PostSubject: Relationships with Non-Christians? Right or wrong?   Tue Mar 11, 2008 3:20 pm

Don't team up with those who are unbelievers. How can goodness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness?
2 Corinthians 6:14 (NLT)

The issue for the believer today is the same as it was when this verse was written. There is a great danger that we take when we intentionally team up with those who are not Christian. Imagine this scenario: you are standing on a chair (or sturdy table) and your teenage child is standing on the floor. Which of the following is easier to do, pull your teenage child up onto the chair/table with you or your teenage child pulling you down to the floor? Obviously, it is the teenagerasgravity is on their side. You have to overcome gravity and be strong enough to pull the teenager (fighting and screaming) up onto the chair with you. Sure, you might be able to do it but there will be a definite struggle and perhaps you both may fall to the floor and wind up getting hurt and wind up in a lower position that you both started. It is (can be) very similar in our Christian walk. We must not intentionally enter into a relationship with an unbeliever. You are probably thinking, “define relationship”. In reality, it could be any relationship. Whether work, friend, romantic, business partner, and so on. An examplewould be putting ourselves in a position that allows for the lifestyle of the unbeliever to be a greater influence or attraction than need be. But how are we to witness to them? This verse does not say that we should not witness to them. It means that we shouldnot enter into binding or obligatory relationships. We should so regard the work that God is doing in us that we are unwilling to enter into any kind of “dependent” or “permanent” relationship so that we cannot be influenced or deceived by a worldly attitude.1 Corinthians 15:33 says it very clearly, “Do not be deceived: Bad company ruins good morals”.

1. it's fine to be friends with a non-christian. but we should make sure that we are the good influence on them and that they don't influence us. also, we have to be able to witness to them through that friendship.

2. it's not right to have a gf/bf who's a non christian. first of all, it says in the bible that it's not right. does anything else have to be said about that?!? LOL! Very Happy


pero cge...
question...
does that mean that just because the guy's a christian and the girl is also a christian... they can be in a relationship?!?

haha!

a non- christian doesn't have Jesus.
That's the main difference!
and Jesus always has to be in the center of a relationship...

Very Happy

And there will always be conflicts because both parties have different perspective or belief. When marriage comes, both sides will fight for religion they should celebrate their wedding ceremony. Paano kung yun isang side INC and other side christian.... Usually mananalo yun INC kc kelangan magpasakop ka dun. iiwanan mo nalang yun christianity para sumama lang sa mahal mo. Kung sumama naman sayo yun mahal mo sa pagiging christian, at naging christian din, conflict naman sa family niya. Mahirap, kc for example sa cousin ko yung mom ng mga conseulo girls INC siya before. Then both she and her husband accepted Jesus and nagsisimba na satin. Hanggang ngayon kinukulit parin siya ng family niya na bumalik na sa pagiging INC. Yun ba, sobrang malaking factor talaga. Yan parehas na silang christian pero family nila nagkakaconflict pa. Kaya yun....

Well, all of us have free will to choose of what's best for us Wink But every choice has it's own consequence whether it is good or bad Smile Most of the time we realize it when we've already done it or in to it cheers
