Living A Chirstian Life

[Proud to be part of Him]

I want to apologise for saying having a bad history is not wise, I meant like if you are going to a job interview having bad grades is not always good. You must prove yourself worthy

User 157 it's ok we all do mistakes, I'm still in high school I dont have a job yet 

Geomike thank you so much for your advice it will hphopefully help me, so is it ok if I'm friends with a boy rather than a girl because I know this guy will help me better in my spiritual life?

God bless you (sorry for all these question)

Well honestly, this isn't "wrong" but not everyone is perfect. Maybe you won't have incorrect feelings toward him, but you have to remember, he is a guy. I am not saying that guys are bad, (i m a guy), but it's just our nature to have these bad feelings towards the other gender. So while it isn't bad having a guy as a friend, he shouldn't be your closest friend.

A girl can't talk to a guy about a lot of matters. If she ever has a problem, sometimes it isn't wise to ask a guy because you might put him through a lot of temptations even though you had good intentions.

So, in conclusion, it isn't good to have a guy as your closest friend, but it doesn't mean that it is wrong to have a guy friend. It is perfectly fine and normal to have a guy friend, just be extra careful and make sure that you don't accidently do something that might jeapordize his purity.

This is a very controversial topic, so i would like ur opinions on this. (i am talking to everyone)

Sorry to intrude but no one needs to be helping you in your spiritual life
it is your responsibility to help yourself
Plus I was apologising to all not just you

On the contrary User, we are all one as stated several times in the book of Acts. We all make up the body of Christ, so when the other is in distress we should help them.

Not if it is the other gender
There are probably bible verses that speak of this like when st Paul said I do not permit a woman to teach a man and sin came through eve
If a person is not going to God they do not deserve to be helped because they are glorifying other people instead of God only if it is in a supervised environment like camps or church
St paul said I do not permit a man to touch another woman
and sin has cast down many wounded and all who were slain we're strong man
I think it is fine if you are old enough like finished Uni but not when u are in high school
In high school I chatted on msn about God to a girl we were both talking I was getting feelings but thank God we never let it go far because she said she was not interested in dating now and it seems she did not want to be my friend anyway
No sin was involved but it could have if I kept talking to a lot of girls

Thanks for the advice guys. Plus I just dont get what wrong with helping people in their spiritual life isnt that y we have this site.

Here is what St. John Chrysostom says, about leading others to Christ:

"Nothing is more frigid than a Christian who does not care about the salvation of others. You cannot plead the excuse of poverty here; the widow who gave her two mites will stand to accuse you. Peter said, “Silver or gold I have none.” Paul was so poor he often went hungry, lacking the necessary food. You cannot allege lack of education or preparation. They were unlearned men. You cannot plead infirmity. Timothy was often laid low by sickness and the Apostle had to counsel him to take a little wine for his stomach. Every one can profit his neighbor if he will do what he can.

Do not say, It is impossible for me to lead others to the faith. If you are a Christian, it is impossible for it not to be so. The natural properties of things cannot be denied. This witnessing to others is part of the very nature of being a Christian. It would be easier for the sun to cease to shine and give forth heat than for a Christian not to send forth light; easier for the light to be darkness than for this to be so."

Should we fear if we don't preach we will not be saved?

No. Your actions preach more than your words. The Bible tells us that no matter how many people we get to Christ but we have not love, then we won't be saved.
