, Proverbs 18:22 states, "He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord," which underscores marriage as a divine blessing.
  2. Personal Responsibility and Virtue: While God may guide, the Bible also emphasizes the importance of wisdom and personal choices in relationships. For example, Proverbs 31 describes the characteristics of a virtuous wife, highlighting attributes such as hard work, wisdom, and care for her family. This suggests that a man should seek these qualities and be intentional in his search.
  3. Trusting in God’s Timing and Path: Passages like Proverbs 3:5-6 encourage trust in God's direction in all areas of life, including relationships: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." This implies that seeking God’s guidance through prayer and trust is key.
  4. Walking in Wisdom: Scriptures also instruct individuals to follow a path of wisdom. Ephesians 5:15-17 advises, "Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is." This encourages Christians to seek wisdom in their decisions, including finding a spouse.
In summary, the Bible suggests a balance between trusting God for guidance and being wise and proactive in seeking a spouse. Prayer, seeking God's will, and looking for a spouse with godly virtues are common themes.
I tend to look at life as a too things. One is Freewill to take, and create paths I want. Two, to pray for path that God may answer.
The difference is, #1 depend on me 100% making the right choices and path, #2 Helps me take path in a way that pleases God.
When it comes to God and Dating sites. There exist no biblical reason I can find that God did not point the person to such a site, if it was indeed
prayed upon and a path was presented.
Just My Opinion and My Perspective.

Well Forgiven that reads some different from your post 26. Still Nice to know you have some doctrinal compass. You be the Baptist. Ok . I do say and do think the last time we saw any love between each other was against the English in 1776 🙈

At least there is a chance that they are Christian. Its better odds than going to a secular dating site.

Yes thats true.
The one I visited was rife with hook up culture. It even had a forum for you to generate everyday conversations to see if you click with each other.
But in the end, I left after a month because one guy insisted he come to my house to pick me up...he was hot and all but I just didnt feel like I could let him come to my house and pick me up and he insisted and I insisted and It put me off.

A gent would not push boundaries.

Happy hunting Wan.

In awe of him be careful. You might be spanked for being funny to you know. New site rule you know : )
 
I agree with Via. Changing Wan's thread to a discussion on different denominations is showing no respect for the person who started the thread.
And that has always been expected by everyone. There is nothing wrong with starting a new thread.
 
I was trying to think how to word this correctly Wan.

Dating sites, in mho opinion should be treated like a blind date.
If people can lie at a blind date they can definitely lie online.
I am not saying this to discourage you. But I buy/sell things locally here on FB auction we have.
I wont meet at my house, and I have to meet in public place that has cameras. I wont give out any details about me.
And that us just to buy/sell items under 20.00 sometimes, So a dating site where stranger have my life history is not something
I would do. I tend to be now coming up on 62 not near as trusting as I used to be. Been able to avoid being robbed three times and
car jacked another. And almost shot twice. Just being out and about in this world we live in.
I want you to be happy, Wan, find that someone that makes a Life with God wonderful to share with.
I think what I keep reading from everyone is there are many places to try and choose from. But be careful.
As I started with, if it was me. I would find a place that allowed me to be safe. Try reading reviews on the sites and see if you can get a
feel how they protect you and your privacy.
I have thought about this thread since it started and prayed each day over it. Not trying to add paranoia to your trek.
But I think I know people, and phycology very well. Be careful... 🙏
