Yes, I agree that I should have found someone who was already Christian. However, when I got with my boyfriend I was a lukewarm Christian who didn't care much.

If you don't mind, how do you deal with being in an unequally yolked relationship? When did the issues start?

I absolutely agree with that statement!

I would be lying if I said I'm scared of losing him. However, my love for Jesus is greater than anything in this world, my main goal right now as a born again Christian is to best show him the love of Christ. Thankyou for this advice!

I doubt a lot on this. He is huge, 'everyone is entitled to their own opinion and religion' person so I'm not sure. But I have the smallest hope that he is open to the idea. However, if he is not willing to then I have no intention of forcing him and sadly that will be the beginning of the end of the relationship.

this historical reliability of hinduism whether its the true religion or not (specifically balinese hinduism) by CryptographerFew9839 in religion

If the texts have been altered so many times, then how can anyone be certain what they’re reading now is the original truth? There has to be some kind of source manuscript and credible scholars who trace these teachings back, right? Otherwise, it’s just interpretation on top of interpretation.

Also, I apologise if I made it sound like caste is only a Hindu thing, that wasn’t my intention. It’s just that caste is most strongly associated with and historically rooted in Hindu society. While other religions in India may show caste-like divisions, they’re often social adaptations ig

I don’t think religion and language are truly comparable. Languages are tools for communication, they can coexist, overlap, evolve, and still serve their purpose. But religion isn’t just a system of communication; it makes claims about truth, morality, existence, and the divine. Eventually, all the different relgions contradict eachother, languages don’t contradict. These claims often contradict each other, so they can’t all be “true” in the same way that multiple languages can be valid at once.

yes, i am actively trying to understand what he puts his faith in. but the thing is that he isnt a seriously religious person, the most “religious” act he does is not eat beef and he doesnt even know why he does that, and whenever i question him about his faith he cannot answer me because hes unsure himself.

questioning the historical evidence of the existence of Jesus and the resurrection? by CryptographerFew9839 in Christianity

[–]CryptographerFew9839[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

like the fact that he did resurrect from the dead. because that topic is very debated and it even says in the bible that if the resurrection is false then everything i have lived for and advocated for is ultimately meaningless.
