It was reported you do not share the same politics.
Does that mean you agree or disagree on the free expression of religion?
Does that mean you agree or disagree on role of limited government?
Does that mean you agree or disagree on abortion?
Does that mean you agree or disagree on personal property rights?
Does this mean you agree or disagree on the influence any given minority (like LGBT+ should have over the majority?
These are each and all moral issues.
.
Yes, and I could cite scores of examples in history when liberals and secularists did worse (like the French Revolution). This is what's known as a "false-cause fallacy": Because some Christians did bad things previously all Christianity is evil. Would she agree with the statement, "
Because Communists have done horrible things all socialism is evil?"
False-cause arguments are not a particularly liberal position. It is an irrational position. You are marrying someone who thinks this way and then thinks it's okay to think that way.
And yet there were few atheists helping out in Louisiana after Katrina. The churches in my area are opening their doors as we speak to store food and clothing to be distributed in a socially distant manner (small groups) because the normal means of mass distribution are currently unviable. The churches in China and all around the globe are doing the same kinds of things to help those the government cannot or will not help.
I happen to have been a criminal in my past. Christ (not Christianity) turned me into a good person and there are scores of people here in this forum who will bear the same testimony. Forgive me for being blunt but your girlfriend's ideas are full of dross.
And I wonder what kind of influence
you have had on her if you've been dating three years and she still holds these misguided thoughts and ways of thinking.
Did you think you loved the other person at that time?
Good. Stay abstinent and see how that effects the relationship. If the relationship is good then it will withstand
and take some delight in the other aspects of the relationship. A relationship cannot be built on sex alone. Currently you don't share God, you don't share politics, you may not share morals, and you don't share sex.
See how that works out.
If it works then maybe you've got something to build upon. If not then now is the time to walk away. It'll hurt but not like divorce hurts.
Either way you will have learned something about love. You'll also have learned something about yourself.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
"Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away."
In his first epistle the apostle John stated "
God is love."
""God is patient, God is kind and is not jealous; God does not brag and is not arrogant, He does not act unbecomingly; he does not seek His own, He is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; God bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. God never fails...."
Is this the God you know? Your girlfriend does not know this God. This is the standard to which you (and I and everyone else here) have been called.
""Brenden is patient, Brenden is kind and is not jealous; Brenden does not brag and he s not arrogant, he does not act unbecomingly; he does not seek his own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; Brenden bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Brenden never fails..."
How are you doing with that standard, Brenden. We all fail. The Christian life is the pursuit of ideals like this humbly knowing we are imperfect and will not achieve these goals this side of the grave but with every breath you take until your last you will be pledging to love the woman you marry by these and other standards.
If you marry this woman then you're going to be doing the above with a woman who thinks Christianity is evil and turns good people in to conflict people. You're going to be trying to live by the above standard with a woman who will not read the Bible with you, pray with you, share faith with you, serve and give with you nor with the same motive if and where she does serve. You're going to have to do this while she resists having your children brought up in Christ.
Christianity is the hardest thing known to humanity. We cannot do it apart from God's own Spirit helping and she doesn't believe such a thing exists. Marriage is the second hardest thing known to humanity. Half of them fail. Painfully. It is challenging when two people from different alien species (males and females
) share a lot in common spiritually, politically, etc. The
difficulties are made worse when those similarities do not exist. Opposites do not attract in marriage.
Marriage takes a lifetime. A marriage isn't successful until one of you dies. With God's blessing that happens when you are old and gray
.
You two need to get some things squared away. My counsel to you is to not get married until that happens.
