Is Dating Acceptable Behaviour for Christians?
Should You Date Before Marriage?
Below, You Will Get All The Answers You Always Wanted to Ask Your Pastor But Where Afraid of Asking…
Introduction
In Today’s Article, I Will Discuss The First Date And What The Holy Bible Thinks Of It.
If You Are A Christian, Like I Am, It Is Important To Not Get To Lost In The Views That
Science Or This World Offers.
Some Of The Facts They Present Are Actually Not Harmful But Talks About The Human
Level Of Dating, While Other Facts, Are Harmful And Not How I Think That Christians
Should Be Dating Today.
We Are Living In This World, But We Are Not Of This World.
Let Us Examine What The Bible Tells Us About First Dates Then…
Dating Is Not A Biblical Word
The Fact Is That Dating Is Not A Word In Neither Biblical Hebrew, Aramaic Nor Greek.
These Are The Three Original Languages That The Bible Is Written In.
The Word “Date” Is Referring To The Sweet Fruit From The Date Trees.
Courting Or Introduction Is Referred To Although The Words Are Missing In The Biblical Texts.
The Ways A Man Can Show Interest In A Woman Is Described, But The Holy Bible Uses Other Words.
But The Holy Bible Uses Other Words.
For Instance, The Song Of Songs (Also Known As The Songs Of Solomon) Is A Great
Book For Those Who Wants To Learn About The Human Side Of Dating As Well.
Mostly, When I Am Talking About Biblical Dating, It Is The Description
Of How Isaac And Rebekah (Genesis 24), Jacob And Rachel (Genesis 29), Moses And Zipporah (Exodus 2),
Samson And Delilah (Judges 16), Abigail And King David (1 Samuel 25)
And King Solomon And The Queen Of Sheba (1 Kings 10, 2 Chronicles 9) All Fell In Love With Each Other.
If We Then Look Into What The New Testament Says About How The Marriage
Between A Man And, A Woman Should Refer To The Love That Christ Feels For
His Bride, The Congregation (Ephesians 5:25).
What The Holy Bible Actually Says About First Dates
So Now, Do We Find Anything In These Bible Stories That Could Be Interpreted
As A Biblical View On First Dates?
Most Of The Biblical Stories That I Refer To Above Does Not Inform Us Much About The Details.
When We Read The Bible It Mostly Says That “He Fell In Love With Her ” Or “She Fell In Love With Him”.
The Description Of How The Two Lovers Meet Each Other Varies And If I Would Make A-List
It Would Show You That There Were Many Ways In The World Of The Bible Where People Could Meet
Their Love And This Is Also True Today.
Here’s The List:
- Isaac Was Introduced To Rebekah By His Father’s Servant, Who Found Her At The Well,
- Jacob Had To Work For His Uncle Laban For 14 Years To Be Able To Marry Rachel,
- Moses Fell In Love With Zipporah When He First Laid Eyes On Her At The Well,
- Delilah Fell In Love With Samson, Although He Did Not Love Her Back,
- King David Fell In Love With Abigail, Who Was A Widow, And Finally
- King Solomon Fell In Love With The Foreign Beauty Of Queen Sheba.
So This Tells Us That All Kinds Of Different Places Where These Different Persons,
Who Are All Mentioned And Famous To Bible Readers Throughout The World,
Had A First Introduction, Or Date With Their Future Love.
So Now You Know What The Bible Teaches About First Dates.
