Bible Question: Is it right for a born-again Christian child to be involved in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship? |
Bible Answer: Friend, The boyfriend-girlfriend relationship is a rather contemporary one. And, it is only found in the developed world where Christian values are very like the world. We are not to be like the world at all. Yet we do exactly what the world does and call it by another name. Just as Israel did. One warning I can't get over when it comes to these defiling relationships is: Matthew 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Now all this is in the heart! Matthew 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: The girlfriend-boyfriend relationship is nowhere in the scriptures recognized. Especially because it is very rarely with any intentions of marriage. 1 Corinthians 7:1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. We live in very dark times, it is getting worse. There is a movement making ready the revealing of the anti-christ. And these movement is very subtle making mankind numb to the standards of Christ. We make thing seem okay because they meet the needs of the flesh-this is enmity with God! God Bless. |
