Think you know the bible?

Well my now ex gf is WAY to christian.. She thinks god is going to tell her what to do and when to do it... I think thats completely wrong in my mind.. I want to tell her that god gives us a life to live the way we want to live it... I need to be using saying from the bible to back me up (never read any of the bible).

anyway here's an example of how she lives

hey....i didn't want my last e-mail to be that hateful to you, but you really did hurt my feelings. more then once. anyway, hears a little better e-mail for you. read this if you don't truly think that God tells you what to do with every step of your life. Proverbs 3:5-6 states: trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

It doesn't say in half your ways, acknowledge God. it doesn't say if you feel like it, acknowledge Him. it says, in ALL of your ways. that means, don't do what you feel like without running it by God first. we are made in His image, to be of one likeness in mind. but, since you question everything, read it for yourself. then, since you don't really know whether or not you even want to do the whole Christian thing, try a different religion and tell me if you feel the same things or not. no other religion can make you feel alive inside because there is only one creator, and that's God. not buddha, not anything else. but hey, who am I to preach? i'm only half Christian, anyway, right?....you said you wanted to really read more on the Bible, so there's one verse for you to start with.

She is so christian its sickening... when I was breaking up with her she told me she has heard the to christian speach many times before...

anyway she is trying to open a daycare (more than likely never happen) she broke down one day and said that she asked god that if she could find the money to buy this and that, that she was suposed to open a day care etc..

anyway her being extremely christian, she still slept with me many times... (but she was tight as hell, so I was one of few)

anyway I don't have them anymore but I posted pics and a video in S&A...

long story short my question is... I need some bible verses to tell her that god gives us a life to live the way we want to live it...

anyway any tips will help.

Man if this is true your relationship is doomed. The sex will stop , then so will everything else...I've seen it with my own eyes too. No sex, no head, no hand jobs...in the order, or maybe she'll just stop everything sexual...even kissing. Sex before marriage is a sin...or so they say.

I can't help you with the verses thing.

anyway, you still have a free will after you turn. it sjust...he helps.

I know of some verses that say that God gave each person a life to live as they choose, but in all honestly, the context they're in won't help you.

get her to chant hare krishna

No, our relationship was fucked after we had sex... now its just gotten to the point where I told her how I felt..

I still want to be with her, because she is so fucking perfect except for her christian beliefs...

There are a few options...

Take away the mother and brother (murder) because thats whos leading her... But I couldn't do that.

She has been to all the other churches and has now only been going to one... so I was thinking maybe getting rid of the church. (fire)

Then there is changing her... and thats the first step I am trying...

Shes so perfect other than her beliefs shes worth doing somthing regretible to be with her....

I don't think you know what's going on, he had a whole bunch of threads about all this in S&A.

The best advice I can give you to tell her, camaro, is that it's her life to live. I am very Christian, but I still live my own life and don't expect God to make my choices for me. I don't know of any specific verses to use, but no where in the Bible does it say that we should rely only on God for everything. We should follow what He teaches, but that does not mean He will make our decisions for us.

There are plenty of verses BUT they will not help you much.

Let me explain it real simple for you.

If you could show her a verse that said "Thou shalt fuck thine Boyfriend til his ears doth pop"

IT STILL WOULDN'T MAKE ANY FUCKING DIFFERENCE.

'Christians ' are told and taught what verses mean and most are forever incapable of thinking or discerning the meanings for themselves.

Most of what mainstream christians believe isn't to be found in the bible so they will twist and rape the text til it says what they want to hear.

I guess thats all there is to tell her... is that her life is hers to live the way she sees fit... But damn what a loss... I feel like kidnapping her (shes 20y/o) and just holding her captive until she straitens out lol

anyway she used this to prove that we should do what god "tells" us to do and when to do it...

Proverbs 3:5-6 states: trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
