My friend is trying to change the things i believe in. He's jewish and i'm christian. I'm scared i won't get into heaven if i believe anything he does. i really dont know what i'm doing or getting myself into. He's one of my closest friends but it's almost like he's threatening to not be my friend anymore if i dont believe what he does.
what do i do?

♥He has no right to force his religion and beliefs on you. You just have to come right out and tell him that you have your own beliefs and he has his. People are different and follow different lifestyles. If he threatens to not be your friend anymore because of something so silly as religion, I suggest you just find a new friend because this one is pressuring you.

Quit being so naive.
He sucks, but you're naive...if he's pressuring you, then switch friends.

Explain to him that your religion is important to you as is his to him. If anyone trys to change your beliefs abotu anything, they obviously sdon't believe in it enough themselves and are just trying to get moer peopel to make them feel liek what they believe in is in fact true.

I'm a Christian too and I fully beleive 100 % everything the Bible says. The Bible says "For God so loved the world so much that he gave his only son, that whoever beleive in him will have eternal life." John 3:16. =)If you say you are a Christian than you have to prove it. Show your a true Christ-fallower by having faith in Jesus,standig up for what you beleive, and standing up for God! *Beth*

well, no one can change what you believe in..its your choice and he needs to understand that. if he's threatening to not be your friend because you don't believe in the same things he does, then hes not a very good friend. i think that it doesn't matter what religion you are..you get into heaven based on what kind of person you are. i hope my advice helped!

Hey! I'm a christian too. I believe that my faith is the one way to heaven. I'd try to talk about your different faiths. That way you may be able to tell him what you believe and why you believe it and defend your faith. I as a christian believe that we're supposed to try and witness to others, but sumtimes you just have to agreee to disagree, which may be what you have to do in order to keep your friendship. Over time it will hopefully get easier. Hope it helped!

No one should ever try to change what you believe at all! Let your friend know that you respect his religion and you'd appreciate if he respects yours. The reason he's probably doing this is because he has strong opinions and/or feelings towards his religion. But that does not mean that he should change your beliefs on anything. You need to talk to him and try to make things right between the both of you. Tell him that it's ridiculous for you two to stop being friends because you have different religions. I actually believe that when two friends have different opinions that makes it better. You learn from each other but you are not being forced into an opinion that you don't agree with.
Basically, he needs to respect you and your religion. Because if he doesn't - you're going to have some problems. You don't need that and neither does he. Maybe by saying that being close to him and having a great time with him will make him realize that religion isn't significant in friendship. It shouldn't matter what you like and dislike, what should matter is that you both enjoy each others company and that you can talk about things openly without feeling ashamed.

if hes threatening to not be your friend because of your religion.. he doesnt seem like a very good friend. no offense or anything though. one of my besst friends is Jewish and we're fine not even talking about religion. just keep up the Christianity. God has a plan for everything and maybe ya'll arent meant to be such good friends. IM me sometime if u wanna talk more about it. rOcKiN4GoD2010 :) Good Luck..

Don't be his friend.
Hes obviously a pushy bastard.

Oh dear, well this does sound like a tuffy, but i think you should stick to what you believe in! he cant control you...but if you still want to be his friend you should just not like talk about that kind of things around him
hope i helped out if you need more...find me SAF3xWiiTHxM3

first of all, just because you have a differnt view on something doesnt mean yall cant be friends.
second, you need to look at every single angle, look at what he says and look at what you belive and then decide from your heart exactly what you think is right. read the Bible and make sure you are making the right desicion for YOU and not for him!
