Forgive her .. she's obviously not as a mature Christian as she claims she is. All Believers are the same in the eyes of God ^He is no respecter of persons^= He doesn't show favoritism amongst His followers. Let her have her space and don't say anything other than you are happy she's got a good friend she can turn to. Let her know there are no hard feelings and that you will continue to be her friend. Give her a hug and find more friends to share your love with. A good Christian turns the other cheek.
well .. she's going to do what she's going to do. you do what you need to, to keep your spirits up. one thing we can always count on is that things will change. they always do. even rocks erode with time. just keep the faith and focus on something else. more than
80% of the stuff we worry about, never even materializes.
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
(John 14:27)
Worry not about the possible troubles of the future; for if they come, you are but anticipating and adding to their weight; and if they do not come, your worry is useless; and in either case it is weak and in vain, and a distrust of God's providence.
~ Hugh Blair
Forgiveness is the first step for you to do. I know that our flesh gets angry but that is not what God wants and I can understand how much it must have hurt hearing what your friend has said but forgiveness is setting yourself free because if you hold anger and bitterness in your heart it is a burden that you will be carrying and not her. You need to be honest with her on how her words hurt you but not in an angry manner.
We are all equal in God's eyes, just because someone has been saved longer than another person does not mean that they are wiser. In fact I've met a lot of people who have been to Church all their lives and are huge hypocrites. I have been saved for 10 months and the way that God has been working with me is just awesome. I get prophetic dreams and I'm learning the Word pretty quickly and my husband is amazed because he has been saved since he was small and is amazed at how quickly a new born, so to speak, like myself is being used by God in so many ways.
Your friend is hurting at the moment and Satan is using that hurt to his advantage and the saying goes hurt people, hurt other people. Please don't take to heart what she said because God loves you as equally as He loves her and always will. Just keep praying for her because we are not at war against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, rulers and dark forces in the Heavenlies and prayer is your only form of helping your friend. Just remember that you are special and loved.
Blessings.
Just love her. Forgive her. Still be willing to help, cause thats what Christ does for us. Sometimes we tell God by our actions I know more than you. But He is still there to help us when we go to Him. Cause we are not perfect, but the Holy Spirit inside of you is Perfect and Holy. So love her with His love and I pray that you will receive strength you need from God, and that you find rest in Him. God bless sis
Keep going
Your friend sounds as if she has developed frozen chosen syndrome...
That is how I refer to the religious who develop a holier than thou attitude. You know the ones...they wear their religion like a banner, advertise their faith, display a superior attitude about their faith...basically they feel and act as if they are in some way better than the rest of us. Your friend sounds as if she has this big time. She thinks she is such a more mature christian than you that she has allowed her ego to take over. You and I both know that is the wrong attitude.
For a christian and for a friend.
Lol. I wonder what her pastor would think about that text she sent.
Go on with your life. I know it hurts now, but you have to just move on.
You will make new friends that aren't into judging others, especially based on their faith.
***I'd drop the christian BS*** I resent you implying that the most significant relationship I have and the very reason I live (fully) is BS
Fortunately I believe most Atheists have a modicum of grace and manners. If you had more class and panache; you might understand; you'll never catch the attention of a Believer slinging fertilizer at what they hold dear to their hearts.
She asked for advice not your crabby remark
Time has nothing to do with how holy one is. My mother would always say that its not how long youve been a christian but how much you trust God to giude your heart to do the right thing. I dont think you are less experianced to give advice but just see it like this, if this problem was for you to solve or help then she would have asked you for advice. but if shes with God then she would have known that her best answer would have come from him.
We go thru many situations, as Christians, but, the standards of Gods word, never changes. His commands remain constant.
Forgiveness... is something that we are commanded to do, over and over and over, just as Jesus did and does.
Take your pain to God, he will help you thru any situation you run into, which will be many. He hears, he knows and he understands... he is also able... to carry us thru. Prayer is the key...that unlocks the door... to Gods treasures... like forgiveness, and joy... etc.
Be blessed...

Friend troubles
(Christians or people who believe in God would be best with helping me =] Its pretty much about religion and I dont want to offend or anything)
So my best friend for three years has been going thru some things, and she has always come to me no matter...
what it is. Yesterday we were texting and I told her how I felt about what she's going thru. (Nothing bad!)
She said ...Ashleigh it's best I don't talk to you about this. I've already talk to (other friend). Because other friend and I have been Christians longer than you and her imput would be better. She and I have more wisdom than you do.
It really hurts that she said that because I went to church ever since I was 6 weeks old and I've been Christian all my life.
I was saved maybe five months ago and she said
...Me and other friend are on a higher level of Christianity then you. Ana I have NEVER sinned so bad to where I needed saved. You have I haven't and I wont...
She was pretty telling me she's better than me and can do more and is closer to God.
That also hurt me really bad...
And I know shes going thru a HARD time and falling into sin badly...it hurt me to know she falling apart and it hurts me for her to talk to me that way.
What should I do?
Or say?
Or anything?
I've been praying about it and all but I'd like advice to help me out.
