What a complete prat.Originally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR:Well I had a friend(female) who got dumped by her boyfriend(Christian), shortly after she had sex with him. His excuse for the break-up? Different religion. Yeah right.

im so not suprised to read about this. i know this has long been happening. can we all spell H Y P O C R I T E S?Originally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR:Well, he seemed to be a nice guy at first, coS I know him in person too. But I didn't know that he was such a jerk... Anyway I'm quite disillusioned with some of my Christian friends. They ain't really into the religion, but they attend CEL juZ to have fun and to get to know girls. -__- -
Have they received salvation? Don't anyhow label a church-goer a Christian.Originally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR:Anyway I'm quite disillusioned with some of my Christian friends. They ain't really into the religion, but they attend CEL juZ to have fun and to get to know girls. -__- -
i don't think he's the one who labelled them. Probably the hypocrites themselves who label themselves as Christians.Originally posted by Icemoon:Have they received salvation? Don't anyhow label a church-goer a Christian. -
mana bo ko leng?Originally posted by SingaporeTyrannosaur:Bo ko leng! Bo ko leng! That guy must die! -
Well I don't know what they label themselves as. But it's weird coS when we were in Secondary School not long ago, they'd skip recess to 'pray' together. Is that religious or what? And when we have after-school lessons, they'll head towards a Catholic School to pray towards that direction. But I think those guys joined in because of the girls. Some the those guys whom I know have totally just given up going for CEL and Church service now that they have got a girlfriend.Originally posted by HENG@:i don't think he's the one who labelled them.

To pray towards that direction? What do you mean? I don't understand..Originally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR:Well I don't know what they label themselves as.

Sorry. I meant that they would head towards the Catholic school and pray in the direction facing the school. Hope you guys get what I mean now.Originally posted by SingaporeMacross:To pray towards that direction? What do you mean? I don't understand.. -
Pardon my curiosity...did you have a clue as to what their intentions were?
-
Well no idea. Faith lies in the heart, is there a difference in seeing a Catholic school when praying? Pardon me for being shallow, but I don't see why they do that, other than to make others think that they are very devote, which obviously is just for show.
-
Well, I asked because I wasn't sure if they were praying because they want Catholics to change or because they saw it as some sort of beacon.
Of course it is wrong to put on a façade and then lead a life which contradicts Christian teachings (or even common morals for that matter) but I don't want to speculate their intentions. They know themselves best. -
Well they ain't even baptised yet. Some of them have given up now that they have got other distractions, so I guess this shows how strong their faith really is.

Your friends are from a Catholic school or what?Originally posted by aRcTiC_sTaR:Well they ain't even baptised yet. Some of them have given up now that they have got other distractions, so I guess this shows how strong their faith really is. -
Nope, neighbourhood school.

Christians,
if you have problem with your partner not converting, then in the first place, don't ever date a non Christian. Don't date the person first, then later try to convert him/her. You wouldn't wish to quarrel over this kind of issue and end up both of you go on separate ways with him/her resenting your God.
Non Christians,
if you want to date a Christian, then be prepared that you have to face with this issue. Don't start crying later, when your partner quarrel with you over you not converting. If you're prepared to convert one day, good for you. You can now go date the Christian guy or gal that you are attracted to.
For me, I have no issues. I love the person for what he is. If I am with a non Christian, non Catholic, then I have to be patient with his conversion. I will hope for his conversion and hope to see him convert for the love of God, instead of to be with me. So I will not give ultimatum like this "Convert, or we break up". If he converts out of love for me, he will end up loving me, and be a half past six Catholic. So what's the point? He will come to church with me, with his mind thinking about something else, other than listening to the sermon. Am I helping him in anyway by forcing him? No. If he can never love God, then I would rather he doesn't force himself into it.
Don't ever control a person's will. Even God doesn't do that. (I learnt that from the movie Bruce Almighty) hehehe -
Well Said
