Is My Boo A Believer?

You may ask yourself, "Does it really matter if my boo loves God or not?" If you want a response from me, my answer is YES! It does matter.

If you are a firm believer of Christ, and you are dating someone who is not...STOP! You are at a DEAD END. (I will explain why) Now, if you are not a firm believer of Christ, then what I'm stating means absolutely nothing to you. (You can stop reading now if you like)

Let's begin with a verse from the bible that explains why you shouldn't date a non-believer. Turn your bibles to 2 Corinthians 6:14-15 (I'll be reading from the NKJV)

And it states, "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?"

I will now translate it to the "Good News Translation" for those who cannot completely digest the previous version. "Do not try to work together as equals with unbelievers, for it cannot be done. How can right and wrong be partners? How can light and darkness live together? How can Christ and the Devil agree? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?" ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

The bible tells you right off the bat, if you are dating someone who is a non-believer, "it cannot be done." At first, the relationship will be just fine, but once it starts to get serious and you guys are discussing your future, that's where it goes downhill. Let's say you guys are talking about starting a family, and what traditions your children should follow, this is where you guys will bump heads. You would love for your family to attend church every weekend, however your boo is like nah, the weekdays are my relaxation days, I don't want to go to church every weekend. (That's a red flag) Or maybe if you don't eat certain foods such as "pork" but your boo does & they want to instill that into your home. (Another red flag)

There are way more examples than the ones I have mentioned, but do you guys understand why and how it will conflict if you guys are not on one accord?

My advice to you is to simply stick with those who are cut from the same cloth as you. Meaning, date someone who has the same faith and values you have. It will be waaaayyyy easier, and you guys will indeed be equally yoked. Isn't that the goal of love anyway?

P.S. Be stingy with who you date... :)
