The work of the true church has nothing to do with dating and getting folks hitched, that's not what the true church is about.... And I’m sorry that some people feel the church is a place to find a mate
....Now Ms.Deborah Cooper, who writes an advice column on dating issues.....Has come up with the idea
"The Black Church" is part of the reason that many
black women are single and lonely....I don't believe for one minute The Black Church has any thing what so ever to do with black women being single...Now the single black young women who I teach on Sunday mornings are not lonely women....So, my question is why would any woman marry a man who do not believe as she?....I believe this bible verse to mean just what it says:Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness 2 Corinthians 6:14...So why would a young woman who's serious about her relationship with her God marry a man who's not?....Why is it
ok for Muslims to marry Muslims, Jews to marry Jews etc...But it's a problem when black women want a Black Christian man? Why can other cultures and religion marry people of like mindedness, but when it comes to black women and the black church there's a problem....Now, Ms Deborah uses a
PEW study that found over half of black Americans reported that they are
religious....And that it was "very important" in their lives....She also stated that a number of black Americans "interpret scripture literally," in comparison with the general population.... She goes on to say that men are significantly less likely to consider religion to be important in their lives, meaning that they aren't going to be in the churches that black women are attending every Sunday....Again!!!The work of the true church has nothing to do with dating....I believe The Black Church to be a reflection of the black community...Black Men are missing from the home, church and their children lives....When will we stop blaming The Black Church for
Aids, Homosexuality,Obama and every thing else that's wrong in our community? Now we're blaming the church for young women being lonely and single.
