Best friend supports my religion?

Asked Nov 21, 2011, 07:59 PM — 73 Answers
my best friend likes me and I've known him for 5 yrs. one time we were having a conversation and he asks if there's a possiblity of us ever happening and i said yes but with uncertainty.or i would say yes and no. and he knew how indecisive i was but not the reasons why so i told him. i told him that I'm christian and i was looking for a guy of my similar faith because its a big part of who I am and i know that if I am in a serious relationship with someone with a different religious background than it would cause problems in the relationship. he says that hes catholic but that hes willing to support me and my religion. thing is i feel that hes just doing it because he likes me and wants me happy but if you are going to follow a religion just for me then isn't that wrong? shouldn't you follow a religion for yourself and because you want to? its great that hes supportive but i want to be in a long term relationship and i know that eventually its going to bother me and there's going to be conflicts. what can you guys suggest?

Summary For some couples, differences in religion can be a sensitive issue but it also can have no real consequence on a relationship (see personal examples below). In regards to this discussion, Catholicism can either be viewed as a subset organized by Christianity or two different entities with particular differences.

So your church is the only correct one, the only way to salvation? There are many Catholics and Lutherans and Methodists who believe in salvation through grace (not works), through Jesus Christ.

Wondergirl-i never said my church was the only correct one or the only way to salvation. only the blood of christ one truly can be saved. salvation is not found not in good works or in religion but in a person which is jesus.

Maybe before you consider anything reliable for the websites that were posted you need to just look at the home page.

Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to Heaven!

I also wonder what you might believe in if you happened to be born and raised in Japan, for example....or perhaps in Egypt, or India?

Im not so sure I would follow the teachings of a man that has to hide because he is a child molester. Very odd choice to be making if you ask me.

This is the man that owns the website you refered to. And is preaching in the videos.

Again, I have to wonder what you would believe if you were born elsewhere. You happened to be born in Florida and raised in a Christian household. Most people follow the beliefs that they were raised to believe in.

What do you think becomes of those who were born and raised in China.....Iran.....Morocco.....Japan, etc., where Christianity is not the most common religion?

In response to your original question.....if you feel that your beliefs would be in direct conflict with this man's, and that you would not be able to be accepting of his beliefs, then don't marry him.

Just remember that acceptance does not have to mean agreeing. Most couples will find that they have differences that they will need to accept...or just agree to disagree.

Don't even get into a serious relationship with him if you don't believe it will be what you are looking for.
