Thanks. I would have said that instead of listening to my heart, rather, I should listen to God. Also, I'm not familiar with the 1599 Geneva Bible. Is it the version Presbyterian churches use, or just a personal preference?Somebody here just gave you the advice (without scriptural justification) to "follow your heart".
i would plead that you DO NOT take that advice.
Here's what the scriptures say about your heart and mine...
9)The heart is deceitfull and wicked aboue all things, who can knowe it?God through His word has already spoken on this subject. He tells us to not be unequally yoked.
10)I the Lord search the heart, and try ye reines, euen to giue euery man according to his wayes, and according to the fruite of his workes.
Jeremiah 17:9 1599 Geneva Bible.
14)Be not vnequally yoked with the infidels: for what fellowship hath righteousnesse with vnrighteousnesse? and what communion hath light with darkenesse?Dating is for the intention of marriage, which is a covenant relationship with another persons (see Ephesians 5). Being in covenant relationship with an unbeliever is the last thing you want to do with yourself. Mankind is by nature covenant breakers. That is the testimony of Scripture.
15)And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath the beleeuer with the infidell?
16)And what agreement hath the Temple of God with idols? for ye are the Temple of the liuing God: as God hath said, I will dwell among them, and walke there: and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17)Wherefore come out from among them, and separate your selues, saith the Lord, and touch none vncleane thing, and I wil receiue you.
18)And I will be a Father vnto you, and ye shalbe my sonnes and daughters, saith the Lord almightie.
II Corinthians 6:14-18 1599 Geneva Bible
