What I believe a wicked person does - Bible talk

[jennifer_bloom]

Last year I ghosted a friend because I found her behaviour to be disreputable, she would mock me for my Christian values and my conservative stance on things related to dating and personality and when I offered to share my faith and testimony with her, she gave me a condescending rejection as if I was expressing intellectual idiocy by suggesting my faith in God was more important than her repudiation of religious ideas.

It’s not a crime to care about money or beauty or status since we live in a world where all those things function as forms of currency in our lives, Jesus himself said it’s okay to acknowledge the social kingdoms that are being forced on you, what the bible says is that it’s wrong to mock or deny God’s kingdom when your serving those other kingdoms. Like it’s fine to diet and buy expensive clothes but wrong to mock the person who can’t afford clothes because they spend too much time doing volunteer work.

Its okay to play sports and build muscles but wrong to mock the guy who is weak in sports because he spends all his time, doing biology homework work and pre med chemical laboratory experiments etc… You can serve any kingdom you want so long as it does not violate God’s kingdom or your self-respect, all God asks is that you avoid opposing God’s kingdom or judging people by unbiblical standards, such as the type of car they drive or the year they purchased their clothes etc…

If you form your entire personality around Christianity i suggest forming most of your friendships that you value woth other Christians.
While its okay to have friends who aren't, if their difference of opinions upsets you then you shouldn't be talking to them about it unless you're very aggressive on having to feel right.
Its not fair to expect everyone to feel the same as you.
Granted i understand you said she mocked you and put you down for sharing your beliefs.
But from her side you were potentially forcing your beliefs on her.

Be mindful that not everyone wants that or to talk about it. Dont misunderstand your situation and feel like you've been oppressed or attacked. That is a very different experience from what you've gone through based on wgat you shared.
Im a Christian but im not going to pick a fight with someone who doesn't see things how i do. Thats bigoted and annoying.
If you value people for who they are their beliefs shouldn't matter. You can be a Christian without fighting people who dont sgare your views.

Well, first we have to address the fact that other people don't believe in your bible. So they could just as easily disown you for your faith, as it violates theirs. Your morality could be in defiance with theirs, and they believing theirs to be superior, choose to have nothing to do with you. What's more, to those that aren't part of your religion, they don't care about what "gods kingdom" has to say about it, nor do they subjugate themselves to your Bible. So they aren't obligated to live the same way as you choose to. Not to say you don't have a right to choose to not be around non-religious people, but non-religious people have just as much right to talk to you that way, and to choose to not be around you. That is the detail, you should probably be upfront and just make friends with similar values as you, if you are incapable of choosing to live and let live. The way you have described it, it doesn't sound to me like your friend went out of their way to attack you and your religion. They only said something when YOU brought up your religion and tried to tell them to abide by it. Which is a commonality I have seen with Christians. It is a type of persecution complex, "how dare they oppose my faith, they are persecuting me because they won't let me convert/control them." If that being the case, I would suggest making friends in the church, because most people don't like getting hit over the head with someone else's bible every time they do or say something. Other church people won't mind you sharing your faith, though from my experience, they are some of the most unkind and judgmental people on earth, so it's just as likely they will judge you for not being "Christian enough."
