Are Christian dating apps a sin?

[MattTheCricketBat]

I've been discussing about Christian dating apps on this interactive audio room and whether they're acceptable or a good way to meet someone, but I'm curious from the perspective of people who have different denominational backgrounds - what do you all think? Are dating apps a good way to find a spouse, or are they just a reflection of the world with no use for believers? Would be interested in hearing from a plethora of denominational backgrounds (as well as some Baptists as well!)

Personally I think they're okay if you use a lot of discernment, but certainly there's risks involved. I've had friends who have met their wives on dating apps that are clearly God-orchestrated relationships, but also I've known people have a lot of heartbreak from them too.

I would not use one, and also to even lust after a woman in the heart is adultery. That's all am going to say, pray to God who will give thee the answer without upbraiding and liberally.

I wouldn’t use one either … my wife wouldn’t like it.

But my daughter met her husband on a dating site. They are happily married with two grown kids now.

In the Bible it says that everything has a place and time (1 Opinions 3:16)

I don't care about them one way or another. I don't use them, but I have a few friends who do.

Morning, Paul said there are some things lawful but not expedient. Just be catious, God can change evil to good but dosen't mean its right for everyone.
