As a former user of this site, I can confidently attest to the fact that it’s no different than any other Filipina dating site. In fact you’ll see much of the same women on multiple platforms, including Christian Filipina. They primarily go on the site to meet a foreigner. The name “Christian” has largely nothing to do with the type of users who are on it. All sites like this are pretty much the same. They are just as “serious” on this site as any other. I know the channel owner makes money by getting people to sign up from this link but it’s somewhat false advertising.
At one time I was subscribed yo Christian Filipina there never attracted to any of the Filipinas. They all appeared to be homely province Filipinas. I have always had friends and family trying to set me up with unattractive women and criticized and sabotage my relationships of women I dated. No physical intimacy with either. I met a Filipina on a dating site and we are getting married in March 24. I wished someone would look into the many expats and Filipinas volggers trafficking very young homely province Filipinas to expats looking for a Filipina. The expats themselves are 65+.the Filipina volggers groom the Filipinas on dress till they look girls in the US 1920s and 1930s. The gross expats brag of the very young Filipinas they sleeping with and controlling them. We live in Cebu and when with my girlfriend have be confronted by expats to dump my girlfriend of 40 yo push a Filipina in early 20s. That I wasn't a real man if I didn't. This human trafficking.
@@righteousbilly Yes you would be correct. Just like other sites you would need to filter through them to find the ones who are really born again. Just their profile page says a lot most of the time. The term “Christian “ has lost its true meaning
Residing in the Philippines with many expat cultures, sexuality is viewed in different ways. Being in that environment where many are living together or dating around is common and excepted doesn't make it right and is against God's word. We are all sinners in God's sight but we must control our actions and stay in God's word to be strong and resist the temptation that our flesh craves.
If you fall into sexual sin it’s 100% on you! Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. - James 1:13-14 You can’t expect someone to live Godly moral life if they don’t have the Lord living in them! I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. - John 15:5
This is a great subject brothers, thank God for your courage to talk about it. I’ve been a committed believer for over 40 years, but I’ve only been committed to celibacy for seven years and now God is blessing me with a wonderful Christian Filipino woman that I am gonna come down there and live my rest of my days in holiness and love and preaching the gospel., I would like to meet you guys when I get there and come fellowship with you and your brothers. And we are committed to waiting for the wedding night. She has been waiting almost 12 years we’re not gonna spoil it with one moment of passion. please pray for our strength and resolve, and for the Holy Spirit to have rule over us during the waiting time.
Random or living in sin with one both are wrong. What people need is salvation to get the strength and those saved God the Father will discipline them and bring them back.
As a Dutch Buddhist watching an American Christian in the Philippines I think this is a noble cause. There are some highly effective Buddhist practises that can reduce lust like the "contemplation of the 32 parts of the body", and cultivating the perception of love, like seeing the girl you have lust for in the same way you would look upon your sister or daughter. These are highly effective and can be used by anyone, Buddhist or not.
Survival and reproduction are the base desires of practically all living species. Everything we do fundamentally revolves around that. How some people resist a desire that is hardwired into our core by our creator is beyond me, but apparently some people do manage to fight the hard-wired instinct.
Good video. I’m a Christian on my 2nd Filipina wife, first was 15yrs now on 16yrs my second. She is a Christian. Can I just say that internet pornography plays a huge part in temptation behind the scenes. Adding to that if you live in the Philippines you have situations where even if you are married, very young girls are available and have no qualms about being discreet and leading you astray. The temptation in the PI is astounding. I am from the UK but live in Florida (thank goodness) as there is less physical temptation here. I know though in the PI its like you can live out your fantasies with women who are much much younger than you. Stay in Gods word hide it in your heart. If you think you are susceptible, don’t get married.
Interesting ,but we are all sinners , so I take many teachings as the right path ,guidance , something are just impossible to do , ,eg: love thy enemy ,, it's impossible to do,, but something simple as being as being faithful should be an easy one to achieve ,marriage has become a legal contract and less about God
I guess it’s easier for me to concentrate on one good woman at my age almost 68. I have a natural ability to limit my sharing my attention with others now, & who needs more headache’s and drama in your life? You really want to nurture what you have, not look for greener grass across the fence. 😅 I was a high value man my whole life, I never dated randomly, my first dated woman was my wife for 23 years, and now just 1 Filipina we met through friends and will get married with her to share our future together. She also had a long term previous relationship of 21 years so we are ideal life partners, for each other going forward. 😊
The bible says, let god's word be true and every man a liar. Also it says Let your yes be yes and your no be no. It seems you are trying to negate gods word by dancing around the truth. God does not want people to have sex before marriage. Is best to obey god than man. We are all sinners but at the same time we are to speak God's word. Lean not unto our own understanding. When we are trying to give people options for their sins we are not helping them at all. We just have to speak God's truth. One other point, the fear of the lord is the beginning of understanding. We as Christians must stay with the word of God no matter what. There can be five good people and when one bad person is put into the group all become bad.
I was going to comment but you summed it up perfectly. Being a pastor does not give you the authority to water down the truth. In fact you will be held accountable to God for misleading people. When you pray and tell God you “love him” while misleading people. Remember Jesus said “If you love me you will obey me and my commandments “ so much for not commenting
@@paulcohen6727yes! But he said stop rooming around with many girls and stick with one. The video was like trying to make the sin of living with one better than going with many partners but there is a problem with that those people need salvation not moral teaching 😅
@@josephrobi6806 so, you interpret "stick with one' to mean to sleep with her. I don't see it that way. Sounds to me like he was saying not to run with many girls but to get to know one that you're serious about marrying.
It is a very important topic but everything we say or do has to be according to God's word. You can't resist the devil if you give in a little. Hopefully, I can come to the Philippines sometime next year and have some fellowship with you?
This is a real problem!!! I have heard many foreign men (married too) tell me stories about girls throwing themselves constantly at them. Hmmm....also married Filipino men have said same crazy stories.
When I lived in Belize women were throwing themselves at me. Constantly. I lived there for a year. After about 6 months the ones I saw the most often slowed down significantly in their efforts. I always wore my wedding ring and would tell them, every couple minutes while walking down the side walk, “I’m married.” I was shocked that son many of these women would reply, “so?” I was astonished at how anyone could have that attitude. After the first week I decided to literally keep my head anywhere but over to the women hitting on me, obviously purposefully ignoring them, while wearing headphones so they may assume I can’t hear them trying to talk to me. After a couple months of this I forgot my headphones one day. One of the more persistent women zoomed up next to me in her golf cart as I walked on the sidewalk and pulled ahead of me, stoped, looked directly back at me and said, “you forgot your headphones.”…we both laughed and she never bothered me again lol. It was exhausting….marriage is for LIFE.
Thanks, Gary for providing this critical video. Resisting Sexual Temptation in the Philippines and any part of the world is something we must FLEE from. Appreciate the discussion. God Bless. Philippians 2:12-13 NKJV 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
As a Pagan i think sex ranges from an instinctual drive to a santified act at its best. Neurotic pursuit of it is harmful though. But closer to a sin is the greed of the multinationals and elite families there who keep the population impoverished. Preach to them.
I could follow along pretty much but to say that marriage under God is not a governmental thing is not true for a simple reason. God tells us we have to obey the laws and governments (as peacemakers) knowing that God allows governments to exist having this relative position. Give Cesar what belongs to Cesar and give God what belongs to God. In other words, disobeying a government is like disobeying God. But we should not obey what God is against. So if a government requires the registration of marriage to acknowledge a marriage, then it’s not against Gods will which means we should get married if we want to go further then what is allowed without a marriage. If you study that subject, you could lecture with scriptures to backup.
I think you just indicted just about every expat RUclipsr in the Phil's. I assume 99.9% of expats have had sex with their Filipina before they married them. Some are currently living with their GF's and I assume they are having sex. I remember when Bill Clinton said only intercourse is sex which is completely false. But I guess he just couldn't face his own sexual sin with Monica. So he rationalized that only intercourse was sexual sin. One thing about humans we are really good at rationalizing our sin away and making it acceptable. I'll never forget when my aunt said she's never committed a sin so she doesn't need Jesus to save her soul! 5 years later she died of liver cancer still believing she was without sin.
Can you recommend to me am here in negros occidental Kabankalan city but I want the men that respectful I come from Singapore and divorce my ex singaporean too but am pilipino
The pot calling the kettle black? The old "do as I say, not as I do". (or did). I know you have "found God", but I still don't think you can preach this message. Just my opinion. I too practiced what you are preaching against earlier in my life, but I didn't need to find God to know that it was wrong. Certainly preach the message from a moral perspective, but not from a "Christian" perspective. It is morally wrong, no matter what religion a person is (or none at all).
@@americanchristianinphilipp960 Yes, my point is, preach from a moral perspective, not a Christian perspective. Christianity is not a prerequisite for being moral.
@@ulyssesfewl1059 But how do you convince a person that fornication is morally wrong if he doesn't give and credence to the Bible? You might say, you risk disease or an unwanted pregnancy but they can reply that medical procedures can prevent that. You might say it causes broken hearts but they can counter that with some rationalization too. So on what basis can we actually agree that it's wrong, the way nearly everyone agrees that theft or murder is wrong?
@@paulcohen6727 Thanks for your engagement Paul. My point is not "how to convince", but rather that if something is morally wrong, then it is independent of religious beliefs or agnosticism or atheism. There are human (and humane) reasons that it is morally wrong, belief or otherwise in "a God" is not only irrelevant, but it is unhelpful to insist.
Consider the wisdom of the Holy Orthodox Church, full spectrum: The highest is virginity. John the Baptist was a virgin because he was the first to hear the voice of the Virgin Mary. God Incarnate of the Virgin. Christian history is full of those who followed this (monastics) but even certain married couples were blessed in church and wed but never consumated the marriage. Of course, most couples procreate. But even here, procreation is second to spiritual growth individually, as a couple, and as a family. Divorce is not blessed, but it is allowed due to the weakness of the flesh. 2nd and even 3rd marriages are allowed by leniency, while in all of this, trying to approach it legally is somewhat defeatist. While many protestants and papists have a beef with St. Constantine the Great, he is St. Constantine the Great for good reason if one is open to the gentle wisdom of the All Holy Spirit. He was born of a second marriage, his mother St. Helen having been divorced by her first husband.
The post of that video posting women with bikinis are not the norm in Philippines. Girls wear t-shirt 👕 and short at the beach so that post is not representing the way of life in Philippines 🇵🇭 😅
@@timhnc75yet, only 8 survivors in Noah’s ark. And the last days in the future people will be like the last days before the flood back then. Don’t think it doesn’t matter what you do because God is so forgiving. There’s a reason why we should not ignore Matthew 7:14 For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it. Don’t become ignorant.
@@DennisSleeswijk Yes, narrow is the gate which tells me that most people who think they are good with God are self deceived. Thats why prayer and understanding the word of God in its proper context is vitaly important. Too many “Christian “ churches dont like to talk about sin which leaves people to feel ok with it. “Nobodys Perfect” is just an excuse to continue living a pattern of unrepentant sin.
Be patient, look at a man’s actions opposed to what he’s telling you and don’t lower your expectations and morals. The man who has a good relationship with God shows faith in action and can lead your family spiritual. Don’t entertain man who are way below your own spiritual maturity. Example? A bird could love a fish but where would they build there home? 😂 You know what I mean 💪🏼
Well first all sin is the same there is no worse sin. Second I've not had any need to 'combat' any sexual approaches by women here I don't understand what you guys are on about especially here in Dumaguete.
God makes the rules, not me. I just broke them like everyone else. The 'playing' made me miserable, God has given me purpose and now I am living a happy life. Thanks for watching!
Ive often thought that about Gary but what about the rest of us who proclaim Jesus as our Lord and Savior. There is nothing wrong with pointing out sin but its the attitude behind it that matters. “ The plank in my own eye” If someone is not born again then they will live like the rest of the world and go along with the world belief system but if someone claims to be a “Christian “ and they live like everyone else then that should be addressed with love and a spirit of humility. Lying to them and telling them its okay is the opposite of love.
That may be a rough place to remain, and flee from carnal temptation, i would not retire over there, for the quality of lives, it will be for ulterior reason, and one will be fornication, and lust, not for nothing else!!
Philippines 🇵🇭 is not a temptation like America or Europe. The people here dress poorly because of lack of money and the beach area is t shirt and short nothing like bikinis 👙. There is no temptation in the Philippines 🇵🇭. 😅
There is no temptation in Philippines 🇵🇭 like America, Europe with bikinis. People are mostly poor and dress poorly and not following the style. At the beach is t-shirt and short in Philippines. 😅
There is nothing wrong with sex between two consenting adults it’s a personal choice and these guys are either broke or can’t get any simple as that and by the way i love god!🤷And I’m not talking about man on man that is definitely a sin….
For ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23. We are all are sinners by nature, by practice, and have come short of the glory of God - have failed of that, which is the chief end of man. Come short, as the archer comes short of the mark, as the runner comes short of the prize; so come short, as not only not to win, but to be great losers. Eternal losers. Btw, Inphinityproductions, He died for your sins too. He loves you and wants a relationship with you. If you draw close to Him, he promises, He'll draw close to you too. Take care Inphinityproductions. Mark, in Dallas.
Wow are you guys fighting a lost cause. With all the deadly poverty there you guys are leaving home base to protect the virtue of a woman? Virtue who can find?
These old men are leaving their home base to get a barely legal of course, marry them, and leverage relgion to make it seem OK. Also, religion will make it less likely the girl will leave.

So if you have a "pastoral blessing" then you can have sex. Did I understand that correctly?
Why would you resist it? Isn’t that why everybody goes there?
What kind of person feels entitled to tell others how to live? Kind of lot of red flags.
The kind that loves others enough to point them to the teachings of the person who saves us from our sin, Jesus.

@@timhnc75yet, only 8 survivors in Noah’s ark. And the last days in the future people will be like the last days before the flood back then. Don’t think it doesn’t matter what you do because God is so forgiving. There’s a reason why we should not ignore Matthew 7:14 For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.
Don’t become ignorant.
@@DennisSleeswijk Yes, narrow is the gate which tells me that most people who think they are good with God are self deceived. Thats why prayer and understanding the word of God in its proper context is vitaly important. Too many “Christian “ churches dont like to talk about sin which leaves people to feel ok with it. “Nobodys Perfect” is just an excuse to continue living a pattern of unrepentant sin.
How to find a Christian man who loves God
You must love God First 😅
Be patient, look at a man’s actions opposed to what he’s telling you and don’t lower your expectations and morals. The man who has a good relationship with God shows faith in action and can lead your family spiritual.
Don’t entertain man who are way below your own spiritual maturity. Example?
A bird could love a fish but where would they build there home? 😂 You know what I mean 💪🏼
Well first all sin is the same there is no worse sin. Second I've not had any need to 'combat' any sexual approaches by women here I don't understand what you guys are on about especially here in Dumaguete.
now that gary is done playing he wants to change the rules
God makes the rules, not me. I just broke them like everyone else. The 'playing' made me miserable, God has given me purpose and now I am living a happy life. Thanks for watching!
@@americanchristianinphilipp960 sure , sure
@@americanchristianinphilipp960 Great reply, Gary. Humble and on point. Mark in Dallas.
Ive often thought that about Gary but what about the rest of us who proclaim Jesus as our Lord and Savior. There is nothing wrong with pointing out sin but its the attitude behind it that matters. “ The plank in my own eye” If someone is not born again then they will live like the rest of the world and go along with the world belief system but if someone claims to be a “Christian “ and they live like everyone else then that should be addressed with love and a spirit of humility. Lying to them and telling them its okay is the opposite of love.
That may be a rough place to remain, and flee from carnal temptation, i would not retire over there, for the quality of lives, it will be for ulterior reason, and one will be fornication, and lust, not for nothing else!!
Philippines 🇵🇭 is not a temptation like America or Europe. The people here dress poorly because of lack of money and the beach area is t shirt and short nothing like bikinis 👙. There is no temptation in the Philippines 🇵🇭. 😅
There is no temptation in Philippines 🇵🇭 like America, Europe with bikinis. People are mostly poor and dress poorly and not following the style. At the beach is t-shirt and short in Philippines. 😅
There is nothing wrong with sex between two consenting adults it’s a personal choice and these guys are either broke or can’t get any simple as that and by the way i love god!🤷And I’m not talking about man on man that is definitely a sin….
Jesus died for your sins. So if you don't sin. It was for nothing...
"What then, shall we continue in sin so that grace may abound? God Forbid! How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? " Romans 6:1-2
For ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23. We are all are sinners by nature, by practice, and have come short of the glory of God - have failed of that, which is the chief end of man. Come short, as the archer comes short of the mark, as the runner comes short of the prize; so come short, as not only not to win, but to be great losers. Eternal losers. Btw, Inphinityproductions, He died for your sins too. He loves you and wants a relationship with you. If you draw close to Him,
he promises, He'll draw close to you too. Take care Inphinityproductions. Mark, in Dallas.
Wow are you guys fighting a lost cause. With all the deadly poverty there you guys are leaving home base to protect the virtue of a woman? Virtue who can find?
These old men are leaving their home base to get a barely legal of course, marry them, and leverage relgion to make it seem OK. Also, religion will make it less likely the girl will leave.
The subject is not poverty
hahahahhaahahhhaha what a bunch of singsongs
