My boyfriend and I has been dating for 5 years now. The problem is that I am a believer of Jesus Christ and he is not. Our relationship as of right now is still really strong, and I feel like he is the one that God sent me to. I am a Christian all my life and just recently a reborn Christian, and has been serving Gods will for 3 years now. Everytime when I ask him if he would be a follower of Jesus and believe in him, he would always say that he is not sure, and will see what the future brings us and that he still has a lot of time to think about it. I just have to say that I believe in Jesus Christ and his words, but this man that I am with seems to be the right one. I really need your prayers and advices. I am not sure what to do with life at this point. I know that they always say if you believe in him, leave all your sins behind and whatever is sinful behind and God will give everything you need and want when you enter into his kingdom. I dont want to regret anything afterwards. I am so lost, confused, stressed and scared right now. Should I just let go of everything and be a follower of Jesus Christ??? Should I just run from everything and start a new life with Jesus Christ?? OR Should I just stick with what I have now and wait for what the future will bring?? Please help. Thank You and God Bless!!

break up with him.
we should be surrounded by people who will build us up in Christ, not tear us down. darkness and light have nothing to do with each other, stay away.
and also, it's always good to learn to NOT listen to your feelings. your feelings will change CONSTANTLY, the Word of God will never change. rely on God's Word and not your feelings.

It is possible My advice is prob though to leave him but if you really want to hang on i guess you got to wait and see what happends

while I agree that we should not be unequally yoked with nonbelievers, I do believe that you can plant a seed in your friend's heart. So pray about it. I would suggest not taking it further until he changes positively (aka gets saved), and even breaking up if he causes you to stumble

Sounds a bit rude to me. If you want to utter Gods Words then give a quote from the Bible to prove your point and don't just say that you're right because you feel like God approves or something. Remember that this is a discussion forum.
In my opinion you, cnb_543, should not just dump your boyfriend yet. You could try to get him thinking about what keeps him from making a desicion and perhaps help him forward. Don't let him get away with the "I have time"-argument, because he's obviously had a lot of time already. Make him think, decide and tell you about it. It should by this time be obvious to him that this issue is important to you and be able to act to keep your relationship developing and growing. You could make an ultimatum - either you leave or he takes your question seriously enough to make up an answer. Now if and when you've gotten something of a proper response out of him, you should think about your relationship again and see if it's worth trying.

sorry, I figured that most people realized where I was going when I said this. (cuz this issue's been beaten to death, when it doesn't need to be cuz the Bible's pretty clear-cut on it)it's the same verse that is always brought up when it comes to this issue.
2 Corinthians 6:14-15
Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?
sorry if it sounded rude, but I figured it was implied that I was talking about this verse.
and I say that I'll only speak as if speaking the utterences of God, because it's a commandment. (1 Pter 4:11) The idea of not dating unbelievers isn't just my opinion, so when I say not to, know that it's not me who's saying it, but God's Word.

Ok, I understand, and I also knew the spot you were talking about.
I just wanted to point out that the way you brought it up might sound quite arrogant to others, which I assume you already understood. So, no offences taken and everyone's friends with each other..?

The bible says never divorce. So, are most people going to hell for divorce? Should they always stay married to the same person?
The words of God is somthing no one will know, in my opinion.
divorcing for any reason except for unfaithfulness is a sin as God's Word directly commands us not too. so yes, you should always stay married to the same person unless your partner is unfaithful to you, then you have the right to divorce them. but even then, we aren't supposed to marry another person.
and just see if your skepticism over God's Word can bring your salvation. if you don't think you'll ever know God's Words then how can you think that you know the way to salvation?

The Bible is the word of the Lord. And once again, you make the incorrect assumption that because you sin you're going to hell. With Yeshua, no one goes to hell. Without him, you go to hell.
Simple as that. Unless of course, you don't believe that the Bible is the Word of the Lord. In which case, what's with the Eastern Orthodox icon?
Sola scriptura.

Not really. Imagine for a minute being a Christian and living with someone for your whole life, loving them more than yourself and the whole time believing they're destined for hell. Doesn't make for much of a life...
Plus it would be hard bringing up children with one Christian and one Atheist parent.

I think you should pray about it, you will know what to do then. But I would stay with him and just tell him how much it would mean to you if he became a follower of Christ. If he loves you, he will try to believe.
Good luck, and God bless.
