Problems:
- their parents: is it honoring? is it respectful? we need to find out. grow some balls and ask. i believe if they approve, then voi la.
- them: same question is it honoring? is it respectful? are we destroying their image, their reputation with this ambiguity? I believe so because they are being "cheated" by this half assed relationship. People think were going out, but were not... so they arnt deserving our full ...responsibility? We are not treating them like our girlfriends nor are we treating them as any other girl... so they are getting jacked.
- God: how could we possibly glorify God in this situation? Well, according to Jay's response.. dating is not mentioned in the bible.. so its kinda iffy. But dating/relationship is ultimately for marriage. But if your intentions are right, if you TRULY love this girl... then why do you have to be the "godliest" person? As long as you believe that God is in control of your life, you have the desire to seek the truth... to change, to tranform more Christlike then i believe there is nothing wrong with a relationship. in this partnership you will help each other develop and grow spiritually and "lead" her to worship God. What does it mean to lead her? I think what this means is that you will be the one holding fast. It is your responsibility to ensure of HER needs, HER safety, HER faith. Providing? Well, obviously we cannot provide for them...so what happens? We are only teenagers, how are we suppose to provide money wise? We dont. What we do/can provide is ourselves. We give them our sincerity, because they are a creation of God, and that is what we should provide for Him. intentions of the heart... what IS the intention of your heart?
