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
1 Corinthians 6:18-20
Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
1 Timothy 5:22
Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, nor take part in the sins of others; keep yourself pure.
Hebrews 13:4
Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.
