Why does the Bible not address dating? It is not something God intended. This book displays God's plans for Christian singles. Unfortunately, when many Christians read it, they will be shocked because they have already accepted and participated in the Devil's dating game. Therefore, they think dating is normal and harmless, but this is a delusion.
In Biblical times there was no such thing as dating; the families would play matchmakers. While this is foreign to our wicked western culture, many would be surprised to know that arranged marriages outlast many so-called marriages supposedly based on love in western culture.
Dating has been a common practice in American culture since the early 1900s. The concept of dating began at the turn of the 20th century. Before the early 1900s, courtship was a much more private, unemotional matter. "Women would meet with several men, with her parents present, to shorten the list of potential mates down to the most suitable match for marriage, which heavily relied on factors such as financial and social status, when a young woman decided on a man she wanted to see exclusively, their activities as a couple took place either in the household or at social gatherings. At that time, there was no such thing as just two young lovers "going out on a date." Since the inception of dating, a young man could visit a young lady in the African American community. Still, the family was always present, and after a particular time, the young man had to go home, which prevented potential sexual immorality. However, in the progression of time, the families unwisely allowed the "going steady" immoral trap to gain a foothold. As a result of unwanted pregnancy, many children born out of wedlock, emotionally wrecked people resulted from this wicked undertaking (dating-going steady). Some parochial schools prohibited this practice after Catholic leaders stated that "going steady" presents potential sexual immorality. A book entitled Profiles of Youth, written in the early 1950s, termed going steady a nationwide dilemma because this was the primary concern for teenagers rather than more essential concerns that should garner their attention. Presently, single people can't be serious when meeting someone in the Devil's dating system. They must wait and watch the person for a while because they don't know what they may be getting. So, the Devil's dating system not only steers single Christians away from serving Christ, but it also puts them in vulnerable positions to be hurt emotionally, catch diseases, unwanted pregnancies, and take on the spirits carried by others. Some readers probably ask why I call dating wicked; I ask where and when dating originated because scripture does not mention it. Therefore, it is not a biblical concept. If you want to find out the origin of dating, look at the makeup of dating. What happens in the dating game? Lust, sex, a life of immorality, and STDs. Even those who claim they are monogamous have premarital sex (fornication), which should show that dating is in line with the diabolical plan to lead young people into a life of sexual immorality with the intent to steer them away from God's plan for their lives. An observation of the dress attire of most women in the west is a clear sign that society is morally corrupt. In the 1990s, when women wore tight body clothing, they usually wore a long shirt of some sort to cover their hips and front part. However, these days women do not cover any aspect of their bodies. They allow the world to see every curve and crevasse which only a husband should see. Unfortunately, even older women wear their tights uncovered, reflecting our society's moral decay.
