CHRISTAIN GUY
We often receive questions along the lines of: "I am interested in two different guys...which one should I choose to be my boyfriend?" Or, "I am in a relationship and my girlfriend did/said '_____'; so, should I break up with her?" These types of questions are very difficult for us to answer. GotQuestions.org is not a Christian relationship advice ministry. We will always strive to tell you what the Bible has to say about a given situation. However, in regards to relationship advice issues, the Bible rarely specifically addresses the situations we are asked about. The Bible is far more concerned with our relationship with God.We are very reluctant to give relationship advice. It is difficult to give wise counsel to a personal issue through an article. It is exceedingly difficult to give Christian relationship advice when we do not personally know the people involved, we are not receiving all of the details, and/or we are only receiving one side of the story. We do not presume to speak for God in giving authoritative relationship advice to Christians.
With that said, what is our advice? It is our advice that you speak with God about your relationship. Pray to the Lord, asking Him to clearly reveal to you what He would have you do (Philippians 4:6-7). Ask God to give you wisdom and discernment (James 1:5). God promises to grant prayer requests that are asked according to His will (1 John 5:14-15). Being wise and discerning are most definitely God's will. God wants you to make good relationship decisions. God desires Christians to be joyous and edified as a result of their relationships. If you ask God with an open heart and humble spirit, He will give you the relationship advice you need.
Finally, find wise counsel with mature Christians who have been married for many years and have walked with God all that time. Seek guidance from your pastor, elders or other mature church leaders. Their years of experience enable them to speak from wisdom and the knowledge of God in their lives.

we shouldn't have to ask people how to treat other people?
we shouldn't have to seek councel on how to Love.
Biggest problem in the body of Christ is this
to much legalism and dication and not enough
allowing the flow of God's Love in our lives
that one thing acted out daily prayer for
God's Spirit or Love
we should know how to love
how to fix problems
and how to deal with evil
in our lives
this act has done wonders for me
it can for anyone else
Church and ministry should be 100%
towards sharing the Gospel of Christ,
encouragement to Christian bros and sisters
and helping people in need
nothing else is needed
for salvation and confidence of heaven
are the Christians that will be there when you
need them, the rest are puppets to lame dictatorship
I was baptized in a Baptist Church
attended the same Chruch
hurt me more than it helped me
I made my salvation 100% between me and God
prayed for people I saw needed it silently
and wrote devotions to this day for my
service to Christ
I feel free
my self esteem is at a all time high
I am not on egg shells with myself
or God or even radical people
I don't fear legalism
I have access to the fullness of God's Love
100% independent
and have found the fullness of God's salvation
by the Cross alone
