Religion difference

[trust_faith]

I am very sad. Just broke up with my bf. cos he is buddhist and I am a christian. He and his mum wans me to convert. But never will I convert. I brought him to church once. I am very happy when he sits beside me in church and listen to what the preacher preaches... But He doesn't wan to believe in God. cos his whole family is a buddhist.

I prayed for him. Hope that one day he will come closer to God. Hope I have done the right thing... I know that difference in religion cannot be together. cos is unequally yoked...

tell me did I do correctly. I need some support from christian friends.. Thanks..

Good for you! I know it's tough at time fighting the good fight,but you did the right thing by standing firm in what you belived... My mother was a buddhist, and now she is a beliver so there is hope if he truly seeks the "Truth"

you did the right thing...

God have his reasons for wanting us to have christian partners... I've heard of problems like teaching children... where the mother teaches one thing and then the father teaches something else... both parents fight over who's correct... the poor kid takes all the guilt...

it is a good thing you broke up with him before the relationship got any deeper... while I have not have a B/F before... I have in the past befriended some buddhist, thinking I will convert them... I befriended them alright, and we became really close friends... I cared for them a LOT... and several times I tried to introduce Christianity to them... they turned around and hurt me severely... they started treating me badly... it got to the point that it was hurting so much my health was at stake, and I have no choice but to withdraw away... I still care about them, but they hate me because I'm a christian...

I'm not saying that your B/F will turn around and hurt you... but... it is God's will that we have christian partners, and he have his reasons

Thanks a lot to chilibowl and endearing. yeah. It is indeed a hard time for me now. cos I break up is all because of religion. I hope God will guide me tru the hard times. Should not have started in the first place.
to Endearing. Hope that you will get a christian bf. Must get a christian one. Dun walk back the same path as me. It is very difficult to ask buddhist to convert or ask them to know more about God. I duno why they choose to believe their Buddha. I really cant see why. Hope that they will see God's greatness one fine day..

can relate here.was in a relationship with an atheist,never seemed to be clear as to our future together.what made us fall in love were things that soon subsided once the novelty wore off. i had nothing to base anything on,she simply was not on the same level or course in life.i ended it with sad feelings and knew we'd both question why we could love but not live together.love is really peace.and when the peace was not in tact anymore,the fighting began.you're going to be okay.

yeah. agree.. love is peace. when Peace is not intact anymore, fighting and quarrels will begin. Thanks so much... still sad, But Thanks so much for all your encouragment..
