Should someone like me who seeking to be a Christian go to the bar or club scene? If I am strong enough to not sin against God, does it matter?

I take my stage direction from God.
None of us are strong enough to resist temptation of our own power. That is one of the reasons we need Jesus. I wouldn't advise the bars or clubs if you are seeking a Godly, Christian woman. You may end up finding something else that God would not want you to pursue. Just saying. Start participating in church fellowship, ministries that you feel God calling you to, maybe organize a group of people to go see a movie, ball game, etc.. Stick to "pure,lovely and excellent" venues. God will bless you w/the right woman for you (if that is His will for your life)in His own perfect timing. His ways are always best.

Firstly you ain't a nobody.
What be your reason for going to the bar or to a club?
Are you there to provide transportation home for someone who is drunk?
If you ain't born again (saved) then you still in your old nature and be very inclined to do
what isn't godly. Since you be asking if you should go, you know that you shouldn't.
If you be serious about the Lord, then keep hard on the narrow path that lead to him.
Here is something for you...http://www.gotquestions.org/how-can-I-be-saved.html

I would be very careful, because even though you may not have troubles, someone else might and seeing you there, they may think it's okay to go and then may struggle with it a lot. I also agree with NOTWHATIWAS, about staying in places that are pure and pleasing to God, I personally don't like the atmosphere in a bar and such so I don't really have a desire to go.

What do you mean by seeking to be a Christian ? At this present time are you a christian or not ? Either way, I can tell you that you are not going to find happiness in a bar. I can tell you that from experiences from before I became christian.
Besides like kit said, I also think you knew the answer even before you asked. There are christian fun things to do just as notwhatiwas said, if nothing else if you are going to church form your own group to do christian types of things with. There are few christians dead enough to sin to go hang in a bar. You only go into a den of wolves IF Jesus says to and He will never send anyone in such a place unless He knows you are able to. Also again as someone else said, you need to think about what it looks like to others to say you are a christian and go into a bar.......
1Th 5:22 From all appearance of evil refrain yourselves.
If you are wanting to just go hang in a bar then you need to check yourself...I mean check yourself using the Bible as a guideline. now if you are wanting to witness to someone then catch them outside the bar.
Be strong in the Lord. If you follow Biblical prophecy you know time is really getting short, focus on the things of God.
2 Cor. 13:5 Try your own selves if you be in the faith: prove ye yourselves. Know you not your own selves, that Christ Jesus is in you, unless perhaps you be reprobates?
Lamentations 3:40 Let us examine and probe our ways, And let us return to the LORD.
God bless

It depends on what you do there (and I'm not talking about going into a bar in order to evangelize). And it also may depend on what you have in mind when you say "club scene." That's obviously not a reference to stopping in to the neighborhood bar after work to enjoy a drink and perhaps a few minutes of conversation.

Wow. Very blunt.
I don't know if I am a Christian. Maybe I am not. I have accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior. But I still sin. That's why I question it. But I know you are right. Jesus said you either are with me or against me.
Also, I can see you are right time is getting short. I don't want to end up on the wrong said at the end.

Would that be tempting God, brother?
What do YOU think?

Probably. I definitely don't want to do that.
I think it is not a good environment for me.

No my friend, you most certainly want to be on the wrong side. Jesus said you are either with me or against me, there is no in between. When you stand before the Almighty God at the end you want it to be as your Father.
2Co 5:10 For we must all be made manifest before the judgment–seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
When I finally truly became saved you couldnt keep me out of the church, you couldnt keep me out of the Word, you couldnt keep me from praying, you couldnt keep me from practically knocking people down to tell them about Jesus, I wanted to know all I could about Jesus, I so fell in love with Him. Now after these years I dont tackle people any more, lol, but the more I learn, the more I want to learn. I could care less about ever going into a bar anymore, it hold absolutely nothing for me. Now IF Jesus said go, only then would I ever set foot in a bar. I thought for many years I was saved to finally figure out I wasnt and I thank God I didnt die before I realized it or I would of been in hell. Again, if you are looking for a wife find a true christian woman, one that not only talks the talk but walks the walk, one who is trying to please the Lord.
Actually my advice would be like Pauls was for the single people of his day, he was talking about time being short way back in his day but wow, now we are truly close..
1Co 7:7 I wish everyone could be like me. But God has given each person a different ability. He makes some able to live one way, others to live a different way.
1Co 7:8 Now for those who are not married and for the widows I say this: It is good for you to stay single like me.
1Co 7:9 But if you cannot control your body, then you should marry. It is better to marry than to burn with sexual desire.
1Co 7:26 This is a time of trouble. So I think it is good for you to stay the way you are.
1Co 7:27 If you have a wife, don't try to get free from her. If you are not married, don't try to find a wife.
1Co 7:28 But if you decide to marry, that is not a sin. And it is not a sin for a girl who has never married to get married. But those who marry will have trouble in this life, and I want you to be free from this trouble.
1Co 7:29 Brothers and sisters, this is what I mean: We don't have much time left. So starting now, those who have wives should be the same as those who don't.
See if the following scripture says anything to you and for heaven sake if you have any doubts at all about if you are truly saved then you better be finding out.
Eph 5:3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;
Eph 5:4 nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks.
Eph 5:5 For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
Eph 5:6 Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.
Eph 5:7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them;
Eph 5:8 for ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light
Eph 5:9 (for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),
Eph 5:10 proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;
Eph 5:11 and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;
Eph 5:12 for the things which are done by them in secret it is a shame even to speak of.
Eph 5:13 But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light.
Eph 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.
Eph 5:15 Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise;
Eph 5:16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Eph 5:17 Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
Eph 5:18 And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit;
Eph 5:19 speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;
Eph 5:20 giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;
Peace my friend
