"Of all the hindrances in the world, why does it have to be religion?"
For weeks now, I've been boggled by this question in my mind. I can't understand why two persons can't be together if they don't have the same religion? I've been asking God, I've been searching for answers. Isn't that every religion teaches everyone to love one another? Why does it have to be a hindrance of love?
So why am I blogging about this? Basically, I and my baby don't belong to the same religion. I am a Roman Catholic; he's a member of Iglesia ni Cristo. And sadly, Bible doesn't permit couple with two different religion to be together. So after all these years, we're on the wrong track. We've realized that we're committing a mortal sin if we'll continue to have that "relationship". But still, the love doesn't fade. We know that we still love each other and we'll both waiting for the right time (when the two of us are already independent and stable).
Do you know the application in Facebook "See what God wants you to know?"? I click that to see mine and here's what it told me "God wants you to know that you've been talking to God too much, and not listening enough.". So maybe, I should have a quiet time to listen to God's answer to me. I'll go to church tomorrow to seek for His words and advices on what to do.
I love him still, though religion became a hindrance. We can make it. I know we can. We always can. <3

Does religion really matter?
Tinanong ko na rin 'yan sa sarili ko nung nanliligaw palang sa akin si Paulo. Roman Catholic ako, Evangelical Christian siya. Pero ang sabi ko sa sarili ko, I'll cross the bridge when I get there.
Nung mga 3 years na kami, naging almost cause 'yun ng break-up namin. Pero sabi ng tatay ni Paulo, hindi naman religion ang papakasalan ni Paulo, ako. At isa pa, iisa lang naman ang Panginoon na sinasamba natin, iba-iba lang ng paraan.
Ngayon, 8 years na kami. And I really don't see religion to be a hindrance. Willing akong magchange ng religion, if I should follow. I know God will understand. Siya at siya pa rin naman ang Panginoon natin.
You too can work it out. Enjoy the love you have for each other. Let God direct both of you to the right path.
@nadine: Thanks. :) Yes, I know we can. :)
@ate madz: Sabi daw kasi sa Bible, bawal maging magkasintahan ang magkaiba ang religion. But, nawala nga yung word na kami, within our hearts, kami pa rin. :) So, parang walang nagbago. Hindi lang namin nilabag yung nasa Bible. And I'm also willing to change my religion. :) Thanks Ate Madz. :) Magtithree years na kami, and ito nga ang dahilan kng bakit kami nagbreak pero naniniwala ako na kami pa rin sa huli. :) We're just following muna the words of God. :)
