The Beauty Of Truth - by bruce potter

DATELESS IN CHRISTIAN-VILLE

August 28th 2006 06:36
So i'm a church-goer and am pretty involve with church life. That's besides the point. The point is... ...

NO ONE SEEMS TO BE IN THE DATING SCENE AT CHURCH!! What is up with that?

I mean seriously, hardly anyone is dating anyone at all. Dating as a whole seems to be like an unspoken thing in church. Everyone seems to be avoiding the topic of dating and relationships. Why is that so? You would expect that, with the kind of principles and values the church teaches, the church should be one of the best places in setting a safe and healthy environment for true, genuine relationships to grow.


Maybe its the whole "commitment" thing that everyone is afraid of. What are your views??

I come from a Christian background - many moons ago before I became one of Satan's hordes that is. Dating back then was looked upon with contempt. I remember trying it on as a teenager only to be ostracised for years afterward. Religion makes dating scary...'Grandma with a moustache' scary.

Cher ...

Some of the reasons there's not much dating going on in the Church scene? ...

There's not enough sermons on why God created Eve and said, "It is not good for man to be alone." ...

There's not enough sermons on the hidden life (simple family life) of Jesus Mary and Joseph at Nazareth (too much focus on Christ's public ministry) ...

There's not enough sermons on the parents of the Saints ... (and why the children became saints ... and how they came into existence ... (as in ... mummy and daddy did actually procreate ...

But principally? There's not enough sermons on Love ... (too much focus on the charisma aspect of the early primitive church ... [St Paul and the Acts of the Apostles ... [speaking in tongues etc ... [whereas they should read the Epistles of St John the Evangelist more ... "Little Children. Love one another." ... That was his message ... and he learned that one from leaning his head on the Divine / Sacred Heart ... (When St John was a 90 year old man? ... He only ever said one thing ... "Little children, Love one another." ... People wanted a flowery sermon ... and complained ... He told them ... that was all that needed to be said ... and that it was a summary of everything he had learned from Christ Himself ...
