Food for though. In Christianity we say that the past is just that, the past. Christ wipes away the past and transforms our lives if we let him. Obviously many Christians have testimonies that run along the lines of almost a fairy tale. "I grew up in a Christian home, got saved at 6, went to a Christian college, etc." Likewise some have testimonies that look more like a horror movie.
Anyway, the question for discussion is: how much do you take into account someone's past when making decisions about relationships this is assuming that it really is PAST, not recent. This assumes that the person is currently a strong Christian and has left the old life behind. Likewise, for those who have a past, how much does your past affect your decisions in persuing a relationship with someone who doesn't. In other words do you walk away because you think that someone who hasn't had a bad past could love or accept you in spite of your past
