How do you know when it's safe to get out personal info?

[Guest]

No, he's not Christian...he's "another" religion.

He "seems" to be a decent fellow, but just the fact that he keeps asking is waving a red flag in front of me.

Run~!

I believe caution is wise when dating someone. I really think people should get to know each other as friends before they start dating in the first place. I am young and only 18 but I think that if you are uncomfortable giving out personal info then it is fine to keep it to your self until you feel like you can. No reason to give out something when you don't have to.

Now that i see this person is not a Christian like fresno said I would advise getting out of a personal relationship with him. It is not a good idea to get personal with non christians you are only asking for trouble that way.

He said people should be more tolerant of other faiths and that we could/should accept our differences and follow our own beliefs.

There are two issues with that. First, your faith says those who don't follow it (and it's my faith, too) aren't going to Heaven. If you get to a point in the relationship where you love this person, you are going to try to change him. Frankly, you should try to set him on the right path now. But, second, once you get into a deeper relationship, a marriage, say, or even just more serious dating, religion is going to be an issue, whether he says so or not. Primarily, this will be because of the for-mentioned duty to convert (hey, Jesus said it, not me), but it will also cause you issues with your own faith. You're inviting doubt into your life. If he says this makes you intolerant, fine. I've been called worse things by better people, and I'm sure you have, too.

Point taken.

However, I would never convert religions.

People don't appreciate being made to change. Just as I wouldn't, he wouldn't either.

Most likely I won't marry the guy, so right now I'm more concerned about my safety and privacy than deeper issues.

You are playing with fire and putting your spiritual well being at risk. You may not convert as you put it, but you will find yourself being compromised over serving God. There are plenty of problems associated with a Christian getting involved romantically with a non Christian, it will all end in tears sooner or later.

Do not listen to the lies of Satan, lies like

He called our Beloved Lord Jesus a lier!

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 14:6

Waltzing Down The Broad Road To Hell.

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Matthew 7:13-15

Baby Sister, I think you might consider running away from this club and from this guy.

You could lose your heart and spend your life in tears for your husband and for your children.

Whatever you decide, do know your Worthy family will kneel beside you in prayer for you and for your loved ones.

Whatever else you decide, I strongly encourage you make a post with this fellow's first name and a pray request for his salvation at The Worthy Prayer Team!

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Romans 5:1-2

You Go Sis!

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:

The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.

Numbers 6:24-27

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Jude 1:24-25

Love, Your Brother Joe

This is the Number 1 warning flag! Others have posted on this point and they are right. This is both from a Biblical and from experience in life. While I didn't marry an unbeliever, I did have an unsaved roommate during my backslidden days and it was the worst thing I could have done. Ultimately I wound up strung out on drugs because of it. No -- it was not my roommates' fault -- it was mine because I was out of the Lord's will to begin with and because I was "unequally yoked" together with an unbeliever and this ALWAYS works out badly for the believer. Ultimately I made the choice to use drugs, but his influence did not help the situation.

As for the rest, if he seems too interested in where you live, etc. this is even more reason to RUN -- do not walk -- away from this guy. Whether you are looking for a relationship that will lead to marriage or not, the first place to look is in the faith. The Lord has someone out there for you, but we have to follow the Lord's plan in order to get there.

Praying for you, too.
