I've been listening to you guys for a while, questions answers etc. There are some attractive christians and non-christians outhere, we all have urges and at times opposites can seem to attract.
I'm a committed christian, not boasting, but i have no T.V., no HiFi, no Radio, no Music, i don't go clubbing, could you live with that?

To answer the first question: yes a non-christian and a committed christian could have a great relationship. It would probably hinge on the christian not trying to convert their other half the whole time, and the non-christian not being anti-religious.
As to could I live with your abstinence from most forms of media: no I couldn't. Could some people? - Yes. But I think you'll have problems finding many Christians who are that committed, let alone any non-Christians who are happy to live without all that. And even if you do find someone: what's the chance that you are actually emotionally compatible? So in summary: it's possible for you to find someone who fits all that, but in my opinion very unlikely.
And to those who were saying about the lack of TV etc. being stupid: people with TVs tend to sit and veg in front of them for hours on end, rather than reading religious books/working on their religious life etc. The pastor at my parent's church advises not having a TV, and he doesn't have one. Having a TV doesn't make you any less of a christian, but some people avoid having one as they find it helps their religious life.

My mother, a devout Catholic, and my father, a devout Atheist, were married for 53 years.
Religiously, I take after my mother. But I learned a lot about life as seen from "the other side" from my father, as well.
Atheists aren't necessarily "evil." My father had more goodness and compassion in him than do most Christians I know.
As for TV, radio, music, etc., it's what you make of them. They're merely information and entertainment media. How one digests that information is what matters.
For example, I've watched several movies and read many books about Adolf Hitler. I'm not a Nazi...quite the contrary...I'm I card carrying member of the Anti-Defamation League and the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

My spouse is "born returned" what ever meaning. i'm an Atheist by and by. we've some exciting discussions. i will grant you, we've not been married long, purely 35 years with 4 babies and two times that many grand-little ones. so which you tell me, is it available? BTW, we've TVs, radios, hear to song, force autos, and my spouse easily wears slacks to artwork. i think of she might disagree including your posture. basically because of the fact it became into invented after the Bible became into written does not inevitably make it undesirable. you should exercising your faith as you notice greater healthful and that i might by no skill argue that with anybody yet is your sacrifices fairly a factor of your faith, basically a private preferance or is it some thing you do to impression others? you're saying no longer something some telephone, or God Forbid, that evil computer. Sorry, I even have shifted into "a talk with my spouse" mode. See how we live? this is undesirable, i actually doubt we are able to stay jointly for better than 20 or 30 greater years. sturdy luck looking a gal. basically bear in techniques, you're along with her because of the fact of what she IS, no longer what you additionally could make of the uncooked textile.

You sound like you take your faith quite seriously!
Once you are in the NT of the Bible no where does it state that you can not marry outside of your faith. It does state that you would need to continually try to bring that person to conversion.
(1 Cor. 7:12; 1 Pet. 3:1).
It would be easier to find an equally yoked arrangement. But the best advise to a committed Christan would be to pray and take it up with the Lord

I seriously doubt it. He'd want a TV, radio, music, and probably want to go clubbing. You don't have to be non-christian to want those things. Besides christians often try to convert non christians which could offend him. And if you made it all the way to marrage and kids your kids would be so incredibly torn and confused while choosing whether to be christian or not.

Do you believe in love can move mountains?
Well the reason I am asking is you might bump into some one who is totally your opposite and as you said at times opposite attracts and this person maybe the person you will be staying with thr rest of your life.
There would be a catch though, if this opposite person and you get attracted to each other, who will be the one to change? hopefully it won't be you. Or you both might end up in a consensual agreement with in yourselves that you can do what you like to do as long as it does not end up disrespecting one or the other.
Have faith, things happen.

You have no T.V, no HIFI, no Music, and you don't go out... yet you have a PC with internet connection.
I fail to see in the bible how having a TV makes you any less of a christian.
I'm a roman catholic and I have relationships with women who are not. I don't go to church everyweek but yet still believe in God.

I couldn't handle the whole 'no music' part, but someone out there probably could. Love is love. I don't really think it knows any learned moral codes. Besides, who doesn't like a fantastic argument? You might discover a lot about yourself by being exposed to different values.

hey I'm Christian too, i certainly believe you can be friends with people who aren't christian, by showing the love of Jesus through you your friends may become christian too, you cant really sleep with people b4 marriage or anything and you shouldn't get into a romantic relationship with a non christian, but I'm sure you can still find the right person for you, without compromising your believes and without clubbing lol
