What can I say to my Christian friend who just got engaged to a non-Christian?

[maximemeis111]

This guy is wrong. It's not the girl who needs advice but the guy. He's going to marry a girl who has given up her most precious tool: reason. That girl doesn't think any more but take orders from an old book without thinking and from others without using her mind. She accepts others say-so as facts, blank out contradictions, fakes reality.

try congratulations.

Simple, wise up like your fiancé. Ditch the superstitious crap.



[JunkmanJim]

Maybe you can congratulate her on a good choice as people who do not believe in God divorce less than Christians. Perhaps we could talk about the relationship fallacy of saying that this woman loves Jesus less than her soon to be husband. Would you say that you love your mother more than your father? This better and best comparison shows that Mr. Piper is simply ignorant using this false dichotomy. He sounds great saying all this nonsense but don't choose who you marry based on superstition.

@JunkmanJim Where is your evidence that atheists divorce less than Christians? Is it Atheist Assertion Magazine? Why would the unbelieving man, want to marry a woman who believes in, what you call a 'superstition'? Both the women and man are committing intellectual suicide for the sake of sex. Of course, your superstition is that life came from a monolithic stroke of luck in the Cosmos? Would you marry someone who didn't believe your superstition?

[JunkmanJim]

@TroddinSod

Google atheist divorce rates, you will find multiple credible sources. You will also find that they commit less crimes, make more money, better educated etc. While these things are true, I don't believe that it is fair to say that atheists are superior but simply are not the villains that some would like to believe.

Loving and respecting people who believe differently than me is my duty as a rational human being. Those who lack this capacity have my pity.

[TroddinSod]

@JunkmanJim 'Multiple credible sources'? Really. How bout this, google; 'People called Christians aren't really Christians', you'll find many credible sources! They say Hitler was a Christian, but was he really? So, you're so called credible sources calculate indiscriminately those who call themselves 'Christians' but really aren't. So, it's all here say, bogus, & utterly far from credible. Yet, what about the integrity of an Atheist marrying one who believes in the Christian superstition? Hmm?

Well, maybe she just doesn't believe in the jesus myth but doesn't want to upset her family by being open about being normal.

1 Peter 3:1-2

Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.

[suzieQ1976]

1 Corinthians 7:12-13

To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. (NIV)

[suzieQ1976]

Since I gave my heart to the Lord after years of drug and alcohol abuse, prostitution, and self-hatred, the Lord delivered me from all drugs, booze and permiscuity. I am currently living with my old boyfriend from highschool who loves me VERY MUCH. He is the only human being I can feel comfortable with. I don't trust many people. I was living with him before I was saved. I have completely stopped having sex with him, we are both celibate, yet he still wants to be with me. So, is this a sin?

[GodLovesUs100]

@suzieQ1976 Hey Suzie, I would say so,yes.One of the greatest purposes of godly marriage is being in a covenant with another person in whom you come to have an intimate relationship with both under Christ.Just like it is good to stay pure-physically-I would say it is good to do so spiritually and not yet too attached to someone outside of marriage.So my advice would to just live separate until you get married or something lol,but I am glad to hear what the Lord has done for you..God bless :)

[GodLovesUs100]

@suzieQ1976 If you even get married** forgive me for jumping to conclusions.I will pray for you sister..God bless.

[suzieQ1976]

I'm a born again Christian and I'm living with my highschool sweetheart. We have been together since we were teenagers, and I want so badly for him to love Jesus and believe but he doesn't. I'm hoping that the Lord is going to save him, I don't think it's right to leave someone I've been with all my life. I am TRUSTING that the Lord will open his heart and mind up to the TRUTH. If that makes me a bad person, then so be it. My God is merciful, not condemning. If He can save me, he'll save him too

[tempemonkey2323]

Here is some key text for you... Fuck off you self -righteous bigot... Why should I not be with a person I love just because a book written by a bunch of stone age Jews wandering in the desert with their stone age laws that promote slavery, stoning, and genocide tells me not to? Seriously, why?

Todays religion, is tomorrows literary entertainment!!! Cant wait until this religion joins the others in the graveyard of the gods..

[sicstyl]

He's right on the money with this.

[SEEpsalm27]

I 100% Agree...

[sixfigures1]

Then she is probably not "solid."

[Revinius]

we all get tempted in myriad ways.

[sixfigures1]

This is not temptation, this is sin. In the scenario the person is not being "tempted" to marry a non- christian, she is going through with it.

[Revinius]

She hasnt yet married the man. And the repentence of those who have done so is the mark of a believer.

[sixfigures1]

That's why I wrote, "going through." Temptation would have been in the beginning, upon the thought of courting an unbeliever. Your right, she can repent, but to say so means that she has sinned, not that she is being tempted. You made my point for me.

[conservativessuckass]

The only real love is between humans, love for jesus, is like love for mickey mouse, it's just wasted love.

[Enoch2]

True love in our life is a reflection of GOD, therefore our greatest, highest, and most intense love should be reserved for Him, as it also comes from Him, JESUS CHRIST!

He is the express image of the invisible GOD and we are created in His image, to be the likeness of His image. But until we are born again by His grace through faith, made a new creature in Him, we are a broken and distorted likeness. Once He begins a good work in us, He is restoring us to the likeness of His perfection!

[lucasdasilvamaria]

Tell me about that love between humans when one of them become the perverted sinner you are and die in your place for becoming the perverted evil man you are FOR LOVE!
