Is two people of different faiths getting married allowed? I am a Muslim girl marrying a Christian guy in a Christian church, is there any boundaries in the Christian bible that says one must marry someone of the same faith?
I suppose it depends on:
1) How religious you are & how religious he is 2) Where you live 3) What your (and his) family religious traditions are
In some Muslim-dominated countries, the person marrying a Muslim must convert to Islam, and their children will automatically be Muslims from birth, and no one can leave the faith. Some families still insist on this tradition even if the country they live in allow inter-religious marriage (and those that allow religious freedom).
For Christian faiths, it depends on which denomination that the partner is from, and also what the protocols are for your partner's parish. For some Catholic parishes, it's imperative for the non-Christian to go through seminars, and then Baptism, First Holy Communion, and then Confirmation, to be able to marry her Catholic partner in church by a Catholic priest. Some Christian faiths don't require the non-Christian to convert. If you are in a more liberal country you should be able to marry with no problems if you want to.
So it really depends on many factors, you should really talk to your partner about it to discuss what's okay with each other.
Eh, that is a tough one. The bible does say a Christian shouldn't marry a non-Christian, but if he is only a Christian by name and because he was raised that way, but doesn't actually believe the bible it probably doesn't make a difference.
Although, have you thought of going to church with him, and maybe becoming a Christian? (or I guess vice versa, him be a muslim)
yes the bible sayes you should not be uneuqal yoke thats is to say with some who does not believe in jesus or in agreement meaning you too do not believe the same God how will come together or beleive together about anything or pray together it is say that there will be confusion and God not the author of confusion
yes it's not ok in the bible for 2 people from a different religions to marry each other check my question under the title""controversial marriages""the debate in it will answer you.I have attached some quotes from the bible in it you can find it under the name lara 1980
Marriage is hard enough as it is, it is made even harder, when two different religions try to become one,. under the same roof. I admire your love, for one another, however, my personal opinion is that you are setting yourself up for many hardships. I wish you the best.
How will you raise your children? The problem is, no matter what you agree on today, odds are you will both want to raise your kids the way each of you were raised once you actually have some.
The two of you should meet with his minister and ask the meaning of 2 Corinthians 6:14.
...and THEN ask him to explain the conflicting message in [1 Corinthians 7:12-14]
Actually,if you're a Muslim girl,you cant marry anyone outside your religion!:)
