How come I feel I'm slipping from my Mormon Faith?
How come I feel like I’m slipping from my Mormon Faith? Here is the story behind this. I’m sort of involved with a man I met online and he’s not a Mormon. I’m suposed to meet him on September 28th. He’s suposed to come out to Michigan where I’m from since he’s from Nashville TN. I’m afraid I might end up breaking certain rules of the Mormon faith since him and I kind of fallen for each other. I feel we’re getting pretty serious. I was able to speak with my Leader from church today. I feel better I talked to him. But, I’m afraid to slip while this man is here in Michigan. I’m afraid he might not support me and my beliefs. He’s Baptist but, doesn’t aphiliate himself with the Baptist faith. Since him and I haven’t met in person yet, is it normal to be fearful? Or, is it not? I’m going to date this man regardless of his beliefs or not. Its just that I’m afraid to be thrown out of my Church if I break certain rules. Since I love the south, and I’m attracted to Southern people anyway, should this man support me in my beliefs? Even though he doesn’t agree? I’d greatly appreciate some feedback if possible. I don’t want to completely lose my Mormon Faith. I’m afraid though.
If you’re that afraid you should bring other people with you when you go out with him.That would help with two things first it will help you not to be tempted to have sex with him and second it will help keep you safe since you don’t know him. Just because he’s of another belief system doesn’t mean that you are losing your faith.But,there are plenty of things you can do not to be tempted.Recite scripture in your mind over and over again when you see him.
1st of all, I know you love this man, but regardless of what “faith” you are try to be platonic with this man, doesn’t mean you can’t hold hands, give a kiss, but to go further. I say this because this IS the 1st time you are meeting. As far as my beliefs, I don’t believe the mormon faith is scriptual, but I am not here to judge, only God can do that…to me any “religion” that has a man made creed is not what God wants, Scripture alone should be our only doctrine.
What are you really afraid of? Peer pressure? Rejection by your family and friends? The fear of discovering your religion is a complex system of deception designed to keep you believing it?
Your fear does not seem to be “I know Mormanism is true, and I’m afraid he’ll trick me”.
Take this opportunity to escape from your cult holding your mind hostage, and help him do the same. In that way, whatever spark ignites between you, will not be doused by systems of superstition and myths.
This is a delima that has to be faced over and over again. Choices and decisions have to be made, as we live our lives out down here.
Sometimes we have to make decisions that are hard.
When faced with this, we need to seek God, to make sure we are making the right choice, concerning his will for us.
The word of God, tells us if we are believers, that we need to marry believers, otherwise, it can lead to confusion.
God does not want to see us walking in confusion. He wants us to be happy, and to live peaceful contented lives.
He gave his guidelines, so that we could better understand his will, and they are for our well being, and protection.
I understand the Baptist way of following the Lord, I know very little about the Mormon faith.
However, it is not against Gods laws, for you to marry a Baptist.
However, there is much need of discussion, as to what will be expected on both sides. You need to work these things out, now, not later.
You think love covers all… and it does go a very long way, however, when the honeymoon is over, then, the daily stuff takes over, and this is where the trouble can come in.
Much better to work it out ahead of time, and reach an understanding and agreement, rather than to leave a place where enmity can come in.
The divorce rate is 1 in 2 in this country.
Don’t become another statistic.
To be honest I really think that mormon faith is extremely strict.
so to be worried doesnt come as a big shock.
wish I could help, but im methodist.. so im no t really sure what rules you have to abide by..
