No I do not want to betray GOD...

Answer 1

I am a man of fifty seven years, and I lived many years turned away from my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, because unlike Jesus who refused the devil's temptations after coming out from the wilderness, I accepted them. It wasn't until six years ago when my eyes were opened that I was able to see the world for the sinful place that it is and the err of my ways, and that revelation came from God through the wonderful woman who is my wife today. In a lot of ways my life was like that of the apostle Paul, but not to the degree that I had ever physically killed anyone, but I did on many occasions persecute them mentally and emotionally.Today I have a close personal relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and I will be in His service for the rest of my life here on this earth. What you did in response to the temptation that was set before you is commendable. It took a lot of courage for you to make that decision and I'm sure that God will reward you for it when He comes again. Most teenagers want want want, and they want it now, but you being a child of God chose to wait for the bigger prize; God bless you! The world teaches that happiness comes in the form of money, power, sex, and possessions, but God tells us that true happiness comes through His Son Jesus Christ. I regretfully ran around for a better part of my life in circles like a dog chasing it's tail and paid dearly for it, and now all I want to do with my life is glorify God by leading His lost sheep to the well of everlasting life in hopes that they will drink from it. We are God's ambassadors here on earth, so there is no such thing as being in church too much, doing too much work for God, or even preaching the Word too much. Hearing you speak today was like getting a breath of fresh air amidst the clouds of tainted air around me; Thank You ! God bless you and keep you in His care. Your Brother In Christ.

"I thought he was great but then he said I am too much of a church girl and I am not for him so I told him bye and have a nice summer...but I feel bad but I will never betray God and pretend that I don't know him for some guy although he was the guy that I had a crush on for the longest...am I the only person that feel this way...SMILE and I am still happy because God is still real just curious on the answers..has this ever happen to you "

You are very wise for your age. People that don't have a personal relationship with the Jesus could never understand this behavior. I will tell you this I have never heard one person in my entire life say they regretted living for Jesus Christ.

Answer 3

WEll, that's too bad. You've both chosen to put your beliefs ahead of natural chemistry (or maybe outer appearances), depends on how much you've spoken in the past and if you've found alot of common interests that built your mutual crush in the first place.

There is no way around that, your molded by your religious beliefs. He saw beyond it, but you've made it about that and so as such, he's left you to it. What else can he do? There is no room.

You don't have to be without regret, you know. Pay attention to yourself, you are in charge of your own life and your relationship with God, who'se presence is supposed to help guide you in relationships with others not isolate you from them.

Here's the thing, your parents have a mighty influence on what you do and how you do it. They are your earthly guides and you know that every minute of the day. Now,do you spend your time with your friends discussing all the dynamics of your relationship with your parents?

Wouldn't they get a little sick of you, if you did?

You don't betray your parents by having your own life, you use their guidance while your creating it, and you don't betray God either.

Walk with personal integrity, being boorish about God is never the way to go.

Answer 4

I wouldn't be surprised if there's more to come.

Proverbs 29:5 Those who flatter their neighbors are spreading nets for their feet.

Compare this with Proverbs 1:11,17
If they say, "Come along with us; let's lie in wait for innocent blood, let's ambush some harmless soul; How useless to spread a net where every bird can see it!

As for your self-identity coming from other people, that's a bit of a trap too. 2 Timothy 4:3-5 says: "For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry."

Answer 5

You did the right thing. You're in training so that you will always have the strength to stand up for your faith. If he thought you were too "churchy" he may have known that you wouldn't be jumping into bed with him right away so it turned him off. I will never forget the pain of a first love gone bad and boys I had crushes on but God sees your heart and knows how you are feeling because He came to earth in the form of Jesus. The fact that you stand by your beliefs may end up being what attracts someone to you the most later on...in God's time. GBY!

Answer 6

Yes, it has. And on more than one occasion when I was a young woman.

No matter how jim-dandy wonderful a man is, he's up against some fierce competition when he's dealing with a committed Christian woman. After all, God's love, like everything else about Him, is eternal, infinite and total. Kinda nice knowing you've wound His clock for good and unless you turn from Him, He'll always be there for you. With the best intentions in the world, that's not always true of any human male.

I'm 63, dear, and I've never regretted my decision to put my Lord first in my heart.

Answer 7

I am proud of you for making that decision. You chose to honor God first. You are not the only one to have made that decision. It won't just happen in the romance department either.
I learned as a teenager that you should not date someone you know you would not take as a mate. Now you cannot know that totally before dating; that is what dating is for. Yet, the Bible tells us that we should not be unequally yoked, in other words, we should get romantically involved with Christians only. I have learned from personal experience that dating and witnessing do not mix.
God has a godly man waiting and being prepared for you.
Wait patiently and honor Him first.

Answer 8

If he really loved you (or liked you in this case I guess), he would stay with you for who YOU are. He would understand that this is part of the package. If he doesn't like that part, then he doesn't deserve the whole thing! You made a smart choice! :)

Answer 9

If this boy was disrespectful of your beliefs he would probably turn out to be disrespectful in every other way. Count it as a blessing that you found out his true nature early on and was able to move on.

Answer 10

You do not want to date or marry anybody that does not share the same ferver as you do. Doing so will only bring you down-you will not bring the other person up to your level.
