Hello

[NewBeginning]

You know, I avoided responding to this post because I was afraid of coming off the wrong way. It's hard to understand a person through reading, and not seeing facial expression, body language, and to hear the tone of voice.


I thought for a good day and a half on how I should respond as politely as possible. Well, what you see above was the best that I could do. LOL.


I can relate to alot of what you said in your last post. I myself was not raised with a deep rooted belief system. My mother bounced to all kinds of different Christian churches.... all different denominations. I chose Catholisism because that's what I was baptised in. I had a Christian upbringing..... and I heard about Jesus all my life. It just wasn't a consistant teaching of Jesus.... but He was very present in my life, all my life. That was enough.


I did at one point go off on my own looking for the truth. And identicle to you, out of the blue.... I have no idea why..... but just typed "Islam" into the search engine. That was about two years ago. I've been reading on it and talking with Muslims ever since.


Currently I am married to a Catholic man. It is completely impossible for me to ever be a Muslim according to Sharia law. It is forbidden for a Muslim woman to be married to a kafr man. I would have to divorce him, break up a happy marriage, and ruin my children's life and childhood. My husband is good to me and my children, he loves us, and provides for us, and makes many sacrifices for us, and doesn't complain much over it either, and doesn't ask for much at all. How on earth could I throw that away. I believe God gave me such a good man to care for me and my family, why would God want me to throw him away? If I stay married to him, I worship the same..... if I divorce him..... I still worship the same........ only with a great pain inside. It's not right. I don't understand it, and I don't agree with it. I think that's wrong.


My husband would never ever in a million years convert to Islam. He practicaly hates all Muslims and Arabs. If I had ever mentioned it to him it would be disasterous. That's why I just do my own thing. Like I said.... God knows me..... He knew me before He created me..... and it's between Him and I. That's all I can do for now.


By the way.... I wasn't taken back by your post at all. I thought it was a really nice post. I haven't gotten a bad impression from anyone's post here.... everyone here seems really nice and I love visiting here and reading.


Peace.
