Online Christian Dating For A Christian

By Mary Solinna

Is it sinful to engage in online Christian dating? I have heard that many devoted Christian Singles ask this question? Maybe they have been told that it's sinful. But is it really?

This article will provide you with answers. You can share this article with your friends who might have the same question. They may learn from this article to help them in their own online dating.

As a saying goes, never judge a man unless you know his "intention". So the first question to ask yourself is "when you are considering engaging in online dating as a Christian, what is your "intention"?Are you looking for an individual that you can be in close with for companionship which just might lead to marriage? Or are you looking for a person that you only want to have passionate sex with, without any plans of marriage. And now the real problem has cropped up. The answer to this question will tell whether the Christian dating should be regarded as sinful or not.

If you are looking for a soul mate via Christian Dating Online, this is obviously not a sin and is permitted. Or if you want to look for a person who you can make friends with and you might end up getting married to. Your intention is noble and commendable.

On the other hand, if you just want a person that you only have sex with without any plans of marriage, this is clearly a sinful desire. As you clearly know, it's sinful for young single Christians to engage in sex before they are married.

So, there you go. If your intentions are noble, there's nothing wrong with getting involved in Christian dating on the Internet.

With so many free Christian dating sites out there, it is easy to find the date that you desire. Remember - your intentions must be noble. And then you will have nothing to fear with dating online as a Christian.
