My best friend for a life time got saved about two years ago. We were close, did everything together, when you seen one the other wasn't far behind. But I guess I've seen only three or four times in the last two years. When you got saved did you stop being friends with people you had been friends with all your life? I don't hold it agianst him I guess he is doing what he thinks is best for him. But I do miss him, and I think if it had been the other way around I would still try to make time to be his friend. What do you think?

I haven;t lost a friend to religion so to speak. When I got saved, I didn't stop being friends with my friends that didn't accept Jesus. Heck I have friends who have been addicts in the past and I am helping them gain recovery and find their way back and change their lives. I don't think we should just walk away from friends that we had before Jesus. We can always have both.

I've never had that happen to me personally but i know of ppl who've had that very thing happen to them and I will NEVER understand it...I really won't..if you are life long friends or just really close friends etc why would you all of a sudden walk away from that just becuase you found some religion..It would seriously make me question the friendship and whether or not it was ever true and genuine to begin with ya know...

^_^ yes im with you, in the past we are really open to each other.. but no its the other way around.. i have been away for a long time to finished my study in another place.. but right now when i got back its different.. i guess i can't coupe up with them coz their hobby is not my hobby now.. but still i treat them as a friend.. im trying to tell them about the grace of God.. but its like they don't treat me as a friend back their that we are all open to each other.. or i guess they see my changes.. i don't know i guess i have to talk to them.. right now i have one human friend left.. and he is far too.. we only communicate trough text.. right now i am both happy and sad.. happy coz accept the free gift of God.. sad coz all my friends are gone except one who is also far away.. back on those times it is really cool coz we participate as a back up dancers or intermissions on any programs in our towns.. i guess i just miss that as a nature of human beings..
