You can look online, you can look in outreach groups, you can go to singles gatherings. On dating sites you need to be clear what your beliefs are and what you are not looking for in a match, because the sites do not clarify religious beliefs when matching. If your church is small you may have to look outside your own church. I met someone with similar beliefs from another church. There are still good people out there if you keep your heart open!

The Jewish Bible is the same as the "Old Testament" part of the Christian bible. deafironchef I hope that you just mean by the "same bible" that they are Christian and have a Christian bible - right ?? You do not mean that you'd only date people who use the exact same translation of the Christian bible as you, right? ... Like you'd only date people who read the NIV or NRSV or KJV or NLT etc ??? (that would be ...umm kinda odd since they are all the same just using some slightly different words) In seminary/theology college we use the NRSV or NIV because it is actually the most accurate translation to the original text (which was written in a combination of Aramaic, Hebrew and Greek) KJV reads like poetry but it is actually not very accurate is is bias in many ways (because it was commissioned by the King to reflect his beliefs) I still think KJV and the NKJV as beautiful to read ...but for accurate study - NRSV(or the older RSV) and NIV are much better. |

Please don't confuse *translations* of the bible with *different scriptures*.
There really is only one bible within the christian churches, although the Catholics do have a few extra parts to theres that aren't regarded by Protestants as authoritative. The old testament is indeed the same as the Jewish scriptures, although that is very much over-simplifying the situation. What actually becomes a far more divisive issue, is how the bible should be interpreted! Some people believe that a particular translation is particularly special, whereas others believe that tradition is more important, others are more interested in historical accuracy, and still others believe that uneducated people are unable to read and interpret the bible themselves, even with the Holy Spirit to guide them. |

I *defy* them to come up with scriptural evidence that shows that the KJV is authoritative, after ascertaining which version of the KJV they're after. Incidentially, this does show how important it is to read the preface for a translation. The preface, usually the first couple of pages before the bible starts, is VERY insightful if you want to know how they chose to translate it. The one for the NIV, The Message, and the various versions of the KJV, are all quite distinctly different and very interesting. That said, some of my favorite versions are with the KJV, the language is just so poetic! |

Different translations and paraphrases of the Bible can result in different interpretations of key doctrines and beliefs. That's why it's important to know the differences and to be careful about selecting and using a specific version of the Christian Bible. Deafironchef knows that, and he wants to meet a young lady who believes the same way.

I'll send that dating link to my old friend school who is Christian. She's single and wants to find a Christian Guy.
Thanks for the link up there. Last edited by yagazn; 08-09-2010 at 05:11 PM. |

Regarding the issues of interpretation ... I honestly wish that more Christians would take Theology courses ... it would truly make a tremendous difference in most Christians lives since they would have the opportunity to learn sooo much more about their faith (rather than relaying solely on the teaching of their Priests/Pastors/Lay leaders etc ... who always teach with a certain "bias" (not that this is right or wrong, it simply "is"). I learned more about my faith and the offical teachings of the Church (both catholic -small"c", and my particular denomination) in the first 6-8months than I had in a life time of active & educated Church life. This belief is not just my own, it's actually shared by most Lay and Ordained leaders, who see daily how well meaning individuals are mis-interpreting the true teachings of their church (completely unaware they are doing so) Regarding the Apocryphal & Deuterocanonical texts of the Christian bible ... various specific texts, or grouping of texts are to various extents, in various denominations either officially or unofficially accepted or dismissed. For (most if not all) Seminary Students all texts are studied to some degree including the Canonical, Apocryphal, Deuterocanonical, Pseudepigrapha, DSS etc. as a means of creating a complete understanding of not only the process/history of the Faith but also to be fully educated on the various additional interpretations, doctrines and documents that are part of our Early Christian Life. Regarding the Apocrypha and Deutercanonic texts - not all protestants dismiss their use, in fact the COE and Anglican Church both sanction their use and study and in some points of the Christian Year (as part of the Revised Common Lectionary)read from the Texts in formal worship. It's also worth pointing out that their are a few Apocrypha&Deutercanonic texts that are not used by the Catholic Church (meaning RCC). Hope that clarifies things ... I just didn't want to go all "seminary/theological College" in my post without cause

The important point for deafironchef is that he wants a girlfriend who shares the same beliefs and doctrines, which is why he mentioned "same" Bible. It's not to start a theological discussion.

Date is the same meaning as just using to know someone, wasting time just get to know and dump her if not right one. It can be leading to sex too and break up sooner or later after finding she's not the right type. That is NOT a love, NOT a committed relationship (or courtship) or a friendship. So that is not Christian way. God forbids the act of term - dating. I thought you knew better. You should read carefully in the Bible that there has no saying about date or dating topic because it was a man-made action in the turn of the century! Even worse man-made action for worthless foolishly lust just a couple of decades before 21st Century....it's still getting worser now. Oh, geez why do I have to teach you this? You're in your twenties...it's every parent's responsiblity and yourself knows what's right and wrong (use common sense by reading the factual history, not peer interacts and its bad influence), biblical proper to teach moral values and integrity...use the common sense, dontcha?![]() I'm sorry but I have to say this, the way of your OP thread sounds like you're possibly desperated and may or may not be sexually frustated. Why would one Christian boy rush by seeking the right one? If you are true Christian and you DON'T need to ask or beg people to help you finding the right one and provide you a website here. That's so senseless and sick....Only can you find one is from God finding one for you! Plain and simple! Sheesh! |

You could try having yourself cloned as a woman then she will just like you! are you afraid of meeting women that will disagree with you ? Will the woman have to agree with everything you say , or is she allowed to have her own thoughts . It sound like you're looking for a woman to control .
