my boy friend is jahovas whitness & im baptist we got in a little argument about some stuff. do u think this?

Question

relationship will work out?

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

Apparently he's not a dedicatd baptized witness of Jehovah God. If he was he would be looking for a mate that is a dedicated baptized witness of Jehovah God and not out side the congregation but with in as 1 Corinthians 7:39 instructs all witnesses to do. Deuteronomy 7:3,4. 2
2 Corinthians 6:14. Nehemiah 13:25.

You should bring this subject up to him.
If he can't keep his promises to God how is he going to keep them with you.

I can't judge whether this relationship will work or not, but if he is an active baptized witness the relationship will be strained by your different beleafs.

Sincerely yours,

Answer 3

Sorry sister :(
if u say you are a true child of God, then your relationship with God should be first on your list of priories. Remember to talk with God through prayer and he will answer you.The Bible clearly says to not be unequally yoked. THere is a big difference between a Jahovas witness and a baptist. For now, brake your relationship as boyf. and grilf. and remain as friends. I know it will be hard but following Jesus Christ is more important.

Answer 4

You should both respect each other's religion and not argue. Why not make a compromise? Let him finish his explanation first, then only ask nicely what you don't understand. Instead of cutting him off like "my mom or dad said this and that", or "my church priest don't meddle with JW", talk to him. And express your concern to make your relationship work (if you really like him) instead of arguing. Anyway, if you were to marry him next time, you would have to accept him as he is, and bear in mind that he would be head of the family.

Answer 5

Regardless of which religion is right and/or wrong or whatever, it is very difficult to blend when both people feel strongly about differing beliefs. If you think about the future, which of you would compromise to have your children raised in which religion? There are a lot of things you have to consider and possibly bend on for this to work.

Answer 6

Sorry kiddo - but if he's a jehovah's witness his belief system is fundamentally different from your own and that will cause MAJOR problems as the relationship progresses. (Trust me I know from experience).

Better to find a nice christian guy, or even an agnostic whos open to it, than to date a jw..read up on their on beilefs online..do some research...its kind of scary.

Answer 7

The lord says you should not unequally yoke yourself to another person. If he is bringing you away from your relationship with the Lord then that is obviously not good. Maybe you can show your bf the truth, but if not then your relationship with God should be your number one priority

Answer 8

Erine,
I suggest that you open GOD'S WORD and answer every question from there. My wife and I have not always agreed on reloigious matters but we are always able to find our answers in the GOOD BOOK. Have a wonderful day.
Thanks,

Answer 9

It can work if you don't make religion an issue. If you both think you are the only right ones, it won't work. If you love each other, keep religion out of the relationship.

Answer 10

You should go to the library and study on their beliefs. You will probably be surprised at what he hasn't told you as yet. I think you're asking for trouble if you are serious about your faith.

Answer 11

The JW's will not allow your boyfriend to marry you unless you convert and become a JW.
