okay my boyfriend doesn't believe in god and I want him to believe in him. he believes we have gaurdians and demons to corrupt us but he doesn't believe in god or satan. I'm wondering if there is realy anything I can do to make him see that god and satan are really there. I'm asking for prayer that I can turn him towards god, and I need some advice on how to do that. Thanks

First of all...I'd like to reccomend not dating someone who doesn't have the same beliefs as you in the first place. I don't mean to preach at you, but it just makes for complications - I know this from personal experience... and God strongly advises against it (even in the bible!). 2nd Corinthians 6 tells us;
14Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[a]? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
People, if they do come to God, come in their own time. Other than your prayers, and prayer of other people there isn't a lot you can do but be a good example for them...Because you can't make anybody become a christian or believe in God.
If you go to church, you should invite him to church with you. Encourage him to talk about what he believes, but don't try to force anything on him because that can be troublesome. Still, encourage him to ask questions about something you believe in if he doesn't understand.
Still...
Anyways, I hope this helps even a little ^^

I have to say that I share Kat's concerns. I'm anything but a relationship expert, but starting one with someone who isn't a fellow beleiver just seems... problematic.

Outside of that, I'd just have to ask exactly what he DOES believe. Where is he getting his ideas from? It'll really help to know just where he's comming from, so he doesn't feel like you're just preaching down at him.

Have you asked him "why not?" I mean, if he believes in angels and demons, who created them? Sounds like he might be falling into the currently popular God isn't out there fad. Don't let him get lazy.
