Good question!\n\nApostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians7:14-18, "Do not be yoked with nonbelievers." If God is speaking to you, telling you that this boy is not a Christian, then you should listen to Him, pray about it, and see what God leads you to do. In my opinion, if he was practicing witchcraft... then within 4 days-a month he probably did not accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Yes, DO ask him these questions, to his face-- have a sit-down talk. Is he attending church? Does he profess that Christ is his Savior who died for all his sins? If so, then he is a Christian and you should help him grow by having a Christ-centered relationship with him. Christian dating is focused on marriage. And marriage, the Bible says, must be with a believer. If it turns out that he is not a Christian, and you still feel like you should stay together, then ask God to help you help your boyfriend seek Christ in his life. Take him to bible studies and retreats and church. Let God do the rest. If you feel like your boyfriend is not a Christian, and has no desire to truly discover Jesus and eventually accept Him into his heart, then I say you should break up with this boy. He will not be good for your own spiritual walk, and he might even pull you down to his level. Make sure he doesn't "falsely" accept Christ just to make you feel better. Christ is not a dating instrument-- He is our Savior and Lord who died on the cross for us.\n\nPraise God for this strength that you have for seeking His heart! I wish you the best of luck through this, and pray that you'll find the man of God who will lead you spiritually in love and encouragement-- that is also the man of your dreams!

your problem is not unusual.  luckily, you are smart enough to realize your own confusion...some people will go their whole life "half-believing" in god.  One thing i noticed that you need to realize, if you don't already, is the most important thing to god is your "personal relationship with god."  don't let the whole morals and rules business confuse you until you are at that point.  christianity is not a religion, it is a relationship.  god wants you to experience love and fulfillment in life and he says you can only experience this through that "personal relationship with god."\n\ngod loves you and he is someone to talk to.  he doesn't respond verbally in most cases, but you can find his responses in your everyday life.\n\ni'll tell ya...i love talking to people about this kind of thing.  its my favorite thing in the world, and people tell me i'm a good listener.  so if you're serious about this wanting to get out of a spiritual rut business and you have the slightest interest in talking to me:  email me at e-address@sbcglobal.net and i'll try and set up some means to talk to you.\n\nif not, i'll still pray for your spiritual push-outta-a-rut.

what i would do is just ask jake if he considers you and him as a couple, girlfriend/boyfriend,, then see what he says, dont be afraid to ask him this and then show your feelings to jake, good or bad,  best thing is to just bring it into the open, thats what relationships are, trust,love

You should Ask him directly. That's something to keep the trust on each other. You must trust him and he must trust you.

If you believe in him, then there is not problem. You never have to go to church or even pray, as long as he knows you believe in him and love him, then your safe. Don't worry. I don't go to church either. So if i'm full of BS then we will be chillin together. lol

It seems to me that you have already made God your first priority, but as far as being able to go to church or not..... you pray at home, you read the bible 3 times a week, he is constantly in your mind and heart (otherwise you wouldn't be so worried as to post this question) - You are in the middle of a very hard time in your life when you are trying to further yourself through schooling, and in order to be able to do that as well as pay bills you also have to work.  You cannot help that it includes Sundays.  To have yourself - OR ANYONE ELSE - beat you up over whether or not you pray at home or in some brick building that is down the street - just because we call it a church - doesn't mean a thing.  The main thing is that you are holding him in your heart.\nAs far as your boyfriend is concerned.  Consider things carefully.  Don't just drop him unless you are sure.  It is true, differences in beliefs can be a big issue in some relationships - it can also be a small one.  It is all of what you make it.  If this is an extremely important thing for you, and you two are serious - then sit down and have a discussion.  Would he want to go to church with you later on down the road?  Would he care if it was a church wedding?  If you had children, would he have difficulties with the kids being brought up in the church?  You could also ask him why he isn't very set on a certain belief - is it because he is confused about it?  Is it just that he has beliefs but is against organized religion?  Perhaps he does have beliefs and is spiritual, but he just chooses not to go to church to exercise his beliefs.  My father was the same.  He hated organized religion, but did believe in a higher power.  My brother and sister-in-law both thought he was athiest, and she even at one point stated he would go to hell because of that.  I got over my initial shock and then laughed in her face.  You can choose to believe that God is an avenging sort of being - all about rules and regulations, OR you can choose to believe that God loves everyone.  That we are here to learn certain lessons and it doesn't matter if you are perfect or not.  That is your choice to make.

me and i'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy you made the decision. to love and trust him.  now, if you haven't, why don't you take that extra step and believe your a sinner, he died on the cross for you and he rose again, then descended into heaven and now sits on the right hand of his father, God, and someday he will come again! then you will be saved and can go to heaven!

Your missionary friend may indeed be gay, was interested in you and sent you provocative signals. He also knows your church's position on same sex relationships. Perhaps he is having feelings of guilt and is running away. On the other hand he may well want you to make the next move, considering that he says he wants you remain his friend. \n\nI would suggest you cool the relationship. No phone calls. Remain civil and polite but distant. If he is really interested in you he should make his feelings known.  If he has no feelings for you he will keep his distance and you will know where you stand. \n\nIf he is no longer interested in you, don't be upset over his rejection. Move on, get over it, there are lots of good fish in the sea.

First, GOOD FOR YOU that you have decided to become a Christian! THat's wonderful! I know it is difficult, but yes, your religion will have an effect on your relationship. The opposite also holds true-- your relationship will have an effect on your religion. It sounds as if you really love your boyfriend. If I were in your situation, I would pray and sit him down. Explain to him how you feel and how important this is to you to raise your children this way. Your faith may prove to be a turning point for him. Your faith will mean that there will be things you should no longer do (such as premarital sex, etc). IS he willing to stand by you? You have to communicate with him. If he really loves you, it will be difficult, but he will respect your faith, even if he does not "buy into it" at this time. You also have to be prepared that he may not understand and may try to talk you out of it. Be strong and stay prayerful. Pray for him as well, that he may also find the Lord. Even if you break up, continue to lift him up in prayer. Pray for the strength to be true to your faith. I wish you the best of luck. I know it is a difficult path you are about to embark on. Be strong. God will not forsake you and you may lead your boyfriend to the Kingdom as well!!!

do you go to church with him? \n\njust keep dating him, you'll eventually have deeper conversations and you'll learn as to where he stands with many issues and by living his life you'll see how important his values/convictions are. you'll know, trust me. you need a man that pushes you to grow. don't worry if he's not for you.\n\nand keep asking God, if he's not for you God will pull a string and you may break up, or God might even tell you himself who you should be with.

Your relationship with God is personal just like his is. Your actions might win him over just give it time and keep the communication between you open and honest.

I will pray for you both.  Even if the answer is not what you want, though, remember that He knows what's best for us better than we do ourselves.  Trust in Him to take care of you.

Faith sweetie. Faith, read His word. Once you start to understand, and believe that God gave His ONLY son so that we would be saved...then look around you, and also start to believe that everything you see that is bad that you are not apart of God has set you apart and keeping watch, but know that it is just by His grace that we saved. It is nothing that we have done to deserve His love, because we have all sinned, He simply loves us.
