Yes you can be religious but not be a Christian, but in the real question is do you have a relationship with God? You don't have be religious to have that, but you can't be a Christian without it. Its like saying, I am a going to heaven because I am a good person. Well, thats not true, the only way to God is through Jesus.

I don't that weed isn't any worse the cigarettes...it is addictive, and the smoke is still not good for your lunges. The drug it self may not be addictive but the feeling is. Thats what I find the problem is, its not that I need to escape life....its just a neat feeling, more relaxed....I have talked to a few people who say that when they smoke they feel more spiritual because the rest of the world seems far away....and you can focus more on God. And its true, when I was on shrooms, I had my bible with me 90% of the time and was "preaching" to the people I was with. I truly felt closer to God because I wasn't numb to my feelings.

GF and marriage pressure (Updated ... sort of)
tenn22 replied to VictorWard's topic in Relationship Advice
Marriage is a delicate thing, as I learned takes time to do well. Sometimes we fail. -
things have been much better, we had a good talk about it. We decided on a compromise for the issue, we decided using a condom would be ok for him. He seemed to enjoy it very much so! thanks for everybody's imput!

I agree, You HAVE to think of your kids. This will affect them in many many ways.......if you stay with her, and there is a lack of trust there, they will grow up not being able to trust their partners in future relationships. I would get family counselling! God Bless!

The reason I asked this question is becausee I have smoked weed and done shrooms once, I realize that I am being a hypocrite when I do things like that. I want to stop and am in process of doing so, but for anybody who has done that and enjoys the experience, its hard when your given another oppourtunity to do them. I know there is no excuse right?

I agree, and God shows us what we need. Its like in the matrix when Morphious says to Neo, " I can show you the door, but you have to walk through it." Its the same with God, He shows us His Word and He shows us how we can be saved by Him. And yes to a certain extent we make our own salvation, but we don't save ourselves, God does that. We just make choices to get to that point or not to. You could use it this way....God gave us all free will, and at 9/11 when those men flew the planes into the WTCs they claimed it was for God. I truly believe that God didn't not want them to commit murder against innocent people, its against one of the ten commandments.....but they have free will and made that choice to do that. Unfourtunately its the same for the enemy. The devil will show you the door and you can choose to walk through it or not. Every decision is like a cross road to God and to the enemy.

sure, Christians who do drugs casually...ie) Weed, shrooms...etc....just say......every couple of months....what do people think about that?
-
What do people think about this subject?
-
Remember God has forgiven us for all of our sins, thats why Jesus died on the cross. God just expects us to turn to him when we need to make decisions. And when we make poor ones thats causes consequences...not always God punishing us...its the decisions that we made that caused them. Does that make sense?
-
Have you guys separated before? Maybe you should see if she'll go to counselling? So basically she's cheated on you 7 or so times, thats a lot....once is a lot......I would say she loves you but doesn't respect you and the bonds of marriage. What else is going on in you marriage that may have caused this to happen? Look at all angles...and God Bless! Hopefully everything works out for you guys, one way or another.

hey, I am 22 almost 23 and have been married for almost a year. From the sounds of it your girlfriend is trying to pressure you into doing something that your not ready for. Marriage is something you need to be ready for. If you turn this around and if she were asking you for sex and you weren't ready for it...and she said "if you loved me......" Is that right? No, if she respects you, the way she should...then she should understand that your not ready yet...you may want to in the future just not yet. If you choose to get married and you don't want t o yet......you won't enjoy the experience as much......God intended us to enjoy marriage, not be pressured into it. We chose to get married young because we were ready...both of us. I wouldn't have said yes if I wasn't ready...don't ask her if your not ready. Worse situation maybe you need to have a talk with her and make her understand that your not ready.....and thats final.....your request, in this situation, out ranks hers because of the severity of the whole situation. You know what I mean? good luck! -
Thats very true for many things poppet, but while we are on earth, we still need to seek Him and try to find out everything we can about Him.

Thank you all for your replies. All were encouraging. I know God has a plan for me in my life. ......I am not sure what else to say..but thank you for your encouragment.

[ I just have so many questions.. and concerns about my beliefs. And to compound the problem.. my mom is sick with cancer and needs prayers right now. yet, I feel guilty praying because of all of these questions and doubts. So, I COMPLETELY feel your pain!!!!!! Thank you for responding. THERE IS A GOD! Although I struggle, I know he does or doesn't do things for a reason, and many many times we don't understand. NEVER feel guilty praying. I know what you mean when you say that, because I feel it too, when I haven't done anything for God, and then I ask him to protect my husband or something like that. But God doesn't see that as a bad thing! Just on another note, dating an athiest.......not helping. But thank you for responding!

I am a Christian and have be en for almost 7 years. I have be backsliding for the last couple of years. I feel that I am too lazy to do anything about it but at the same time I know that if I don't that there will be consequences....ie) a poor relationship with God. Is anybody in the same boat and how did you get out of it? Sometimes I just want to say 0X to all the Christians who try to tell me what I am doing wrong, but I know that they are right.

well, my husband really enjoys anal. I tend to not. to me it feels like I am taking a poo without the control. Sorry to be gross, but its true. Although I don't like it that much, after a couple of times it does feel a bit better, but I wouldn't pressure her into doing it because remember it may feel great for you but is she enjoying it? If she doesn't like it then be respectful. 8)

It has been an issue since before we got married, and no we didn't have sex before we got married. He and I talked about it last night, and I again expressed my feelings about it and he is willing to compromise with using a condom. At first he it didn't seem like he was listening to me and was sticking to the fact that he wanted a blow job and that was that. But he came around and started listening to me. He was also happy to hear that I was trying to find out ways to compromise so that we could both enjoy it. So far its not bad, but we'll see how things go.

Other then my husband, my best friend is a guy. We have been friends for 9 years. When you do have a guy as a friend, and you don't want it to get any further, you need to be careful. Since both of us had significant others, we had to communicate with them about their feelings most times they didn't have any problems with us hanging out. But every once in a while there would be a issue. You most definitely be friends with a guy, but there is always a chance that one may have "more then friends feelings" and the other may not. It also depends on whether or not that person wants to pursue it or just live with it. Its confusing, but it is possible with the right people.

I would like to hear how things go for you and your friend, so please keep me posted! Thanks, Tenn22

nope, your right Jimbo, I didn't look at their age until after....... hmmmm, how to approach your friend. This situation maybe difficult, because your friend probably doesn't want everybody to know. Has anybody gone to a trusted adult and told them? If not maybe you should tell an adult that you trust. But remember if you do and your friend finds out, she may not be too happy with you. But I to tell an adult is the right thing to do, because your friend may need some help. Good luck!

I reason I don't like to do it is because I don't want him to cum in my mouth. I think it is very important to him, because he feels that it shows him how much I love him, to do something that I don't want to. And yes, I have tried it and he has gone in my mouth and I really didn't like it....I almost threw up actually. He is not a bad person, and I understand that its hard to give up something that you really want.....but the thing is I think he is being really selfish and am sick of being made to feel bad about something that I don't think I can control. I just don't know how to get the message accross without hurting him, because I know what meaning it holds for him. I don't want him to feel any less of a man because I don't want to do it.
-
I mean by the "end result", I mean going in my mouth. He does warn me when he is about to go. But he when I stop and start doing something else on him, he doesn't get upset right away but after he asks why I wouldn't give him head? He then gets upset, its like he feels bad that he wants it and I don't but won't let it go. Its like we are at a stailmate and can't figure out how to get out of it.

hey, I have working with people who have cut themselves, many times they do it, as weird as it sounds, because it feels good. Sometimes they don't know how else to relieve the pain, maybe she just needs somebody to talk to. Other times people like to do it because they like making scars on themselves. Its probably really embarrassing for her to go and talk to somebody about it. Maybe just take her out for coffee and talk about life, don't push her to talk about her problems, but let her know that you are there for her if she does want to talk. It may get to the point where you may need to tell somebody about the situation. Good Luck!
