There are still some Churches around where holiness is preached. However, they are small Churches so not many members. The megachurches preach what the members want.

Doesn't men are less gullible these days. I mean your churches still use other lies to enslave many of the same men and their children into filling seats week after week. undecided

Plus, more and more of your pastors and mogs are into running their social clubs less like cults and more like businesses these days. undecided

I've answered your question.

If you have a friend that is male, that is a boy-friend
If you have a friend that is female, that is a girl-friend

What they do together is another matter wink

Romance is about GOODNESS OF LOVE OR THE LOVE OF AND FOR GOODNESS.

And Goodness dictates that you do not give dishonor, shame or ridicule or pain to any person, in line with THE LAW (Thou shalt do no wrong or evil thing).

So, the question is how and why therefore can you the hurt and wound the person you love?

Love is Good and always good and must only and always do only The Good.

So, read, watch a movie together, sleep in each others rooms BUT IN ALL THY DOINGS DO NOT DO ANY EVIL THING TO THY PARTNER.

AND THE 2 OF YOU ALREADY KNOW THE EVIL THINGS WHICH YOU CAN DO TO EACH OTHER.

What you said is in deed True.

However, This is another opportunity people have in Finding God and learning about Him as well as learning about themselves.

FOR GOD LOVES, LOVE. AND LOVE IS GOOD, SOOO VERY GOOD.

For in here, you have an opportunity to choose a greatly good future, (if you learn all that you are supposed to) or you shall enter into one of the several holes of a future full of despairs and failures and regrets and "how I wishes".

Love is an opportunity to have and find God and also save your life from death.

Love is one of the many helps God has given the children of men to save them from death which is why everyone has fallen into love.

But the world says and teaches "do not love".

Thank you Ma

You are welcome.

There are many voices out there - some saying abstain, some saying 'it's not evil, it's good' - know which voice to listen to.

bro you confusing romantic stuff with love...GOD IS LOVE.whoever have love in him.has God in him.you can only express love under the canopy of God's love...

Isn't romance in nature and spirit the motion and expression and declaration of love?

When a person is giving romance, is the person not giving pleasure?

Is the giving pleasure to another person an evil thing?

Is it not displeasure and unpleasantness that is the bad thing?
Re: There Were Days When The Church by Gointo: 6:46pm On Apr 29, 2022
bro you confusing romantic stuff with love...GOD IS LOVE.whoever have love in him.has God in him.you can only express love under the canopy of God's love... thats why lord jesus christ compress the laws into two commandment,i.e;(1)love the lord your God with all your heart,and might.
(2)love your neigbour as yourself.
To reiterate my earlier statement,this means no one can love his neigbour unless he love GOD first.. A man has known God when love is in him,since God is love,then it means God is in him.,
so he can now exhibit the fruit of love to all,that is why it is written love all,even your enemies.

People do not like receiving God, even the Israelites themselves did not agree to be bound with Him.
