My boyfriend is atheist and i am a strong christian! Help?

[jana]

I have already fell very deeply in love with this boy and he is so deeply in love with me! He does not believe in God. It breaks my heart sometimes. But its like he has all the makings of a christian because his parents are "non practicing christians" I prey about it everyday that he will come to church with me and i think he might if i approach it the right way... but i really dont know how! Does anyone have suggestions for me? Please!?

Yes, my suggestion is to sit down and open your bible. It tells us as believers not to be unequally yoked, that means, with those who reject Christ. If you keep in this relationship, there is more of a chance you will be dragged down than he will be "pulled up". Heartbreak is what God wanted to save you from, when He gave this admonition.

Both Christians and non-Christians can put deposits in our inner "love banks" through meeting basic needs in wonderful ways. They can build up huge accounts in us. They can also make withdrawls later by treating us poorly, thus lessening the love deposits. Be careful with needs met becoming love that could later destroy you spiritually. There are a lot of true horror stories out there of Christians losing a lot when light has fellowship with darkness as the scriptures so plainly warn against.

wow, what a total selfish thing to do. You have the man of your dreams, and your going to try and change him? I feel sorry for him.

I'm atheist, my finance is Catholic -- she has no problems with it.

We've discussed it before, she knows I'm a good person and that's all that matters for her. She just asks me to go to Church with her, and I do.

Honestly if you both really love each other, faith shouldn't matter.

Don't let religion get in the way of love. Who cares what his beliefs are? It's the love and emotion that counts. Just leave religion out of this.

Don't proselytize nor make him come to church. Doing such as thing may make your relationship worse.

Where does praying get you hun?

[stuarth]

You need to pray long and hard and find another boyfriend. The two of you staying together will cause nothing but heartache for both of you. The Bible says to not be unequally yoked to nonbelievers you would do well to follow that advice.

Let him believe what he wants.
