Bible Question:
I certainly agree. A trusting parent is not a submissive parent, and if indeed my home were without discipline, I should doubtless be the worse for it. They do not avoid the obvious in their parenting, nor show restraint in questioning suspicious behavior, as parents should, only they trust my actions without 'exasperating.' Very different, trust and permissive. And that goofy language can probably be attributed to Russian literature. Also, if you have the time, could you elaborate on your coment about modern dating, in relation to the Bible, the influence of culture, and the aim of dating? I would greatly appreciate it. |
Bible Answer: Review what charis said and read the books. The Bible really doesn't cover dating per say. The Western culture has influenced dating ... which is to put on a show to get the other person do something (for some, dare I say most). Courtship is better, I think. Spend time in a group ... or in the nursery and with preschoolers at church. If I would counsel anyone who wanted to date, and even more engaged couples they need to spend time with little ones. Get to know the person without phyiscal contact ... and even just write/call them. I speak from expereince ... it lets both know alot. Searcher |
