Do you think online dating goes against waiting on the Lord?

NEVER! Accuracy would interfere terribly with some of her favorite criticisms of Americans.

let God do his work in you first. then when your ready, he will put the right person in your life. who knows you better than the one who made you, and the other person,

I also advocate for searching. You don't get employed, generally, by waiting for a job to come to you. Isaac's wife was brought to him after an active search.

nothing wrong with dating,

It rarly works like that and those who think it does are likely in for a disappointing wait.

Dating should be used to audition a potential mate and not to pass the time while waiting.

If one waits too long to find their "perfect someone", they'll be carbon dating....

the perfect person in your life should be Jesus, if you have Jesus you have everything.

dating is way to talk to someone get to know someone, no movie's,

Good one.

my 2nd answer is this: Romans 8:28- "and we KNOW ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER for good......." sure, God can use online dating.

nope
I prefer creativity and being original, it shows you are willing to risk and make mistakes. And to be forgiven.

Pefectionists arent my bag.

scammers are more prelavent online though, its just opened up a bigger world thanks to globalization.

I remember when internet was new, and people back then did have concerns about porn and bad stuff online. And that has all happened as predicted. But there are good things online too. People dont stop sinning when they go online though.


They still have things like swingers dating clubs etc and places where you go to have affairs for marrieds and pretend you are single. Just like newspapers have alway had ads for 'adult entertainment'. They never did away with that cos it makes them money.

Romans 8:28

Well if it is God's will u can meet ur Christian and God fearing partner online, same as u meeting him or her on the street then u guys will studying each other and so praying as well.

Very clever, about the carbon dating. I might just use that phrase myself. I could use some new material.

what?
Magenta, what are you implying?
There are lots of men here who are divorced and widowed looking for a wife. But they be not following what Paul wrote/advised.
1 corinthians 7:27 ...you can read it in any translation, I read the KJV

Does not say anything about looking for husbands though

Jesus DID talk about ten virgins waiting for the bridegroom five foolish and five wise. I dont know why there were ten. It does not say they set dates and went round looking for him. But they wise ones had oil in their lamps and the foolish ones didnt.

see Matthew 25:1-15

Were men allowed to marry ten virgins back in the day?

I say cast a wide net when looking for your future beloved. Online, offline, however you can.
