what would you do if this were you?

Question

i am a christian but my mate is not. my mate curses the LORD and say,s that he dont wont my kind of GOD but he say,s that he is not for satan either.

Answer 1

If we only had known how our mates would have acted, then we could have made better choices. Un-fortunately I have the same problem. I have pleased asked him to not take the Lord's name in vain. My mate was born a Christian, so he knows better. If you husband is young, then it will take time, and everytime he takes the Lords name in vain tell him this: Thou Shalt Not Take The Lord Thy Gods Name In Vain, For The Lord Will Not Hold Him Guiltless, Who Taketh His Name In Vain.
Everytime he does it, just get his eyes to meet yours and say Please, try not to say that! Don't be mad at him, because they will then know how to push the button. But everytime he curses mainly the GD word, then tell him how this upsets you and ask him to try not to do this. The GD word and the JC word is the worse. Those are the only two that slanders our Heavenly Father. If he says ****, piss, *****, and etc. Let him do it. But tell him to Please not take the Lords name in vain. If you do it nice, he will soon try hard to please you. Good Luck and may God help you in your relationship.

Answer 2

There are a lot of answers here today. You didn't write[ but my husband is not]. So I don't know if you are married. I not , you may be free to go away. I you are married and love him. Pray, pray, and some more. Ask for the Lord to give you the right heart to have as not to cause him more bitterness like it seems he has.Trust to give is up to the Lord. He is pleased when we turn over the tough things to him for help. When we give our self fully to him, he is gracious to help. In the right timing. You have allot of question's here and I read them all. Maybe your mate is a key why your grandchild doesn't go to church. Many things hinge together.
When the Lord fixes one thing others may come along also. When our relationship is good with the Lord Jesus, many other things are well also. My heart goes out to you, I will be praying for your concerns, for they are the Father's also, to bless and show himself to all of you.

May God be there for you.

Answer 3

You have mated with someone who is not of the same spiritual mind as you. That is a core belief. You have decided to commit to someone who is not who you want. That is not a relationship built on stone but on sand. You need to talk with your mate about what is most important to you and if your mate doesn't feel the same way you need to go (leave this person) and find you true mate and build your relationship on stone and core beliefs. Those must be the same or you will take different paths to different destinations.

Answer 4

Well, are you married to this person? The Bible states clearly in 2 Corinthians 6:14 that you should not be yoked together with an unbeliever... So if you are not married and you want to be obedient to the Lord, then I would get out, fast... However if you married that person, God's Word says that you 2 have been put together for a reason, and not to divorce unless he has committed adultery and you cannot forgive him... but here is an idea that someone in our church did for their unsaved husband, when you do his laundry, pray over his clothes that Gods presence would be upon him when he wears his clothes, and pray over his pillow that when he lays his head on that pillow, that God would minister to him and he would HAVE to become saved if he is married to you! It will happen!

Answer 5

I'm sure there are plenty of HOLIER THAN THOUs that would
point out that Jesus said, "If you're not for us, you're against us."
But the Word says that a believing wife will carry her unbelieving
husband into the Kingdom.
As long as you can live together with love and respect, and your
partner is a generally decent person. We shoudn't try to force our own views on our mate.

Answer 6

You say "mate"..? If you are a Christian then you should know that you should be married...not just living with someone.

God says not to marry a nonbeliever. And if you both get married and then you become a believer, you must stay with him, and be an example...UNLESS he commits adultery (cheating on you)..then you are free to divorce him..

Answer 7

If you are trying to save him all the time, you may be turning him off to religion altogether, which may be the reason he curses Jesus. You can’t force someone to accept Christ. Pray for him every day and set a good example of Christ in the way that you lead your own life. Let him find his own way to Christ just as you did. If he is good to you in other respects, just let him be.

Answer 8

If using the Lord's name in vain offends you, then tell him to not say that and give him the reason why. However, don't try to change his way of thinking. He's at the station in life that he prefers at this time. Be the best representative of your religion that you possibly can.

Answer 9

You need to READ your Bible...

All relgions are valid, including athiesm, pagans and devil worshipers. They are just on a different path to understanding spirituality. You must NOT force your religious beliefs upon them - that is an ACT OF VIOLENCE.

The ONLY thing that matters is that you treat everyone kindly. If your mate treats everyone kindly, then that is all your mate needs to go to heaven. NOTHING ELSE.

Answer 10

I would DEAL WITH IT! There are a ton of paths to Heaven (Enlightenment, Paradise, Nirvana, happiness, etc.). Your mate is just on a different path, and if you love him, you will accept this. Trust me, you can make it work. MY girlfriend is an Evangelical Christian, and I am a freethinker. We make it work. So can you, ig you don't try to force your religion on him, and he doesn't do the same. He is, by the way, what is called "agnostic."
