OK, discuss away.
Are you really willing to find the answers, though, or just here to argue?

Fallen, once you come to know the Lord, you will know true love, it's beyond our understanding. Please take heed the advice and encouragement you have received on this thread. We are in this together, and we want to see you saved.
God's arm is not too short to save. He knows your heart, sees how much you love your friends, but imagine that love multiplied over 1million times? Towards Jesus. And your friends will then see the change in you, and ask questions, which you will be able to give answers for.
Please, become quiet before the Lord, let Him in to your heart, and He will show you things you never could have imagined.
He loves you, and is waiting for you.

Yes, it does.
Been there!!
The thing is, satan will do everything in his power to distract you from actually coming to God. He'd like nothing better than to keep you arguing round in circles untikl it's too late!
But God's love is more powerful!
Keep coming to Him, you will get through the "wall".
It's just a case of telling God you want to, but you can't.
Someone in the bible said to Jesus "I believe, help my unbelief"
Does that sound like wfere you are?

Ouch.
That's a hard place to be - I remember it well!
But you are exploring what you think, which is good.
Only - it will never get much clearer without help from the Holy Spirit.
Deep down, you know He's there.
So some time, you are going to have to take that leap of faith!
Ask Him to show you what your life is really like without Him. (This will not be pleasant!) BUT - he really does love you, and want to give you abundant life.
Some questions you will never know the answer to until you get to heaven - maybe not even then.
BUT He will give you peace and joy.
And knowing Him, spending time with Him, growing to know Him more, is the most satisfying, exciting, awesome thing you can do with your life.
Believe me, I've been where you are - and it hurt.
Where I am now hurts too, when I see people rejecting all he has for them.
But He is just, ...
I don't know, there aren't words.
Sorry, rambling again.
Please - keep searching.
I will keep praying!

Explain?
I don't blame you for feeling that taking a leap of faith is dangerous though. Though I can say this leap of faith won't kill you.

Maybe this person has come into your life for a reason. I would even say that God has plans for you and has put her into your life at this particular point in time. Being that she is a Christian and you are not, I know it seems like you will have to make a choice sooner or later, but try not to stress out over it so much right now. If she really likes you and you like her, then I would continue the relationship and just see where things go from there. Beth

fallen,
think of it like this...
Your girlfriend wears her seat belt whenever she is in the car. She wants you to wear yours as well. You know that it is safer to wear a seatbelt, and you want to please your girlfriend.
But you have lots of family and friends who don't wear seatbelts, think they are unnecessary. You also have family and friends who have died in car accidents...what if they could have lived if they had been wearing seatbelts?
The point is that after death, all that matters is YOU. If you rejected Christ and went to hell, you would not be partying with your dear friends. You would live in misery, wishing you had a chance to live again to spare those you love from the same thing. If you did accept Christ, you would live in such wonderous joy, with no sadness, fellowshipping with those who also love the Lord.
I believe that God gives all people a chance, even unto the time of their death. But what I am trying to tell you most of all, is that you should accept Christ because you believe and want forgiveness. Not for a girlfriend, not for family, not for social status,not for fear of hell, not for anything except that you know in your own soul that you have messed up and disobeyed what God wants us to do.
If you did accept Christ, I guarantee that with your compassionate spirit and love of those around you, you will make one great evangelist.

So you would rather go with them instead of going to heaven?
Remember we don't know the intents of our friends heart, you never know they could have accepted before they die on their death bed.If you go to heaven you want even remember this life on earth, you won't remember anyone that is in hell.
Do you know that hell is a very real quick a place where the fire never quenches and the worms never stop eating on the flesh.That once you are there, you are there foever there is only one way in and no way out. The path way to it is pathed off good deeds and good intentions?
