Bible Question: Is there anything about our American custom of dating that violates Scriptural principles? Is dating, as we know it, proper preparation for Christian marriage? In addition to my fellow Americans, could someone also submit an answer from the viewpoint of a different culture or country? Has anyone read the book "I Kissed Dating Goodbye" by Josh Harris? If so, comments please. |
Bible Answer: Hi Again Kalos, You asked for a different perspective culturally. The following website outlines the Jewish marriage customs during Jesus' time. These customs are directly related to what Jesus was saying to his disciples in John 14:1-3: www.biblestudymanuals.net/jewish_marriage_customs.htm They outline a beautiful analogy that helpe us understand our relationship with Jesus. Hope this helps. Bows44 |
