Author	Thread: You said you did what for me?
Admin	You said you did what for me? Posted : 3 Feb, 2012 05:43 AM Please read the following story and give your thoughts thanks. Jake has a friend named Samantha, they met through mutual friends and decided to stay in touch. Their friendship grew and Samantha who is a born again believer, loves the Lord with all her heart, is in ministry and has shared the love of Jesus with Jake. Funny thing; love, Samantha loves Jesus and Jake has fallen in love with her. He's kinda shy around her and it makes for an endearing sight for he doesn't know how to tell her and he always comes off as awkward. Then one day after many invitations he comes to church and goes into the prayer line to accept Jesus into His heart. After a while he makes other friends who encourage him in the faith but he only has eyes for Sam. He to tries to involve himself in the church. One day while hanging out together Jake works up the courage and kisses Sam. Taken aback she asks why did he do that? Because I like you. She smiles softly and looks at him. "Jake I like you too... but--" "Then let's try to make something work between us!" he says boldly, Sam is full of regret, "Jake although I like you maybe a relationship isn't what we need right now, you're fairly new to the faith and you should take time to work on that relationship before you try one now." Jake clearly upset rears back and starts pacing, "Are you serious?! You invited me so I came, I got saved and started involving myself and now we can't be together?" Sam's eyes widens as realization and asks the questions she now already knows the answer too. "Jake did you come to church and accept Christ to be with me?" He looks her square in the eye "Yes." and storms off angrily. To be continued.... Thoughts? Comments? I don't really want to ask direct questions here as to guide thinking but after reading give it some thought and tell me what do you think of such a situation? Post Reply

Posted : 9 Feb, 2012 09:22 PM After reading the story and comments I believe my brother Devotedlove was right when saying a woman shouldn't (one on one) minister to a man, for the man is the head. We as Christians should care for the salvation of the lost, but look this guy Jake left the church and many do in situations like these. I believe an abundance of wisdom needs to be used when dealing with the salvation of the opposite sex. Jake was already an unbeliever no need to add insult to injury and give him a reason to be bitter also. Post Reply

Posted : 10 Feb, 2012 06:51 PM Even among those who believe the man is to be "the head of the household," those people don't hold to the man being the head of EVERYTHING. A women who believes that the wife should be submissive is not required to submit to every man, on the grounds that they are a man. ESPECIALLY not a man who isn't a Christian, if that is the argument. Stop shaming the woman in the story for having a normal friendship with a guy. Post Reply
View Profile History	You said you did what for me? Posted : 10 Feb, 2012 10:16 PM I don't understand your argumentative tone, but I'm in no way judging the girl. I'm simply saying much wisdom is required when dealing with the salvation of another, especially the opposite sex. If Christ is the groom(also known as the Head) and we are His bride(the church or body) this speaks volumes of the role of the man since only a man can be the groom(head). Food for thought. No one needs to always be right, but we all need to be willing to be corrected. Peace be with you. Post Reply
