The woman who marries you will be marrying the man you are NOW. I know. But there is still that longing.... I guess what I am saying is, because I'd been rejected so many times before, my heart is looking for assurance, for some actual evidence, that someone would really love me like how God has loved me.... You see, I had loved a Christian woman before who had thought that my dedication to Christ was not worth fighting for.... And this happened not just once, but twice.

If they didn't see that your devotion to the Lord was worth fighting for then they were not true Christians, brother. You need a woman who will uphold you, as you uphold her, and who understands that Christ comes first in your life, as He should in hers. That woman is out there.....trust God to bring her into your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we do exist. I am wondering though - is the OP angry with women who were previously, uh, wild but are now dedicated to the LORD and no longer promiscuous? If so, that is taking things too far (IMO). On the other hand, sadly, there are women in the churches, claiming to be Christian, yet still running around and living for the flesh. If this is the type of woman Big Time is angry about, that I can understand. Btw, has he been back to this thread since he posted the OP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LadyC Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 i don't think he's been back. it sounded (at least to me) that he was angry at women in general for not all staying virgins. however, if i misunderstood and he's mad at women who claim to be christians but who still want to sleep around, then yep, i can understand and agree with him on that!

Have you guys heard of them? They're rings to symbolize your commitment of some sort...ect..not really sure to tell you the truth, but i know it's a physical way of showing how you plan on saving yourself for your future husband... Anybody know what i'm talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
