I'm going to take a minute and be serious here in request for help.Last night my girlfriend of 2 months opened up to me and told me she is Wiccan (Please no DH jokes) and has been practicing witch craft for the past 2 years or so. Now I know this is wrong and some people say I should stop going out with her, but personally I think I can help her because she has other problems too.And as a christian I was walking in love and told her it didn't bother me so I wouldn't hurt her feelings and just asked her some questions about it.Anyway she got really upset talking about it last night because she knows I'm very christian and doesn't want to really talk about it anymore. I really need help with this because it tearing at me emotionally and I want to help her and the ultimate goal would be to get her saved.So I'm coming here asking for your prayers on the situation, thanks in advance.

Well
try to have a meaningful conversation about religion with her
if she gets angry and defensive and doesn't want to talk about it you need to break up with her.

You don't want to try to debate her into submission, but letting it slide is just calling for an unhealthy situation down the road. It's a tough position, keep us updated if you can.
Prayers in.

Paul advices us in 1 Corinthians 7 that you don't have to break up with an unbelieving partner if it works. Note that he's talking about a husband/wife and not about a 2 month relationship though.
I don't think you have to break up if it's working perfectly fine as a healthy relationship, but it sounds as if that might not be the case. I personally wouldn't break up untill it really goes wrong, but you should take care to break up before things start taking their toll on you, if it turns out to be an unhealthy relationship.
I'll be praying.

I don't plan on breaking up with her. We are good together, so far, and I see no reason to.I just want to help her and continue in the good relationship we have right now. I'll keep you updated.

Why not just accept her?
(Being honest)

Haste, I will be praying for you. The best advice I can give you is to pray that God will show you what you need to do, so that you can make the right decision. Otherwise, accept her and love her for who she is. Show her the love of Christ, and she may come around. Furthermore, don't let her pull you away from your own faith. If you begin to feel as though this relationship is compromising your own relationship with Christ, it may be time to end it. If you want to talk, I'm just a PM away.
Brent, you're skating on thin ice. Another post like that in this thread, or any other thread regarding prayer requests and you will be banned. There will be no quarter on this. These are not threads to bring up your views on religion or spirituality; these are threads where people come to seek support and help in their times of need. Posting the way you have posted in this thread is disrespectful and unacceptable. The offending posts and all related posts have been removed to insure the continued maturity and respectfulness of posts in this thread.

I would agree with the others- don't just break up with her but definitely be vigilant with your own walk here. Also- do research so you can understand what she believes. Don't try to force conversations either- pray for an opportunity and for the right words to use in that opportunity. All you have to do is plant the seed- God and the Holy Spirit does the rest.

Unfortunately, this girl is moving away now and we never had the talk of Wicca/Christianity. All I can do now is pray that she'll find Christ through somebody else.
