Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oh yeah, and of course pray. Ask God to help you make the right descisions when it comes to your boyfriend, and to not let him tear away at your faith. The power of prayer is extrordinary.

I'm beginning to believe it's bad to date non Christians unless you are really strong in your faith. Not that I'm not, but I broke up with m boyfriend because I didn't feel he cared about me unless he thought he was going to get some.... Things... Maybe it was because I didn't feel he could love and connect with me on a spiritual level, but it wasn't a very loving relationship...

I Think I'll Respond Like This

BORING!

*Am I upsetting you?*

Any ways...

Micah

oh, I think we shouldn't date in general. Song of solomon arrow Don't awake desires of love
?Somewhere(Ill come back.)? arrow Do not the pagans give good gifts, how much more will God want to give good gifts(Thats not how it goes...(Ill come back to that one too))


Marrage is long term, so unless you date someone for a really long time, you never know.

If God has a Wife or Husband Pick out for you, won't he show you?
No one needs to go looking for their Wife or Husband if God will show him or her to you.

Again

Micah

I don't see why you can't date him, he sounds like a nice guy. As far as "witnessing" goes or trying to preach to him I'd leave that out. You're actually not supposed to "witness" if you're not considered an apostle according to the Bible. That's why Jehovah's Witnesses ("Jehovah" itself being an extremely incorrect pronunciation of "Yahve") aren't actually following what the Bible tells them.

Let's see, one of the other trends I've seen in this thread is the whole "don't date unless you intend to marry" idea. That's a personal choice, but you're limiting yourself greatly as far as options. You have to weigh the pros and cons. If you date, you WILL get your heart broken at least once. However, you'll get a much much better idea of what type of relationship styles you work best with. There are so many different styles that people have when it comes to communication with their significant others that I'd suggest dating around first to give yourself a better idea of how you function in relationships as well. I'm not saying you need to give it up, not at all, but dating is perfectly fine. Dating doesn't equal lust and romance and "Song of Solomon" stuff.

F!!!

i am agreeing wiwth the people saying dont date a non Christian. Pray to God for guidance. also a Christian boyfrined could help encourage you to have a stonger relationship and faith with God

And your problem is?

Honestly, relationships between Christians and non-christians work out. Look at my parents. Married for 20 years...most people don't make it that far. My sister and I turned out Christian. In fact, I think it strengthened our faith because going to church wasn't a chore. We could stay home if we wanted to, but we chose to go.
