Moral and spiritual fued
I have met a new friend on advicenators. Ever since I heard she was agnostic, I have wanted to show her the light of god. Were pretty good friends now. I am at a point where I could tell her apart a group. Anyway, she is super nice to me, and I do what I can to be the same to her. Anyway I have always thought that you could only find Jesus through a christian, and she has been like jesus to me. I am confused, but happy at the same time. Can you explain things to me?

I'm not sure how good my explanation will be, but i can give it my best shot.
It's possible to find Jesus in anyone, christian, agnostic, athiest, buddist, muslim, and any other person.
Continue being nice to her. Since she apparently knows your a christian she's gonna watch you, whether she means to or not. She'll look for how you act towards other people, how you react to certain situations or people, what kind of words you use, who all you hang around with, everything. I'm not saying be sugar sweet to everyone, or let people walk all over you, and I'm definitly not saying you can never mutter a cuss word under your breath, or telling you not to hang out with certain people cuz they're not 'fitting to your standards', unless they're gonna wind up getting you to do something you don't want to do or shouldn't do in which case don't hang around them. How you act could very easily determin whether or not she comes to Christ. Always keep this in mind. not just with her, but with everyone. The world watches christians. That's just how it is.
If she's agnostic she has a pretty good point. It's really not possible to tell 100% rock solid positive whether or not God really exists. That's why you have to have faith. You just have to believe. It is okay to question a little every now and then, as long as you continue to believe, knowing God will never give you more than you can handle. I have an agnostic friend, and to tell the truth i'm not all that sure myself just how to convince her that there is a God that loves her. She knows all about God and that some people believe in Him and that some people don't, and all the works that go along with it. She's set on not believing it and there's nothing much I can do, but let her know that I believe in God and if she ever has any questions I'll do my best to answer them. If I don't know the answer I tell her that and that i'll do my best to find out and get back to her on it. I don't let her being around stop me from talking about God. I believe in Him and she knows that me believing in Him comes with the territory of being my friend.
Don't treat her any different than anybody else. Just because she doesn't believe doesn't mean that she shouldn't be treated like everybody else. That circles back to the reactions to certain situations thing. The Bible says to love EVERYONE, not just those like you.
This is the best I can give you and I really hope it helped. Leave me a message and let me know if I did ya any good, but don't worry about ratings. Helping is all I'm worried about.
