Forbidden love....

[Britt333]

So here is the problem:

I met this really awesome guy on the 21 at my friends birthday party.   We went bowling and only seven of us showed up, including this really awesome guy....He has an amazing sense of humor; He is sensitive and good looking.....I have what some might call a good judge of character, and he is one of the nicest guys I have ever met.....And get this, he actually wants to get to know me better! 
The Catch?  He is a bisexual wiccan agnostic.... meaning he believes in magik but does not believe that there is a higher being controlling that magikal stuff...
And me, I guess I need a little christian advice considering Im 17 and have never had a boyfriend before...
Thanks 
God bless

He would be one definitely NOT to date. Just because someone speaks kindly doesn't mean that their heart is in those words. It usually means that speaking kindly is a focus of theirs. Sad but true.

[fassopony]

He likes to have sex with everyone and can't decide whether or not there is a God but in the meantime is a practicing Wiccan?

Interesting.

Run.  The other way.

[nightowl]

i agree run, run. the more you hang with him, the more you like him, the harder it is to let go once the reality of his beliefs make you choose to let him go.

[Britt333]

Are there any verses in the Bible that specifically warn against this kind of thing?

Thanks 

[JohnDB]

Yeah. Remember Sampson?

Hey young one,

The immediate gratification is not worth the pain later on. Some stuff can mess you up for the rest of your life. I hope you make the right decision. I'm feeling that you probably knew the right answer, but since you feel the need to ask, chances are you are already falling for the bait. It's a tough painful lesson to learn. Get ready for some hard knocks.

with love,
S.

A whole bunch of them...look under witchcraft for the wiccan stuff, abomination for the bisexual stuff...and the unequally yoked for all of it.

Wiccans are all just losers looking for attention. Maybe if you go out with him he'll have the self-confidence to stop being such a nerdy harry-potter thumper.

I say date him. It's like that seinfeld episode. Who cares if he's not a christian, he's the one going to hell for it; not you.

If you seriously love Jesus you may want to back up and take a look at what you just posted as it is not in anyway something Jesus would ever say or condone saying.

Sheeesh!

[fassopony]

Not necessarily.  Some of us do not come from Christian homes and, parents are not perfect.

I will say that there seems to be a lot less effective parenting nowadays though.

[fassopony]

I disagree :)  I regret the many years of not knowing Jesus and would rather look back on a loving God filled early childhood life and especially teen years than the Godless pit I was raised in.

I am thankful I was never boy crazy or a druggie as it saved me a lot of trouble.  That is from God though and had nothing to do with my parents as it was definitely not the same with my sister or brother.

I am not saying good parenting doesn't exist.  I just have no faith where there is no faith in God.

[fassopony]

I'm 39 and know exactly what I am saying.  I am also watching my un-saved mother roil around making the same Godless mistakes over and over.

We can agree to disagree.  I think the world is wrong because it is a sin filled fallen world, not because of parental correction ;)

[Wycliffes_Shillelagh]

We all need(ed) correction from our parents.  It's kind of a non-sequitur here, though.

As for the boy, you have a radically different paradigm than he does.  If you choose the relationship, it will be very difficult.

Also, there's no such thing as a Wiccan agnostic.  Something stinks, there.

Sometimes the Horns and pointy Tail are Spiritually visible sometimes they are tangible to all: but the most dangerous are those with the ability to make all that is Evil seem Comely even desirable this is where it all started!!!!!.

[Britt333]

Thanks for the advice...
My parents are not christian, I really have no christian guidance when it comes to this stuff, and quite frankly its rather depressing...I know I am a teenager, and that everyone goes through this 'I'm right your wrong' stage of their lives...But its really, really, really horrible that I can't think logically enough to make myself stop liking him.........I know that Im probably going to end up being hurt, but i don't know how to stop feeling the way I do...bleck...I hate knowing that one person can make me stop thinking rationally...
God Bless

Ah...do you have a pastor or his wife or another gal at your church or an older friend in youth group to talk to?

Hey,
Nope =P  I don't go to church because of my parents.... and at my youth group there are a couple girls but they are a few years younger than me... kinda sucks, lol I have wondered these things before =)  thanks for asking...

[fassopony]

You need someone you can talk to about this... and the many other things that go on at your age.  Can you talk to your youth leader?  Even if male or female, it's good to have someone you can confide in and (here's the touchy part!!) hold you accountable.  I have an awesome, mature Christian friend that I really depend on, she even reads this board LOL!

I'll have to see what i can do...lol thats awesome ^_^

God bless Britt!

God bless Britt!

Thank you!!  You too! 

[Soulsearcher]

In all likelihood he's asking his friends the same type of question:  "I met this great girl at the bowling alley and she's smart, good-looking, funny, etc.,  problem is she's a Christian."

My advice would be that if you have a strong faith and aren't put off too much by his moral choices, then why not date him?  Wiccans don't generally sacrifice their virgins on the first date anyway.  Do be careful about the bisexuality thing.  It's probably just an adolescent affectation, but an active bisexual is a double risk for STD's.

[comfy]

If you can fall for him, it can be because whatever he shows you is your weakness.

What shows is not what love is really about.

Plenty of older women fall for guys they don't belong with, because they want something that liers and abusers etc. know how to imitate.

[Britt333]

Hey
Thanks everyone for the advice and support ...and if it helps any we split yesterday...the funny thing was that he didn't want to date a christian....Im not too depressed though, its actually kind of nice knowing that I don't have to worry about what he thinks of the whole christian thing lol....
actually its a huge relief   
God Bless you all!!!

[fassopony]

Ah the freeing feeling!  Whenever I have broken up with someone I always feel footloose and fancy free.  Go treat yourself to a three scoop sundae, a mango slushie and whatever else floats your boat!

[Carwhisperer]

I'm going to join with those who say stay far away. It is hard for me to imagine someone I'd rather have my daughter date less than the guy you described. I think wiccanism, or whaterver it is called is at the very least a gateway to Satanism if not outright Satanism. And God says he detests homosexuality. Stay away. I'd want my daughter to date a drummer in a heavy metal band before that guy.
