I had a relationship with a non-christian guy for almost 1 yr and it's been 3 yrs now since we broke up. I was really young at that time and it's like he's the only important person that I could have, and I loved him so much. And he's 7 yrs older than me. That time I almost forgot about GOD. After we broke up, it took me 1 yr to move on. At my lowest point when I was alone and afraid, GOD drew me to Himself. From growing up in a Christian home, I knew what to do. I confessed that I am a sinner and that I was trying to find life in other people and myself. I acknowledged that He sent Jesus to die on the cross so that I can be saved from my sin and have eternal life and He rescued me from myself and eternal separation from Him. And so I commited to live for GOD instead of others.

Paul could say: 'Forgetting those things which are behind, I press forward toward the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus' (Philippians 3.13).

AMEN brother and in 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation: the old has gone, the new has come! GOD renewed and molded us. GOD is really good, ALL THE TIME!

I've had the opposite experience. As an unbeliever, I've recently been with a believer whose family was staunchly Christian. He himself wasn't so bad, but his parents were terribly overbearing and almost openly critical of my lack of faith whenever I visited. I decided to end it a few months in, since my being with their son was causing a tremendous deal of thinly-veiled tension within his family. His father would, at times, openly proselytize at their dinner table in my presence.

Parents. :rolleyes:

Good instruction for that is in 2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? For GOD does not want us to depart from him.

So in other words, you want to be accepted by Christians, hang out with Christians, influence Christians...
but not be a Christian?
Just curious :)

This brings up a good point. Nothing in the realm of human relationships occurs in a vacuum.

Except for maybe in a few NASA experiments.

My husband was an atheist and now he is somewhere in between believing and not believing. I am happy for this little progress of his.

Yes, when I was 18. It was one of the worst decisions of my life. Thankfully it only lasted 4 months.

Yes: basically their governing beliefs begin to tempt you to see things their way every minute every day. It steers you away from your relationship with God. That is why if you intend on being in a marriage or close friendship with someone: teach them about your Savior and Your reason to be alive first and if they don't want to hear it you just saved yourself a world of suffering.

The one-way ticket to bail out fast is always a good idea if the bf is not a believer as well.

I've never been with an unbeliever but I have dated three different men who were supposedly Christians, they at least knew right and wrong, and they were all a pretty bad experience. I think believing somebody is a Christian and find them doing things wrong according to Scripture is very disappointing and can make you wonder if there is anybody decent out there.
