Hey I have a problem. I am a CHRISTIAN and BAPTIST and there is this boy I really like he's cute, nice, kind, funny, understands me, and he doesn't just judge me on my outward aperance atleast it seems that way. Well, I really like this guy but, he's not a CHRISTIAN!!! And, I've tried to let go of him beleive me but, it's not that easy!!!I told him I din't like him anymore but, then I would cry cry cry and cry. Every love song semmed to remind me of him and I couldn't bear to see him at school. I asked GOD why are you doing this to me help me stay strong did I ,no!!! I gave in and I am madly inlove with him again. And, when I say madly man I mean it!!! He's always there for me. I don't know what to do i can't witness to him beacuse if i did he would only become a CHRISTIAN for me not because he wants to or understands that he needs to. I've PRAYED to GOD and asked HIM for HELP. And, I know i need to be PATIENT. But, i feel that evenwhen GOD says let go of him i refuse not to and won't.In just need advice on how to let go of him or is there a way to make both god and this guy happy. I doubt it but and help would well help!!! Sorry if this is confusing or to long. Just someone try to gove me the best advice possible I won't judge you!!! Thanks. And GOD BLESS ya'll!!!

Spoolie21 answered Friday April 13 2007, 11:21 pm: Hey, I am a Christian too. Webstar Dictionary defines a Christian as one who believes in Jesus and what He teaches. Personally, I have dated guy who weren't and people who were of other religious backgrounds, and I think its okay if you date this guy. God knows that your boyfriend isn't just "any guy"and that you love him. I truly believe that God placed this boy in your life for a reason and that through your Christianity you will touch this boy's life and he can change spiritually. I do not think you should "let go" of this boy, especially if you love him; it might not seem like it now but everything happens for a reason and I think that God will use you to help this boy in his life and while it IS very hard at times God made you strong and you CAN get through this. Good Luck and hope this helped! :) [ Spoolie21's advice column | Ask Spoolie21 A Question ]

pootietang answered Wednesday March 14 2007, 10:55 pm: I'm sorry, but you should leave this guy behind. My philosophy is to never EVER date someone of a different religion. What if you decide to marry this person? Then you would go to Heaven, and he may not. You would possibly never see your true love again.
It also states specifically in the Bible that Christians should only marry other Christians. In my opinion, a Christian and a Mormon can get married because both religions acknowledge Jesus as the son of God. [ pootietang's advice column | Ask pootietang A Question ]
LoveNJstyle answered Saturday March 10 2007, 10:45 pm: I agree with the person below me - don't judge him. Is he just not participating in a faith right now? just because he is not a christian does not mean he doesn't have morals and isn't a good person. as long as he doesn't put down your faith or worship satan, i really don't see what the problem is. interfaith marriages are common now. If he wants to change into the faith for you, that means he's really serious... you wouldnt change your faith for someone if you werent completely in love with them and i don't know how thats a bad thing. if you need anything else, let me know. God bless.

I think you have bigger problems than being a christian.
what else did you want to hear? oh no, don't date that boy! go hypnotize yourself and never think of him again because you are sinning! oh no! [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
NinjaNeer answered Saturday March 10 2007, 7:47 pm: Well, I may not give you the kind of answer you want, because my religious beliefs differ greatly from yours (I'm an atheist).
The way I see it, there's no reason why you should have to let him go. Contrary to what some Baptist churches say, a good Christian will accept and love people for who they are, regardless of their beliefs. If he's a good person, then his religious beliefs shouldn't matter to you.
However, if your religion is something you want to share, you can bring it up and 'witness' to him. Just don't make it a requirement for dating you, or, as you said, it won't be because he wants to.
Remember; he doesn't judge you, so you shouldn't judge him based on what he believes!
-- ADDITION:
"Just someone try to gove me the best advice possible I won't judge you!!!"
Right. Just because I didn't give you an answer you wanted to hear, you judged me.
My point was, who are you to say what God's will is? How do you know what God wants? If there is a God, and he doesn't want you to be with this person, why did he make it so that you two would click so well? Where in the Bible does it say that you can't be with a non-Christian?
