THAT'S IT. I have to step in here. After reading this I have to step in. You guys are treating this young woman the SAME WAY you have treated ME when I was this way. Judging her and persecuting her and practically FORCING her to come to Christ is NOT the Godly way of doing this! And you guys are being annoyed and of anger like she is just because she is deciding or is thinking of something you guys do not agree on. And again you guys did me the SAME WAY. Don't you guys get it? REAL Christians are supposed to love and be of understanding why she is this way? So she may be insulting God, but so did I. So she is questioning her own purpose in life, so am I. So she is falling short of becoming one like Him, SO AM I AND ALL OF US TOO because WE AS PEOPLE ARE NOT PERFECT. Christians are supposed to be kind and giving, NOT to be judging or being so easily offensive by SOMEONE ELSE'S INTENTIONS. Saying she's "wasting her time" and to "grow up". Remember MY posts?! See where I have become! I had to mature on my own and not be so dependant on other people's opinions and intentions! I am being one with God on my own. And you guys, thrashing her in such a way is NOT HELPING. You guys are supposed to be soldiers of Christ. You are trying to "help" this young woman. Saying "you will end up alone and broken if you don't come to Christ" is the most convicting thing to say to ANYONE, even believers or people who are falling short of Him. WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO FORCE. Only GOD can help her come to HIM, NOT US. WE CAN only give the WORD of GOD to others so they may come to HIM... SAYING that YOUR WAY IS THE WRONG CHOICE is WRONG to say! YOU SHOULD ALL, EVEN HER OF MYSELF FOR SAYING ALL OF THIS, SHOULD FALL ON OUR KNEES AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD ALMIGHTY. I'm so hurt to see this... Christians are not supposed to force our behalf of her own decision... if SHE doesn't want to follow Christ, FINE HER CHOICE. All you need to do is PRAY AND MOVE ON. JUST PRAY ANF LET GOD TAKE CARE OF IT. Your words are HURTING her more than doing her GOOD. And this brings me back to what you guys have said to me. Calling me spoiled and stubborn and selfish. We as Christians are not to judge for GOD IS THE TRUE JUDGE AND NOT US. SHE HAS TO CHOOSE, AND WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP HER. We may talk and put some thought in her head, BUT THREATENING SPIRITUAL WARFARE ON HER IS NOT THE ANSWER. SHE is broken... she may have had a bad childhood or have somethings hidden that you or any of us do not know about! She could have mental troubles or have demonic attacks around her, giving her the impression that God is not with her! We should just pray for her salvation and coming to Christ NOW and MOVE ON so GOD can take care of it! OUR mere words are not as powerful as GOD'S. And you "maturing Christians" are not showing the true attitude of being a soldier in Christ. You are treating this woman the same way... You guys think you're ashamed of HER, I am ashamed of YOU GUYS acting in such a kid-like way towards HER OWN CHOICES. If you guys do not like her choices, then just pray and go in peace. Let God handle it, because you guys may be making it worse for her. If she is stubborn or wasting her time, then you guys may be wasting her time with her, judging and persecuting her of what God may have in store for HER WHEN (not if) WHEN she comes to Christ if she shall choose to.

God help us all as Christians to not force Your word upon her, because that is not what we are here to do in this world. We are to speak the Word, but let the person have their own free will to choose. I have been in this same predicament and I have matured since then. And seeing this again on yet another person who was thinking the same way as I am makes me want to step in and convict your OWN HEARTS what TRUE Christians shall do! Tania, I am praying for you because I have been in the same predicament, to be fully angry and at the point of giving up on God all together. It is your choice in this life whether to have God or not, and we must respect NOT JUDGE that decision because it is YOUR LIFE and we ALL have free will. When we don't have Christ, life is hard. When we DO, life is hard anyway. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO OUR OWN CHOICES and we KNOW not all will be in Heaven when the rapture comes, when Christ returns. WE can only PRAY for them to not fall short in time of either their souls passing or whenever Christ will return. And May God help me if any would to be annoyed with ME in trying to help HER AND YOURSELVES to be true to HIM. AND IN HIM. Anger may be flowing in my veins right at this moment for such behavior on BOTH ENDS, but this too shall PASS! IN JESUS' Name I pray! MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON ALL OF US!
