Bible Question (short): How do I tell if she is Christian? |
Question (full): I have a girlfriend who says she is a Christian. I told her when we first met that I could not date her because she was not a christian. But, since she was 'after me', she retorted, "How do You know that I am not a christian? I was raised as a Baptist" So I thought I would give her a chance. We began to date, and now it has been two years. She has helped me much and I likewise, so we mainly get along good, but she does not act like a christian, such as she does not go to church with me as often as she should but has worldly excuses and complains about the sevice (during the service) when we go do to church together. (this can be embarrassing) She will not discuss much biblical issues with me either. I say she is going to church for the wrong reasons, and am about to break off with her. But I think that I would be doing more harm to God's Kingdom by not bringing her to church when able. My other thoughts are that the enemy is trying to keep me away from church and using her to do it. I have in fact missed more days since we have been together because of issues that surround her. She does seem to be growing spiritually, (albeit slightly) but sometimes she shows that there has been no progress made at all. Am I wrong for thinking this way? |
