Me [28/F] with my fiance [29 M] I recently became a Christian and my relationship is in turmoil . Help

Don't blame Christ on this. Christ never said "hold out on the man you will marry". In Christ's time, getting married wasn't the big deal with legal documents it is now. You get that, right? You're basically already "married" if you live together.

On top of that, Christ wasn't a bigot. He forgave those who sinned, and he didn't chastise them for their decisions. He forgave a prostitute. You suddenly think he'd be pissed about two people in a consensual relationship having sex? Are you serious?

Read the actual Bible. If you're going to blame Jesus for things, actually get his opinion, first, instead of using completely irrelevant parts of the Bible. The Old Testament and New Teastament and entirely different things, and the parts after the death of Christ are signs of what man does without their savior to guide them, not an exact guide on what you should do.

Humans wrote the Bible. Not God. Not Jesus. Humans. Yet you treat it and the word of other humans as though it is the direct word of God. And you're using it to lie to someone you claim should be your partner. Hiding things, deceit, those are actually bad things that the bible universally frowns upon, yet you ignore that for birth control...

Augh. Nothing makes me more sick that someone twisting words of love for the sake of manipulating people and feeling high and nightly. Jesus was all about being humble and how you are no better than any person, no matter what you believe. Yet you've climbed on this high horse saying you're morally superior, and that justifies your deceit.

Don't blame Jesus for you being a liar. Blame Jesus for things like being able to live a good life. For having the opportunity to help others. For spreading love and tolerance. Not this crap you're trying to put on him.

This has nothing to do with Christ of the Bible. This has everything to do with you being a liar and wanting to use your religion as a scapegoat that you think others have no right to attack. You are a coward.
