I approve because yes you should bring your partner to CHRIST.
I disapprove because if you have told them about CHRIST then I say dump him or her depending on if you are a guy or girl. I am not judging you, I believe you have very good intentions. But by you marring an athiest you will be marring darkness. When I say that I mean not to judge but to show you all love in JESUS name.
Part 2: and those examples of blindness and deception are a few of the reasons why women are NOT to teach, something that our culturally indoctrinated "easy-believism" churches these days have fallen into. In fact, the believers who care about you should instruct you and rebuke your error and help set you on the right path. That is what I am taking the time to do now. Women are to be discipled by their husbands. Women who stay single are to help widows and orphans. Its all in scripture.
Why are you teaching on the internet. Scripture & the convictions of the Holy Spirits are clear that spiritually mature men are to teach. Spiritually mature elder women are to instruct younger women. Young single women do nor EVER teach or lead in the body. Also, you are saying many things that are wrong & some are outright anti-Christ. Dating an atheist is impossible for a believer & counter to God's word. Marrying an unbeliever is bondage for a believer as it equates to marrying the world.
So sad many Christians especially women being deceived by this kind of belief that they would eventually bring their partners/spouse to the Lord thru them but ended up in failure even lost and cold. This is like going to casino believing you could beat the casino
The bible's instruction clearly says "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?" (2 Cor. 6:14, KJV)
"Strong Christian?" Well, the fact that you are in a relationship with an atheist already indicates your weakness and failure. I do not judge you but i rebuke you
@dukeofhonda Why did the bible say this? To prevent the hebrews from compromise so that jesus could come and fill his role. He did that. You calling my non religious Girlfriend unrightious and dark? One of my previous religious friends did that. we’re no longer friends. How is it that you as a flawed human get to judge others based off of belief? not actions, not ethics, not morals, but one single belief?
I'm a Christian and I find it just doesn't work right with "Atheist"/Agnostic people, but open minded and real Atheist (one's who don't care but don't despute it) people it can be fine but ultimately in Heaven there is no marriage (Matthew 22:30 for one of many examples) so if you are with someone who makes you happy and doesn't stray you from the path then it's fine.
just so you know you can't your life back from Him but He can take it back from you. Someday you'll have to stand before Him and none of this stuff will matter.
well u can give it back. if u reject him u can give it back. god does not make u do anything, and thus free will. if someoen decides 2 give god there "eternity in heaven" then thats there choice
totally. btw I'm sorry things didn't go how you expected the first time but God doesn't make things go wrong for you. The Bible says in Romans 8 that He causes all things to work together for the good of those who love Him. I hope you decide to give Him your life on earth as well as your life in Heaven so He can show you now just how faithful He really is. : )
well i meen personally look at all the options reencarnation: u gotta relive puberty, going poof: ur life was worth nothing, hell: torture, heaven: worshipping one being into eternity (tedious if u ask me)... idk bout u but none sound worth my major time.
it hurts me to hear that. the reason its not worth living is because you don't have Him in your life. i ain't talkin bout going to church or readin the bible or being nice to people (although that's part of it) but anybody can do that. i mean havin a real day to day relationship with Him where He speaks to you and loves you and you speak to Him and love Him. it's clear that you do believe in Him but you don't trust Him. i challenge you to say everyday for a week "God help me trust you"
no one likes their sin reproven............shove..........shove................shove...........drowing people will kick you, bite you, and punch you. i dont ask drowing people if they want their life saved. just yank em out of the water, let em catch some fresh air and if they want to fight me after all that still, who cares. they will wake up the next morning alive
but wat if they dont want 2 b alive the next morning. like dont get me rong, ur metaphor completely makes sense. im just saying wat if they dont want 2 b alive?
hopefully someone will be there every morning. it is an inaliable right for a man to live. life is its own dominion with a man. no one can tell him to keep it or not without that man agreeing. life is taken by force of one man against another or that man against himself. If men stand against their own selves, there remains no saving them. I rescue with that inaliable notion that men want to live
every heard the saying assuming makes an ass out of u and me? a wiser man i no said assuming makes an ass out of u and pisses me off. dont assume that thats wat ppl want. ive been on both ends of the spectrum. faithful 2 god and against him. i found that i wanted 2 help ppl wen i was faithful but now i c how annoying it was. ppl try 2 get me 2 follow christ and i have 2 say god screwed me over and now i dont want it.
dont misunderstand please. picture a fireman with a person in a burning building. the fireman does his job, pulls the person out, it would be silly for the 'rescued person' to get angry. the fireman does not ask 'do you want to live', the man sees a human being and rescues the human being.
now concerning my faith, you have your own soverienty, i havnt told you anything except parabolic stories. forcing to believe only produces rebelion. i was not forced to believe and would not impose upon
I will try to be honest with you now without sounding judgemental so hear me right when I say this. God doesn't have to prove Himself to you in anyway because He is God and can do whatever He likes. I'm not going to defend the Bible because it defends itself. I'm not going to try and prove to you that God exists or that Jesus is who He says is because that's not my job. God doesn't owe you anything because He already gave you everything including His Son. You owe Him everything.
i owe him nothing. i gave him my life and he all he did was make it miserable. so i took it bak. u rnt being judgmental. ur asserting ur opinion and im asserting mine. im just really sik of god. he screwed me over so i pulled away. lifes fine without him. and i did at one point have him
Firstly I think you're really missing my main point here. I know God personally. I speak to Him and He speaks to me. I love other Christians and I love the Church but that's not what being a Christian is about first and foremost and until you understand that none of what I say will reach you.
Secondly I don't think you know who God is. All the explanation in the world couldn't get that to you either because you have to know Him for yourself and not just know about Him.
if nothing can explain who god is then how in anyway shape or form understand who he is unless he has the desire 2 respond? doesnt that show favoritism on his part?
you probably dont need 20 bucks very much so if you couldnt gettin after strugglin with me for a while you just give up and walk away. you would feel better because you weren't having to strain yourself anymore. i believe it's the same with God for you. i don't know if you've got that video i sent you so i will post it on here as well.
exactly, im not going 2 strain myself. no y? bkuz im sik of always being the one putting forth effort and not getting any in response. another reason i gave up on religion...
its not because He just sadistic and loves to watch suffering! He's not sitting up in heaven mocking all the people crying out to Him.
its not because He wants to see whether or not they are serious about wanting Him because He knows what is truly in their hearts.
He does it because He wants to show them their own heart. If i held 100 bucks in my hand and said "its yours" you would try to take it. but if i gripped it tight you would have to put more energy into taking it from me.
eh mony isnt important... id probably say meh enjoy ur mony ill live on my own. if it was something actually important like someone trying 2 steal my bf god noes ill fite until blood 2 keep him but i no wen 2 give up kuz they dont want me. if i realize that someone doesnt want me and its pointless i give up. another reason that i am not a christian
the bible is jam-packed with people who needed God to show up for them and continually cried out to Him but He hung back. check out the psalms dude! you wrote on your wall that you like poetry. in parts the psalms are just poem after poem of David basically saying "come on God you said you'd always be there for me!! you said you'd help me! let's see it then!" God often tests people in the bible in this way. He withholds Himself from them and listens to them as they cry out to Him. why?
actually i no about the psalms. i no about job. but i also no how the bible says god is a loving god but at the same time he is a walking contradiction. he is a very angry god. like really he wants this world 2 b destroyed at some points.
you should keep your dislike of self-righteousness! God LOVES that about you! However as Christians we aren't supposed to become more like other Christians but more like Jesus! He's the real example. The Holy Spirit helps us to do that and we need to read the bible, the word of God to know how we should be. people aren't perfect and God knows that and now so do you. that why God wants to make us more like His Son instead because He's perfect. i'm not excusing their behaviour, just explaining it
how can u say that something is perfect wen we r imperfect and do not really no wat perfection is? i honestly, its not just the ppl, its also the religion. wen i looked into i found imperfections and hypocricy and contradictions: another reason i dont believe it.
When i watched your video and read some of the comments i wasnt going to get involved because i just thought "man i see more hate on the christian videos on youtube than anywhere else! i dont want to get involved"
BUT i really felt God's heart for you and i couldnt just walk away from it because there is something you need to know. I think the fact that you saw that the christians were self-righteous and judgemental is GOOD!! Christians shouldnt be that way. Our job is sharing God's heart!!
Picture two people, one on a chair and one on the ground. They are having a tug-of-war. Who is gona win? The person on the ground of course because it's much easier to pull someone down than it is to pull someone up! It seems like your bf's atheism was stronger than your faith. That's not me tryna judge that's just how it is. And that's why God doesn't want us dating non-Christians. There is a video I'd like to show you that will help explain everything I've said..
4. God is still waiting for you to come back to Him because He loves you like you wouldn't believe!! His hands are constantly outstretched to you but He doesn't want you to go back to the way things were before. He wants a real, deep and meaningful relationship with you.
5. God loves your Atheist boyfriend and wants Him to know Him and the life that He gives!! : D
6. You can't actually stop being a Christian. Once Christ is in you, you can't kick Him out!! : )
4) if god wanted me so badly he wouldve cared about his ppl who made my life miserable & pushed me 2 near suicide. there was a time wen i pushed so much 2 have him bak & 2 stay faithful 2 him but i got 2 the point wer i gave up praying & wat not. after that things got better. i wasnt relying on someone who was only disappointing me
5) idk if god does or doesnt
6) idk if thats true or not there r times wen i feel connected still, then i say no & him him away again so i dont get disappointed again
People who have been drawn away from God by other things and then find themselves unable to get back to Him. I want to tell you a few things and ask you a few things so I guess if you've read this far you will answer me.
1. Jesus died for you not just to give you the label of "Christian" but to give life in ALL it's fullness John10:10.
2. Your screen name worries me because no-one who knows God can be lonely.
3. Would you really let the way other Christians have been rob you of eternal life?
1) i no jesus died for everyone but how do we even no who he was. there was a book ritten about him saying, he was 1 or 3 things: liar, crazy man, or who he said he was. idk and cant answer u that
2) a sn is a sn
3) they showed me wat i didnt wanna become so i gave up on being that. i belive wat i believe and if u want that all ritten out send me a message kuz those things r better 2 rite looong messages out than on here
4) if god wanted me so badly he wouldve cared about his ppl who made my life miserable and pushed me 2 near suicide. there was a time wen i pushed so much 2 have him bak and 2 stay faithful 2 him but i got 2 the point wer i gave up praying and wat not and after that things got better i wasnt relying on someone who was only disappointing me
5) idk if god does or doesnt
6) and idk if thats true or not, there r times wen i feel connected still then i say no and push him away agian
Special fact for ya, i loved this when i heard it. There is more non-biased evidence for the existence of Jesus than there is for Julius Caeser and Alexander the Great!! So it's not just the bible that talks about Him. With regards to who He was that's where faith comes in because the logic of the world says it doesn't make sense which for me is why it's so amazing! : )
God wants you so badly that He sent me after you! Who am i? i'm just a guy who loves and knows Jesus and loves His family!
He helped me get through the pain and showed me what I had done wrong. I was right in recognising that she needed to be closer to God but the way I went about it was totally wrong. She needed a friend who would help and encourage her to see God for who He really is and not get between her and God. I apologised both to her and to God for what I did and I'm still praying that she will turn a corner and quit the prodigal son act. I've heard your story so many times and it breaks my heart!!
When I was your age (i'm 20 now) I went out with a girl i thought was a weak Christian but it turned out she probably wasn't actually Christian although she said she was and she went to church and everything). I thought I could lead her to the Lord myself and everything would be great. Nuh-uh. She wanted to be part of the world more than she wanted to live for Jesus. It ended horribly and was very painful me but thank God my desire for Him was stronger than my desire for her.
Simple as that and Jesus set us that example. However Jesus also said that no-one comes to know Him (or becomes a Christian) unless He draws them. (John 6:44) This is why I would say that dating some and trying to bring them to Christ isn't particularly useful because it's not us that draws people in, God does it. Yes He uses us but we just confuse the situation as the other person's feelings are directed at us, not God. I wouldn't dare lecture you without experience myself so I will share too.
Hey so I actually read through ALL the above comments!! Sounds like you've been getting a mixture of hate and love from Christians and non-Christians alike!! yikes!
Now I won't pretend I have any special authority to speak into your life but I couldn't say nothing and I know that from reading the above you will take whatever you like from what I say so here goes.
First and foremost totally agree that its stupid not to associate with non-Christians otherwise people just don't get saved.
Just one last thing, the reason why we should not yoke w/ a non believer is that a couple who doesn't share a Godly foundation will clash and experience conflict. like the oxen pulling in different directions,God is to be at the center of a Christian Deep inside you will always have the desire for your boyfriend to share your faith and no matter how much of an influence you can be
ultimately only God can change his heart and vise versahis worldly views will influence you and tempt you to do unchristian acts which can lead away from the relationship you have w/ God. See. 2 Corinthians 6:14- Relationships based on a common faith is for our benefit, blessing and protection. God wants what is absolutely best for you.
I forgot to add bible verses backing up righteous judging. John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Look at Matthew 7:1 If we look at the whole text we can see that this is not a call not to judge, but a call to be careful and judge rightly. To first look at ourselves and then once we have examined our own sin, then we will be able to see clearly to look at the sin of our brother. also see 1 Corinthians 2:15-16 NIV
ppl will most likely get mad about this comment, but i have given up on christianity. i still believe wat i said in this video. but the thing is because i was judged so cruelly by "christians" i a) grew to love my bf even more b) saw the truth. it says it in the bible do not judge and u will not be judged. i am tired of being judged for my views & beliefs & though they may b viewed as rong no one has a right 2 judge. whoever is God or pretty whoever is the creater is the only judge ill listen 2
The bible says that we should and we should'nt judge. What makes judging right or wrong depends on the spirit, motive and attitude in which judging is being done.When people hear the word udge or judgment bad things usually come to mind, but often, good things come out of judgment. A judge rewards a person who has done the right thing. So we definitely should judge all things movies, books, music, and behavior of people
I dont why people would get mad at your comment...as Christians we should sharpen one another to get to a fuller understanding of the truth and we have to use discernment. Ultimately your faith should depend on God not on on other "Christians".Cruelty judging is not Christian like. Just because someone says their Christian doesn't really mean they are. If you think about it everything we have an opinion...we are judging...even saying do not judge...is judging.
Hi Sister in Christ, I'll try to keep this short. I agree that as Christians we should associate ourselves w/ non believers however being yoked w/ a non-believer is a different story. Jesus did the right thing by loving and mixing with sinners and tax collectors for the purpose of converting them. But he did not yoke, or live with the same people if they did not believe. As Christians we should be wary of our thoughts 1 Thess. 5:21 says.. "Test everything. Hold on to the good."
uhm look. i gave up on religion. i still believe though wat i spoke in that video. if u dont like my verbalization of how i feel, fine by me. its ur loss. im sure u though have heard "WWJD"? well think about it. the term christian meens "little christ" and if u were a real christian u wouldnt act that way. its ppl like u & the ppl i went 2 skool with that give christians a bad name. self righteous, judgemental, hypocritcal pricks. btw if those words r beyond ur knowledge go find a dictionary.
jesus did say "go forth and make disciples." dipshit... & by you telling me how im talking bull shit is really showing you dont know what christianity is about. that or it only shows your immaturity. a man asked jesus, what is the greatest commandment and jesus replied the first is, love the lord ur god with all ur heart soul and mind. the second is like it. love ur NEIGHBOR as urself
neighbor (as jesus said b4) is any and every one. ur neighbor is the hooker on the corner, the ppl u hate & love
im from the US we spell it without the u... like we spell colour color.... and i care because it pisses me off when people claim to b somthing they rnt. and i never said i loved u. i said im not a christian.
u rnt living up to be wat u claim 2 be. im not saying be perfect. i dont personally believe in it. and i use excerpts from the bible because like in any argument/debate a person can quote a book and the bible is a book. i also quote bekuz if u r such a christian u should b striving to live out wat u preach. btw id take ur own advice about doing something constructive,
Uhm it's not a steryotype. its wat the bible preaches. and wat CHRIST teaches. christians as i think i said before means, "little christ" those who are christians r ment 2 model themselves after christ... and u havent proven anything except that my beliefs and views of judgmental hypocritical and self righteous christians are entirely true. (btw i never said im always rite? plz tell me wer u got that idea)
im 15 in 3 days. how old r u? and i must ask how do u interpret the bible? and if u dont wanna b a christian then y claim something u dont want 2 b? christianity is a choice. if u dont believe theres a god then obviously u rnt a christian. its ur choice. i chose 2 b one wen i was 8 or 9. then this year i decided i didnt want it. no one gave me the idea. and im giving my opinion as u r as well. i never said either of us was and is rite. (and i rite w/ abbreviations so i have room 2 type)
yes he and i r still 2gether... and no im pretty sure u were going on about how much shit i was saying and somewer in john it said dont judge except 4 fuk ups like u...
Well at least i think I am a Christian? My parents made me one, you know baptising all that, so even if i say im not one, aren't i really still Christian? Yes I swore too, and since you used to be Christian could u answer that question?
i absolutely agree with you. my boyfriend is a non-christian as well, and, even though it is hard to maintain my strong faith while not being with one who has one, i feel that God's light in my life is ALL the strength i need to share the Lord's love. we should not be judgemental-we should be compassionate and understanding. it would be contradictory to doubt someone's coming to Christ when everyone has Him inside of them-its whether or not they accept him. we should encourage, not condemn
I approve and disapprove.
I approve because yes you should bring your partner to CHRIST.
I disapprove because if you have told them about CHRIST then I say dump him or her depending on if you are a guy or girl. I am not judging you, I believe you have very good intentions. But by you marring an athiest you will be marring darkness. When I say that I mean not to judge but to show you all love in JESUS name.

What you believe doesn't matter, all that matters is that we obey God and do his will.
If God wants to use you to help someone else for his glory, then it is ok.

you probably dont need 20 bucks very much so if you couldnt gettin after strugglin with me for a while you just give up and walk away. you would feel better because you weren't having to strain yourself anymore. i believe it's the same with God for you. i don't know if you've got that video i sent you so i will post it on here as well.
Bless
supablack2000 2 years ago
exactly, im not going 2 strain myself. no y? bkuz im sik of always being the one putting forth effort and not getting any in response. another reason i gave up on religion...
lonelyone3090 2 years ago
its not because He just sadistic and loves to watch suffering! He's not sitting up in heaven mocking all the people crying out to Him.
its not because He wants to see whether or not they are serious about wanting Him because He knows what is truly in their hearts.
He does it because He wants to show them their own heart. If i held 100 bucks in my hand and said "its yours" you would try to take it. but if i gripped it tight you would have to put more energy into taking it from me.

the bible is jam-packed with people who needed God to show up for them and continually cried out to Him but He hung back. check out the psalms dude! you wrote on your wall that you like poetry. in parts the psalms are just poem after poem of David basically saying "come on God you said you'd always be there for me!! you said you'd help me! let's see it then!" God often tests people in the bible in this way. He withholds Himself from them and listens to them as they cry out to Him. why?
supablack2000 2 years ago
actually i no about the psalms. i no about job. but i also no how the bible says god is a loving god but at the same time he is a walking contradiction. he is a very angry god. like really he wants this world 2 b destroyed at some points.
lonelyone3090 2 years ago
you should keep your dislike of self-righteousness! God LOVES that about you! However as Christians we aren't supposed to become more like other Christians but more like Jesus! He's the real example. The Holy Spirit helps us to do that and we need to read the bible, the word of God to know how we should be. people aren't perfect and God knows that and now so do you. that why God wants to make us more like His Son instead because He's perfect. i'm not excusing their behaviour, just explaining it
supablack2000 2 years ago
how can u say that something is perfect wen we r imperfect and do not really no wat perfection is? i honestly, its not just the ppl, its also the religion. wen i looked into i found imperfections and hypocricy and contradictions: another reason i dont believe it.
lonelyone3090 2 years ago
When i watched your video and read some of the comments i wasnt going to get involved because i just thought "man i see more hate on the christian videos on youtube than anywhere else! i dont want to get involved"
BUT i really felt God's heart for you and i couldnt just walk away from it because there is something you need to know. I think the fact that you saw that the christians were self-righteous and judgemental is GOOD!! Christians shouldnt be that way. Our job is sharing God's heart!!
supablack2000 2 years ago
But there's one more thing...
Picture two people, one on a chair and one on the ground. They are having a tug-of-war. Who is gona win? The person on the ground of course because it's much easier to pull someone down than it is to pull someone up! It seems like your bf's atheism was stronger than your faith. That's not me tryna judge that's just how it is. And that's why God doesn't want us dating non-Christians. There is a video I'd like to show you that will help explain everything I've said..
supablack2000 2 years ago
it wasnt my bfs religion that effected me... tbe ppl on the floor were the self righteous judgmental hypocritcal assholes i delt with daily.

4. God is still waiting for you to come back to Him because He loves you like you wouldn't believe!! His hands are constantly outstretched to you but He doesn't want you to go back to the way things were before. He wants a real, deep and meaningful relationship with you.
5. God loves your Atheist boyfriend and wants Him to know Him and the life that He gives!! : D
6. You can't actually stop being a Christian. Once Christ is in you, you can't kick Him out!! : )
Wow I've really written a lot!

4) if god wanted me so badly he wouldve cared about his ppl who made my life miserable & pushed me 2 near suicide. there was a time wen i pushed so much 2 have him bak & 2 stay faithful 2 him but i got 2 the point wer i gave up praying & wat not. after that things got better. i wasnt relying on someone who was only disappointing me
5) idk if god does or doesnt
6) idk if thats true or not there r times wen i feel connected still, then i say no & him him away again so i dont get disappointed again
lonelyone3090 2 years ago
People who have been drawn away from God by other things and then find themselves unable to get back to Him. I want to tell you a few things and ask you a few things so I guess if you've read this far you will answer me.
1. Jesus died for you not just to give you the label of "Christian" but to give life in ALL it's fullness John10:10.
2. Your screen name worries me because no-one who knows God can be lonely.
3. Would you really let the way other Christians have been rob you of eternal life?
supablack2000 2 years ago
1) i no jesus died for everyone but how do we even no who he was. there was a book ritten about him saying, he was 1 or 3 things: liar, crazy man, or who he said he was. idk and cant answer u that
2) a sn is a sn
3) they showed me wat i didnt wanna become so i gave up on being that. i belive wat i believe and if u want that all ritten out send me a message kuz those things r better 2 rite looong messages out than on here

Special fact for ya, i loved this when i heard it. There is more non-biased evidence for the existence of Jesus than there is for Julius Caeser and Alexander the Great!! So it's not just the bible that talks about Him. With regards to who He was that's where faith comes in because the logic of the world says it doesn't make sense which for me is why it's so amazing! : )
God wants you so badly that He sent me after you! Who am i? i'm just a guy who loves and knows Jesus and loves His family!
supablack2000 2 years ago
i no jesus existed, i just dont no if he was who he claimed 2 b. ask a jew; theyll respond a good little boy who carried on the family business.

He helped me get through the pain and showed me what I had done wrong. I was right in recognising that she needed to be closer to God but the way I went about it was totally wrong. She needed a friend who would help and encourage her to see God for who He really is and not get between her and God. I apologised both to her and to God for what I did and I'm still praying that she will turn a corner and quit the prodigal son act. I've heard your story so many times and it breaks my heart!!
supablack2000 2 years ago
When I was your age (i'm 20 now) I went out with a girl i thought was a weak Christian but it turned out she probably wasn't actually Christian although she said she was and she went to church and everything). I thought I could lead her to the Lord myself and everything would be great. Nuh-uh. She wanted to be part of the world more than she wanted to live for Jesus. It ended horribly and was very painful me but thank God my desire for Him was stronger than my desire for her.
supablack2000 2 years ago
Simple as that and Jesus set us that example. However Jesus also said that no-one comes to know Him (or becomes a Christian) unless He draws them. (John 6:44) This is why I would say that dating some and trying to bring them to Christ isn't particularly useful because it's not us that draws people in, God does it. Yes He uses us but we just confuse the situation as the other person's feelings are directed at us, not God. I wouldn't dare lecture you without experience myself so I will share too.
supablack2000 2 years ago
Hey so I actually read through ALL the above comments!! Sounds like you've been getting a mixture of hate and love from Christians and non-Christians alike!! yikes!
Now I won't pretend I have any special authority to speak into your life but I couldn't say nothing and I know that from reading the above you will take whatever you like from what I say so here goes.
First and foremost totally agree that its stupid not to associate with non-Christians otherwise people just don't get saved.
supablack2000 2 years ago
Just one last thing, the reason why we should not yoke w/ a non believer is that a couple who doesn't share a Godly foundation will clash and experience conflict. like the oxen pulling in different directions,God is to be at the center of a Christian Deep inside you will always have the desire for your boyfriend to share your faith and no matter how much of an influence you can be
jposhome 3 years ago
ultimately only God can change his heart and vise versahis worldly views will influence you and tempt you to do unchristian acts which can lead away from the relationship you have w/ God. See. 2 Corinthians 6:14- Relationships based on a common faith is for our benefit, blessing and protection. God wants what is absolutely best for you.

So in order not to practice the bad kind of judging, we must understand the two types of judging. These comments boxes are short! God Bless.
jposhome 3 years ago
I forgot to add bible verses backing up righteous judging. John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Look at Matthew 7:1 If we look at the whole text we can see that this is not a call not to judge, but a call to be careful and judge rightly. To first look at ourselves and then once we have examined our own sin, then we will be able to see clearly to look at the sin of our brother. also see 1 Corinthians 2:15-16 NIV

ppl will most likely get mad about this comment, but i have given up on christianity. i still believe wat i said in this video. but the thing is because i was judged so cruelly by "christians" i a) grew to love my bf even more b) saw the truth. it says it in the bible do not judge and u will not be judged. i am tired of being judged for my views & beliefs & though they may b viewed as rong no one has a right 2 judge. whoever is God or pretty whoever is the creater is the only judge ill listen 2
lonelyone3090 3 years ago
The bible says that we should and we should'nt judge. What makes judging right or wrong depends on the spirit, motive and attitude in which judging is being done.When people hear the word udge or judgment bad things usually come to mind, but often, good things come out of judgment. A judge rewards a person who has done the right thing. So we definitely should judge all things movies, books, music, and behavior of people
jposhome 3 years ago
I dont why people would get mad at your comment...as Christians we should sharpen one another to get to a fuller understanding of the truth and we have to use discernment. Ultimately your faith should depend on God not on on other "Christians".Cruelty judging is not Christian like. Just because someone says their Christian doesn't really mean they are. If you think about it everything we have an opinion...we are judging...even saying do not judge...is judging.
jposhome 3 years ago
Hi Sister in Christ, I'll try to keep this short. I agree that as Christians we should associate ourselves w/ non believers however being yoked w/ a non-believer is a different story. Jesus did the right thing by loving and mixing with sinners and tax collectors for the purpose of converting them. But he did not yoke, or live with the same people if they did not believe. As Christians we should be wary of our thoughts 1 Thess. 5:21 says.. "Test everything. Hold on to the good."

jesus did say "go forth and make disciples." dipshit... & by you telling me how im talking bull shit is really showing you dont know what christianity is about. that or it only shows your immaturity. a man asked jesus, what is the greatest commandment and jesus replied the first is, love the lord ur god with all ur heart soul and mind. the second is like it. love ur NEIGHBOR as urself
neighbor (as jesus said b4) is any and every one. ur neighbor is the hooker on the corner, the ppl u hate & love

VooDooCSS 2 years ago
i absolutely agree with you. my boyfriend is a non-christian as well, and, even though it is hard to maintain my strong faith while not being with one who has one, i feel that God's light in my life is ALL the strength i need to share the Lord's love. we should not be judgemental-we should be compassionate and understanding. it would be contradictory to doubt someone's coming to Christ when everyone has Him inside of them-its whether or not they accept him. we should encourage, not condemn
