LoginAnd since dating is the first step toward marriage, it follows that Christians should not date non-Christians either. But many people think this is the ideal rather than the norm. I have met so many believers who—when times got tough or lonely—ditched that rule and started a relationship with an unbeliever. And sadly, that may be true, but being a Christian is about so much more than just being a moral person. Being a believer means that your relationship with God has absolutely, entirely and clearly changed your life. If you are a believer and profess to have a relationship with Jesus Christ, there is no getting around the fact that this is by far the most influential relationship you will ever have. Through marriage, you are choosing to become one body with another human being 2 Corinthians You are joining your hearts, your minds and your very bodies in an intimate and sacred connection. At the end of the day, there is no replacing the deep intimacy that comes when you are physically, emotionally and spiritually connected to another human being.
Like many who grew up in the church, I was taught as a teenager that dating outside of my faith could only be damaging to me. At one point, I even signed a leadership agreement in my youth group that stated that I would not have a romantic relationship with anyone who was not a Christian. Interpretations of 2 Corinthians have a lot to answer for in this discussion. Although many who interpret the verse removed from its context perceive the message of the verse to be clear, a closer reading reveals a much more complicated picture. Nowhere else does Paul seem to draw such stark lines between believers and unbelievers—elsewhere, he even goes so far as to say that it is fine to eat food sacrificed to idols, at least implying some form of relationship with the idol worshippers.
Dating is tricky and very complicated. There are a lot of factors to take into consideration. There are so many ways to meet someone these days: online, through an app, by speed dating, being set up on a blind date, and more. From there, though, you are talking to a complete stranger.
It was from none other than the Walmart parking lot cart guy himself! After weeks of catching him stare at me every time I pulled up, he finally cleverly spilled his interest in me. But the bigger reason I said no was because of something much more important.
