You know I was reading these posts and I realized that you guys needed to vent and I'm glad you got the opportunity to do so. I do not believe that it came from a place of anger but one of frustration. What I think we all have to understand is that "preferences" (sorry Rabbit I know you might hate that word lol) have been instilled by us by culture, situations, even familial living. There are those of us who are fortunate in rising above it through the help of Jesus. I had a long list of what I wanted ... when I was twelve! You need to be patient or just move on from the situation instead of letting it frustrate you. You're not always going to meet people that are going to think like you do. Many people write me off because I live in the Caribbean as though I am some backward indweller in a grass skirt but you know what? that's okay too lol! If they never want to move beyond preference, looks and location they may have missed out on something beautiful. Right now I am letting God renew my heart in such matters, it's hard to let go of what dreams you may have for the will of God. But who's to say He won't bring that person to you also. We need to stop limiting God in having preferences and in not having any.( It made sense in my brain lol) :waving: I love all you guys.



Kelly.

It is Wise to have Preferences!

Especially, when meeting out there in Cyberspace.

Put all your preference on your Profile.:laugh:

God made each of us a little or a lot different for a reason. We should be very choosy in who we consider for a mate. Not necessarily on looks but on the character, personality, and most definitely on Christianiaty.



Unequally yoked means more than just Christian and non-Christian. There are many other factors that should be considered and are generally covered on pre-marital counseling.



Whether yosu call it courting, dating, friendship, or whatever, we are looking for the one God has chosen, not who we choose. Our preferences could be God's way of leading us to the right person.



I see many couples around the world that you have to stop and wonder how they came together...but they are happily married. If someone 'rejects' you consider it's God's way of telling you that was not the one for you. There are lots of others out there...you shouldn't get hung up on the fact that a particular person isn't interested in you.



Another thing to consider is there are quite a few "hackers" on these sites...even the paying ones...that hijack some accounts. I was having a friendly exchange on a site when my account was hijacked...when I got it straightened out, the gentleman wouldn't talk to me because he thought I was scamming him.

see dont you get it when your "very choosey" more than likley you cannot rise to the level that you set by yourself or a mans reciprocle standards thereby severly limiting yourself....ya'll a man or a woman who is mature in Christ is extremely rare and they are the ones who know how to, and are readyy for the type of marriage that is best....I think we get our prioities mixxed up, and preffernces supcede biblical standards....and believe me Ive seen some prfiles w/ their list and couldnt help but think good luck with that lol

I am ok if I never marry again. Is that my choice, no but I will accept it if it is God's choice for me. I keep the doors I can open to allow God to do His work. My way didn't work so well and when I thought it was God's way, I still took charge. So now I am content with being single or marrying. If I ever do marry, I want to marry a man who is my friend and confidante as looks fade but the heart should grow fonder.



I'm not sure what entitlement syndrome is...actually I have no clue as to what the reference is for. The only thing I know I'm entitled to is a place in He'll. Thankfully that debt has been paid in full.

I can think of two relevant scriptures:



When Isaac's servant goes off to find him a wife. He asked God for a particular sign and he got it! Doesn't say anything about whether Rebekah was a minger or not, or if she 'ticked' any of Isaac's boxes...



Peter's vision of the sheet with all kinds of unclean animals. He may have been brought up to seek certain types but God opened his horizons to those he'd never considered eligible!



I've said it before and I'll say it again, we ask God for things and He answers - but HE chooses the way He answers, not us!

Abraham's servant was given very specific instructions on where to go and what family to look at for the appropriate spouse for Isaac.



The example for Peter was for witnessing, not for dating. God was showing him that all people were eligible for Salvation.



Jacob was picky about who he married. He could have settled for Leah, but he was drawn to Rachel and worked another 7 years to marry her.



In 1 Timothy 3:11 the Bible provides guidelines for the wife of a bishop...grave, not slanderous, sober, faithful



1Timothy 3:2-3 provides guidelines for a bishop(preacher). Blameless, vigilant, sober, hospitable, not given to wine, not a hitter, not greedy, patient, not covetous, not a fighter, etc.



If a woman is looking to be the spouse of a potential preacher, she should be setting her standards at that level.

You've entirely missed the points I was making. The servant didn't choose Isaac's wife-to-be (even if he was told where to go to find her) - God did. And Isaac accepted God's choice; he could have said thanks, but she's not my type, and continued waiting for "mrs. right" to appear.



As for Peter's vision, the actual command was to "get up, kill and eat" all sorts of unclean animals which the law had forbidden - Peter wasn't thinking about witnessing though, he was hungry! The vision said nothing about gentiles coming to faith, etc. yet put into that context Peter understood it's purpose. But here's the rub, it wasn't a specific vision about Peter witnessing to Cornelius because it's a universal message not to write off things that God Himself hasn't.
