A lot of the time, my sisters don’t do things if they don’t feel a “peace” from God. They had both been single for several years because they believed that God would find them husbands. Then eventually they started trying Internet dating sites like eHarmony and a Christian one. They found a couple of hardcore Christian guys then they each eventually found ones that they were really happy with. Even though they were just “friends” one of the guys was sending one of the sisters messages saying things like she’s the most amazing woman in the world. She didn’t feel a “peace” from God about him though. He wasn’t quite as obsessed about God as she was (she’s written two books about how loving God the Father is). Then he started singing and his playing guitar at the tiny pentecostal church both my sisters go to (BTW almost everyone there is either married or single - not dating). Then they started officially dating. He came to my parent’s house on Good Friday and I met him. He said that he was an extra in a B movie that had Billy Zane in it but refused to say which one since he was ashamed on the movie.
Anyway my mum talked to her on the phone tonight and she said that they had broken up. They were all crying a bit. I think it was due to my sister not feeling a peace about him but they think they’ll find someone even better. I told my mum that I think my sister should have only broken up with him if she had a proper reason.
My mum said it is better to not feel a peace now and break up that after they might have married.
So you don’t have the facts as to why they broke up and are assuming and pitting your assumption???
If so perhaps the most inappropriate pitting in SB history, at least a strong candidate for that.
I think perhaps the OP meant to put this in MPSIMS (or possibly a blog), and have reported it for a forum move.
Are you sure you’re interpreting this correctly?
From context, it sounds more like your sister wants to feel a piece from God. No doubt God’s got quite a piece. It must feel real nice to get God’s piece all up inside her. This guy she was dating, his piece can’t possibly compare to God’s piece. I’d go so far as to say that if she’s felt a piece from God she’s probably ruined now for all human men.
Where’s the question?
What’s the debate?
Are we supposed to wade in on your sister’s strange Christian dating practices?
Just get a freaking blog already!
Use it for posts like this that have no question or debate topic!
Moved to MPSIMS.
I feel a peace from God (or at least His notorious wrath) since I stopped believing in Him.
Last time God got a piece, he knocked up a virgin, took 33 years to track down His Son and then killed him.
His Son almost got a piece, except when He touch her there … she HEALED !!!
It seems to that “I don’t feel a peace from God about him” is easily interpreted as “I don’t feel quite right about him.” It’s her choice to make.
Agreed. If she doesn’t think they’re compatible, they should not be together, no matter what their religious beliefs may be.
And how did the guy’s diet figure into the equation? :rolleyes:
Let’s remove God from the conversation for a second.
For “peace from God” you can interpret “good feeling.”
So what you’re saying is your sister broke up with a guy because she didn’t have a good feeling about the relationship.
Which is no different from what happens in thousands of relationships every day.
If she wants to ascribe those feelings to God rather than simply “something doesn’t feel right about this,” she’s merely trading one non-logical reason for another.
Shhhh … please don’t remind anyone
Easy. How did his wife get rid of 180 pounds of useless belly fat?
She divorced him.
Yes it means it is a “don’t feel quite right” feeling - and it apparently comes from God.
No they felt good about one another - she thought he was really good and they were considering marriage, etc. It was a feeling from God that was the problem. They were both crying about it and very hurt.
BTW like I said they think that this will lead them to find partners that are even better. I agree that it is a “non-logical reason”. She should only break up with him for proper reasons.
She does think they’re compatible I think she thinks that there might be another guy in the world that is even better than him.
It was supposed to be a rant.
There are good reasons for breaking up, but there isn’t a “proper reason” for ending a relationship. It’s an emotional thing – it either feels right or it doesn’t.
And if she feels she can find someone out there more compatible, then that’s the way she feels.
