spiritual boyfriend

"Don't be unequally yoked" How many times have we heard this used in dating or marrying a non-believer. The ramifications for dating a non-christian are huge. Marrying a non-believer are even bigger. I think too many times we make unwise decisions in who we date. We want to hope that that person will become a follower of Jesus. We justify it by saying maybe we are the tool to get them saved. And all the while we know that it is an unwise decision.

What I believe happens is when we are dating an unbeliever, there is a part of us that is craving a spiritual leader. So for us women we find a spiritual boyfriend along with our regular boyfriend. A relationship than is formed with this other person to fulfill our spiritual need. While all the while we are dating another person who is fulfilling our physical, emotional and friendship need. ANd the person who is the spiritual boyfriend suffers.

Does it then make sense that we should never date an unbeliever? A boyfriend and potential husband needs to fill all those needs especially the spiritual one.

I have been married to my spiritual boyfriend for over 16 years. I can't imagine what it would be like if he didn't believe in Jesus.

Thoughts?!

still undecided

Okay. It is 8:30am and I am still undecided on who I am going to vote for today. I been asking questions, investigating each candidate and really praying. Which candidate is best for me personally? Which candidate will help me? Which candidate is best for the country? Which candidate would Jesus vote for? Which candidate follows the Biblical principles laid out in the Bible? I find it interesting that Jesus never condemns the current government or the current leader in the government. He condemns the religious leaders but not the Roman officials. If anyone should have been upset about the killing of innocent children, He would have been since a whole group of children were killed because of his birth. Why didn't he say anything? ANd Paul. Many people were being crucified and put in prison for their beliefs and does he ever condemn the government? It just got me thinking about how am I suppose to vote as a follower of Jesus. Since my whole life is baised on following the Bible, it should affect the way I vote.
