I have had such a fantastic day! For the longest time I have been worrying about the guy who brought me to Jesus because he isn't a strong chrisitan him self and he is in a relationship that I was concerned about because she refuses to live as a christian but tonight God really reasured me that he would take care of it. His girl friend was going on and on accidently saying she didn't want to live a godly life and my friend looked so embarassed, I'd never been so happy. He stood during worship and he just really impressed me tonight and I'm always overly happy on tuesdays, but tonight was extra good. I love you guys! I'm going to go meander around the internet, then I'm going to bed, I just wanted to share that I had a fantastic day.
I wrote a poem about when I realized God was going to take care of it...I'll post it.

1) Just 'cause your in a relationship doesn't mean that your partner has to have the same beliefs as you. I mean, it's okay to want that but you can't say that she isn't right for him or whatever just because of that. You can't force someone to change their beliefs or to actually have a belief by just saying, "Be like me, believe in God or I'm dumping you." It's just not right.
2)Your happy because your friend was embarrased?

No the reason it worried me and made me mad was because she says she's a christian when her main plan is to have sex and I don't want him to fall back into that life. he left like a year ago so he could get his act together and he came back to face anything he ran from, so I'm just worried he'll fall back into his old distructive habits.
And it made me happy because it showed me that he knows what it means to be a christian so that when he's ready to really live like that, he'll know what to change.

Just 'cause your Christian doesn't mean you can't have sex. People make choices and they don't always rely on their religios beliefs to make a choice.

believing in God and being a christian are not one in the same, If you belive in God, fine, even the demons do, but if you are a christian, you stive to be christ-like and live a Godly life in partial payment for Jesus' death which gave us all the chance for salvation. So if you are a christian, a true christian, you can't have pre-merital sex because its wrong and goes agaisnt your faith. Yeah, technicly because niether of them are really christian they could, but they know thats not what God wants and they'll do it anyway. God isn't fond of that direct defiance.

So you'd basically deal with a problem or anything the way you think God would want? What if you know what God wants but YOU don't want it. You can't live every second of your life thinking and living ina way that God would want.

See but I love God and I'm so thankful to Jesus that what God wants is what I want. Be faithful is rarely a chore or painful because my love and graditude. Jesus died for me and God spends and has spent all eterinty watching over us, why shouldn't I live my life by his wants? They're moraly right and any rate.

So if God told you to kill someone would you do it? Would that be morally right? And tell me, if he's so powerful and merciless why do so many people in the world suffer when they don't deserve it? Is that all part of his perfect world and way of life?

God wouldn't ask me to kill someone when he can do it himself. People suffer because the world belongs to satan. Satan has power too, hes just weaker than God. God's perfect world has come and gone and will come again when Jesus comes back.

I wouldn't exactly call it a perfect world when Jesus was down here. Things didn't exactly have a happy ending.

The come and gone I was refering to was before the fall of man when Adam would walk with God in the cool of the evening.
