My boyfriend is a Jehovahs whitness, and i am christian. He is wanting to get baptized and i think that this will change our relationship dramatically. we were supposed be be getting married next summer but now it is put on hold because of this. Does anyone have any advice or personal experience. Do you think we can make it work? the rules for JW can be very strict..... Also I already have a daughter who is 4 that i had before i met him, so changing the way i live or raise her is out of the question..... HEEELLLPPP. We love each other so much this is so hard!

Because if he does, then why would he give us a book which carries with it the implied condition that it already has the answers? Can’t you see how this would severely hinder the whole discovering process?

Ephesians 5:25 says "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it"

Is this kind of love even possible for us to give?

Why do Muslims feel the need to separate themselves? Does it matter whether you are a Sunni or a Shi’ite? We’re all Muslims and we follow one religion. So, why are there so many Muslims distinguishing themselves? It doesn’t matter if you’re white, black, yellow, green purple. It doesn’t matter whether you are Bengali, Pakistani, Arabic, Pathan,. Desi, Persian. It simply doesn’t MATTER Key word.
Therefore, my only request is: Quit forming a division amongst fellow Muslims.

We didn’t choose who was a Sunni or a Shi’ite. It all depended on the region at that time, and the different families there were. It wasn’t up to us at all, our ancestors, and it makes no difference who we accepted, as long as we accepted ALLAH(SWT) in our life.

I can't help to notice that most people thinks their parents made the wrong choice in how they raised them.

Christians believe that if their parents would have raised them believing in God they would've had less trouble in their lives.

Atheist believe their parents should have never taught them about God.

As parents how can we make the right choice? Should we just teach them everything? Or should we teach our children our own beliefs?

Because a person does not see God is that reason to not believe. What would it take for a non-believer to believe in a God who gave life?
I am not saying you should or "preaching" to you, I'm just asking why you cannot believe.

In a recent post, an answer to a question read "Christians are cowards"

Given that tens of thousands of Christians put their lives on the line every day - as soldiers, as believers in Communist countries, as unarmed missionaries in very dangerous situations - do you think this is true?

Some uninformed Christians, or sincere doubters question the authority of the Bible, believing that it is just a collection of myths and inaccuracies.

Three things characterize almost everyone who has difficulty accepting the authority of the Scriptures:

1) They seldom, if ever, bother to read the Bible.

2) They approach the Bible with prejudiced ideas learned from critics and their writings.

3 ) They are not acquainted with the Bible's " Author. "

My personal opinion is.... the Bible is God breathed, every word, every dotted " i " and every crossed " t " in the original author. I believe the Holy Scriptures are God's instruction book to mankind. When studied under the influence of the Holy Spirit, they are God speaking to us.

God be with you all,

There are many debates on homosexual marriages...

one point of argument is that we should not change the way marriage has been for thousand of years. yet, not very long ago marriage was forbidden among different races.

until 1967 that the anti-miscengenation law was passed, it was illegal in 30 out of 48 states for a black man to marry a white woman or visa versa.

yet, the laws where changed and many biracial couples have wed.

what is the difference? should that change never have happened either?

just want to know your thoughts.
