• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What does the Bible say about telling your brother or sister in Christ that the person they are dating is not Christian?

I have a brother in law who seems to have rushed into a new relationship thinking that his new girlfriend is Christian when her social media accounts speak differently. When she came over she did not pray with us and kept her eyes open. On social media she follows sexually charged accounts, Wiccan accounts, LGBT accounts, and spirituality accounts that have to do with rock healings. I do not want to judge her based on this but the evidence seems to point to her not being a believer (especially the Wiccan accounts). She also claims to be a Wiccan in one of her accounts. I would like to bring it up to my brother in law but I am not sure how to approach the subject. He has not dated in a few years and It seems like they have not discussed important topics such as past sexual partners or dating life, political views, views on Christianity, shared testimonies, etc. I am looking for verses in the Bible to help me because I know that is how God speaks to us. Can anyone help?

Mentioning that there is evidence of her being interested in Wicca and some of that other stuff seems strong enough for a start.

I wouldn't immediately make too much out of keeping her eyes open during a prayer or say whatever you do as though you know for sure what makes her tick.

I suspect he is aware that the person he is dating is not Christian.

Just present the evidence and remind your brother in law what the bible says about being unequally yoked with unbelievers. At this point you will have done your job and fulfilled your obligation and then it will be up to your brother in law to ask his girl friend questions to ascertain the truth.
