THE PERILS OF MODERN DATING, COURTSHIP, AND ROMANCE and CONSENT AND OBJECTION -
08-13-2016, 12:13 AM
Modern society would have our children believe romance is natural, and therefore good. By this logic, malaria is good because it is natural. In reality, Romance is one more trick Satan has successfully pulled over most people. Romance is no more than thinly a veiled justification to engage in sinful activities inspired by lust. Because the opportunity to engage in activities that gratify lust is obstructed by children, it comes as no shock to see modern society glorifying smaller family size, women having children later in life, and married couples choosing to forgo parenthood altogether. As society gets more perverted, the child rate goes down. True Christian™ are not perverts. You can tell because they have the most children, and thus no time for perverted activities.
More than just a gift from God (Psalm 127:3), children have a purpose. They can be wonderful tools for accomplishing great things (Psalm 127:4). Think of how practical the Duggar children have been with regard to inspiring regular Americans to help suppress the Gay Agenda. They've got two whole baseball teams worth of people going out to spread the Good News that homosexuals can be stopped if we all act together for the Greater Good! And that's just one family!

Betrothal has been a part of God's Perfect Plan since days immemorial. The avid Bible student will remember that Abraham lived to be 175; Isaac lived to be 180; Jacob lived to be 147. Even Moses lived to be 120! All of these lifespans are considerably longer than anything we have typically seen in recent centuries, and they utilized God's Perfect Plan for Marriage. Life was simpler then, the world was safer then, families were bigger then, mothers were always feminine then. When we follow the LORD's lead, things work out.
Youths who object to the LORD's Way object to being blessed. It's delusional thinking to want to avoid being blessed and desire a hard life, only to follow it up with a torturous eternity (Revelation 20:10). That kind of thinking should not be rewarded, but should be corrected quickly and seriously (Proverbs 23:13).
The way to obtain the LORD's blessing is to obey His commands.He explains this in great detail in the book Deuteronomy, 28th chapter. If we want our children to have good lives, they must choose to serve Christ rather than Sin (Romans 6:15-18). Serving Christ includes going forth and multiplying. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize a couple can multiply more when they take advantage of the limited years of the female uterus than they can waiting for its biological Last Call.
Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.
