I Could Use Some Advice

Heres the deal.. my best guy friend is dating a girl who isnt a christian. I know we are to love her and minister to her since she is not a believer, but isnt it wrong for him to date her? He is a christian. I thought that God is supposed to be the foundation of all relationships. And doesnt the bible say that we are not to be yolked with non-beleivers?

Am I wrong to be so concerned about this?

You are correct, God does tell us in His Word not yolk with a non-believer. There is nothing wrong with your concern, however it is mostly between your best friend and God. If you feel you need to mention something about this to him then do it but don't harp and nag on it. Just discuss this once and leave it at that. If your friend is a Christian the Lord will convict him, trust that he will work in the heart of your friend and pray for him daily!

You know, maybe he has talked to her about this and you just don't know.

I agree with Singin', it is mostly between him and God. But there's nothing wrong with voicing your opinion if you go about it the right way. Just don't push him away if he's really your friend - you'll only push him closer to her and further from you.

Yes, it is bad to be unequally yoked. I was in a 5-year relationship with a non-believer and as a result he led me astray. Now I'm a single mother of two children, and where is the father? Probably getting drunk and smoking pot with his friends right now. Living it up. Of course the risks vary from person to person, gender to gender, and relationship to relationship, but if your friend stays with this girl he's most likely going to be dragged down into sin or have his heart broken in the worst of ways. Be his friend, be her friend, but make sure he knows what the Bible says. The closer he gets to her, the farther he gets from God.
