Would you convert for love?
As if dating isn’t tricky enough, many of us have to figure how to handle differences in religion. If religion is important to you, it is a great idea to find out if you there are any conflicts in beliefs.
I have watched a lot of couples struggle with a difference in religions and sometimes it is something they can’t really get past. I think things are a lot easier when one converts to the religion of their mate. Is it too much to ask someone to do, though?
Would you ever date someone who had different religious beliefs? Would you dump someone because of it?
Have you ever thought about converting to a different religion for the sake of a relationship? Would you be opposed to it?

Interesting that folks believe everything should be easy.

New Living Translation – “But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.”

The Bible is full of quotes about how God chooses us, and not the other way around.
1 Th 1:4-5, 1 Pet 1:1-2, 1 Pet 2:9, Ephesians 1:3-5, and many many many more. Note that time after time, God does the calling. Note the number of Biblical characters not called by God. Why did the Pharisees not believe? God wouldn’t let them; His plan called for the crucifixion. It’s all self-evident, as written in the Bible.

One more…sorry can’t help it…the Pharisees could not believe because of their own agenda. Every man though will have an opportunity to be saved. Some NEVER hear the calling and some do. There couldn’t be a day of judgement where every man will be held accountable if God didn’t grant the opportunity to be saved to all. Silly rabbit.

Have a good one, folks. Here’s an EOD for you:
“Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people, living life in peace
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope some day you will join us
And the world will live as one.”

Well, that’s a very Baptist/Methodist/Presbyterian kind of viewpoint, and that’s fine, Celisea. Really, it doesn’t much matter what we think about it, anyway. Some get saved, some don’t, the reasons why and why not matter to them and God, whatever the reasons are.
