What Teenagers Need to Understand About Dating! ... Double dating can be a help. It is also a good idea to avoid prolonged, steady dating. Time and familiarity with another person can slowly but very surely break down our defenses. It is a valuable guideline to consider dating as a hands-off activity. Once a boy and girl begin to touch, feel and caress one another, the stop signs become blurred and convictions lose their strength. Remember that under conditions of mutual respect, the boy will never try to take advantage of the girl, neither will the girl tempt the boy by thoughtless dress or action which will tend to arouse his natural desire. Mutual consideration is a two way street. In conclusion it should be pointed out that dating is an important, but a small part of a teenager's total life, just as the icing is an important, but a small part of the cake. Dating too often (or for too many hours) is like a cake that is all icing.

Trinity proof texts: John 10:30-33 ... So the stunning conclusion is that while JW's deny Jesus was teaching he was THE God, they actually must affirm that Jesus was teaching he was "a god" and that the Jews correctly understood this yet wanted to stone him anyway! It is obvious that the Jews would reject the JW view of Jesus being "a god as quickly as the Trinitarian view that Jesus was "THE God" (as Jn 20:28 teaches). Evidently, the Jews never made such distinctions as JW's do. This all proves that the Jehovah's Witness doctrine of Henotheism is something not understood or comprehended by the Jews any more than trinity Doctrine was!

What The Death Of Christ Accomplished! This vicarious pattern was illustrated directly through the Old Testament antitype of the scapegoat, Lev 16:21-22. It was God's plan that an exchange be made: "the just for the unjust", Jn 10:14-18; Mt 26:53; 1 Cor 5:21; Gal 1:3-4; ; 3:13; 2 Cor ... It appears that in God's overall plan, there was some kind of time table in place to determine when Christ would die. Jesus was clearly appointed by God to die from the Garden, even before creation: Gen 3:15; Isa 53:6,10; Ac 2:23; Eph 3:11; 1 Pe 1:19-20. It seems that when the Gentiles started taking interest in Jesus, it was a signal to Christ that His death was near and His mission was accomplished: Jn 12:20-23; Jn 4:34; 17:4; 19:28-30. Although the death of Christ was part of a predetermined plan, Jesus was clearly not forced into dying, but volunteered his life as a gift, Isa 53:12; Mt 26:53; Joh 2:19; 5:26; 10:17,18.
