Judgemental Christians

[Danielswtt]

Great bro! How are you?

Blessed!

I’ve been a Christian now for about 7 years, and I’m finally encountering what I will call the wall of judgement from my Christian friends. It is not only in the area of dating, although this seems to be the topic that they care about the the most, but also in other areas like how often I read my Bible, or if I am serving others enough, or if I endure trials with joy because that is godly.

But I will focus on the area of dating. It is disheartening to me, and I don’t feel like I can date unless it is according to their standards. To clarify, we all agree on the Biblical stance regarding fornication. I’m referring to all the additional expectations they have.

For example:
-Online dating isn’t good.
-Don’t spend too much time taking to the other person because that means they are becoming your god.
-They aren’t good enough because they aren’t a “strong” Christian.
-Wait a certain amount of time between dating people.

My main question is this-how do you all deal with the way other Christians pressurize the dating environment?

Pray, seek God for wisdom and discernment, let the Holy Spirit guide you. It doesn't matter what others think, it only matters what God thinks.

The song would be about singing a new song to the Lord.

Sound of mine
Here’s your sign
My hearts on Fire, all the time

We will, worship You
Worship You
To the ends of the Earth
We will worship You.

(This is sounding like We Will Rock You by Queen, but Christianized). 😆

I don't think you would like that. I'm a real slave driver.

As long as you bring me my chilled, thawed from frozen, Reese’s you’ll be good. 😆



Can we have demands? 😮😁 Lol

 

[BenFTW]

Oh man... and I thought @shineyourlight was going to be the diva. The jury isn’t out on that one yet. 😄

@zeroturbulence Any demands? Lololol

 

[BenFTW]

I feel like @seoulsearch needs to be involved somehow. Definitely the bouncer, she would use brains though. lol She would be like Sherlock fighting, so calculated.

Yes, “the right price.” Fine, we will let you go on tour with us and, the biggest thing of all, I will share my Reese’s with you.

Haha, me? A diva? Puhleeeeeeze. I'm probably the least intense female on this PLANET.
