Here's our email address. It's Questions at CoreChristianity.com. First up today, let's go to a

voicemail from one of our listeners. This is Katia. Someone at church asked if you should read the Bible

and or pray with someone you're dating. And the answer he had was no because equally

to inappropriate intimacy before marriage. I disagree, but was wondering what your thoughts are as a pastor.

Hey, Katya, thank you so much for that question. Sort of like, I don't know if you guys have ever heard

this, but you know, it's like, well, don't dance. You know, as Christians,

we don't dance because you know what dancing can lead to. And here, it's don't read the Bible and

pray together because you know what that could lead to. And so, so your question, right, it sounds to me,

like you were maybe talking with someone in your church or a pastor and and you're in a dating

relationship or you're thinking about dating relationships and you're wondering is it appropriate or

okay for two Christians who are dating to read the Bible together and to pray together and the

response was well you know no because that could turn into something else.

That could turn into sexual immorality.

First, certainly, it's not like there's a Bible verse that says, you know, you're not supposed to do this.

I mean, I think of all the things that you want to understand about a person that you're dating,

especially if you're dating the right way with the intent of getting married,

you want to know that this person loves God and is committed to the Lord.

And they love God's word.
