Anyone have the same issue?

[emilyloohoo]

Hi all. I'm a 27 year old female that has recently become a Christian. Most of my friends are athiest's or agnostics. They are turning away from me and also the other away around. They feel that I judge them, but I do not, only God can judge. Anyways, does anyone else feel that our age group is surely lost these days? It seems like very few people my age are Christians, or have strong morals and values.

Please, oh please don't actively try to turn away from them. You are still more or less the same person yes? If so then they need to see that Christianity hasn't taken away the love you have for them only strengthened it.

It is impossible for somebody to be more or less the same person after becoming a Christian.

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17

Absolutely. They share no real core values with me. It's hard to relate on their level anymore, as I am no longer there with them. I don't want to leave them, but I feel like they are pulling me away from the right path.

Share truth with them until they forsake you. That is pretty much what happened to me. None of my old friends talk to me anymore, they did for a while but they have since stopped. Even my own brother doesn't seek to talk with me unless I approach him.

But the Lord has not left me. One of the first things He did after I was converted was that He brought me a solid church with true brethren.

This guy has a similar testimony.

And that is why so many people hate Christianity.
Congratulations, you sir are part of the problem...

We as Christians are suppose to spread the good word of the Lord. I can emphasize with Anihilus. But I do keep it to myself around people who I know that they will turn away from me.

Emily,

I am almost 27 too and couldn't agree more. So hard to find people our age that are Christians and that have good morals and values! Hang in there sister! You are not alone!

Don't shove Jesus in their faces, but be who you are. Love them and pray for them.

ThE above is good advise. I do the same with my non Christian friends of all ages from 20+ to 60,I'm 63 by the way.If your friends are going to draw you into doing worldly things,you can politely decline.Just tell them its against your religion.

You know Most young Adults are all lost I have a hard time with My family because no one believes in god besides me So going to church.. doing things.. for my church is hard because my family always pulls me away from it

I would never force anyone to go to church or bealive in god.. if they take that step of faith then thats amazing <3

I am the same age for another 2 weeks, I don't know that many people who are Christians and I know plenty of people that like to make jokes about God, mostly when I am around.

It gets very difficult.

I personally always want to speak the Love of God in almost every conversation I have. But that ends up pushing people away, because they're LITERALLY blinded by the god of this world.

It gets even more difficult when it comes to having a marriage partner in the future. Because you're suppose to only marry a person who is of the Body of Christ. Which is the way it should be, because if your husband/wife isn't a believer, they end up tearing you apart in the end...because you just can't leave the Truth no matter how hard you try.

I know I can't leave, even how ever much I fail...I keep going back and back , countless times.

Therefore, when communicating with non believers, you have a "limited time". You are suppose to Love them...but you can't be their "bf/gf/husband/wife" type of relationship. You can also be their friend...but beware of the types of activites you do with them.
