Siren_Cytherea answered Friday July 1 2005, 11:56 pm: The belief that Jesus is god's "son" depends completely on the person's religion - it is, in fact, completely Christian (I think), and you can't change what people believe. Only other people can change that. If he wants to believe in Jesus, he can. If not, don't try to make him. Let him believe what he wants - it makes for some interesting debates.
(Seriously, my guy's athiest and I'm a mixture of four religions. It's fascinating to talk about.)
However, if religion is that important to you, maybe you shouldn't be persuing this guy. If he doesn't want to change his beliefs, there won't be much you can do to make him, unless he's willing to change the core of himself to be with you.
There is a way around it, though. Take advantage of the fact that you two have different beliefs. Make conversations out of it. Debate. Debates are fun. Both people can express and defend their opinions.
The "right track" for you might not necessarily be the right track for this guy. Let him believe what he wants, and take advantage of the differences in opinion. Let it make the relationship better.
I hope this helps!

I was looking back at my feedback and i had saw that you rated me a 1 with feedback so i went back and saw that i didn't even answer your question so i'm really confused. I'm guessing maybe one of my EVIL friends went on my site and messed around with some people. So if anything mean to you was said i'm truely sorry. I know this is probably a really old post but i wouldn't mind answering it anyhow.
If this boy doesn't believe in Jesus and you do then it's really not worth it. It seem like your very into your religion and doing good. It seems like he isn't. It's pretty hard to change a persons mind about such a thing like this. Your better off finding someone that feels and thinks the same way you do.
kitty_kat123 answered Friday July 1 2005, 6:39 pm: There are many different beliefs. Some people belive in Jesus and not God, like your friend. You can't "turn someone on the right track" if they don't want to believe what you believe because you believe differently and there's no reason for you to tell him differently. There are many different beliefs and cultures and just because YOU believe in something and you think it's right, he may not think that. He has an opinion and if he doesn't believe in God, that should be O.K because he doesn't think God is a real person, which should be fine with you. Just let him believe what he wants to. His opinion matters to him and you can't get him to think any differently. He's stuck on "God isn't real" and probably nothing you say can change that. I'm really sorry that there is nothing you can do to get him to believe in something. That's like TRYING to get a 19 year old to believe in Santa Clause. Hahaha. It's O.K. Don't get mad at him. There is one thing you can TRY! You can try talking to him and ask him WHY he doesn't think Jesus is God's son. Ask him WHY he thinks God is fake and not real. Tell him your beliefs and if he disagrees, just leave him alone. I, personally, believe in God but some people have other God's that they worship or whatever. He can think differently.

If he believes in Jesus but doesnt think he is his son then thats his point of view .Maybe you can tell him to read the Bible if you really want to help him.I hope that helped!
