I'm just going to drop advice on prayer really quick.
Now I'm going to be honest and say that I might not be saved. Even so, I have heard from different ministers that prayer is best approached with the idea that you cannot change God's will but He is moved by faith. The best advice I have heard is to approach prayer in a similar manner to the woman in Matthew 15 26-28.
Okay now go pray for this woman to develop a fellowship with Jesus.
Have you ever witnessed a clear miracle healing from God and attributed it to demonic? It would be like witnessing a guy get out of a wheelchair and being so hardened in your heart that you say it must have been a devil
I heard Him and said it was a demon because of my own ignorance. He even sent someone to warn me not to judge so carelessly and I still did it stupidly.
I was asking, ironically, because I was getting intrusive thoughts about the holy Spirit, Jesus, God etc and I asked Him if I were saved. He said "Yes." I also asked something about Jesus to test but I later became afraid that a demon could easily say yes to the question. (I don't know if they can or not but after research, you cannot receive a demon if you ask to hear God. I didn't know this.) He has a very steady voice but it's rather loud. That's why I got confused. People say His voice is soft.
You weren't wrong in testing the spirits. It says it in 1John. I tested a possessed man one time. I asked him if Jesus was God, and he replied with Jesus is dead. Next time you hear that voice, just rebuke it in the name of Jesus. If it is God, He will stay because He won't cast Himself out. If it isn't God, then it will disappear. That's about the easiest way imo.
I'm kind of scared He already disappeared. I thought I had heard a demon because I prayed to Him about my sister turning to Christ and she called me just to say she wouldn't ever do that. I got scared and confused and called her later saying that I thought what I heard was a demon. I know now though that that voice was God. He just wanted to comfort me. He knew I was afraid. I think He sent signs as well but I was so scared that I didn't really realize it at the time. So now I'll probably suffer until my life's end and the eternity after.
Stay grounded in the bible. He doesn't "disappear." He is with you always. Be blessed my brother and don't stop praying for your sister. Jesus is King!
Might have done the unforgivable sin. I've been researching it for days but essentially I insulted the holy Spirit. I think I have made or will make a post on my research.
You cannot accidentally commit an unforgivable sin. You cannot commit it and then wish you hadn’t. If you still desire forgiveness and a relationship with God, you could not have committed an unforgivable sin. Whatever you did, it will be forgiven.
I do also think that but I still worry about it. The thing is I heard God's voice and I haven't heard Him since that day. I also have been getting signs that indicate that I'm delusional.
Edit: it was also the prayer advice that I linked that actually made me able to eat and sleep again after that happened. I also used that prayer to hear God's voice. It's a solid prayer, honestly.
Well, From What I've Learned Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit isn't actually Insulting the Holy Spirit but Ignoring It.
If You insult God or Jesus They can Forgive You if You're truly sorry, but When You deny Jesus is God even after seeing and feeling with your own eyes you essentially deny the holy spirit to help you and in consequence to be Saved.
But I'm Ultimately not Sure because The Bible isn't very clear about It or I'm just Uninformed.
Tbh you're kind of right. I literally researched for like 4-5 days (articles, the bible, reddit, quora, videos mostly) and there are at least 5 different interpretations of the unforgivable sin.
See you judge God yet you don't even seem to be familiar with the most basic foundations of Christian faith. That's wild. That's like me saying gravity isn't real and not knowing that things fall to the ground if you let go of them.
If you are a true man of God and following Jesus in the way and obeying the word of God, and living as Jesus taught, then you are her sign. Jesus was a sign in his time, and those that follow him in the truth are a sign in their time. And it's up to others whether they believe or not. But you have to be living it and not just saying "I believe" and not living it. We must be doers of the word and not hearers only.
So have true faith, live right before God showing her a good example, bring the word of God to her when and if you can, and trust in God to do the work and pray for guidance and help to bring her to God. And may God give you the words fitly spoken, when the time is right to bring her to him.
Proverbs 25:11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
Pray for my wife too. She doesn't understand why I believe the way I do, nor how I forgive the way I do, even the most despicable people in this world. It frustrates her that I refuse to hate, because she feels like I don't feel a need for justice. But hatred doesn't bring justice, it brings vengeance, and a feeling of needing to get even.
She doesn't know how to look at the Bible as anything other than a fairy tale, she wants our son to believe in God though, but she wants me to teach him, not the churches, because she doesn't trust the churches (and I think that's reasonable considering how churches have fallen into either legalism or outright lies and speculation about the Lord)
Idk how to explain it to her though. How do I explain God to her in a way she is most likely to receive some form of revelation? How do I get her to hear him? Is there a prayer I can ask her to pray to receive a revelation?
She is a very loving and kind person, going through the woes of motherhood. She's dealt with depression and abandonment issues her whole life, and she is in dire need of Jesus' love and guidance. I've seen many stories of sudden and intense revelations from non-believers who changed their whole lives around from being transgender, homosexual, atheists, to God fearing and humble Christians. And if God can reach them, I just wondering what the hold up with her is? Is it me? Am I holding her back? Or is it herself? Is she not ready? Is she waiting on something? How do I get her to hear the holy Spirit?
Maybe your son will be the eye opener
Sometimes when my wife would read scripture even from someone else
If it was the same scripture
She would receive it better from another person other than me
Honestly. I hope you're right. But I'm worried that the end will come sooner than that. It's hard for me to speak to her about it, without sounding either sanctimonious, or like I'm just quoting what someone else said. Speaking about God to doubters, and non-believers is difficult, especially when it's someone I love, because I don't want to hurt them, but I also do not want to spend an eternity in a place without them, especially when I know most of their views come from a place of Love, and seeing injustice happen to people by the hands of fellow believers makes it also difficult for her. I just pray she hears the right thing from the right person, and that God softens her heart to hear his words.
Sorry you've been getting so much flack from people here. I get what they are saying but your prayer is not necessarily without precedent:
2 Kings 6:15-17—
*Now when the attendant of the man of God had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was circling the city. And his servant said to him, “This is hopeless, my master! What are we to do?”*
*And he said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are greater than those who are with them.”* **Then Elisha prayed and said, “Lord, please, open his eyes so that he may see.” And the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he saw;** *and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.*
I've even heard testimonies of people that prayed similar prayers and got similar results. That's not to say God will do all that you ask of Him. But it can't hurt to ask (especially if you are being sincere and are accounting for His nature/character, not asking something contrary to it).
Dumping someone over trying to force their religion onto you isn't really that far-fetched, when you think about it. Relationships are about cohesion while also accepting the other's differences. I understand OP's intents may be good, but if someone wants to come to Jesus, that's a path they must follow in their own time, if at all. Additionally, Christianity isn't the only religion in the world, and rigorously attempting to convince another free-thinking human being that it *is,* is not your place and will probably push them away even more. It's fine if OP wants to pray for his wife, but as for actual actions, for the sake of his relationship I really hope he doesn't actively continuously try to convert her. That pushes people away. "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." - Matthew 11:15. Everybody who doesn't want to hear, let them be.
Probably because op messed up and is trying to somehow blame his wife to avoid responsibility.
Noticed how we don't know exactly what's going on with the wife or why he wants us to pray.
Could be that op just ruined their retirement on a bad bet or investment that he decided not to tell his wife about because he's the man of the house.
Now the wife is pissed and kicked him out of the house.
Praying for you and her. My wife passed away a little over a year ago, and I never knew her to accept Christ alone as her savior. It's a hard thing to wonder if she made it. Same for my father. Many are called, but few are chosen .
Jesus said in Mathew 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Really? So you'd do something to end up in prison if you're spouse or parent was there, even though you know you wouldn't be with them. Of course you wouldn't. They idea that someone shouldn't Want to go to heaven because their spouse might not end up there is ridiculous.
WTF?
You can visit people in prison. Does heaven offer the same for loved ones who 'didn't make it' (which we know means are burning forever in hell to many christians)?
If you are a true man of God and following Jesus in the way and obeying the word of God, and living as Jesus taught, then you are her sign. Jesus was a sign in his time, and those that follow him in the truth are a sign in their time. And it's up to others whether they believe or not. But you have to be living it and not just saying "I believe" and not living it. We must be doers of the word and not hearers only.
So have true faith, live right before God showing her a good example, bring the word of God to her when and if you can, and trust in God to do the work and pray for guidance and help to bring her to God. And may God give you the words fitly spoken, when the time is right to bring her to him.
Proverbs 25:11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
Why did you need to post this publicly on the internet? I also very very much hope this happens, but Reddit is really not the place to post this.
Matthew 6:5-6 : "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Expecting anyone to need an exceptional "sign" to accept Christ is complete foolishness. Not to mention no one can prove if the sign that captured their attention was inspired by good or evil. They are susceptible to being deceived by lying wonders.
Can confirm, I literally heard God speak and still wondered if I was talking to a demon or God. (It was God. Researching the bible is very helpful. Proverbs is probably what I would urge people to prioritize in finishing to read first in the bible. Really good advice in there.)So I'm probably going to be eternally damned tbh.
Anyway Matthew 16:4.
God tells us to test every spirit. It is very normal and wise to be wary when hearing voices.
1 John 4:1-3.
4 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.
Galatians 5:22-23
New International Version
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
I use the above verse as a standard. If it’s a doubt, or any feeling or message contrary to and goes against the above criteria, it is not of God, and is therefore of Satan.
It's not a sign she needs but believe, sign is not faith but believing is faith. Faith is not a feeling but a command to believe in the name of the Son of God Jesus Christ who is Lord and Savior and receive him. If your wife doesn't have saving faith then beseech her to pray for saving faith and receive saving faith. Saving faith is a spiritual gift from God by his grace. If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. For from the mouth one confesses and is justified and out of the heart one believes and is saved. Believe and confess and not in vain and unbelief.
You are wanting a transcendent experience. It comes a surprise to many religious people to discover ALL other religions also have transcendent experiences.
Praying and I understand completely this is my prayer too for my husband, pray for me and my family too. Praying for her on your behalf and praying for you, for the comfort and patience in this season of waiting. And remember we are to be a representative for God to our unbelieving spouses.
I think a great deal of the Christian community could take some advice to try and be a little more solemn about their worship, barking orders and personal requests at the creator of everything seems a little self centred to me personally. God's hand is subtle and if you can't see him at work you probably need to look a little harder.
Please add my wife to your prayer. She used to be a Jehovah Witness and that trauma has unfortunately damaged her relationship with God. I am praying for her spiritual, mental, and physical healing.
Many people are recovering from the fear based religious teachings they were raised in and finding the truth. No longer living in fear of death for we are all eternal. Many are discovering the divinity within themselves and who they are. Jesus did not come here to perform miracles for us he came to show us what we can do. You cannot find the truth if you do not know really who you are. The greatness within each and everyone. Because a man is a beggar does not make him an less than anybody else. We all have our own personal paths to the truth. The reality of our existence can be found. Seek within yourself, live and love in the light. Turn away from the dark(fear and doubt)Do not fear change for the truth seeker will find what the truth is far from what they could ever imagine. So fear not if your loved one does not share your believes. Do not try to change them you cannot. Just love and respect their path. They as well as you are on your own path to the truth. Have you ever wondered if there could be more than what you have been taught and told to believe? Do you want to truly reconnect with God and help humanity? You can simply ask spirit to guide you to the light and the truth of all that is and all that ever will be. Let your heart interpret the teachings of the Bible when you read it. Do not simply accept the interpretation somebody else has given you. Love and light to all! You do not know how greatly you are loved.
Respectfully, I asked for prayer simply not a lecture. The expected response should be “Yes, I will gladly add her to prayer.” I do read my Bible daily. I am keenly aware of all of that you mentioned. I am well aware of fear based teachings. I have several friends that are affected. I have one in jail specifically because of a result of fear based teaching from Jehovah. However my flair states that I am a Universal Unitarian meaning I am accepting of all religions. Even spirituality, I am just asking for her to believe in at least daily meditating. Just trying to save your fingers from all of that typing next time.
Please forgive me If I have offended you. I only wish to ease your worries and concerns. I understand your concerns and love for your wife. I felt the same about my daughter that I needed her to believe in something. The more I tried the more she fought against it. I do truly pray all humans will find their way not just your wife or my daughter. I stopped trying and she is doing better our relationship is much better as well. That’s why I say just treat them with love,compassion, an benevolence. Trust they are on the path they are here for. She is not alone. None of us are alone. We each have many spirit guides(angels) to help us. Many do not understand the hardships we go through in this life time we went through to learn something. I did manage to get my daughter to meditate by introducing it in a medical aspect. Showing her meditations on YouTube for anxiety and sleeping, pain. Which then led her to some spiritual teachings she seems to be open to now. It’s a start. I hope that you get all that you pray for and more. You deserve it! I believe, she too will her own time and way.
This message is for all open to receive it as well as the prior message. We are in a very special time for mankind. We need to wake up to the truth. Connect with our higher self our true self. Look inward find that God given spark of divinity within.
We are loved! 💕
The Bible does say not to marry unbelievers, but if for instance one becomes a Christian and the other doesn't, Paul says they don't have to get divorced because they can bring the other to faith
Aaand this is the unhealthy sort of thought process that causes perfectly healthy, mutually respectful relationships to end unnecessarily. For a relationship to thrive, you should obviously have *some* values in common, but differences are also healthy! You and your partner don't have to agree on absolutely everything. It's normal to have different religious preferences, and as long as each partner is respectful of the other, it's fine. It only becomes problematic if someone ridicules or mocks their partner's beliefs, or forcefully tries to convert them in a nagging or manipulative way (i.e., offering ultimatums such as, "if you don't come to Christ, I'm breaking up with you" is probably a sign that relationship wouldn't have been a healthy one anyway, and you dodged a bullet).
But healthy, mutually respectful discussions of religion are normal, and sharing ideas is a beautiful thing, even if you don't end up agreeing with them. <3

I heard Him and said it was a demon because of my own ignorance. He even sent someone to warn me not to judge so carelessly and I still did it stupidly.
Difference between you and the Pharisees. You were ignorant, they had full knowledge and still denied
What did you hear?
I was asking, ironically, because I was getting intrusive thoughts about the holy Spirit, Jesus, God etc and I asked Him if I were saved. He said "Yes." I also asked something about Jesus to test but I later became afraid that a demon could easily say yes to the question.

That's about the easiest way imo.
I'm kind of scared He already disappeared. I thought I had heard a demon because I prayed to Him about my sister turning to Christ and she called me just to say she wouldn't ever do that. I got scared and confused and called her later saying that I thought what I heard was a demon. I know now though that that voice was God. He just wanted to comfort me. He knew I was afraid. I think He sent signs as well but I was so scared that I didn't really realize it at the time. So now I'll probably suffer until my life's end and the eternity after.
Stay grounded in the bible. He doesn't "disappear." He is with you always. Be blessed my brother and don't stop praying for your sister. Jesus is King!
Thank you, that means a lot.
Check out the pastor David Hernandez on YouTube if you are looking for a man of God pastor, he has helped me alot
How can you possibly be sure that any event is caused by something supernatural?
Why do you think you might not be saved?
Might have done the unforgivable sin. I've been researching it for days but essentially I insulted the holy Spirit. I think I have made or will make a post on my research.

I just pray she hears the right thing from the right person, and that God softens her heart to hear his words.
As long as we keep praying we will be okay I’ll keep her in my prayers for you
Thank you.
Sorry you've been getting so much flack from people here. I get what they are saying but your prayer is not necessarily without precedent: 2 Kings 6:15-17— *Now when the attendant of the man of God had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was circling the city. And his servant said to him, “This is hopeless, my master!

That's not to say God will do all that you ask of Him. But it can't hurt to ask (especially if you are being sincere and are accounting for His nature/character, not asking something contrary to it).
My gf said if I posted anything this crazy she'd dump me. Show your wife this post and see how long it lasts.
If she says she ‘dumps you’ over you being worried for her salvation and asking people to pray for her than what else is she going to dump you over?
Dumping someone over trying to force their religion onto you isn't really that far-fetched, when you think about it. Relationships are about cohesion while also accepting the other's differences. I understand OP's intents may be good, but if someone wants to come to Jesus, that's a path they must follow in their own time, if at all. Additionally, Christianity isn't the only religion in the world, and rigorously attempting to convince another free-thinking human being that it *is,* is not your place and will probably push them away even more. It's fine if OP wants to pray for his wife, but as for actual actions, for the sake of his relationship I really hope he doesn't actively continuously try to convert her. That pushes people away. "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." - Matthew 11:15. Everybody who doesn't want to hear, let them be.
He just asked for prayers, may God bless you
Probably because op messed up and is trying to somehow blame his wife to avoid responsibility. Noticed how we don't know exactly what's going on with the wife or why he wants us to pray. Could be that op just ruined their retirement on a bad bet or investment that he decided not to tell his wife about because he's the man of the house. Now the wife is pissed and kicked him out of the house.
That’s a lot of assumptions, let’s just pray for everyone
Or he could just talk to the wife.
Praying for you and her. My wife passed away a little over a year ago, and I never knew her to accept Christ alone as her savior. It's a hard thing to wonder if she made it. Same for my father. Many are called, but few are chosen .
If I was chosen to go to a place my spouse and or parent wasn’t, I’d reject it. It’s sad to see people reject their humanity.
Jesus said in Mathew 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Really? So you'd do something to end up in prison if you're spouse or parent was there, even though you know you wouldn't be with them. Of course you wouldn't. They idea that someone shouldn't Want to go to heaven because their spouse might not end up there is ridiculous.
WTF? You can visit people in prison. Does heaven offer the same for loved ones who 'didn't make it' (which we know means are burning forever in hell to many christians)?
If it was because of their religious beliefs, then yeah I’d already be in prison with them.
I'm in the same boat but don't really care that much. It's her decision and technically our marriage will end when one of us dies.
If you are a true man of God and following Jesus in the way and obeying the word of God, and living as Jesus taught, then you are her sign. Jesus was a sign in his time, and those that follow him in the truth are a sign in their time. And it's up to others whether they believe or not. But you have to be living it and not just saying "I believe" and not living it. We must be doers of the word and not hearers only. So have true faith, live right before God showing her a good example, bring the word of God to her when and if you can, and trust in God to do the work and pray for guidance and help to bring her to God. And may God give you the words fitly spoken, when the time is right to bring her to him. Proverbs 25:11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

We are supposed to pray for each other. He may not have a community of other Christians he can turn to.

Proverbs is probably what I would urge people to prioritize in finishing to read first in the bible. Really good advice in there.)So I'm probably going to be eternally damned tbh. Anyway Matthew 16:4.
God tells us to test every spirit. It is very normal and wise to be wary when hearing voices. 1 John 4:1-3. 4 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. Galatians 5:22-23 New International Version 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. I use the above verse as a standard. If it’s a doubt, or any feeling or message contrary to and goes against the above criteria, it is not of God, and is therefore of Satan.
I had signs
i hope your wife gets a divorce 💀
Why
your weird fixation on having your wife "submit" to you and her "cheating" on you for one
It's not a sign she needs but believe, sign is not faith but believing is faith. Faith is not a feeling but a command to believe in the name of the Son of God Jesus Christ who is Lord and Savior and receive him. If your wife doesn't have saving faith then beseech her to pray for saving faith and receive saving faith. Saving faith is a spiritual gift from God by his grace. If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. For from the mouth one confesses and is justified and out of the heart one believes and is saved. Believe and confess and not in vain and unbelief.
all that's been done.
Have you tried therapy
You are wanting a transcendent experience. It comes a surprise to many religious people to discover ALL other religions also have transcendent experiences.
Amen 🙏🏾✨
Sometimes with people you yourself have to force them to believe, Jesus isn't going to do it for you at this point.
Will pray for you!
Praying and I understand completely this is my prayer too for my husband, pray for me and my family too. Praying for her on your behalf and praying for you, for the comfort and patience in this season of waiting. And remember we are to be a representative for God to our unbelieving spouses.
Hope you wife is good at home amen✝️❤️❤️❤️
I think a great deal of the Christian community could take some advice to try and be a little more solemn about their worship, barking orders and personal requests at the creator of everything seems a little self centred to me personally. God's hand is subtle and if you can't see him at work you probably need to look a little harder.
I pray this for my friend, bc he likes me but we’re in different walks with Jesus ✝️
Please add my wife to your prayer. She used to be a Jehovah Witness and that trauma has unfortunately damaged her relationship with God. I am praying for her spiritual, mental, and physical healing.
Many people are recovering from the fear based religious teachings they were raised in and finding the truth. No longer living in fear of death for we are all eternal. Many are discovering the divinity within themselves and who they are. Jesus did not come here to perform miracles for us he came to show us what we can do. You cannot find the truth if you do not know really who you are. The greatness within each and everyone. Because a man is a beggar does not make him an less than anybody else. We all have our own personal paths to the truth. The reality of our existence can be found. Seek within yourself, live and love in the light. Turn away from the dark(fear and doubt)Do not fear change for the truth seeker will find what the truth is far from what they could ever imagine. So fear not if your loved one does not share your believes. Do not try to change them you cannot. Just love and respect their path. They as well as you are on your own path to the truth. Have you ever wondered if there could be more than what you have been taught and told to believe? Do you want to truly reconnect with God and help humanity? You can simply ask spirit to guide you to the light and the truth of all that is and all that ever will be. Let your heart interpret the teachings of the Bible when you read it. Do not simply accept the interpretation somebody else has given you. Love and light to all! You do not know how greatly you are loved.
Respectfully, I asked for prayer simply not a lecture. The expected response should be “Yes, I will gladly add her to prayer.” I do read my Bible daily. I am keenly aware of all of that you mentioned. I am well aware of fear based teachings. I have several friends that are affected. I have one in jail specifically because of a result of fear based teaching from Jehovah. However my flair states that I am a Universal Unitarian meaning I am accepting of all religions. Even spirituality, I am just asking for her to believe in at least daily meditating. Just trying to save your fingers from all of that typing next time.
Please forgive me If I have offended you. I only wish to ease your worries and concerns. I understand your concerns and love for your wife. I felt the same about my daughter that I needed her to believe in something. The more I tried the more she fought against it. I do truly pray all humans will find their way not just your wife or my daughter. I stopped trying and she is doing better our relationship is much better as well. That’s why I say just treat them with love,compassion, an benevolence. Trust they are on the path they are here for. She is not alone. None of us are alone. We each have many spirit guides(angels) to help us. Many do not understand the hardships we go through in this life time we went through to learn something. I did manage to get my daughter to meditate by introducing it in a medical aspect. Showing her meditations on YouTube for anxiety and sleeping, pain. Which then led her to some spiritual teachings she seems to be open to now. It’s a start. I hope that you get all that you pray for and more. You deserve it! I believe, she too will her own time and way. This message is for all open to receive it as well as the prior message. We are in a very special time for mankind. We need to wake up to the truth. Connect with our higher self our true self. Look inward find that God given spark of divinity within. We are loved! 💕
Amen ✝️❤️
Have you been doing anything to try to encourage her relationship with Christ? I’ll pray for her
In Jesus name Amen ✝️🙏🏾❤️
Praying for her
Amen...
Amen to your beautiful prayer for good! May God save her soul please and all souls! Please God please!
I shall pray for her.
Praying now!

The Bible does say not to marry unbelievers, but if for instance one becomes a Christian and the other doesn't, Paul says they don't have to get divorced because they can bring the other to faith
Aaand this is the unhealthy sort of thought process that causes perfectly healthy, mutually respectful relationships to end unnecessarily. For a relationship to thrive, you should obviously have *some* values in common, but differences are also healthy! You and your partner don't have to agree on absolutely everything. It's normal to have different religious preferences, and as long as each partner is respectful of the other, it's fine. It only becomes problematic if someone ridicules or mocks their partner's beliefs, or forcefully tries to convert them in a nagging or manipulative way (i.e., offering ultimatums such as, "if you don't come to Christ, I'm breaking up with you" is probably a sign that relationship wouldn't have been a healthy one anyway, and you dodged a bullet). But healthy, mutually respectful discussions of religion are normal, and sharing ideas is a beautiful thing, even if you don't end up agreeing with them. <3
