Rev. Malice I have fallen in love with a christian girl, and i wish to ask her to marry me, but I don't know what to do. should I reamain faithful my religion and her or convert completely to presbaterian? I don't know what to do and i do not wish to lose her, some one please for once in my life... HELP ME. If you converted....would it be a true conversion from the heart? Or would it just be a conversion in words and possibly actions only? Could you find a real love for God in your heart? The Holy Spirit works conversions in the hearts of His people. It is not simply our choice alone, but a choice we make because of this work in our hearts. So many times I have seen Christians go through heartbreak because they married someone outside of the church who had "converted" so that they would marry them. For awhile it seemed as if they were fine, but after awhile there spouses showed their true hearts, and because of this their marriage ended in a messy, heartbreaking, divorce. Think about this before you do anything. If you love this girl you will do what is best for her in the longrun........not just what you feel is right at the moment.

"Why must you convert?
Why don't you both stay true to your nature?
Differnces in everyone make things interesting in life.
Love cuts through any problem.
Love is number one.
Faith is important, but I never would put anything infront of those I care for. If that means my damnation so be it. But I am not the most faithful person, so I would do so without much consideration.
Your falling in love because of who your partner is, not what they are. Look beyond differnces and imbrace similarities!"

I don't know how different your beliefs are when compared to this gir, but a significant difference could cause some tension in the future. If you do get married, which church would you go to? Hers, or yours? Which beliefs would you pass on to your kids-- Hers, or yours?

xXxcrimson_tearsxXx Heh... I'd like opinions and help on this....
I can't find a church, cause of a few reasons.
1. I'm 16, and almost 23 weeks pregnant. But I often look only 15. I don't wear makeup, I don't wear dresses, and I often wear baggy mens clothes. I dress that way because something happened when I was 4, and although I don't really remember it I'm scared it will happen again so I make myself look like a guy. Anyway, As soon as most people in my area see me, they see I'm pregnant, see the way I dress, and somehow manage to label me a slut. I'm not a slut, I had a jerk of a boyfriend, and couldn't bring myself to abort cause it's too much like throwing gods work back in his face.
2. I have burns, and cuts, on my arms because I was depressed. I used to cut myself and burn myself with cigarettes at school and things like that, because I lost my dad, and was going through a bad time where I needed a dad. Anyway, when I go to a church, they see the marks and scars, and are revolted and disgusted. They turn away and tell me I'm not worth God's love because I'm a slut and a whore.
What am I supposed to do? I want to go to church cause I love God, even though I have only recently returned to my faith. But I keep getting kicked out, and I'm scared that if I don't attend church, I won't get to heaven. don't listen to them. God loves you. you are worth every bit of God's love. if they try to get you to believe things like that, they're not worth any of your attention. try to find another church. if all else fails, come to my church smile lol. really though, don't pay any mind to what others say about you. you are one of God's children. only God can judge you, and he loves you, no matter what.

guys, i'm going through an extremely stressful time at the moment. my parents are getting a divorce, my grandma is really sick and could be dying (she's my last grandparent), i'm majorly falling behind in school, me and my brother can't get along whatsoever, me and my dad are getting that way, i feel like a complete failure, and i've done something i've sworn myself not to do. i became one of the people i used to make fun of. i did something i'm completely against. i gave up on myself and let my depression take over. i really don't feel like going into detail with it, but you guys know what i'm talking about. i can't believe that i did what i did. i consider myself a loser, failure, and complete idiot for not being able to control myself. what i did was stupid and it didn't solve anything. it just made me feel even more down on myself. i need some comfort, guys. i'll just come out and say it. i feel like i'm slipping away from God. i need some help, you guys. thank you so much smile

I haven't been in this forum in awhile. Jsut remember that everything God does is for the good of His own chosen people. He could be using this to strengthen you and to try your faith. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28I'll be thinking and praying for you. If you would like to talk than feel free to send mea PM.

Also put on a good attitude even if its fake cause good attitudes seem to make other ppl happyer and that in turn can make you happyer (like the whole you smile at some one they smile at some one and so on a and so forth) the biggest thing you can do is stay in the Lord bad times will come and go but the Lord is eternal.

I've tried alot of churches. I live in the western sydney area, but will be moving soon anyway. It just hurts when I keep getting judged and labelled by people who don't even know me.
This quote is how I feel, the only difference is I'm tierd of people judging me on what they think they know about me.

I'm gay. I'm tryinjg not to be, but I currently am. I go to a church for blible studies, but I'm scared if I tell them I'm gay, they will tell me never to come back.
And I know that people don't like gays in the church, so I don't say anything, but at a VBS one year, I almost weas found out and well this is pointless and I don't know why I posted it, but I guess I needed to tell you guys this.

Guardian of the Sky I'm gay. I'm tryinjg not to be, but I currently am. I go to a church for blible studies, but I'm scared if I tell them I'm gay, they will tell me never to come back. And I know that people don't like gays in the church, so I don't say anything, but at a VBS one year, I almost weas found out and well this is pointless and I don't know why I posted it, but I guess I needed to tell you guys this. Well, I just want to start out by saying that I know a few people who said they were gay and lived the life style for years and thought that they couldn't change. They thought that God made them that way and so they figured why try to change. But through God's grace they found out through the word of God and through prayer that being gay is like any other sin and it can be overcome as well. They found forgiveness and victory and like any other sin they learned to overcome it through daily renewing of the mind through the word and through prayer. Let me tell you one thing, Jesus died for all sin and he knew you before you were created. He wants you to be free from all sin. He loves you and the truth can set you free. You have to believe. The devil is a liar and he is telling you that you can't change. Dont' listen to him. You have to fight the good fight of faith. I pray in Jesus name for you that you will look to Jesus to help you through this. Remember that on the cross he bore all sin and curses. He said "It is finished" Meaning sin has no hold on us anymore. You can do all things through Jesus. But first you have to confess it as sin and repent. If you can't talk to someone at your church about it. it ssounds to me like you need to find a church that won't judge you but will help you to overcome and be victorious. We are all sinners, saved by His grace and you would be surprised at what people struggle with. I believe that you can overcome this and then help others through it as well. Remember God can turn ALL things around for His glory. Don't be decieved by the enemy of your soul. Be encouraged and don't lose heart. Jesus loves you.
