I have a good friend of mine who has had quite the troubled life and to top it off shes been practicing a religion that I only just discovered is a blatant straight forward heresy against Christianity yet she still considers herself Christian
as Christians we should know that we have no place judging others or to try and force others to our own beliefs but I care a great deal for this person and I fear for their soul

I am very conflicted about this mostly because I truly believe we all have a right to pick and choose our religion but her church is hostile her family cruel to her all in the name of this religion
I have been trying to solve this turmoil in my heart for a while and I am just getting sick to my stomach. I worry for her and I hurt on the inside just thinking about it all
I have tried to talk to her about it but she just got offended and left....I did not want to cause her distress anger her. only to reach out to help.


now I will not speak the name of this religion for I not want this to become just a raging against that religion please do not ask what it is or who it is

My prayers are with you, brother. That God will not only lead you, but also speak to you in these matters. Be it through dreams or signs. However He will. I pray for your friend, for opened eyes to the dangers she may have put herself in. I pray for a softened heart for her, to see the care you show for her and realize that you are not trying to offend her but help. I pray for an open heart for her to not only see the helping hand, but to accept it. I pray for the members of her church, that they would find the true path to redemption, and softened hearts that they would not attack members, or those that are not. Be it emotionally or physically. I pray for the members of her family, that they would have softened hearts and open eyes to see the damage they cause others; especially your friend. I pray for them to hear the way they talk, and see the way they act. I pray that they would strive to be better people, be it morally or even socially. I pray God's healing hand over this whole situation. God Bless, friend smile

I shall pray. Remember this too shall pass. Only the Lord our God can turn her heart. May she return to his loving arms, and she may find a pillar in this time to latch on to. God bless you and her.
