as I was not a Christian. She said I had to convert to Christianity if I wanted to be with her. In the end I refused and we broke up. If you were me, would u have converted?
BTW, her church is the CCC or Central Christian Church.
Hello. Some churches allow u to be with other religion people some churches discourages that.
But I am against idea of forcing other ppl to convert to a faith.
Your girlfriend is only a professed Christian not a true Christian.She should obey you and not be a feminist!
you sure she didn't dump you for a richer guy ?
I'll never convert! If I know she was christian, i would give up wooing her altogether, at the expense of staying single forever.

That's wad I would do if I am still a buddhist.
Using religious conversion as a reason for a relationship is never a good reason to continue one.
You are better off without her. Mixing religion into relationship is stupid

Some churches allow us to marry non believers. Not all churches say must convert to christianality then can be together.

Legally, in singapore, no churches can stop believers from marrying non believers. Although some churches will not want to conduct such marriage (between believers/non-believers) ceremony. In any case, there is nothing to stop them from going to ROM to register their marriage and have it officated before a civil registrar.
I guess the most important thing is to resolve any conflicts between the couple of different religions.
I have seen couples who had come to an agreement to respect each other religion and learn more about them without trying to convert each other, and also the religion of the children is another issue they need to resolve before getting married.
to all the christians
simple put...who created love and r/s? God di, rite? at elast tahts what we are supposed to believe...so since we also believe that God is a perfect God who is never wrong, when He says in 2 Cor 6:14 not to be unequally yoked, do you tink he didnt understand enuff abt love and r/s to tell that to us?
who would understand sth better? the maker of that sth or the oneswho merely use/follow whatever the maker has made? When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, who else understood how a light bulb worked better than Edison himself? when the Wright brothers made the 1st airplane, who else understood the making s of an airplane better than them?

Let the child chose his own religion. See which one they like.
the problem with being unequally yoked arises due to 2 basic reasons...1) ppl often do not realised(even christians themselves) that love and r/s are part of a perfect God's creation...God Himself is love...worse, non-creationists would never tink along the line tat love and r/s were a result of creation...2) the emotional attachment they developed for each other causes them to stay tgr as a couple at the expense of the christian faith...the christian halves would turn to the fact that they and their spouses are still happy tgr after marriage and that christian couples do get divorced to validate that wad they did wasnt wrong...
to all christians, let not forget that it was God who made the 1st love r/s btw adam and eve...if He had not done that, adam being the 1st man will have no idea wad love was...

God repents. 6:6-7 from SAB.
There was a Christian told me God at first allowed incest (or else how to reproduce with just Adam & Eve), later God knew that he was wrong and he forbid it. So, does it mean God made mistake or that Christian who told me mistaken ?
the christian was mistaken cos humans are imperfect...be careful not to quote the bible out of context...
the moment tat christian suggested that God changed His mind, he is alredi believing in an imperfect God...tat is contrary to the fundamentals of christianity...juz like if a buddhist comes to u and say tat actually buddha tot he was enlightened but turn out, he wasnt...do u still call this person a buddhist and sound in his understanding of buddhism?

She did gave you a choice if you really want to be together with her, all you need to do is to convert.
Who asked you to abandon her and refused to convert?
Who asked you to use your relationship as bargaining chips to argue with her?
If you had made up your mind not to be together with her and lost the relationship due to your miscalculated gamble, why you come here and whine about it?
Do you think you will be happier with her if you had AGREED to convert?
If not, then why do you come here and whine when you have lost your gamble after you have placed your relationship at risks, using it as a bargaining chip against your girlfriend?
Maybe now you will learn something, BE PREPARED TO LOSE SHOULD YOU THINK THAT YOU COULD USE YOUR RELATIONSHIP AS A BARGAINING CHIP.

Congratulations ! You have made the right choice. Why place both your present life and future life at stake ? Both of you have not married yet and you do not know whether she make a good wife. You are a smart guy.
Not all christian forced the other half to convert one. The church i currently attend never force any conversion. U can marry non-believers.
Some churches discourage relationship with non believers but not all churches.

respond to who? Threadstarter? I am against christians forcing conversion. Wad's else can I say? I cant control other christians.
One problem of forced conversion is they wont be genuine believers.
