My comments about conversion to Islam come from a place of having your best interest at heart. I would like to see my wife's Muslim relatives, my former co-workers, etc. who are Muslim put their faith in Christ.
I spent many years in Indonesia, and my impression is that there are numerous Christian virgins there. It was certainly the expectation, on both male and female, that they be virgins. This was true of Muslims, and probably Buddhists also. I don't know about Hindus. Bali has some onerous wedding customs and there is this niche in the culture for forcing a marriage somehow, feigning that the groom eloped with the bride or slept with her beforehand. The details are fuzzy in my memory. A little over 20 years ago, my wife and I took a vacation to Bali. We were going to rent a car with a hired driver. I prayed that the driver would be open to receiving the Gospel. The next day, we met him. The Balinese driver we hired was living with his fiancée before marriage. He had seen a Christian movie and was interested in becoming a Christian. We shared with him. Mostly my wife. My Indonesian was a bit stilted. He was interested. We introduced him to a pastor there we were visiting, and he ended up getting baptized along with his fiancée, we heard, some time later.
But it is still the culture there at least in Jakarta, among Christians and Muslims, to save oneself for marriage. I am not saying some don't violate this. But it is expected, like it was in the US decades ago. And if you said a woman was sleeping around before marriage, it's not considered some silly joke like here. It's a serious insult to their character.
I don't like to see you swapping religions based on what woman you want to find. You should seek God first, then align desires to marry with serving and pleasing God.
Why are you even entertaining this conversation? Last week he was a Christian and the week before he was interested in Shiva and occultism. This guy changes his religions more than I change my underpants.
I think it was more like weeks or months. You should change your underpants more frequently.
it's been like 4 months since I was interested in Enki.I have been a paulinian that whole time .New information just means new perspectives,noone can know 100% all the facts.I don't claim to be right ,I am open to God showing me the errors of my ways,which shows a sincerity rather than a know it all.
Since my spiritual experiences starting in the beginning of January 2021,I have been a believer in Yahashu'ah,with just a 2-3 week at most change,but then coming back when the new info was shown to be false,as I am actually sincerely diligently researching things and not claiming I know it all in my mind.
Yes,some religion is hard on my ocd,but I feel with the holy spirit I can go thru,that has always been my prayer,God bring me to your truth and if I leave bring me back again and let me die in a state of Grace.
