i understand what youre saying, but at the same time, i feel like god let me and my boyfriend meet for a reason. doesnt god work in mysterious ways? wouldnt god want me to be happy with this man?
No, He wouldn't. God's ultimate goal is not our happiness, despite what certain preachers may claim. God's ultimate goal in us is to have fellowship with us, and to grow us towards righteousness. And, in reality, growth is difficult and painful. God is not concerned with giving us what we want to make us happy, He wants us to learn His will and be happy in that.
But doesnt god have different paths for everyone? it says that being gay isnt okay in the bible, doesnt it? yet god loves everyone.
should it not be the same as marrying out of your religion? god does not judge, so why would he be upset?
Different paths, yes. But these paths do not deviate from His righteousness. And it is against His righteousness to marry a non-Christian.
Just because God loves someone, does not mean he approves of your choices.
God does not judge? Have you read the bible? There are TWO judgments. One for the saved, and one for the unsaved. God absolutely judges, because it is His standards we are to live by and be judged by.
You seemed confused about Halal, though i presented you with scripture that answered your question.
Yes i DO believe that. And i DO accept jesus as son of god. i'm not quite understanding what me accepting jesus has anything to do with dating a muslim? i have a connection with god, and i know that he loves me, and everyone else in this world equally.
are you telling me that god is going to send me to hell in a lake of fire?
what do you mean death threats? or being second class?
Because part of accepting Jesus is learning and following God's will. It has been shown to you in the bible that it is against God's will for a Christian to marry a non-Christian. So this is what it has to do with you dating a non-Christian.
You are the one that keeps making this a hell issue, it's not about going to hell or not going to hell. It's about a desire to be obedient to God above doing what we want and ignoring His will.
It's well documented how Muslims treat non-Muslims. As i gave you reference to in my original post. And that's just one aspect of the situation.
I do realize that he doesnt believe jesus is the lord and savior. but at the same time... i live in the usa, and people are entitled to their own religions. it does say in the bible that gay relationships are wrong, yet it ALSO says that god loves everyone EQUALLY, which ALSO counts people following different religions, does it not? do you not think that everyone is entitled to choose what religion they wish to follow?
Sure, they can pick whatever religion they want. But if they reject Christ as savior and choose to not obey God and His word then there is hell to face. You have a misunderstanding of what love. God's love has nothing to do with giving permission to people to do anything they want without consequence.
Have you ever disobeyed your mother or father? Did they like or agree with your decision? Despite not liking your actions, did they love you any less? Does the fact that they love you mean you are free to do anything you want?
So just because God loves us does not mean we have free reign to do anything we want.
Why would god not love everyone equally? he created everyone on this earth. of course he would love everyone. god doesnt turn his back on people, he treats everyone just the same. i've been taught that my whole life. ive gone to church, its what ive learned.
You suddenly seem so insistent that you know so much, yet in this thread, time and again you show a complete lack of knowledge and understanding about the bible. And even as people give you Godly, biblical advice, you continue to disagree and push for your desires and accept that over God's word.
i believe in the bible. i'm a christian because i believe in god and the bible. regardless of your opinion of me, as ive told someone else, being rude to me and telling me im not a true christian? who are you to judge me and tell me what i am and what im not?
The bible actually teaches that Christians are, to a degree, to judge other Christians.
