Praying for peace and comfort and for you, moose. It's so painful to end a relationship with someone you are strongly attracted to! But it's true, if you continued forming deep bonds with someone who is in rebellion to God's Word they would eventually lead you away from God (remember Solomon 
). Hopefully, the Holy Spirit will work in her life and bring her closer to Christ.

She did as (I don't remember who exactly) said on the last page, you know, "I can change, I'm sorry." And I got into that with her explaining what she really wants. She told me she's be re-searching herself for a while and checking her beliefs and goals. We agreed that if she could change into a more godly girl and Christian influence on myself, that I'm sure God would make a way for us.
She is saved for those who are curious, but she has no way to go to church, and she lives an hour away from me, so that is my conjecture of his distance from a godly relationship with Christ. I pray that she may find a way to go to church regularly so she may shape into the Christian partner I'm seeking, but I am trusting God with the situation.
Thanks everyone, you truly helped more than I had imagined the night I posted this.

Haha, age comes fast from what I hear all the time.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Stay there. Know Him. Then you will hear Him. He only wants the best for you. What you have gone through could be the start of building a relationship which is based on honesty and on your Love for God. She does not have to share your depth of devotion...that can come. But you need to have peace over this. I sense through writing and reading the responses posted, you have found that peace, the way forward. That can only be good. All good things do come from the Lord, so...wait on Him...be excited and see what amazing things He will do if you give Him the room to move. God Bless you, abundantly!! <><

I concur!! its been a delight to read the way you have responded to some tough responses, when you are in love, even though you know its not quite right...you so do not want it to be wrong. You have such a balanced view, you have discussed this with her honestly and openly. Well done. Wait on the Lord. He will show you the way, the best thing you can do right now is get close to Him (as you are right now Stay there. Know Him. Then you will hear Him. He only wants the best for you.

Of course I'm exceedingly heartbroken at the moment, that was one of my reasons for hesitation in the beginning. But I know that though it really hurts now, it will be more than worth it in the future, and that the pain I'm experiencing at this moment is far more manageable than any pain that I'm preventing myself from in the future. (divorce, broken home, etc) So I know God is in this, and that he knows what he's doing.
God bless!

The first thing I would do is slow my roll, just calm down. Whenever your in a situation of confusion or panic don't make any fast decisions. I think that it is a good idea to meet with some men in your church so they can help you. Another thing you want to realize is your not getting married with her tomorrow. You have time to think things through, pray to God and talk to your girlfriend about your concerns. Keep her in the loop. Make sure that you keep your eyes on God and not on your situation so much. Don't overwhelm yourself in wondering whats the best thing to do. Put your trust in God, talk to Him and relax in Him. The fact that she believes things like atheism and polytheism is a definite red flag, I know you realize this. Your strength in God is all you need.

I have been through something similar to what you're going through now. Basically, I had to choose between my faith and the woman I loved. I did not want to make that choice, but the choice was forced on me by my own conscience. We were together but due to difficult and complicating circumstances in our lives there was no possibility of marriage. And because of that, we could never be a legitimate couple. When we made love it was fornication.
We made plans for the future, but those plans were not to be. She suffered from schizophrenia and had never received proper treatment or medications. Because of the anguish she was experiencing at the time, my partner tried to commit suicide by overdosing on psych meds. She didn't die from that, but later succumbed to complications arising from the damage she'd done to herself with the pills.
The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

I agree. As a matter of fact, my wife and I have very different opinions on important issues. That's why I don't think it's impossible for this young man to work through this matter and eventually marry this young lady. It just might be a lot harder than it otherwise might be. But hey, in the end it may be worth it. I've been bearing my burden for sixteen years. And it's only half killed me. But we still manage pretty well for the most part and we have two fabulous kids. I wish this young man well. With God, things can work out where others might doubt.

Brother MooseAura The Word says to be this( eph 4:32)With this in mind I want to show you this. Matt 10:34-39 You are young,i am, ah a little older. lol But being older does not mean that I can, or would overlook your present struggle both in yourself as well as in the one you love.
I remember being your age bro!! And I completely understand what goes on in a young body as well.Both in mind and flesh. I shall only present you brother with a few things for you to consider.I will not tell you what you must, or have to do!Question 1.Where are you yourself really in the Lord?2. How established in his Word have you become,so that you are able to fight off feeling your flesh is looking to give you?3. Saying we love Jesus and truly loving him, means that our time is important for him as well!I mean how much time did you spend on your girlfriend to gain her??See the point to the scripture now bro? God has and will always love you!!
He does not change,but our mind can change towards him, unless we abide in the Word he gave us! Which leads to question 4. Do you believe you are balanced in Christ Jesus in your own life?For if you were to marry what kind of an example can you be to your helpmate? can she help?She cannot help you brother unless you yourself are firmly established in God's Own Word! And you are the true example I know you wish to be to her.Hard lessons to a hardhead that I was myself was bro!!
Truth sets us free, and abiding in that truth was my first lesson from Holy Spirit on making Jesus NUMBER 1 Jesus will not take a backseat to anyone or anything!!I had to learn this the hard way bro! And so these question of truth in the mirror of life came unto me. I looked to avoid these questions,but sin follows one who is being tossed to and fro! And consequences result from that sin!
So the ball is in your court now bro,you decide on whether these question have any truth to them for your own life. ( john 14:6)says I am the way, the truth and the life!! Since we believe this brother,then our life must follow always our loving Jesus! The time for game playing is over! It is not fair bro I know!
I had more time then you do!But God is doing a quicker work in his people,because as you well know the time is much shorter now, then when I was your age! May this encourage you, and comfort you,in this!! ( col 2:6-10!!) verse 7!!! established!!!! For the Will of God is not only in words bro, but are confimed in deeds!!( james 1:22) Blessing to you bro!

You are in a spot for sure and I can feel the pain and frustration you have. First above all else, please keep praying about this to God. I have been taught it's ok to ask others their opinion on something, but the ultimate decision for your life comes from God. Always seek godly council, someone you know is a true Bible believing Christian and keep praying, God will guide your heart.
I "thought" I was in love many times in my adult life, mainly in my late 30's early 40's, and I really hated to break things off with them mainly because I didn't want to hurt them. But as God kept pressing on me, these people didn't seem to care about hurting me, and I knew I deserved better and to be treated better than I was. My situations were different from your dilemma, but my feelings were much as your own. I am very sensitive and take things very personally. I have always battled with depression all my life due to the abuse I suffered from my mother and other family members. But as I kept praying, I knew in my heart God wanted better for me and I knew He was telling me to let them go. I did stay friends with most of them, but over time we drifted apart. Yes, it was a horrible time for me, I cried all the time and broke down very easily, but I always clung to Christ through it all. And every time I went through this, God always got me through it. It does hurt and it is very painful to end a relationship, but you do make it through, just trust God while going through it.
I waited for Gods best to come into my life and I wasn't going to settle for anything less. I am so happy that I waited and I can even thank God for allowing me to suffer through all the wrong relationships, so that when His right one came along, I knew it without a doubt. He is everything I ever dreamed of and wanted, plus some. We have both been truly blessed.
All I can say is, if you feel any uneasiness in your heart, then this girl is not the one God has chosen for you. If you have complete peace in your heart, then she may be the right one. But keep praying and seek godly council is my main advice.
I love God with all my heart, I feel Christ is the one and only way. But, even though I know this and I know all other religions are false and there is no other God but this one, I will never hate or look down upon another for their beliefs. God gave us all free will to make choices, and if others want to believe something else that is their decision. I will not verbally beat them up over it or cram Christ down their throats as some would do, that doesn't fix anything, but I feel living as Christ would, and trying to set an example and hope others can see a difference in me from the world, that might draw those who believe in something else to come and ask me about my beliefs.
I too am 100% against homosexuality. The Bible clearly states how God feels about it and it is an abomination and unacceptable. I am against gay marriages, it is wrong, it is not of God. One cannot be gay and a Christian, it is just not possible. This does not mean I am a homophobic or whatever the term is they use towards Christians that are against homosexuals. I can love the person, but hate the sin. Just because one doesn't like the sin act doesn't mean they hate the person doing it. If that was the case we would all be hated, because we are all sinners.
This is where I have problems with "Christians" and "churches" today. Too many are too busy trying to please man instead of pleasing God and following His commands. To me, if one is a true Bible believing Christian, then they would not stand for homosexual rights. Or women being pastors in the church for that matter. The Bible clearly states a woman's place in the church can be a teacher of Sunday school etc. but not to be a leader in the church and preacher over men. That is not the role God gave us women. And too many churches allow this as well as allow homosexuals to be preachers in a church. How can something God does not like or allow, that is a sin, be a leader in a church? These are churches that do not preach Gods truth.
As a true Christian we are to be set apart from the world. The world should be able to see a huge difference between us and those of the world. Today I find it extremely hard to tell a Christian apart from a non-Christian. Just because one says they are a Christian doesn't make them as such. There is so much more to it. And sadly churches are becoming this way also, at least the ones in my area. When Christ returns, there will be so many still sitting in the pews left behind. Is it their faults, no. They were just taught wrong and didn't learn how to discern Gods truth. Another thing I was taught was, never ever believe everything a pastor tells you, listen with a heart bent towards God and then go home, pray to God as you open your Bible and dive into it and look up what was told to you, if it doesn't match the word of God, then keep looking for a church that does preach Biblical truth.
Sorry, didn't mean to get off subject but felt I was to share. These are things God has pressed upon my heart over the years and felt I was to share here.
No one should tell you to dump this girl or to stay with her. They should advise you to trust God, pray about it, seek godly council, and as I learned from a very good pastor, if you do not have total peace in your heart about something, then something isn't right. That is God speaking to your heart brother.
Keep praying and know that if you do break up, then it is for the best, God has something better for you just around the corner and whatever challenges you face, God will see you through. If He got me through all my emotional difficulties, He will surely do the same for you. Praying for you brother.

Another thing I was taught was, never ever believe everything a pastor tells you, listen with a heart bent towards God and then go home, pray to God as you open your Bible and dive into it and look up what was told to you, if it doesn't match the word of God, then keep looking for a church that does preach Biblical truth.
Sorry, didn't mean to get off subject but felt I was to share. These are things God has pressed upon my heart over the years and felt I was to share here.
No one should tell you to dump this girl or to stay with her. They should advise you to trust God, pray about it, seek godly council, and as I learned from a very good pastor, if you do not have total peace in your heart about something, then something isn't right. That is God speaking to your heart brother.
Keep praying and know that if you do break up, then it is for the best, God has something better for you just around the corner and whatever challenges you face, God will see you through. If He got me through all my emotional difficulties, He will surely do the same for you. Praying for you brother.
Thank you so much and God bless!

Wowwww! This was probably the most accurate thing to my own understands and beliefs that I've ever read. Everything you've said is exactly how I feel and what I believe. Thank you so much for this, for it lets me know that not only am I the only person that thinks along these moral lines, but also that I'm not the only dedicated CHRISTIAN that believes it to be so!
Thank you so much and God bless!
Thank you so much and God bless!
My husband and I will be praying for you and I know whatever you decide, it will be Gods best for you and you will be happy and blessed for following His heart and His desires.
I feel for you because life today is very difficult, especially for those who are younger. Times have changed so much. But one thing never changes and is constant...Gods love for us. And no matter what He brings our way or allows to happen in our life, we may not like it some times, but He has a plan and a purpose for it and He will always be with us to see us through. So stay strong, continue to trust God and He will bless you so much with your hearts desires.
It is encouraging to find someone your age that is a dedicated Christian. It is very difficult today to find anyone who is anymore, let alone someone from the younger generation. I am very proud of you for your convictions and dedication to Christ.
God bless you!

You are very welcome. I just shared what I have learned in the past, things God has gotten me through, as well as what I felt Him laying on my heart to share with you.

Like I've said (either here, or in my other thread I started), I rarely find the chance to talk to anyone about my troubles and situation(s), so this gives me a chance to talk about them and get help, so all of this really means alot since its such a rare occurance for me!!
And though I may be young to most people to serve Him, all I can know is the years and years that I have already wasted of middle and high school that I could have spent in investing myself as a Christian and growing this way even sooner.
But I'm sure God knows what he's doing, and maybe he had me wait so long so that I COULD grow this way, and have this level of understanding before growing. Who knows? Not me! His plan is way beyond me, so I'm just gonna teach myself more and more to just trust Him and have faith.
Thank you and your husband for your prayers!! It means A LOT!
