ChristianArtsy View Profile History	What are you expecting? Posted : 16 Jun, 2013 10:50 AM Call me on this if I�m wrong, but it seems to me that It�s not odd to read a brother�s profile where he bibically describes the woman he waits for God to send his way. ____ insert what comes to your mind here. Anyway, I was just wondering, because, well I don�t think exactly in those terms, well I mean, yeah a man who has the character of Christ course, but you know, he really doesn't have to be a Samson at his prime to build on a firm relationship with me you know, he doesn't have to be Paul or Adam. He has to be who God made him to be. So� I was just wondering how you gentlemen view the female point of view on these things. To be honest, I read these things and sometimes I really do wonder if 'some' brothers really understands what it is their ordering. Post Reply

View Profile History	What are you expecting? Posted : 16 Jun, 2013 01:54 PM I do not put such a thing on my profile, but I figure that most people (male and female) simply do not know what to say there, and so we just dream up whatever seems to be relevant. Since this is a Christian dating site then one would figure that the profile readers would want there to be a Christian type of profile info, and that can be a little tricky to do. I would not take any profile info too literally as it is hard for people to really mean what the people say they mean. Another distortion that I find is that very many if not most Christians (again males and females) have misunderstood the horrible "Virtuous Woman" of Proverbs 31. View it in the link here = http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2031&version=KJV See verse 1 as it tells that it is written by the Man's mother, who would thereby be the woman's mother-in-law, and as such it is asking for way too much and expecting way too much and surely it was never meant to be taken as some literal requirement from God. But Christians have it confused - as if a Man is to expect that from a Christian wife - and Women are to be that way - and that is not what it is saying. As to watering the camel, then I would expect that to be rather easy to figure out - as just take the camel to the water and let the camel do its own watering. :waving: Post Reply

View Profile History	What are you expecting? Posted : 17 Jun, 2013 04:28 AM When Christ tells us to not be unequally yoked together what does this mean to you? To me we have to be spiritually compatable not just christians. Dont fret over those who you see that set too high of a standard for you to achieve. They will either find her or they will not. Focus more on being available and knowiing what kind of man you can walk with. Nothing else matters does it? You see if you spend your time trying to change everyone you will possibly miss the one who unconditionally loves and accepts you and you unconditionally respect. Do you want this? No you do not. Just be your self and trust God. Post Reply
ChristianArtsy View Profile History	What are you expecting? Posted : 17 Jun, 2013 06:26 AM I know this isn't the study section, I'll keep it brief. Prov 31: I'll pass the urging for a man to be wise, cause that's not usually the focus of this scripture. There's speculation but no evidence that the King was actually Solomon. Regardless, this passage of wisdom addresses A KING, and possibly written by Bathsheba?? So with regard to a wife of a KING.. ther were servants standing by to d bathe and powder her. So if I had people dressing me, changing my kids, cooking, walking my dog, making my clothes, we're talking Royalty, a whole load of servants back in the day, wouldn't she have to get up before dawn.. to make sure THE SERVANTS have their responsibilities with regard to the PALACE. she's the boss. Budget, food, instructions, baby showers, balls. Course she/King would be the talk of the square, The King's happy, she's maintaining the guns, abs, daily feedign the needy, and there for the King. I'm always up for understanding, input bros?? << sincerely Post Reply

DontHitThatMark View Profile History	What are you expecting? Posted : 17 Jun, 2013 07:59 AM "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" It's probably best to have as few "requirements" as possible when looking for a potential partner. I don't think really understand what they want sometimes. Some people wonder why they're lonely, and it's probably because they paint themselves into a corner with all their requirements and insecurities and fears and trust issues. Try to be like Christ, and look for someone who is trying to be like Christ. Hobbies and similarities and preferences, etc are important, but keep an open mind. Don't reject someone simply because they don't have the specific hair/eyes/height/hobbies you prefer. :peace::peace: Post Reply
View Profile History	What are you expecting? Posted : 18 Jun, 2013 04:23 AM CA, Here is how this passage is truly lived out. Just because one is saved does this prevent them from unbelief? Unbelief is the opposite of faith and faith is trusting God. When a individual receives salvation (through faith) By trusting the provision of Christ for the covering of sin they become a child of God. This child needs to learn how to walk by faith in daily lifes activities. Faith is a outward expression of what has already occured inwardly. Trust...... Just because a individual has receives salvation through faith does not make then equally yoked in the faith expression of trust of God as another. Learning to trust God and walk by faith takes developing and in most cases time. Some individuals like my self have a real trust issue and it has taken most of my life to really know and trust God by faith. The woman I first married never learned how to trust God even though she has proclaimed Christ as savior one time. The woman I now have to be my wife trust God together with me. We walk by faith without knowiing what is ahead of us. Faith is the assurance of Gods soverienty over a given situation and letting go of controll and living as children before a heavenly and loving father. Their is a difference between faith and faithfulness. Watchout for the two in your life and those around you. One can be a faithful christian doing faithfully christian activities where all along they are riddled with fear and the need to controll everything and evereyone. You see this is why people marry an individual who is a activity driven individual thinking they were a good christian. They latter find out the truth and ask what happened? What happened is that the individual they married never developed faith ( trust ) in God. Their hearts were masked in religious activity. Giving the appearence of faith. I hope I explained this cleary enough for you that you now understand. Peace to you, Michael Post Reply
ChristianArtsy View Profile History	What are you expecting? Posted : 18 Jun, 2013 11:07 AM With respect Micheal, I actually do understand what you are saying: TO Me and my kind. No I didn't ask, and no it has nothing to do with the my comment, but it is the type of post I've seen from you here, and that's ok. Since you've added elements of, lets say personel, at least that is how i take it, please allow me the same, especially since, well, I guess I'm here because I am actually single, and have seen what those who have found what love is for them on this site, but will not let the site go, can do.. Maybe if you fee yourself up just a bit, in Christ we do have liberty, perhaps bring more of a shall we say fresh air, and less human (imperfect) judgement 'rule' to your relationship, you could only benefit from that, but you'd have to shift your focus a bit, God made all the stuff out there you don't look at as well you know, some of it pretty dawn wonderful.. just a thought.

Posted : 18 Jun, 2013 12:33 PM Hi CA, and to Michael, I have wanted to say some thing about Michael for a rather long time now but I have held back, so I do not want you to stand alone on this one. Michael tells us that he is married, and then he preaches onto different threads, and like here on your thread he is not talking about the subject, and he shows no regard for the fact that we others here are speaking about being single on a Christian singles forum. Really Michael - maybe you could consider that it is time for you to move on? And that is no being negative personal - as you are a married Man so go be a married Man, as us single people can manage on our own. Post Reply
