College-aged Christian son being led astray by Hindu girl

My Christian son started college in the fall; and is now 7+ hours away. Within 5 weeks, he started dating a non-Christian girl who is leading him astray. My son witnessed her being disrespectful toward me in our home; but started dating her anyway. We have caught her in countless lies already; and when my son confronts her, she "explains them away" with more lies; or says that she or we misunderstood. She gave him statues of Buddha to keep in his room although she knew he is a Christian. She's done so many things already, I'd have to write a book to tell them all here. In short, this girl and my son could possibly lose their scholarships because the scholar program holds them to a high level of standards. Please pray that my son will be delivered from any non-Christian influence; and that he will be forgiven. Also pray that my family will be restored to the loving, trusting Christian family that it once was; and that my husband and I will do and say all the right things to bring about a positive outcome. Thank you.

I agree, it is not the religion. Hindu is way older than Christianity, and people lived and were noble even before Christianity. Maybe you should give her a chance, I wasn't given the chance to explain a situation and I lost most loved people. That you think you shouldn't have contact with people who do not believe in Christ I find most insulting to me and others here who are not Chrostians. Isn't the Christianity about mercy and toleration?

lacy5 - 8 months ago: We have given her MANY chances for the sake of keeping our family together. Our son is our only child. I even sat down with this girl one day and had a one-on-one heart-to-heart with her only to learn later that most of what she told me druing that 3 hours was lies. I'm sorry to have offended you. That was not my intent. I obviously came to the wrong place to ask for prayers and understanding; and will probably unsubscribe now. Also, it's obvious that you are not going to pray for my situation; however, I am a loving person despite what you believe and will pray for your situation. Thank you for your time.

I don't believe her religion is what causing her problems. It's her personality - to be the way she is. God does not approve, of liars, and those that act to manipulate others in their lives. I will pray for God to show your son the truth - about this relationship - and that God prevents this girl from harming your family in any way. Amen.

lacy5 - 8 months ago: Thank you for your understanding and prayers. And, you're right - it may not be her religion causing her problems. I will keep you and your situation in my prayers as well.
