Okay, so my boyfriend told me he isnt a christian and that he doesnt want to live for christ, and he wont have time for christ.
Selfish huh?
I told him that Jesus want's me to have A Christian, cause it wont work out. Then he said no, it will, lets try this time
He doesnt understand that a believer and a nonbeliever wont work out.
2 Corinthians 6:14
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
what can i say to him to make it more believable?
Does God have someone out there for me?
Thanks everyone, and I Love you all very much! You've helped me alot!

If you decide you can't love someone just because he doesn't believe just like you do, then you don't deserve him. You can't force religion on people. It is perfectly reasonable to coexist with an atheist. You just have to be as open minded as they are toward you.
I am an atheist and my girlfriend is Wiccan. We love eath other more than we ever though possible. I would die for her and she would do likewise.
Just imagine, we wouldn't share such a great love if I or she decided to act the way you are now. Love your boyfriend for who he is.

I would say do pray to God about this. Ask God to give you wisdom in making the right decision.
The reason for the verse in 2 Corinthians is that when you have a Christian being with a non Christian, usually the non Christian drags the Christian down. This happens in marriage when one of the partners wants to go to church and the other does not. The churchgoing partner usually ends up not going to church. However there are cases where the non Christian partner finds Christ because of their Christian spouse.
That is why I suggest you pray about the relationship. Though your boyfriend does not have time for Christ, he may one day see the light and choose to accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Maybe God allowed you and your boyfriend into this relationship so that you can lead him to Christ. Pray God will soften his heart.
Should the relationship not work out, God does have a wonderful plan for you. There are a lot of people out there who love the Lord and are hoping to find that special someone.

You may want to ask yourself what does the Book of Corinthians have to do with Jesus' actual message?
It was written by Paul of Tarsus, who never met Jesus, but took it upon himself to preach in his name even though a lot of what he said is today held to be unquestionably offensive to women.
Also, the source you cited has only to do with people preaching the Gospel together, not with love or romance.
I'd say if your boyfriend loves you, honors you and respects your religion, that's more than most women will ever find in this lifetime.
If you find somebody to love in this world, hold on to it like your life depends on it.

Of course God has someone out there for you! When I thought all was lost, he sent my hubby (a Catholic who wanted to become a priest because girls were so awful to him...). Now I'm not Catholic, and we deal with that, but we're happily married and loving our baby girl. Give it time, sweetie. God won't let you live a lonely life. Keep going to Church, Christian singles' nights, etc, and you'll find the right guy. Above all else: KEEP PRAYING!

Yes, God has someone for you. You've been very strong to stand up to your bf, and let him know how you feel. Don't waver from that. If he's the man that God wants you to be with, God will change him, but don't you change. Invite him to church, sunday school, bible study, whatever. If he won't go, say good-bye and go on without him. (Been there, didn't do it, wish I had )

The both of you would be better off it were over.
Then you can find someone on the same mindtrack,
and he can find someone that is going to love and accept him for who he is and what he believes. Just because its "darkness" to you, doesn't mean it is to everybody else.

Uh-huh. And if god had told you he wanted you to have a lesbian, that would be his will, too, right?
If you allow a two-thousand-year-old text to make up your mind for you, then nobody can help you, sweetie.

That's complete ignorance. If you can't accept someone simply because they aren't your religion, then you're judging people. Don't be so uptight about it, it's not the end of the world.

I am sure he does, however, continue praying for your boy friend.
one may never know what might happen.
