How about a Q&A like this but with 3 additional older men with wisdom and experience. Would be interesting to see tbe similarities or differences in the answers.
You don’t date anyone with a different faith especially if your dating to get married. You don’t date just for fun and think it might go okay. The Bible says we’re not supposed to be with someone who is an unbeliever. We can’t change them but only Christ can. (:
@@cristianrios6740 dating someone who has the same beliefs it’s less complicated. Ex: I’m a Christian but I’m dating a catholic. Even though catholic are label as Christian’s they do believe in different things, which there will be disagreement.
Why waste your time? You know you're not gonna ever wanna marry someone? You know something will eventually be a major problem? The looks do not last, people. Even if the looks "last," your eyes eventually adjust and the flesh is never satisfied. Unimaginable, I know. Especially when you first start dating. Why waste kisses??? You could be using your time to grow and work on you, and be better prepared for when you do meet your future spouse with less baggage. Lemme beat the dead horse more: Let's say you date someone who after date number 4 you realized, ".. oh, this is going to be a problem of the nature I can see me not marrying you over.." but you stay dating anyway "just cause they're cute" or whatever the "you know is weak" reason is, and 5 months to a couple years passes... and finally, after getting over it all, the initial love high ends, you will have wasted that many years of your life. Gone. You cannot get that back, and yet you knew from the start, this was a waste of time... have the non negotiable list set from the get go. What are the things that maybe aren't ideal but you can get over (nobody is perfect, everybody sins, you're gonna need forgiveness too, after all) and don't compromise. Know your must haves, and your must not haves. Know your weaknesses. Know your strengths. Focus on God and improving as a human while you wait on God to provide that spouse you're praying for. Pray for that future spouse. And you don't wanna waste someone else's time who you're not right for either. Be respectful of their time also. They will probably be less devastated the sooner you break up than if you were to let them continue dating you, potentially hoping for a future. They could've been spending time finding the right person also.
@@OakesPrincess Definitely we need to be the person we are looking for and more importantly we need to be rooted in our identity in Christ! Never begin to date someone who doesn't know Christ or have their identity firmly rooted in Christ.
Exactly. If you aren’t going to marry someone who’s unequally yoked with (which is you’re Christian you shouldn’t) then why waste your ti and that persons time. I date to marry not to just have fun because marriage is important to me. It’s not just a union between two people but a union with God and those two people if done correctly so I would never entertain something that would cause damage to that. It’s kinda like dating someone who you have completely different views on life and what’s right and wrong. It will lead to gridlock which isn’t good for you, the other person, or both of your relationships with God.
@@lapris7380 I use to date a guy that was atheist it just made me worse like when he left me I felt depressed and hurting myself but since he left which was weeks ago I felt so much better like I don't miss him cause he just always hurt me alot and he one time made fun of the Bible and God but ofc I gave him another chance but I'm not friends with him anymore or dating him
yes 100% agree. we should be taking dating seriously and not dating someone and forming connections with someone who doesn't love the Lord. it is a recipe for disaster, because you're going to catch feelings. i've seen couples where there are Christians and non-Christians, and usually, they get married and the Christian either converts out of Christianity or raises kids who oftentimes aren't Christians. very rarely do non-Christians convert.
1:46 was my same reaction 😂 like how could i even put myself in such a position.? I think in the end when they don't get saved, the heartbreak and confusion of it all is just not OK.
Dating FOR fun is different from dating and HAVING fun! Dating for fun is just plain upsetting because you have no feeling for that person. Dating and having fun shows that you truly love them!
I think it’s ok to date someone (with intentions to marry) outside your religion if you’ve prayed about it and the answer was to date them. When me and my now husband were friends/when we were dating- He has always been a Christian and I myself was lost, I wasn’t sure if I believed in the true God but I didn’t deny the possibility of any god existing. I was unsure really. But, I always admired my now husbands spirit and how he held himself. He was always so sure, even in bad situations it seemed as though nothing could knock him. One day I asked him how he was able to stay calm and know what to do even when it felt like the world was falling (I had debilitating anxiety). He told me to that it was because he didn’t need to worry, that God knew what he was doing and that he always knew he was safe no matter what might happen. After a slight interrogation on how he knew it was true (y’know that talk). I got the Bible app and started reading and the Lord spoke to me through his word and dreams, visions. I told my now husband (at the time my boyfriend) that I thought the lord was calling me, he bought me a Bible and gave me a letter with it that he wrote all his favorite/helpful verses in. I was saved, healed of my crippling anxiety, and later baptized after we married. He is a huge part of my testimony, I truly believe that the lord put him in my life as a light so that I may see the Lord clearly. He told me later that after meeting me and hearing I wasn’t a Christian that he prayed for me daily that I would come to know God and his prayers were answered (thank goodness). PRAY ABOUT IT YALL- the Father listens ❤️🩹
This is terrible advice to give to young couples considering dating.Glad it worked out for you, but the chances are very slim for this kind of thing to happen. God will also never contradict himself , he says not to be unequally yoked period.Your husband then was probably still not yet a firm believer, because if He really loved God he would have just obeyed period.He loved you more than he loved God but thankfully, God always works in every situation and you can never under estimate God.Glad you saw the light and were saved. However, you cannot pray for God to help you Pursue sin that he deliberately told you to stay away from.And please don’t share this advice with other young youths, it’ll only cause heartbreak for them in the long run and massive baggage. God bless🙏🏼
It’s a beautiful story. I personally know many people who were saved because someone they were dating or were closed to prayed for them. Thanks for sharing ❤
Modesty is definitely concerning the heart, but I do believe it also should involve one’s appearance since lust is something young people struggle with, especially young single people 😅 This includes both genders 😊 I mean so many people don’t take Christians seriously because of how we dress tbh. Like considering when preaching to muslims. Modesty is a huge thing for them, appearance wise. Just my opinion tho 👀
To add to what you said the bible also says not to be a stumblingblock so when we know we live in such a lust driven world why would wouldn't we as Christians adjust our wardrobe to at least avoid the main trigger clothing guys and girls wear. Also so many benefits like you'll decrease attracting jezabel lukewarm Christians who are interested in us for the wrong reasons, you help protect your siblings in Christ, you can preach better as people won't be distracted by the inmodesty when giving a sermon or evangelizing and more
That is sooo true! As young people we can easily get side tracked. I've seen some people say that we "over-dress". That is kind of true but all christians have different styles and me personally, I like to dress nice because it makes me feel better. Looking presentable is something I to take into account when I enter the house of the Lord. Also, different churches have different dress codes. All in all, we represent Christ and that is all that matters!😇♥
God bless you! I wear skirts and dresses too. But I don’t cover my head unless I’m in the house of God (church), praying, fellowshiping, or worshipping with other believers.
You fellas are precious. It’s so hard to remain true to your faith and morals in today’s world. It’s encouraging to me to see young men even having these discussions. Do I agree with all of your opinions? No, but I think a lot of those things come as you grow in spiritual maturity. I’m in my mid 30s and just went through a divorce I didn’t want because I was unequally yoked. I didn’t realize this until the divorce process began. My husband had been in church his entire life, we went to church and small group together, but I compromised a lot of my standards and ignored signs that he wasn’t a believer to stay in the relationship. God’s word is clear that you shouldn’t bond yourself to an unbeliever, and that instruction encompasses ALL relationships, not just romantic. In my life, every single time I’ve invested heavily in any type of relationship with a professed non-believer, or a person who does not demonstrate spiritual fruit but claims to be a believer, I have been left disappointed and deeply hurt. This is an example of another boundary that God sets for our protection, and it’s in our best interest to respect that and obey. Don’t think you can change a person, lead them to Christ through your relationship, or justify unequal yoking in any way. Yes, we should share Christ with unbelievers, and yes we should even have friendships with them - but you should never consider an unbeliever to be your “best friend” or allow them into your inner circle. It’s so easy to be deceived and little by little compromise until you lose yourself. I speak from experience, as a young woman going through heartbreak that came as a result of ignoring both God’s word and also prompting from the Spirit to end a relationship. I believed my example could change my fiancé’s heart and that he just needed to mature. As a result, I lost my marriage when he found his soulmate in an unbeliever he felt he connected with better. Now I am a single mom watching my ex-husband and his new wife live the life I thought I would have, and the person who stole my husband is now my son’s stepmom. Do yourself a favor and implement the boundary now before your heart gets in a place where you compromise.
The "dating" stage is the "getting to know you" stage. If I know she's an unbeliever, then I won't date her. If I don't know about her faith, then thats a question to bring up on the first date. If our beliefs don't match at all, then there won't be a second date.
I think if you start to date a person with different believes you get attached. It will be very hard to let go of this person and choose God over this love you feel. Talking from experience. Learn from my mistake. It took me personally 6 months to let go.
I loved all your answers but for the 1st question I go with Richard because it's a man who should lead and is the head of the house. And for the 2nd question the Bible clearly says that we should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers because dating is about marriage. And we need part 2 asap 😂🙌
My thoughts are that a lot of these "nuanced conversations" come down to where you're at in the process of sanctification. Like, the Bible may not tell us blatantly say we can't to listen to certain music, or show skin, or follow people we find attractive on social, but... these decisions often show our heart posture, and how closely we are in our walk with God, and where you might be giving footholds to the devil, and flirting with the world/temptation.. some of it comes down to what you've said (christian girls/boys vs. Wo/men of God). The bible tells us not to be unequally yoked, to avoid temptation, to keep our eyes (off worldly things) on things above, not to lust after others, etcetera. I try to take that to heart, and guard my heart (eyes, body, etc.), to trust Him, and His timing.
Nice video! It's so nice to hear what man of God think and how they react, so beautiful. Especially in this world we're living today. It's so refreshing. Maybe this sounds stupid, but I like it so much. Keep the content going! I love it. Btw you're editing is great. Hard work pays off :)
I definitely don't think it is a good idea to date someone who has a different faith as you, because the longer you date someone who isn't the same faith as you, the harder it is going to be when you break up with them. Missionary dating is never a good idea because most of the time it doesn't work, or the person you are dating starts to pretend to be Christian just to please you (ik this from experience HAHA). And also yes, I do think it is sinful to knowingly enter into a marriage with an unbeliever ("Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" - 2 Corinthians 6:14). It will save Christians a lot of heartbreak if they don't date unbelievers!
No offense but I’m lowkey confused with the far right guy’s reasoning when it came to the question of dating outside Christianity, which he was okay with but then it’s a solid you shouldn’t live together before marriage. It’s both temptation. You’re being tempted to pursue someone you KNOW doesn’t share the same belief as you and entertaining that idea for whatever reason but you’re not going to live together with someone you’re about to live together with anyway?????? They’re both tempting situations in my opinion lol😅
Just because someone is a Christian like you doesn't mean you are compatible. 💯 truth. I got interested in a Christian guy recently who i know to be spiritual nd filled with scriptures, but at talking stage, i realized that in other aspect of life, he's just clueless or let me say poorly, I was just surprised of what i see after getting to know him. That was how my burning fire for him got quenched 😂😂. I gisted Holy spirit about it and the conversation was so comforting and sweet❤. I am still going for a man with the heart of God but that also have wisdom and knowledge in other aspects of life. In this world we have to be spiritual but the spirituality must not make you clueless of other aspects such as career/profession, finances, social life, dreams and ambition, reasonable goals etc but rather help you to explore better to fulfill God's purpose ❤❤
The guy on our right clearly doesnt read the Bible. 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 no shade will pray for you and Jesus loves you. He said if you love him you will keep his commands🙏 God bless
I had testimony, and God reveals to me this person, "If this man is your boyfriend, you would have peace in your heart", and i told him, really father? . I wanna give up on this man, i wanna give up cause everyone knows him, and popular, but then later on, God told me, one afternoon, and he says, "He's the right one for you", after that i cried a lot. Yeah, that's all. 🥺🥺
On the dating someone in a different or no religion question, I kinda agree it's OKAY. Why? Because I think that sometimes God might just be working in that person, and maybe I can have the ability to help lead them to Christ. However, I understand the whole date to marry (which I also agree with), and that we can't change someone despite the efforts we may put forth, but I would never say "no, never do this," because maybe it's the right thing to do... if any of this made sense lol For the question on living together, it is "inherently wrong" in my opinion, because we are told to not even live in a way that could *look* like we are in sin, such as living with someone before being married leading people to believe you're sleeping together.
I'll disagree on dating someone of a different faith. We should date to marry, and you have to take that into account everytime you step into a relationship. I was not a believer when I married my husband. He is an atheist. I have now been a believer for 5 year with a heart on fire for Christ. I love my husband dearly and he is supportive of me always. However, it does create challenges to married to someone who does not have the same fire. Date to marry.
Great video! Thank you! Can you make a video about the gospel? That would be nice! And can you make a video together with Blimey Cow? (Maybe a similar to this one here or a sketch?) I would like that. God bless you!
Joe... you are correct. You're supposed to date with a purpose to get married. Dating someone just bc is pointless. I really hope the guy in the blue shirt is joking on a lot of his stances 😂, bc he needs mire bible study if not, lmbo. 😅
Personally speaking, I would not date someone who doesn't have a relationship with Jesus, only because it's unwise and it's not His will that we would be unequally yolked.
Y'all answering are cute because then you have to conversate and everyone is so understanding, but still explaining their point of view. I like the guy in the middle answers more. Ps. Listen to 89.3 kspj God listens
It's a little concerning that most the questions are about dating and relationships... Then we wonder why single people are so discontent. The only thing that will give you fulfillment is living for Jesus!!
YES AMEN HALLELUJAH GLORY TO GOD AMEN HALLELUJAH I HOPE GOD BLESSES YOUR DAY AND NIGHT AND YOUR REST AND DREAMS AND TOMORROW AND EVERYTHING YOU DO AMEN HALLELUJAH MY FELLOW SIBLINGS IN CHRIST ✝️🛐🙏❤️✝️🛐🙏❤️✝️🛐🙏❤️✝️🛐🙏❤️✝️🛐🙏❤️✝️🛐🙏❤️✝️🛐🙏❤️
Personally I don’t think you should date someone unless you have the intent to get to know them and start a life with them or your just playing with someone’s heart and that’s not cool
Think about dating outside the faith this way. If you’re standing on top of the chair and you’re strong in your faith, the person whose faith is different than yours is standing on the floor. Because you decide to “missionary” date, that person whom youre dating will have an easier time pulling you down then you pulling them up. Even Jesus says don’t be unequally yoked. Don’t be dumb y’all. Don’t tempt yourself.
1 Corinthians 7:12-16 To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. 15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace. 16 How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
@Kiki already at that point. Kind of why I'm trying to edify them politely. As well, you're supposed to correct your brother if you see them doing anything in any transgressions. Galatians 6:1 "Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted."
U dont always have to pray for someone on the spot. Many times we can pray on our own in sincerity for that person. God is the one doing the work and He uses those prayers to work in their lives and help them. God knows no distance and we dont always have to be with the person physically for God to use those prayers. There was a testimony from Dutch Sheets where a pastor or someone, after God told him very clearly....He knew that He knew it was God, prayed in tongues for 15 minutes and a woman who had a deadly disease in another continent got healed. God is not bound by time or place.
Omg i wanted to scream at the dating atheists part- it is in the Bible not to date and marry a sinner! Gosh, why even entertain that. You need to be prayed for and pulled to Christ. God literally said it multiple times in the Bible, do not marry a sinner, do not marry someone who isnt a christian, why even do that? One goes to heaven and another to hell? One isnt leading you to God? No way

Thank you!! 🥹🫶🏼😂
This was so great 😂 especially when you talked about the Hailey thing 😂 loved it!
Thank you!! 😂
I think if you start to date a person with different believes you get attached. It will be very hard to let go of this person and choose God over this love you feel. Talking from experience. Learn from my mistake. It took me personally 6 months to let go.
you seem so fun ! I recently found you on here and started following you on TikTok !! God bless you man :)
Aye! Welcome to the fam! ❤️
Dude joe like rly held his tongue one the “ marry someone out of faith Q” ooof admiration right there
I loved all your answers but for the 1st question I go with Richard because it's a man who should lead and is the head of the house.
And for the 2nd question the Bible clearly says that we should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers because dating is about marriage.
And we need part 2 asap 😂🙌
My thoughts are that a lot of these "nuanced conversations" come down to where you're at in the process of sanctification. Like, the Bible may not tell us blatantly say we can't to listen to certain music, or show skin, or follow people we find attractive on social, but... these decisions often show our heart posture, and how closely we are in our walk with God, and where you might be giving footholds to the devil, and flirting with the world/temptation.. some of it comes down to what you've said (christian girls/boys vs. Wo/men of God).
The bible tells us not to be unequally yoked, to avoid temptation, to keep our eyes (off worldly things) on things above, not to lust after others, etcetera. I try to take that to heart, and guard my heart (eyes, body, etc.), to trust Him, and His timing.
Yes! I am surprised at the responses! Im like seriously? How are you a christian and not know these basics? Come on
this was so good!! (also love the side commentary😂) keep it up!
Thank you so much!
“And i oop-“ sound made me laugh 😭
my favorite part is putting all the sound effect 🤣
Yes - just because someone is a man/woman of God, doesn't mean they're your man/woman of God. ☺
Loved it! Super fun and good insight for me as a single Christian just to hear a guy’s perspective. Love your guys friendship with one another too!
Same here!!
Nice video! It's so nice to hear what man of God think and how they react, so beautiful. Especially in this world we're living today. It's so refreshing. Maybe this sounds stupid, but I like it so much. Keep the content going! I love it. Btw you're editing is great. Hard work pays off :)
What world are we living in today?
Thank you for updating me on the whole Selena-Hailey thing 😂 I didn't know
No problem!! It was fun hahaha
I definitely don't think it is a good idea to date someone who has a different faith as you, because the longer you date someone who isn't the same faith as you, the harder it is going to be when you break up with them. Missionary dating is never a good idea because most of the time it doesn't work, or the person you are dating starts to pretend to be Christian just to please you (ik this from experience HAHA). And also yes, I do think it is sinful to knowingly enter into a marriage with an unbeliever ("Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" - 2 Corinthians 6:14). It will save Christians a lot of heartbreak if they don't date unbelievers!
When i heard the Bieber tea my ears were wide open 😂😂
This was so good!
thank you so much!🥰
No offense but I’m lowkey confused with the far right guy’s reasoning when it came to the question of dating outside Christianity, which he was okay with but then it’s a solid you shouldn’t live together before marriage. It’s both temptation. You’re being tempted to pursue someone you KNOW doesn’t share the same belief as you and entertaining that idea for whatever reason but you’re not going to live together with someone you’re about to live together with anyway?????? They’re both tempting situations in my opinion lol😅
This is refreshing. Thank you
You're so welcome!
I have a cousin she is Christian, and the man she married is Jehovah witness sooo!!! and that’s not working out for the best
05:07 💀“manipulate the heck out of it“ naaah stop🥹😅 Josh got me rolling!😅
greetings from Germany:))
i really enjoy watching your content!🤗
hi from Texas! thank you so much! It means so much!
My friend, do this again but with older wiser men on the other side and see what they answer..learn from.those who already made the mistakes.
Every time josh says something I’m so expecting him to say something wrong and out of pocket because I’m used to him being a Chad 😂
Just because someone is a Christian like you doesn't mean you are compatible. 💯 truth. I got interested in a Christian guy recently who i know to be spiritual nd filled with scriptures, but at talking stage, i realized that in other aspect of life, he's just clueless or let me say poorly, I was just surprised of what i see after getting to know him. That was how my burning fire for him got quenched 😂😂. I gisted Holy spirit about it and the conversation was so comforting and sweet❤. I am still going for a man with the heart of God but that also have wisdom and knowledge in other aspects of life. In this world we have to be spiritual but the spirituality must not make you clueless of other aspects such as career/profession, finances, social life, dreams and ambition, reasonable goals etc but rather help you to explore better to fulfill God's purpose ❤❤
God bless you brothers and your families, you're hilarious! Glory to God always!
The guy on our right clearly doesnt read the Bible. 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 no shade will pray for you and Jesus loves you. He said if you love him you will keep his commands🙏 God bless
I had testimony, and God reveals to me this person, "If this man is your boyfriend, you would have peace in your heart", and i told him, really father? . I wanna give up on this man, i wanna give up cause everyone knows him, and popular, but then later on, God told me, one afternoon, and he says, "He's the right one for you", after that i cried a lot. Yeah, that's all. 🥺🥺
On the dating someone in a different or no religion question, I kinda agree it's OKAY. Why? Because I think that sometimes God might just be working in that person, and maybe I can have the ability to help lead them to Christ. However, I understand the whole date to marry (which I also agree with), and that we can't change someone despite the efforts we may put forth, but I would never say "no, never do this," because maybe it's the right thing to do... if any of this made sense lol
For the question on living together, it is "inherently wrong" in my opinion, because we are told to not even live in a way that could *look* like we are in sin, such as living with someone before being married leading people to believe you're sleeping together.
Some of the things here are their opinions , better and wise we follow the Lord and His word In everything ❤
I didn't know you had a TH-cam account,followed you on TikTok and i love your videos so much ❤
Love from Nigeria 🤭❤
Ok. I like where this is going…
I'll disagree on dating someone of a different faith. We should date to marry, and you have to take that into account everytime you step into a relationship. I was not a believer when I married my husband. He is an atheist. I have now been a believer for 5 year with a heart on fire for Christ. I love my husband dearly and he is supportive of me always. However, it does create challenges to married to someone who does not have the same fire. Date to marry.
Guys please add comments and likes that is the best way to support them and it's it's few clicks come on everyone start clicking
@Kiki thanks man glad to see u here have a fantastic day
This just proves Joe is my ideal man 🤚
😂😂😂😂,God told me we're gonna break upp!!!!.oh my goodness that's hilarious
Great video! Thank you! Can you make a video about the gospel? That would be nice!
And can you make a video together with Blimey Cow? (Maybe a similar to this one here or a sketch?) I would like that.
God bless you!
Bro the guy on the right...🤨
Fr💀
Shocked, y’all need a Bible in there
Joe... you are correct. You're supposed to date with a purpose to get married. Dating someone just bc is pointless. I really hope the guy in the blue shirt is joking on a lot of his stances 😂, bc he needs mire bible study if not, lmbo. 😅
Personally speaking, I would not date someone who doesn't have a relationship with Jesus, only because it's unwise and it's not His will that we would be unequally yolked.
That little sock dangle had me dead.😂
Uhmmmm, sharing the same faith? IT IS NECESSARY. We date with the purpose of marriage.
Dating a non-Christian should not be even suggested or entertained!! You seem like great people, but I’m not too impressed on that one guys!😮
It’s an issue to marry other faiths & how you’d go off the rails & not live as a Christian - it would sway you for sure
Yall make my day lol. 😂
Such a great video 👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
part 2 pls 😪❤️
"Don't be unequally yoked".... it's not a suggestion.
Hey Joe,
My family and I have considered trying churches in Dallas. Do you have any recommendations?
Y'all answering are cute because then you have to conversate and everyone is so understanding, but still explaining their point of view. I like the guy in the middle answers more.
Ps. Listen to 89.3 kspj God listens
It's a little concerning that most the questions are about dating and relationships... Then we wonder why single people are so discontent.
The only thing that will give you fulfillment is living for Jesus!!
YES AMEN HALLELUJAH GLORY TO GOD AMEN HALLELUJAH I HOPE GOD BLESSES YOUR DAY AND NIGHT AND YOUR REST AND DREAMS AND TOMORROW AND EVERYTHING YOU DO AMEN HALLELUJAH MY FELLOW SIBLINGS IN CHRIST ✝️🛐🙏❤️✝️🛐🙏❤️✝️🛐🙏❤️✝️🛐🙏❤️✝️🛐🙏❤️✝️🛐🙏❤️✝️🛐🙏❤️
Socks at night is crazy that should be a 10 commandment sin honestly lol😂
Personally I don’t think you should date someone unless you have the intent to get to know them and start a life with them or your just playing with someone’s heart and that’s not cool
If I'm not being pursued, I'm not going for it. Lol
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal (God luv💜 & forgives u )
Amen!!
I love himmmm
We need another video Joeee 🥺
let the record show that we did understand the sarcasm
Think about dating outside the faith this way. If you’re standing on top of the chair and you’re strong in your faith, the person whose faith is different than yours is standing on the floor. Because you decide to “missionary” date, that person whom youre dating will have an easier time pulling you down then you pulling them up.
Even Jesus says don’t be unequally yoked. Don’t be dumb y’all. Don’t tempt yourself.
Loved this video guys
No Chad No!!! Do not be unequally yoked. Read God's word and don't compromise. Trouble....
I am just wondering , so do you think that women should be pastors, I’m not trying to start a fight or anything lol I just want to here your opinion 😂
I'd have to search scripture, but there is scripture that says that women should not preach
@@IamInspiredbyGod which verse?
@@schoolworkaccount3887 1Timothy 2:12
1 Corinthians 7:12-16
To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.
13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.
14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.
15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.
16 How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?
My favorite parte is 7:00 HAHAHAHAHA
I loved 😂❤
Team Selena or Hailey???
@@joechristianguy Team Justin Hahaha
@@anamsabogalr6323 hahaaha
at 2 min and 6 sec josh is wrong bcs at proverbs 1 verse 10 it says
my son if sinful people entince you do not give in to them
What are your standards on modesty?
You know it’s serious when they start talking about sleeping with socks 😤💀
Venha ministrar no Brasil Joe
I feel you guys need to read your Bibles more lol...no offense, just saying.
@Kiki already at that point. Kind of why I'm trying to edify them politely. As well, you're supposed to correct your brother if you see them doing anything in any transgressions.
Galatians 6:1 "Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted."
Jesus saves shirts where u get them brother ?
Are you dating ?
I am not currently!
@@joechristianguy are you planning to date?
The guests talked too much while the host - too little. Don't let your guests outshine you, Joe. 🤭
it’s courtesy to let your guests speak their minds more on a show you host 😊
@@mimijoseph9036 True, but "more" doesn't mean "too much." 😉
bro just to let you know there is a Christian latina youtuber named Haily julia and is almost the same age as you
U dont always have to pray for someone on the spot. Many times we can pray on our own in sincerity for that person. God is the one doing the work and He uses those prayers to work in their lives and help them. God knows no distance and we dont always have to be with the person physically for God to use those prayers. There was a testimony from Dutch Sheets where a pastor or someone, after God told him very clearly....He knew that He knew it was God, prayed in tongues for 15 minutes and a woman who had a deadly disease in another continent got healed. God is not bound by time or place.
Wow nice video! 😊
What’s your favorite TH-cam video beside reels?
First!!!
5:17 - 3rd guy is exactly who Christian women dread the most
Nah fr
Omg i wanted to scream at the dating atheists part- it is in the Bible not to date and marry a sinner! Gosh, why even entertain that. You need to be prayed for and pulled to Christ. God literally said it multiple times in the Bible, do not marry a sinner, do not marry someone who isnt a christian, why even do that? One goes to heaven and another to hell? One isnt leading you to God? No way
4:50-5:38 Joseph Smith? 😂😂😂
First to say Second.
I made a joke about a hairline and this dude was is that christian like I was like christians cant joke now
I couldnt even watch the whole thing because come on, how are you are a christian and not know these basics? Its in the bible, nothing is nuanced
