Lack of faith? Well, that would depend if the lack thereof were based on fact or just plain lack of certainty in the miraculous. Faith is a gift like any other kind of spiritual gift, or so says the NT. One has to ask God to increase it, does one not? Faith is like talents, the Master gives talents out to his servants, each one gets only what the Master desires to give. If you get a lot then you are required to deliver a lot on his return. If you get only a little, he will not demand a lot. It is only when you get a little and you bury it, hoping to please him with some lame excuse that you will get in trouble. I hope you find someone who has as much faith as you. However, because you ran into someone whom God decided to give so little that it did not match yours, why call him a loser? I am not trying to offend you. I am merely saying you have judged the Lord for the amount his has given another brother. It's not what we have but what we do with it that counts. And we can only do what with we are given. And all things come from the Lord, who creates the blind and the deaf as well as those who hear and can see. Be fair to us guys, do not seek perfection. As you judge so too will you be judged. I don't judge you. But I would be afraid to date you. My faith rises and falls, some days I believe, some days I don't. But the Lord is able to keep me from falling. After all, it's all about him not us. He gives, he takes. Blessed be his name above all. Love covers all sins.

Missing something? Only you know what it is you don't quite understand. Maybe if I put it more simply.

A Christian male or female cannot be a loser if he has but a mere mustard seed of faith, which is all God decides to give to him or her. We can ask for more. As long as I don't hide my faith under a basket or bury it in the soil, how am I displeasing the Lord? Now, if a Christian is totally ashamed of the Lord, the Lord said he himself will be ashamed of that Christian when they stand before the Father and all the the Holy Angels. Does this make any sense now?

It is not for us to judge another Christian's faith. We cannot say "my faith is great than his therefore I am more worthy", or "his faith is small and therefore it is nothing."

Whatever God gives us by way of any amount of faith is an honor to be treasured. My mustard seed of faith can still move your mountain of faith. Besides, if your faith is so great, pray that my own faith will grow.

Judge by righteous standards not the way mere men judge. I wouldn't want to be around anyone that Lorded their faith over mine. I am glad that God had given to me what little I have, and no man can take that little itty bit away from me.

It came from above, therefore it is intended. This little bit is all I have and I am supposed to love it.

Christian guy here, but I find that I spend most of my time on the forum chatting with atheists and agnostics about the existence of God and other related topics. Spoke to a few Christian gals, but when they live on the opposite side of the country, or in other areas of the world that I've never heard of and can't even pronounce, it could get a bit discouraging :)

I still don't mind corresponding by email and getting to know a person that way, but like most of you, I'm looking for someone a bit more local.

I do not know if I will find another Christian woman for a second marriage. If I do, great, but if I don't, then I just have to assume that God believes I can get by in life on my own. Paul said in Philippians 4 that he learned to be content, regardless of circumstances. We need to emulate that and learn to be content whether or not He has someone out there for us.

I want a man who believes in the same God, the way I do.

ummmm....am I missing something here???

Hey Emmie,
Just hang in there!
I have had it kind of rough also. But the Bible says that He hung the moon and the stars and the water knows when to stop from overflowing.So He's totally in charge! So I figure those guys may not have been bad at all, just not yours.
The right one will come! Faith and patience are a great combination!

I was fortunate to have a wonderful Christian woman as my wife for over 28 years. She had problems while pregnant with our child, and she sacrificed her health for the wellbeing of the baby. Her last 22 years she was disabled due to those health problems, but I have a healthy daughter who has blessed my with a grandson, born 17 days before his granny died. My daughter graduated from college 17 days after giving birth - my wife died in my daughter's apartment while she and my son-in-law and I were at commencement on campus.

Why do ladies always wait and dream of their men,whereas their is someone out there under the sun waiting for them

Because the ladies seek custom-tailored men in an off-the-rack world.
