I had an interest discussion with mum on the way home. It was related to BGR. It sort of came after I complain to mum about my unsuccessful attempt to find a job. ( I dunno how that happen)
Mum warned me not to get involved with any Non-Christian guys. In order to strengthen her so-called arguments, mum told me how her friend was suffering because she married a man who happens to be a non-Christian. Her marriage is now at the verge of breaking point. Well.. they are still legally married, just separated. And now her husband is just waiting for her to bring up the subject of divorce.
Mum also told me how her friend's daughter who also married a Non-Christian, she stopped going to church. And because she stop going to church, this affects her relationship with her parents.
Mum said Non-Christians will pull u down. No matter how nice/gentlemanly/honest they are, in the end each other's values and beliefs conflict each other. I sort of understand where mum's coming from. It's kinda hard for me because I had to turn down a few "nice" gestures from Non-Christian guys and I don't like to do that, especially when the feeling is mutual.
At that point, I reassured mum that I will only go out/date/get engaged/marry a Christian. That's one of my criteria for my future husband. Yeah, I think about this stuff.
LOL.
If for instance, something or someone wipe out all of the Christian men, I would rather go single and dateless and unmarried for the rest of my life. I don't need men to satisfy me because I have a greater relationship with the almighty God. I would not let anything affect this special bond between me and the Lord. That is the last thing I would ever give away.
"God will provide me with the right person".
Like how God brought mum and dad together. Looking back, I truly admire my parent's marriage and commitment to each other.
22 anniversary yrs baby and still going stronger than ever!!

For you to have that kind of say NO to 'Non-Christians' I guess it might be the biggest mistake for Christians. Heal the world and make it a better place, accepting each others without comparing your skin color, your race, your religion. I'm not a Christian myself, but I used to go to churches,and I have lots of friends no matter they are Christians or a Jewish, Muslim or Buddhist,etc.I truly believe in God. I believe there are Jesus, Buddha, Allah, and all those that were sent down to earth by God to teach us, to guide us, to protect us and their teaching are always kind. However, after decades, their teaching might be misused, mislead by man kind and that's when misunderstanding, conflicts arose among human about religions. If you'd say, God will only take care or watch over those that believed in Jesus, that's a mistake, or if you'd say, God will only take care or watch over those that trusted Buddha's teachings, that's a mistake as well. God is equal to all of us, no matter you're a Christian, or a Buddhist, or a Jewish, or Muslim if deep down your heart you're sincere.
I've seen Christians that cursed innocent little child, I've seen Christians that taught themselves Christians that, if any of those beside you who are not Christians, they are demons. In this, I don't think that's part of what Jesus will ever teach. I'm not talking about Christians only, of course including groups of those that could not accept other religions. Accepting each other, no matter who you are, that's what I called - Respect..But still, it depends on you, yourself, and those around us,themselves to translate teachings by God's representatives.
Accept my comment or not, it's up to you, yourself, how you 'translate' Jesus's teachings. I don't know you, and you don't know me, just saw your blog randomly.
Dearest anonymous, I think we'll got ourselves in a tangle here.
I am NOT, repeat NOT saying that Christians should ignore and neglect Non-Christians. I have Non-Christians friends myself and I treat them the same as I treat Christian fellowers. I DO NOT only mix with Christian people and I WOULD NEVER form a clique with only Christian people. The bible has taught us to reach out to Non-Christians. Christians are put on this Earth to save the lost and spread the gospel.
As a Christian, I am just cautious with who I am going to spend the rest of my life with. I prefer to live with someone who we share the same values and beliefs because I know that when beliefs clash, people will somehow go furthur apart and I am not willing to take the chance either with my relationship with God or with my future soul mate. And marriage is a big thing to me.
Unfortunately to say, I only know One God and that is the Almighty God. U may think different God's from different religions are all viewed as the same, one God. Fair enough. But I don't. To me, there's one God above the rest. I know different religion all have the same teaching, that is for peace and love. I will not question your beliefs and I will not put forward my arguments as to why I think there's only one God.
But, thank you for ur honesty.
