It is no news that the major issue that befall Christian teens (even young adults) is the issue of relationship. Almost everyone wants to be in a relationship for one reason or the other. But in the Christendom-in certain churches by some teachers', dating is a bad thing for a christain youth. When you ask them why? They will give reasons like : *It is not in the Bible *It is a sin *Jesus did not have girlfriend...etc. Most youths reply these answers with : *Don't Pastors get married *It is not a sin *The Bible does not say you can't have a gf/bf *How will u treat ur future spouse if you have no experience...etc. Now my question is, Is it really Biblical that Christian Youths shouldn't be in any relationship? Is it wrong? OR It is proper depending on the relationship? In short, What is your opinion about this issue?? |

Dating means to meet and iron out issues between two or more people. It has never been restricted to male and female. Where two or three or more are gathered in my name, I shall be there with them, so says the Bible. |

orunto27:Am talking about the dating of being in a relationship. It takes two to be in a relationship. Not talking bout the gathering in God's name. |

Pls nobody should play God no man can tell u want is sin or not, he/she can't judge they are not God, every wrong is in the bible and whichever is not there God gave us common sense an a discerning spirit to discern wat is wrong or right but God didn't tell us to classify sin or no sin dats not our jobs ....godly relatnship isn't a sin as long as you abstain from "all appearance of evil" "ALL!!!" so if u lady and a guy dates with the mindset of getting married one day it's not a big deal. But wen u talk of youth pls withing which age brackets I cnt allow my 13-18years old date a guy for Wateva reason. Although I cnt control her life tho dis love feeling can come very aggressive @ times so I just have to give her and allow her love but "watch her" but ideal someone from 20years should date..but a "PURPOSEFUL" relatnship and "NO SEX" even God will be pleased with you 2 Likes |

Funny enough, There is no such thing as Dating anymore. 2 People come together to engage in a sporting activity called sex. It is very rare to see a relationship void of rugged sex. |

personally, platonic relationship as a believer is cool provided u get to encourage each other spiritually, anything intimate or sexual relationship as a believer to me is wrong. |

permsec:So true! Sex is now seen as a casual thing.  A relationship without sex is termed "dead" which is not supposed to be...pple should look beyond sex as d reason/motive for being in a relationship. |
