What should I do

[Tom838]

What should I do if I've fallen in love with a jehovas witness but I'm a Christian? Should I pray about it and leave it with God while I may lose her? Idk what to do

[other one]

none of us should even try to tell you what to do......    Pray, pray, pray is the only thing that comes to mind.....   I think that would be the only safe thing for me to suggest.

When it comes to the matters of love, go to the One who is pure Love, not us.

My advice? Have nothing to do with her romantically or in any sort of partnership. No reason not to be a friend, if you can manage to make that distinction and not be influenced by her spiritually. As it stands, much of an alliance with her, can only serve to drag you down spiritually, but a divide between you and God. If she comes to Christ, the real Christ, not the Jesus of the Watchtower, and once she has been steadfast in that, has a track record of spiritual growth and maturity, then re-examine your options.

Now, you have to decide whether you really wanted advice, and are willing to do what you already know you should, or to listen and be ruled by your emotions instead. Praying for wisdom and strength for you, and asking others to join in that prayer.

ok thanks guys, i'll just have to distance myself from her and pray that God speaks truth into her heart

[AllTheGoodNamesAreTaken]

I would do as God leads me to ( not as instructed by a stranger ) , but also pray that truth is revealed to all. From there, it can be accepted or rejected by all who hear it. That's just me though.

I am actually impressed, that you would be willing to do that, so often people choose to go their own way, in matters of the heart, often wishing they had not later. Do not be discouraged though, if you are that devoted to God as first in your life, then if it is in His will for you to find a life partner, I am optimistic that He will find you the right one.

In my opinion, you are demonstrating extraordinary wisdom.

Invite her to ur church. Show her from bible why her views are wrong. See what happens. We know from OT that taking wives from other religion can cause husband to fall. Specially if that other religion is more rewarding or more pleasing. For example in OT there are some religions that involve having sex during the rituals which attracted many people from God of Israel to that god because of peoples lust after sex. The same way is with spiritual stuff.  I dont know what JW is exactly but being justified by works for example could be more rewarding than being justified by grace because if you are justified by works you would have something to boast about. Now that you are warned its up to you if you listen or ignore it. The consequences of ignoring this warning may affect your eternal life. So you need to know exactly what is the difference. And not be deceived. Dont accept any new info from her. Just show her whats wrong in JW and see how she reacts. Ask God to open her eyes for truth. If she refuses then refuse her also. I know it feels bad to be alone but but better be alone your earthly life which is around 80 years for male than eternity in hell with her. In earth there would be no communication at all with other people. It is place for punishment. Therefore even if she is next to you, you wont be getting any joy or relief from that. In fact it would probably make your suffering worse if you sit next to your loved one and not being able to even talk to her.

Blessings Tom.....

    I'm really not sure how the whole "falling in love" with this young lady started in the first place,,,,,the reason I am wondering is because you seem to understand that the Lord does advise us against being unequally yoked,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,as Omegaman has mentioned,we are warned that it only leads to our falling away or being separated from God Almighty,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,not that it is impossible for the unbeliever to be lead to Jesus through the one(Christian)

    I really don't like to stick my P's & Q's in something like this because I just don't know all the facts,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I have a dear friend of 35 years that is supposedly a JW & yet she believes Jesus is God,her Lord & Savior,reads a KJV & is married to a Christian,,,,,,,,she simply does not believe that Jesus was just a man or the angel Michael,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,they have been married over 30 years,before she came to know WHO Jesus is it was very difficult for the two of them,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    The question is & the most important factor"What is Gods Will for you?" This is something that only God can tell you & only you can ask Him,earnestly & willing to do what He will have you to do,,,,,,,,,,,,Perhaps it is through you that He will draw her unto Himself & to the foot of the cross & maybe NOT,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,It is easy to say'part ways" & I would like to tell you that but instead I will say that perhaps you can tell her that until you know Gods Will you cannot go any further,you must remain friends????? If she loves you then I think she will understand that your First Love is Jesus...............I know that if it were me I could not be with anyone who did not put God First,before me & they must be a Christian before I would even consider courtship,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Pray the Heart & Mind of Christ,Wisdom,Understanding & Guidance through the Holy Spirit,to God be the Glory in ALL things,,,,,,,,                       God Bless you,you are in my prayers                   With love-in Christ,Kwik
