[__ Prayer __] Pray for my Roomate

[Christfollower3]

Pray for my roommate who was one of my best friends but now i consider an aquaintance after just a liitle bit over a year and friend for two. We have had a lot of arguments, which has caused bitterness (im slowly but surly releasing or trying to release it to God). For my sake and his, I have decided for the rest of the time that i room with him I am not going to have arguments with him (even logical, non-emotional) debates because i am worried that tempers will be lost at worst or comments will be made at least. It was just one thing he told me tonight that has made think this way. He mentioned that he was going to seek extra Biblical sources to help prove Christianity which i think is good that he is trying to do taht although i beg differ that Scripture always to be authoratative and 1st foremost source and other sources just "good info." I mentioned that Jesus being both human and God had a lot to do with it. He thought otherwise (which is fine) it was just when he said something along like this: "I cant bring himself to listen to you, [he wants to be "unbiased"] because he dosent want distractions." He also believes that the Bible is not the absolute authoratative Word of God. I think we can still be friends, but i think being roommates would be highly irroconcilable (not speaking of forgivness because im trying to do taht im just saying its not wise in teh sense of both of our learning and being sanctified unto Christ that we not be roomed). He is a Christian and I really want prayer concerning that he open up to people and not let people's opinions become "distractions" and not let other people be hurt in the search for truth. By the way im not forsaking him I am just moving out and not having any more debates but only I will talk to him about superficial matters like when he is going to lunch or so untill he is ready to want to at least consider my opinions. Someone tell me what you would think. Thanks for listening.

Also he says he could not definitivly tell a person that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Iam not doing this to spread gossip but to bring it before a community of believers. I realize maybe as a younger Christian (even as I am) we will all doubt and wonder about God but i do not accept the fact that he dosent seem to care about the opinions of others (unless beneficial to his) only his. Especially if certain opinions arent worthy of consideration. Im less worried about the search for truth and him finding out for sure Christianity is the way (no problem there) only problem is running over other people in search of it. Srry for repeating myself if i did btw.
Also i do not deny i am to blame for some of the arguments that got out of control among other guilt that falls on me but I am trying to do better by the grace of God.

Dearly beloved,

Don't beat yourself up. Just remember that Christ bore all of our shame, so if Christ doesn't condemn you, please don't feel guilty about things that can't entirely be helped. I have prayed for your friend, and I wish you pleasant days.

Love Dane.
