Christians...
- I just wanted to know that if you read the bible can you really find all the answers to your questions. I've heard that you can...and I just wanted to know if it was worth your time...
- And idk, I want to become a better person. Always have wanted too. And I have a bf and we just started dating and like the more I think about it, its not the kind of relationship I want right now b/c something is going to happen b/c theres that attraction there...and we're young and stupid, what do I do?

God loves you no matter what you do but even though thats the case you sitll needa try to do what he wants you to do. And having sex before marriage i can tell you isnt what he wants. If you want i know exactly where that is in the bible.. its Proverbs 7. Its using a woman as an example but just switch it around. I can see you want to be a christian and its hard for me to help you over the computer but you just need to find a good church that you feel comfortable in and learn. And this is how it works going to church and being a good person arent what gets you to heaven. What gets you to heaven is excepting that Jesus Christ died for you! But along with becomming a christian is wanting to do all these things for God. But thats not what makes you a christian. And God doesnt look at the things you do until you except him as your Lord and Savior! Please just pray and let God speak to you..

It is a very interesting book filled with many good stories, however dont take it literally. People who take every little word in the bible literally tend to get carried away. Just read little bits and pieces of it let yourself absorb the material. Who knows you might find that the bible just is not for you and you may want to go on a hunt for spiritual knowledge. I would talk to your boyfriend about all of this. Relationships are built on trust and understanding. If he cant understand you then he is not for you. I hope I have helped.

LifeEqualsCheese answered Wednesday January 12 2005, 11:43 pm: I think it's really good that you want to be a better person. If you don't think it's the relationship you want or need, break up with him. You know yourself and what your comfortable with.

-You have to go with your gut feeling. If you're not thinking it's right then just go with it. Think things over and make the choice that you think will be better for you in the long run. So basically, just go with your intuition. [ tessa1490's advice column | Ask tessa1490 A Question ]
FunnyCide answered Wednesday January 12 2005, 11:17 pm: Ok, it's true, God has given us the answers to all of our questions in the Bible. Ok, well, not the answers to tomorrows math test, but the answers about life, about love, about living for Him. I would suggest getting into God's word every day, more than once if possible, and meditate on what God would want you to do.
About your boyfriend situation. Ok, is he a Christian? It's never wise to date someone who's not a Christian.. but, like you said, it there's attraction there, and you don't want anything to happen, and you're young and stupid, I would but it off. Just let him down easily and tell him that right now, you can't be in a relationship of this sort. It's good that you want to be a better person, but really the only way to do that is to be madly in love with God. If that happens, you will want to know every thing that you can about God, and you will feel so much better when you are spending time in the Word, listening and talking to God, you'll feel awesome. Pray often, about everything. Talk to God about the way that you feel about this boy that you're dating, about being a better person, about your questions that you hinted at. God will place verses on your heart for you to read and get something out of. Remember not to always talk, the Bible tells us that we should read Gods Word, pray, and be still and listen for the voice of God. (not really in an audible voice, but in your head, you hear the voice of God speaking to you, or the Holy Spirit) Pray about all things, find some really great Christian friens to hang out with, if possible, get a mentor who will help you grow in the Spirit and in the Word. If you're just now starting to read the Bible every day, I wouldn't suggest starting in a book like Revelation or Daniel. Those books are awesome, filled with prophecy and amazing things, but not good for a young and unexperienced Christian who just needs encouragement right now. I would suggest starting with Psalms or Proverbs. Even Ecclesiastes would be good. Or one of the Gosples too. God bless.
