1. My pastor once told me that people always see singleness as a curse.... yet it shouldn't! It's like.... the anti-curse

I dont quite get that, no it is not a curse to be single, but saying it is an anti-curse implys that Mairage is a curse and God did say "it is not good for man to be alone" back before he made Eve...

I agree Scribs.

And MSP...you can't date Jesus. You just can't. I think that God should always be our fulfillment, but I don't think it's necessary for our love for Him to replace our love for say....our parents, or even a boy/girlfriend. I think that our love for him can sometimes even be expressed in those relationships, by loving his children in the way we were meant to.

I really have no idea if any of that made sense. It did in my head, I promise.

yeah I know it's not an "anti-curse" i just couldn't find a better phrase to say

okay I got it. Basically singleness isn't a curse, yet we treat it like that. We need to focus on other things. And wait for his timing

1. Since when did I say we can date Jesus?

2. I didn't say that we had to replace our love for our parents or others. I'm just saying if you love somebody who doesn't love you back. Would you rather continue loving that person or love someone who DOES love you back? (ie Jesus) I am not reffering in a platonic type of love to others, I'm reffering to passionate feelings to a significant other. (However, having feelings for Christ would be......... weird, so for that it's like... passionate platonic love or something)

I said no.

You don't have to answer this, but if you don't mind my asking, what made you say no? Or was it something you didn't understand until later? You didn't really say what went into the decision.

Postby **Scribs** » Wed Dec 07, 2005 8:46 pm

Yeah, I see what you are saying MSP, it isnt a curse to be single, Paul certainly liked it

. I simply felt it was nessisary to make the "anti curse vs. just not a bad thing" distinction.

Singleness is a gift? Is that what you were after?

Gah, you are right!

No, it might be a bit big. XL.

But this is a bit off-topic.

Take my advice. Don't seek a person to date if you're desperate. I did, and it nearly destroyed me.

Yea. I've been following this thread lightly, and I agree with several points.

Singleness is a gift.
-there are many things you can do with much more ease as a single person, than as a married person. you can go galavanting off to india, w/o worring about supporting you and your spouse and (possibly) kids.
-you can invest in many many people, because of not having a family of your own to take care of. not that you can not invest after you have a family, but your focus changes dramaticly and you have to take care of them and their needs first.

You can not date Jesus.
-i understand what people are trying to get teens/single people to do, by the whole "dateing Jesus" thing... but its screwy. God is NOT your boyfriend/girlfriend. and while He is the only one who will truly satisfy you, and give you meaning to your life, do you seriously think you can have a dating relationship with the creator of the universe?
-you can GLORIFY Jesus in your dating relationships, just like you can disobey/dishonor Him. it isin't as simple as "being in luuuuv with Jesus". :eyeroll:

Do not rush into a relationship just to be in a relationship.
-that is so important! you can avoid so much by just waiting for God's timing. or at least good timing! even though i saw friends seek out relationships, i did the same thing, and got myself into something awful. so, it not that i've never had a bf, but i can speak from the other end of the spectrum, and say that i should have waited for the boy i'm with now, who is wonderful to me, and i would have saved myself alot of pain and baggage i'll cary around for the rest of my life. sounds over dramatic, but it isin't. wouldn't you rather wait for God's timing, than get into something of your own making?

Postby **Aka-chan** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 9:55 am

About dating Jesus...I agree that you can't have a boyfriend/girlfriend type relationship with someone as awesome as him, but I took the phrase more to mean spending the time and focus you might otherwise spend on a significant other on further praying, studying the Bible, and otherwise pursuing Jesus.

I didn't think about how the term could be dangerously misleading...you have a good point.

Postby **chibiphonebooth** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 9:58 am

i wonder if trogdor goes home and crys at night cause he doesnt have a girlfriend cause he is too scary and burninates things.

poor poor single trogdor.

ILL DATE YOU TROGDOR.

Isn't it curious that we have male members here complain about not having a girlfriend and yet we have yet to have any female members complain about not having a boyfriend? :eyebrow:

Postby **K. Ayato** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 12:52 pm

What's it matter? Singles should learn to appreciate being single.

Postby **chibiphonebooth** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 12:55 pm

im a female. and i yes, sometimes i get upset i dont have a boyfriend.

Postby **K. Ayato** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 1:00 pm

I didn't mean to be harsh. Sorry if it came out that way. And by no means did I imply that accepting one's being single is easy. Take it from me. I occassionally suffer from what I've dubbed the "loneliness blues" so again, I apologize.

Postby **Heart of Sword** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 2:54 pm

It stinks to be single. But I'm actually not. (I think?)

Speaking of stinks, my dog just farted...>_____<

Postby **CephasWhite** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 2:59 pm

I'm single, I'm proud of it, and when God gives me the special lady *looks up* I'll be happy and proud of that too.

Take a big whiff Heart-chan X3

You guys should enjoy being single. Being in a relationship can cause more pain than being alone. Plus, a relationship is a huge, huge commitment. You have to make sacrifices. Most of you are too young anyway...so enjoy being young and single while you can, trust me.

Postby **roadoffew** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 4:01 pm

It's like the song goes; "owner of a lonely heart is much better than a owner of a broken heart"

(If you say you don't understand what that means, I'm gonna slap you into next week)

I have never had a girlfriend.
