Which is more important your beliefs or friends and other people?

Question

Like should you end a friendship or withdraw from people if they don't accept your beliefs...since certain people won't accept the fact I like ghosts and strong feel they exist?

Answer 1

My beliefs are more important than any friend. My friends share usually share my beliefs so it's not an issue.

Answer 2

my beliefs are more important...

as for ending friendships...no, I don't suggest that, unless ofcourse your friendship compromises your ability to obey God.

If someone can respect the differences they have between religious beliefs and still maintain a strong friendship - excellent! If not, than END the friendship.

(*but since you're talking about 'God'...and instead Ghost: Than, I'd say maybe you should listen/re-consider some of what your friends are saying...)

{Up to one's self.}

Answer 3

Family can argue and disagree on things, but that doesn't mean that you quit being family because family is always going to be family no matter what. So I would say the same with friends.

Just because you and your friends don't agree on things doesn't mean that you have to end your friendship with them. If everybody agreed on the same thing all the time nobody wouldn't be different, which is kind of scary. Disagreements should not end friendships. It should be a growing experience.

Everyone is not on the same level, but that is what relationships is all about

Answer 4

I would not end your relationship unless they can not tolerate you talking to them or around them about your beliefs. My beliefs are more important, but I am a intolerant type of person and yet I maintain some very important although very few friends because they accept me to what and who I am. So my suggestion would be to sort through your friends and family and decide who is really unimportant to you and then begin accessing weather you can talk about your beliefs with or around them.

Answer 5

Your beliefs are more important, are there beliefs important to them, but sometimes you like them need to set aside your beliefs, by not sharing the, and then just have fun while you can, that way you are not going against your belief

Answer 6

My beliefs. It is 1)God 2)others 3) myself

Answer 7

YOUR BELIEFS COME FIRST friends are formed around this core ----if you form your belief system around friends as a base you are in big trouble and will never have a belief system strong enough to stand any hardships that come your way

Answer 8

if thats a big part of your life and its weighing your relationship down then yes. you shouldnt sacrafice your own beliefs and ideals to please other people.

if it's just a minot thing however, then you shouldn't let something as trivial as that get in the way of a good relationship. everyone is different, that dosn't mean we can't all get along. because if everyone thought they couldn't be friends with someone just because they had a few different beliefs, none of us would have any friends..

Answer 9

True believers are not afraid of anything but are cautious....about everything. The stakes are so high. The opportunity to escape the punishment of Hell and receive the reward of Heaven is such an outrageously narrow window...that nothing, nothing will be allowed that might jeopordize it....

Answer 10

I would never end a friendship because they disagree with my beliefs. They are entitled to their opinion even if it disagrees with mine. True friends can get past that and not let it interfere with their relationship.
