well, shes Mormon i'm not, I regularly attend the local evfree church i've done some looking into the religion and i've decided that its not consistant enough for me to consider conversion for myself, and shes been raised mormon so the idea of her being openminded is relativly mute. what should i do next look more into the religion and look for ways of which i might convert her, and still stay with the relationship or should I stay out of the relationship because the bible says that you shouldn't date people of a different religion. i don't know much about the verse i just heard from my youth pastor that it says that i don't remember the verse. and i've done some reading into the dating world of LDS, it went so far to say that you could consider a couple not marryed in the temple"damned" because they cannot reap the fruits of a eternal marriage. I don't know i find this all so confusing, i'm trying to be as openminded as possible on this but i'm not sure... please enlighten me.

yeha alright, sorry guys i'm really new at this, tthe second one is jsut a copy of the first, becausei wasn't sure if it would over right the first one or what, bah... well anyways, to the silver_foxx those links don't work, i tryed of them the only one that got through was the lds and that sent me to logical design solutions. and too destiny, I didn't say i NEEDed to convet her, I was trying to ask what i should do, should i continue relationship, and ignore that area, should i break up with her on religious dispute, or should i try to convert her, If anyone else can come up with better alternatives i'm open to hear them. those websites did help. but one of the verses i've read that kind of pushes me away from the mormon religion was galatians 1:8-12
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=galatians%201;&version=31;
I'm open to more discusion on this,

If she is a strong follower you won't get anywhere without taking her to the Temple

What? That is crazy. I was not only raise in the LDS church but I have lived in the damn bubble (Provo, Utah) most of my life. And let be the first to say not all Mormon's are close minded. My mom has always said that my mind was so open that thing were going to fall in. Not everyone in the Mormon faith has a closed mind. I'm really sorry that your girlfriend does. And if you do decide to get married ouside the temple you won't be "damned". It's nice that you are trying to understand her and what she believes. But I would walk away from this if she doesn't try to understand you and your religion, because if she doesn't now thing won't change latter.

I was an evangelical Christian and joined the LDS church. My marriage was tough after that, mostly because my husband (evangelical) was really anti-Mormon and quite rude to me about things which meant a lot to me. More than anything I wanted him to join the church and for us to be sealed in the temple. A mixed marriage is tough. In the end we divorced, not because of the religion but because he was alcoholic and had several affairs. (By their fruits...)
I am getting married in August to a wonderful worthy priesthood holder and returned missionary, and we will be sealed for time and all eternity in the temple. I cannot imagine that I would ever want to marry, or even date, someone who could not offer me this. But if your girlfriend is dating you, perhaps she can.

Mormon and Evfree Christian are both denominations of Christianity. Some disagree, but I believe that they are the same religion. In both one loving, supreme God is worshipped who gave His Son Jesus who died for our sins so that we could be saved, right? (I am not familiar with Evfree.) She is still of the same religion, then. There are just some interpretational and belief differences. Good luck. If you love her and you think you two can make it work out and be at peace with the marriage, then get married. Talk it out with her to make sure, I guess. I hope this helps. Do what you feel is best and right.

My Sis-in-lawa is Mormon. Her Husband is a Baptist. They both believe in, and love Christ and live good christian lives.
They have been married for 5 years, and respect each others belefs.
The only problem is now they are wanting to have kids.....but what religion to raise them in is a problem they can't get over.
Look to the future, and see what you are getting into, and make sure the relationship is right (pray about it) before you invest alot of heart into it. If it is a dead-end street, better not go there.

If you truly love her you will let her choose her own religion for herself.
If you love her naturally "Til death do you part" sounds awful. WE believe that if you are sealed in the temple you are together for eternity. Wouldn't a life without her be a "damned" one?

It will make things very hard if you are not the same religion... Think about it... Your God is supposed to be the center of your life, how can you make someone who does not share your views on the most important thing in your life your partner in everything.

2 Cor. 6:14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Mormons and Christians are not the same.

if your stating that you decided that its not consistent enough for you and you need to convert her just Break up, I am sure there are to many discrepancies in your religion for her :)
as for me I am getting married to a non LDS man in July but we have respect for each other and our beliefs
