Answer 1

Follow your heart, and know that the relationship will never work until you accept him. Do not feel like you have to change him, because that is what he believes in. Your relationship must be based on who each person is, and his beliefs are a big part of him. If you can't accept it, the situation will become a MAJOR relationship block.

Answer 2

I would stay away from anything serious with him until he becomes a christian, if that even happens. The reason I say this is because the Bible tells us not to be in a relationship like that. Having a multi-religion relationship can cause problems later on. If he is a nice guy, hang out with him. If you can only be intimate with him, I would sever the relationship though. There are tons of examples of multi-religion relationships in the Bible, everyone of them went wrong and ended up being a bad thing too.

A lot of times in a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship your hormones are going so wild you cannot really hear what God is saying to you in your prayer time. I would play it safe and just be friends for a while.

Answer 3

So, you're a Christian that will only see other Chirstians? What's the point of that? What happend to going out into the world and telling people about Christ?
You should be with the person you love the most. God want's you (and this guy) to be happy. If that means that you're together then great. If not, then that's life but don't make a choice based on what he believes or doesn't believe. Make a choice based on your heart and your prayers.
Peace.

Answer 4

I am a Christian too, but I've been going out with the same kind of guy for a long time now. He accepts my religion. The fact that he isn't Christian doesn't strain our relationship. I invite him to participate in any religious events I go to. I do wish he was a Christian but I care about him too much to let that get in the way.
Sometimes he seems intrigued by my belief in God and I take that as an opportunity to teach him more about my religion. Hopefully he'll see God in the same light I do but I can never change who he is.
That's my own view.

Answer 5

boogiewoogiesam,

In the words of Bob Dylan, "Ya gotta serve somebody – now it may be the devil or it may be the Lord, but ya gotta serve somebody."

As a Christian, your Father is God, and if you marry a non-Christian you get the devil for a father-in-law. What’s the point of dating if you don’t want to marry? Why risk becoming emotionally involved and then go through a breakup for nothing?

Worse yet you could become emotionally involved and give your heart to a non-Christian and decide to marry because you’re "in love."

I will leave this scenario at this point, and you can ask the women who have made this mistake how it worked out.

God bless.

If you ask for answers from these women, please email me with your findings.

Answer 6

Above all stick to your Christian principles. Pray for him, but don't get too serious unless he changes his mind. It rarely works when one is a Christian and the other is not. I thought my ex-husband was a Christian when I married him, but either he changed or he fooled me. For awhile, I was led away from the church along with him, but I wasn't happy. When I went back, he was first mad, but then he seemed to accept it and even came with me for awhile. Then he started to resent the time I spent in the church and away from him. In the end, I was forced to choose between him and my love of God. I made the only choice I could make, but it was still a painful one. I will pray for you both to make the right choice.

Answer 7

Ok... What you have to do is of course pray for him because for me that is the first thing that you can do for him and if he really loves you and you love him too, you can teach him something about the power of God and if he doesn't like it just leave him because is very hard to live with a person who is not a believer because my father is not a believer but my mom is and for me is very difficult because they don't thing the same thing, so just think if you have a son he won't know what to choose between you and your husband.

So think about it.

God Bless you, too!!!!!

Answer 8

Obviously, you should let your faith run your life, ruin it, and never trust anybody who isn't decieved into believing christianities propaganda.

OR you should love who you are atttracted to, and not let a belief system with zero basis in reality interfere in your hapiness.

From what you say so far, you are fooling yourself into thinking
there is some sort of middle. Trying to change somebody else
to your way of thinking is immoral and won't work as a relationship.

Answer 9

"i'm a strong christian and i don't believe that i should date anyone who isn't a believer". You are contradicting your Faith then if you believe anything else; the Bible says not to be unequally yoked: 2 Corinthians 6:14. This means not to have intimate relationships with Non-Believers

Answer 10

Dont go out with anyone in order to save them. You will be better off dating someone with similar values. In time your differences over religion will become a big deal. In a relationship people who have at least the same value structure would do better than 2 people who dont.
