He Wants Me To Be His Best Friend But He Is An Atheist. by Deckline(m): 2:29pm On Nov 04, 2018 |
Guys,i need your advice.. I really have been trying to grow spiritually. . I have been able to convince some few folks about Jesus except this particular guy. . He brought all scientific and philosophical theories to disprove the existence of God. The same nonsense the umbelievers here seem to do. Now he is telling me he would love me to be his best friend. . The bible says "be not unequally yoked together with umbelievers,for what fellowship hath light with darkness,or what communion hath Christ with Belial or what agreement hath the temple of God with idols". . . Friends please,i just need your opinion on this. . God bless! 1 Like |

Why does he want to be your best friend? |

Deckline: I believe he's cool with you, a little amused by you religious zeal, is a little older than you are, and would like for the both of you to share same ideology. Am I correct? |
Re: He Wants Me To Be His Best Friend But He Is An Atheist. by Deckline(m): 3:23pm On Nov 04, 2018 |
DeSepiero:He's two years older than me but i can't share same ideology with him. |

"Impressed by your argumentative prowess" Simply put the guy just wants to change you from a Christian to an atheist then use your fiery skills against Christianity.. Be guided |

Hello. You seem to me to have good instincts. It is not wrong to be friends with unbelievers - that passage you brought up speaks of getting into committed relationships with them which may require you to compromise your faith, like marriage and some kinds of binding contracts - but it is certainly not necessarily wise. As long as you both can respect the boundaries of your beliefs, friendship between a believer and an unbeliever could work. Who knows, the unbeliever may even be saved by your witness over time? But, as I said, it is certainly not something you should "just do". You have the Holy Spirit in you since you believe in the Lord Jesus. Listen to Him. He will guide you right. He knows whether such an association will serve your commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ or not. The rest of us can barely see the present clearly, much less the future. For my part, it is hard for me to keep close friends who are unbelievers. As much as I care for my unbelieving friends, there is always that line that we cannot cross to each other so it is kind of hard to be "normal, carefree friends" with each other. Grace remain with you, friend. |

He is anti-Christ. He will bleep all your Intelligence out of you before you become unsuitable for him. Love is of God. He loved us before we love Him. He gave Jesus that only those who love Him will have Eternal Life. And there is no greater Love than Jesus laying His Life for us. |

orunto27:Thank you very much for this. It is best for we christians to put things or people who have decided to become reprobates far away from us. Light and darkness cannot stay together. Thank you. 1 Like |

Ihedinobi3,thank you sir for your contribution. I keep umbelievers,atheists at arms length when talking about faith and human's fate. We talk on casual basis though and that is it. No strings. |

LoL. This is one cognitive dissonance I have come to find distasteful amongst religionists. Y'all assume unbelievers are incapable of love and affection then you meet someone who despite your differences, expresses genuine admiration and wants your friendship, you then turn around and blow him off because he is not your brand of religionist. Yet you'll go about spouting how you have the love of god. What a set of discombobulated humans. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: He Wants Me To Be His Best Friend But He Is An Atheist. by Deckline(m): 3:41pm On Nov 10, 2018 |
LordReed:No,you are mistaken. The bible says"love your neigbour as yourself".The bible also says"whoever does not love his brother abides in darkness".There are many scriptures which emphasized the preponderant role Love plays in the lives of christians. . My refusing his close rapport doesn't mean i don't love him. . The bible says "he who says he loves God and hates his brother is a liar for how can you hate your brother who you see and say you love God whom you haven't seen". . Do not be unequally yoked together with umbelievers. |

Deckline:This is the Word of God. If He is your Master, you'd take His warning seriously. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Psalm:1:1 Don't keep company of anyone who insults your father to your face. If he disrespects your father, what will he do to you? |

Deckline:Good. Stand by your faith. He doesn't have anything going for him, he wants to destroy yours. Ask yourself this. What do i stand to loose if i stand and die with Jesus? What is there to gain if i become Antichrist? Remember, all atheists are Antichrist. |

Deckline: You are a BELIEVER and converting innocent minds to accept JUSUS as their personal Savior But your Nairaland's signature indicated that you have been heartbroken in the past and refused to believed the only ULTIMATE law of your GOD ? How do you operate exactly ? |
Re: He Wants Me To Be His Best Friend But He Is An Atheist. by Anas09: 4:26pm On Nov 10, 2018 |
Deckline:Bros, the Most High hips no punishment for anyone. Just that the law of retributive justices catches up with offenders. Adam was given a choice to choose between Knowledge and Life. If he chose life, he'd live, if chose knowledge, he'd have rejected life, then he'd die. He chose Knowledge in the place of Life, so he died. God didn't punish him with sickness, old age and death, he chose them. |

kazyhm:So,do you judge me completely based on my siggy now I live by faith and not by my signature. |
Re: He Wants Me To Be His Best Friend But He Is An Atheist. by kazyhm(m): 4:29pm On Nov 10, 2018 |
Deckline: Yes. I'm judging as you're judging your supposed atheist friend Your belief should reflect in all you do |
Re: He Wants Me To Be His Best Friend But He Is An Atheist. by Deckline(m): 4:29pm On Nov 10, 2018 |
Anas09:The punishment i'm referring to is after death. Not karma or retribution of any kind. No mercy in hell. That is the punishment i'm talking about. |
Re: He Wants Me To Be His Best Friend But He Is An Atheist. by Deckline(m): 4:35pm On Nov 10, 2018 |
kazyhm:I never judged him. You are just twisting my words. As for my siggy,please don't even live by what you read about people. It could just be what it is "a signature" |
