Flirting is playing with one's emotions and feelings. Many people have disregarded the Word of God, ruined their lives by flirting with someone other than their spouse.
Hence it has contributed to immorality, adultery, promiscuous, fornication, divorce, lusting and family break ups. A flirt will lead you down the path to death and destruction. There will be no true happiness in the end, neither for that woman nor that man .Flirting is very nice and acceptable between a husband and wife relationships.
The Bible tells us that we are to be a good example, showing others the love of Christ through our behavior (Ephesians 5:1-2). Flirting is not good for the child of God.Any one who is a child of God needs to put off his old sinful ways of life and put on a new life in Christ. Paul says:You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:22-24
Proverbs7 reminds us the importance of avoiding a flirtatious woman. She is called an adulteress. She flatters with her words. She is on the hunt. She is cunning. She is loud and rebellious. She takes the initiative in relationships instead of waiting on the man.
2 Tim. 2:22 says .Now flee from youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
The Bible strongly warns us against tempting others to sin (Matthew 18:7). We should do all we can to bring others into God's Kingdom and never to do anything that would cause a person to stumble in his righteous walk (Romans 14:21). Adultery is a horrible sin which brings the judgment of God (1st Corinthians 6:9,10).
Other Supporting scriptures are:
1 Corinthians 10:31 reminds us, "Whatever you eat or drink or whatever you do, you must do all for the glory of God."
Isaiah 3:16-17:Moreover, the LORD said, "Because the daughters of Zion are proud And walk with heads held high and seductive eyes, And go along with mincing steps And tinkle the bangles on their feet, Therefore the Lord will afflict the scalp of the daughters of Zion with scabs, And the LORD will make their foreheads bare."
I Corinthians 7:1: Now concerning the things about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman.
I Peter 5:8: Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
Ephesians 4:27:Do not give the devil an opportunity.
Matthew 5:28-29:But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust in his eye has already committed adultery with her in his heart. So if your eye - even if it is your good eye - causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell"
Matthew 12:35 tells us that "a good person produces good words from a good heart, and an evil person produces evil words from an evil heart."
Philippians 4:8 says, "Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise."
Romans 6:12 says therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
Colossians 3:5: Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Conclusion: We must never allow sin to control us (Romans 6). Even Though one has forgiven of the sin committed but still there would be the consequences of the sin in his life.

Loved your article Shaila on "The Road to Eternal Life" and it is so wonderful and so accurate, unfortunately, Yahoo! doesn't allow comments listed under "Health" and so I could not comment on it but wanted to let you know I read it and it was awesome....YOU are awesome. God bless you friend.
Jack
I came back to revisit this gem Shaila...and ps, your article about Praying for Sick Children was awesome. We do need to do this...I couldn't comment on it though since it was a Health article.
Your opening lines express the simple truth of flirting, Shaila. It expands, consumes, and then destroies.
Thanks for another great lesson.
Good one ;) - I only flirt with my husband :) cheers
You are so right my friend....Jesus said that even if we look upon a man or woman with lust we have committed adultery in our heart. It reminds me of the Proverb that says, "Can a man take fire in his bosom and not get burned?". Great work as always.
Great Article Shaila! Flirting opens doors that we really don't want to open! Thank you!
