1. Dating
a) One of the things that Christians can mostly agree to disagree upon is the subject of dating. Perhaps this is because that word "dating" is not even used in the Bible, yet the idea of relationships between men and women are laced throughout God's Word.
b) Dating is defined as "when there is a relationship between one man and one woman which goes beyond friendship and continues into marriage; dating would be the time they spend with one another."
c) Some Christians hold to the "courtship" view, which is a way for the man and woman to get to know each other, and each other's family, with the permission of parents. Generally, the man and woman are chaperoned during a courtship.
d) Bible verses about dating then could include most any verse that speaks of relationships and the importance of choosing a like-minded Christian as a husband or wife.
2. Be Careful To Remain Pure
Genesis 2:24
Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
Job 31:1
I have made a covenant with my eyes; how then could I gaze at a virgin?
Proverbs
4:23 Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.
Romans 12:1-2
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
