Im so confused!!! Please help me!!!!!!

Hey. My friend Craig is an atheist and he is a really thick-headed person. I dont know what to do. I asked him why he is atheist and he told me, "People say God is there when you need him most but yet you hear about all these people who get sexually abused and all these people who get hurt." I want to tell him that good things happen to strong people and that God only gives you as much as you can handle but I just dont know if I should or if I should just leave it alone or what! I love him like a brother and we grew up together but he had a really rough childhood and I just dont know what to do and whenever I think he might not go to heaven I feel really sad and want to just hide in my room. I dont want to hurt our friendship but I want to do whats right...I just dont know that is! Please pray for him and me!!! Im just so confused because he seems to accept that Im christian and he doesnt want me to become atheist just because of him and I want to just let it go but I have this nagging feeling that I shouldn't. I really need help.

Comment by Grim on August 7, 2012 at 2:44pm: I wanted you all to know that I know life is hard and that God tests us for a reason but HE doesnt. Some of you have been helpful and some have been....not so helpful but thanks for sharing your point of view. I doubt many of you have been in this situation though. I appericiate the verses.

God DOES give you things you can't handle so that you can draw close to Him and ask for His help and guidence. If you have that nagging feeling then don't give up. You and your friend should both listen to the song Go Hard by Lecrae.

Comment by Msorto34 on August 1, 2012 at 5:44pm: Hey so first of all the bible tells us in Matthew 28:19-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. So we are commanded to tell people about the Lord. Secondly explain to your friend that the Lord uses tragedy as a wake up call to us. He uses it to draw us closer to him. God has a plan for each and everyone of our lives which will have tragedy in it no matter what we have to learn how to go to God for help in those times. If you think about it though even Jesus who was perfect had tragedy in his life. Also sin causes tragedy because every sin has a consequence. That's what I would explain to your friend. P.S. know the Lord is with you through it all just as it says in Matthew 28:20!!

Comment by Kathleen Adams on July 31, 2012 at 5:39am: You should pray as much as possible on the matter and listen to what God says and obey him even if it means terminating your friendship. Take it from me, today I lost a total of 10 friends that I had been holding onto even though they were atheist because I thought I could bring them to God. God kept telling me that I had to stop being around them but I ignored him and today in one big event all my hopes of saving their souls went down in flames. How could I be so stupid to ignore my heavenly father in the hopes I could do it all in my own power? These so-called friends had been bringing me down and away from God for so many years but I was choosing them over God every day. I will never do this again and find better friends when I move at the beginning of next year that share my faith.
