Can Christians stay in a relationship with someone who's not?

Question

Christians, are you out there looking for the perfect guy, the perfect girl, the "perfect Christian boy/girl?" Or are you just hoping to fall in love? If you fell in love with someone a different religion than you or with no religion at all, would you keep them or dump them and keep looking?

Dude, what the ***** fact finder?! Don't come on my questions and just post a five ******** long page answer that has nothing to do with my question! I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO CONVERT ME TO ISLAM YOU PERV

Answer 1

I always thought if you love someone then you accept them for who they are, religious beliefs included. Couples in this postion should respect each other's spiritual orientations.

Answer 2

Let me see if I can spare you the ranting self promotion and answer the question. There is no perfect person she does not exist. I'm not a Christian and I can't be in relationship with a woman who is, my views are to different. I don't believe it's gay people messing up traditional marriage. I'm to laid back to be a Christian in deed. I don't like Christan music or movies and I don't want my daughters indoctrinated. I don't share the devout Christian view of premarital sex and I won't date a woman who does. I'll never wear a WWJD bracelet and I'd resent a woman praying at her church for me to see the light and leave my evil ways. A relationship can't be nurtured in an environment where one person feels the other is lacking a key truth about life. I've read the bible I read Proverbs that does not mean I'm Christan it just means I see merit in the text as literature. I being non-Christan wouldn't date a devout or religious Christan. Why should they wanna date me ? If you did fall for me I'd make you miserable at pot lucks where they talked about what they talk about. I'd not be a good head of household because I think that is about action and not appointment. So if the room unemployed dead beat wife beater quoted scripture to me, I'd rock his boat. I think all you nice Christan girls need to stay away from all us big bad baby sacrificing pagans. We'll only break your heart. It matters maybe not today but down road it matters.

P.S Factfinder your post is overkill. I've read some long novels but yours I couldn't navigate so I suggest you learn to condense the knowlodge you find into simple points.

Answer 3

Paul answered this very question. His answer was that while it was best for those intent upon marriage to marry believers, his directions should not be construed to mean that those whose spouse was not a believer should seek a divorce. On the contrary; he stated that it could not be known whether the believer's faith might serve to provide a means whereby the unbeliever might be led to the faith, then saved. As a matter of personal conviction, I know that I do not envision myself as having much in common with those whose beliefs are nonexistent or apathetic(atheist or agnostic), because they do not share a core set of principles with me--- and I hold those beliefs dear. As for other 'gods', I hold none to be valid. If someone else does, then they do not share my beliefs, and cannot share my innermost self. Does that make any one of us 'perfect'? NO... It just makes us incompatible. After all: Oil and water don't mix, no matter how hard you shake them together.

Answer 4

I'm not Christian, but I'm not not Christian. If a Christian dumps someone for not believing the same as they do, they are contradicting their own beliefs by judging another and thinking that they are different or superior to the non-christian, which is not what Christianity is about. It's meant to be about respecting others beliefs and everyone being equal.

Answer 5

Well, the Bible does say not to marry anyone who isn't a Christian if you're a Christian...HOWEVER. I was leaning towards Christianity when I met my husband. He was an atheist. Now, I am a Christian, and he's agnostic. I don't bring up religion with him (normally, and if I do, it's brief, like after we saw "The Da Vinci Code"), but I will answer his questions, and he knows it. He does ask me a lot of questions.
I'm fine with that. Other Christians aren't.

Answer 6

Tell u about myself. I'm in a relationship with a guy who is a christian. Why, i'm a free-thinker since i'm young, but it does not make any difference. We are still just in love.
It does not matter at all, as long as u love each other. Somemore we have more things to argue on the religion things, like he can talk about his god and all those related topics and i can listen and make remarks. In fact now i'm starting to understand more of christinity and find it is not bad.
We are be in love and forever...

Answer 7

For a relationship the first priority is to be given to knowing each other, not the religion. All religions teach discrimination. The most sacred feeling in human body is sex. It is built into our body by the Creator. If both keep that wisdom between your relationship - the life can be wonderful, heavenly...

Answer 8

Aren't we all Human ??

And for Humanities sake fact finder - you idiot - don't post long messages that doesn't make any sense and no body would read. It's not copying and pasting - but answering with the knowledge you have.

Answer 9

Bible says "Do not be unequally yoked". Which means if you have a weak horse don't pair him with a heavy load. It's talked about in reference to relationships and means that if you are Christian you need to be with a Christian.

Answer 10

It says in the bible to not become unequally yoked,or you will regret it.However,I believe if you love someone,you'll try to convert them to whatever your religion is,to make the two of you equal.So they can stay in the relationship,but the bible warns that it will not work out.

Answer 11

ever body has right to choose the partner to live with but mind it we live in a global village and live with other than us so when we marry then there will be some conflict b/w two as no body can thiink a like always.
