Safety Precautions for Christians Dating
Online
For many people, their faith is a very large part of their lives and their
identities. Their faith is the single most important factor that they use
to determine the personal choices that they make from day to day and is most
assuredly the single most important factor that they use to base personal
relationships upon.
A person who considers their Christian faith and their Christian beliefs
of the utmost importance, would never consider marrying outside of their
faith and, as we all know, dating is the forerunner of marriage. These Christian
oriented people only want to date others who share their Christian beliefs
both online and off line.
Christians do not live in a vacuum. They live in the real brick and mortar
world. The brick and mortar world is filled with people of all religious
and non-religious backgrounds. The same is true of cyber space. After all,
all of the people who date online are all part of the brick and mortar world.
So when a Christian decides to participate in online dating, as more and
more do today, they will often seek out sites that are devoted to Christians
who wish to date online. They believe (often mistakenly) that the other members
of the Christian online dating site that they have joined are also Christians
and hold the same beliefs sacred that they do.
Christians as a whole are honest people who believe that other people who
say that they are Christians are also honest people. People who are anything
but Christians can learn to parrot Christian principles and ideas. They can
learn to hold long and detailed discussions about the Bible. They do these
things in order to appear to be a Christian that another Christian will believe
and accept at face value.
The important things that those who are using Christian online dating sites
need to remember is that you just can't believe everything that you are told
and just because another unseen and unknown-to-you-person can quote the Bible
and claim to live by Christian principles, doesn't make it so.
The very same safety precautions should be used on Christian online dating
sites as one would employ on a general online dating site. Just because you
have met your online dating partner on a Christian online dating site doesn't
mean that he or she really is a Christian. Unless and/or until a relationship
has developed over a period of months (NOT days or even weeks) one should
never:
(1) Give out personal information...not a real name, not the city of residence
or birth, not an address or a telephone number and not an ISP email
address.
(2) The chat service that is provided by the Christian dating site should
be used rather than other chat services.
The internet is only as anonymous as a user allows it to be. There are safety
features that are afforded by all online dating sites, including Christian
online dating sites. These safety features are there for the protection of
the users, but using them is optional. Please ensure that you use them.
