Question
#5
If
Single: Do you/would you date non-Apostolics? Why?
If Married: Did you date non-Apostolics? Why?
1.
I am single, and I
do not date non-Apostolics. The
Bible specifically states that we are not be unequally yoked with unbelievers.
Even if the Bible did not make so bold a statement, I would still stick
strong to dating only Apostolics. In
much the same fashion that I hold a personal
conviction about marrying within my culture. Because of the difference in
culture, there would be tension in the home, and tension is unhealthy and does
not build solid relationships. The
same applies to the difference in faiths.
2.
I suppose that all
depends on the person. So I guess my answer would be yes...under certain
circumstances.
3.
No I would not...
there is a 1% chance they come in, and a 99% chance I go out... no matter what
the odds, even if they were reversed, I wouldn't risk that I would be the one to
lose out…
4.
I haven't dated a
non-Apostolic since I was saved. I would never go back to what God has delivered
me from.
5.
No, I have never
dated a non-Apostolic. I have given God my heart, and I won't share it with
someone who doesn't love Him also. (This does not mean I’ve never been
attracted and wished I could date a non-Apostolic!) But an Apostolic and non-Apostolic's
spirits could never be truly one and he would never understand why he would come
second to the true Love of My Life!
6.
Yes I did. I guess
I just liked him, and thought it wouldn't matter
7.
I wouldn't date a
non-Apostolic simply because there are no commonalties, why start out with
nothing?
8.
I have dated a
non-Apostolics, but have vowed to never do it again. One of the reasons that I
did had to do with the fact that Apostolic men find the most worldly girls and
date them then come to us for marriage. It really is the truth that men in the
world are more likely to respect us; love us for our uniqueness. They love our
hair and love the fact that we don't wear makeup. I have since been shown that
there is a man somewhere in this world that loves holiness as much as I do and
will love me for the person I am.
9.
I would not date
non-Apostolics, the Scripture said it wasn't wise, and would you believe it,
it's true?
10. No!
Too dangerous! When I was young and
foolish I did, just once. I've
regretted that ever since.
11. Before
I was saved, I did. Then I only
dated one man after I got in church, and now he's my husband,
12. No,
the whole unequally yoked with unbelievers thing, and come on lets face it, if
their not apostolic and you are, you live
in two separate worlds! You can't possibly understand each other!
13. I
have dated out of the church before, and it was a disaster for my spiritual
life. The lessons that I learned from it were good lessons and I
have been able to help some people with them.
14. I
took dates to church first. If they
didn't want God or didn't like church, then the date was the last one for her.
15. I
might date a non-Apostolic if I felt he had a good chance of becoming a
Christian: in other words, if he had a tender heart towards God and an interest
in the things of God.
