That's the thing even within the same group. People tend to act very differently and have different believes.
Just like every other group in life, you can't judge it by the actions of a few.

We used to have 8 JoJo's on the factory I worked at and every one and their families would socialise with us.
I even helped to build the Kingdom Hall in Normacot, Stoke because they were such great blokes.
Not quite; I was born in 73. I'm familiar with the song but didn't know the name of the group.
'bout to ask the same question. Did you guys "sleep together"? If yes, then she can't be too much of a Christian tbh.
Keeping something like that from someone for 2 years is wrong. Bible warns against Christains marrying non-believers.
Don't see this lasting too much longer.
This "she slept with you thus can't be much of a Christian" attitude is awful.
Fact is, the OP means a lot to her and she showed it. Compromising your beliefs for someone who you believe is that special is understandable. It does not make you less of a Christian.
It really is a massive decision and the OP should cherish her for that.
Getting uppety about it would send the wrong message.

Why not? It isn't like Christ said "Oi, no sex before marriage." personally.
Not sure what to add, but i'd be well ****** off if i couldn't tell that my gf of 2yrs was a Christian. Hopefully she's moving away from it and wants to be with you. Have a clear the air chat or just do her up the wrong'un

Christianity should be a personal thing, the bible is a guide not a book of rules - this is where most christians go wrong and ironically spiral into a life of sin yet can't see it for themselves.

He wasn't looking for it tho... and if it is like I'm thinking shes had almost 20 years of covering it to fit in - I'm assuming hes not known her all this time.
Indeed. I know loads of Christians that had sex before marriage.
What, you thought none of us sinned? Give over.
We do ask God for forgiveness, though.
I have being together with my girlfriend now for nearly 2 years were in love and all the rest of it but today have being told something.
Ok she goes and sees here grandmother every Sunday morning and Wednesday night with her mum dad and sister, I thought it was just to have dinner and spend family time together but no apparently they have a secret Christian meeting signing hymns reading the bible and other related tasks, I though fair enough she was scared to tell me as I thought it will put me off, I asked is it just you lot and she said no there we are part of a Christian family with people over the world in America Ireland and Europe, she went away to Ireland and Preston a few times last year to see friends and family but told me just now it was to take part in a Christian family gathering.
At this point I’m like wth? Massive secret to keep from me and I don’t know what to think, I had no idea she was a massive Christian let alone religious.
I don’t know how to approach this situation, would you lot just carry on as normal? She also said its the ‘law’ of the Christian Family to marry into each other and her mum pushes her to see a few people, she is 21 I’m kind of shocked by it all.
Sorry for the life story and hope it makes sense
The most important question here is who the hell goes to Preston?
I would rather go to hell naked smeared in lighter fluid.
The secondary issue is her religion
Seriously, that sort of logic is so flawed.
Your God makes the rules, you know where you stand. But anyway i'll just do what i want and then ask for forgiveness.Seriously, that sort of logic is so flawed.
Cause religion is a load of bull, of course it doesnt make sense. If they kicked people from religions for doing something out of the perscribed rules of a religion you could probably count the amount of religious followers on one hand.
I mean you could kick all the kiddy fiddling catholics for a start without even trying
Seriously, that sort of logic is so flawed.
Not really when you take into consideration that the Catholic Christian religion assume all people are sinners from inception, thus you spend the rest of your life guilty until you are on your death bed and repent, with numerous confessions inbetween.

If there are no implications for flouting the rules, what the point in rules? It’s nothing more than an a way of pretending you're good person when in reality you aren’t. Saying sorry to god means nothing to the people you've sinned against.

It's not like people break the rules with the intent to ask forgiveness later. However, we all make mistakes, or you rationalise it, or you just decide to do what you want. The point is that when you realise that you were wrong, you ask forgiveness.
It's not like you sit there and think "I'll do this, but it's OK, because I can ask forgiveness later". It doesn't really happen like that.
Did you think Christians lived perfect lives? Of course we don't. The point is that we acknowledge that we aren't perfect and can't get into heaven without forgiveness, which is found in Jesus.

To be honest mate, aside from the lying, her religion hasn't affected you at all and whilst people here (including myself tbh) may think it a bit weird, it shouldn't be something you let bother you as it is only one aspect of the person who probably has many other facets that you love and admire. However, if this becomes something that starts to encroach on or pressurise your relationship (for instance if her parents start asking her to bring you along etc) then I personally would call that a good time to make a swift exit.
Remember, no matter how much you love someone or they love you, you should never change yourself to please that person and vice versa.

Sorry for the double post and being a bit controversial here, but this is what I distrust somewhat about all religion, the idea that you are being good or looking for forgivness to 'get into heaven'. Why can you not just recognise the morally right and just, the nice thing to do, the more humane response etc. Why must there be this ultimate bribe of 'if you behave you can go to heaven'? Thanks all the same but I think I'll just try my best to be a good human being, not for reward but because it is the right thing to do.
No huge rant or argument intended here, just an observation which is only my opinion.
