If there is proof he did use Christian mingle, then it's ok. Will need a CIR test to prove he did though.
Nah, just a quick glance at his browser history should suffice.

The scriptures are at best vague and at worst contradictory in their instruction. Even people who have studied them for ages can't agree on single interpretations; the people who eventually "see clearly" are generally just following the interpretation they like best."Glaring contradictions" occur when folks don't bother to reach out and get clarification from those who've studied Scripture for ages. Research those "glaring contradictions" for more than 5 minutes and I promise you'll be able to see clearly...it's happened to more times than I can count!
Also, it's silly for people to think there is a "perfect Christian" roaming this Earth...there isn't...if there was, we'd be worshiping him/her and not Yeshua.
When Form Athletics went down pretty much every company in the business was looking for an opportunity to work with me, and I was really honored just to be wanted like that. I thought it was really awesome, it was a real honor. We came up with a strategy to keep it clean and be sponsored by the UFC itself. I’m glad the UFC wanted to work with me as well, and I think that they trust that I’ll never make them look bad. You never have to worry about me with a DWI or doing something crazy.
I think I’m a good company guy. The UFC asks me to do anything and I always do it, and I never tell them no for anything…They put in the deal that if any mainstream companies come after this win that they will let me go, and I think that’s awesome.”
If Jones finds these other women using Christian Mingle
If you're a human, you're a hypocrite
I believe people got dubs for making fun of "pre-fame gfs/wives" in some thread mentioning Jones, JDS and Shad etc. Tread carefully.

Either way it's beyond the point; either every Christian on the planet is a hypocrite or none of them are, because no one even knows HOW to abide Christianity perfectly.

If Jones finds these other women using Christian Mingle™ is it really against God's law?
I mean, it states right on the website "Find God's match for you"
It's clearly God's will.

I admit I don't have everything Jon's said publicly memorized, but in what instance has he publicly denounced others for doing things he's done?Jon being a hypocrite or not, is not tied to whether other Christians are fallible as well or whether anyone understands what his religion asks of him.
his hypocrisy comes from his actions and words regardless of his religious inclination. he preaches one thing while living his life doing another. His DUI, drug use and party life with other women are all contrary to the things he espouses publicly.
What this stuff about Jones sleeping around on his wife?
Get out trollThat is the typical answer from folks too lazy to truly study Scripture, and/or who fail to realize that what they were forced to read as a kid may actually make sense now that they're grown up, have a job, relationships, children, etc.
As far as interpretations, again, I've yet to come across something that isn't crystal clear as to what's expected and/or what is promised. I can sit here and tell you that my interpretation of Scripture is that it allows picking up prostitutes, smoking crack, etc., but how clowded is mind, and how bitter is my heart to actually believe that coincides with a God who doesn't want you to contract herpes, break up with your family, or end up in a gutter dead of an overdose?
We know how to abide, we simply won't...why? Spiritual warfare is a daily thing my friend!
Apologetics always funny There are plenty of biblical scholars who ackwowledge the many contridictions in the bible. Have you actually read the bible? You literally only need to read genesis 1 and 2 to start seeing contradictions
For the past several weeks there have been many revelations made about Jon Jones' private life. From using Coke to sleeping around on his wife, Jones' public image has taken a beating over the past three or so weeks. I'm not interested in discussing the morality of what Jones has done. I'm more interested in explaining why none of this makes Jones a hypocrite.
You see, there are many people out there who are labeling Jones a hypocrite. They say that Jones tries to portray himself as a Christ loving man of God from the Christian tradition yet, they say, he's done somethings that don't seem to vibe with that image.
Well I think this view is wrong. Jon Jones is certainly a Christian and he certainly uses drugs and has extramarital affairs but he is not a hypocrite.
Jon Jones has chosen to involve himself in a philosophy called Christianity. Christianity makes all sorts of recommendations about how people should live their lives and what the moral code for humans should be. But with Christianity's longevity and storied past comes the fact that it is simply a philosophy (one of millions). No reasonable person expects an adherent of a philosophy to follow that philosophy from top to bottom, day and night. To say that Jon Jones has failed to live up to his philosophy in a strict way is to say that he has done what every living human would do in his position.
Jon Jones is not a hypocrite. He is an imperfect practitioner of his chosen philosophy. In other words, he's just like every other practitioner of any philosophy.
