Desperately need help.

[madonnachild]

Hello everyone!
Currently I am dating, and have been dating an agnostic girl for the past 7 years. I desperately need a book (Besides the bible) that would help me to understand our differences and how to deal with them without compromising either of our beliefs. Any title suggestions?
Thanks!

Are you a christian?

Hi madonnachild,

I'm sorry but....You cannot date her and/or marry her without compromising your beliefs. The Bible says

Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? - 2 Cor 6:14

By dating someone, you are considering them for a marriage prospect (or you should be, because otherwise there is no point in dating). The Bible clearly calls people to not be yoked to unbelievers, and when you are, it can cause great pain ( here is the unequally yoked CF http://www.christianforums.com/f239-unequally-yoked.html)

You don't need a book right now madonnachild - because you are compromising your beliefs by just dating this girl.

I hope you can come to realize this...and if you think by dating her it might "save" her eventually..this is not a good idea either. Missionary dating mostly ends in pain, because the person associates themslves being saved with your relationship, and if y'all were ever to break up, she might feel like God is giving up on her.

God Bless,

Steffani

Honestly Faithful servant is right, its not a good idea. But things don't always seem that simple when you're in it. It depends what the issues are and if she is agnostic or what she believes.

An agnostic believe's it's impossible to know if God exists or not. The thing about Christianity is that we know He does exist because Jesus came and was raised from the dead. If you are looking for books to talk to her about then I'd get a book on the resurection (sp?). Try looking on amazon... Who Moved The Stone is good, but there is a bit of dodgy theology at the end.

If you explained her issues with Christianity in more detail that would help us in recommending books. It may be useful to talk to a mature christian that you know well about this. As always pray and read the Bible and I'm sure God will speak to you about it

If we can be of more help just ask Hope it works out.
