Christians: what is your opinion of a muslim/christian relationship?

Question

I have been dating a muslim for almost 3 years now. Although he is a great person and I love him very much, something deep inside bothers me, like the bible verse that says do not be yoked together with unbelievers. II Cor. 6:14--7:1

He is a somewhat non-practicing muslim

Thanks ahead of time for all your answers and help

Answer 1

I can't remember if it's the letter of James or the letter of Peter but one of them says a believing wife can justify an unbelieving husband. (and vice versa) That is to say take him or her to heaven with them...

All too often a mixed faith marriage results in laxity. Neither of you wants to hurt the other by being strong in your individual faiths so you both get very lax about having any faith at all.

It would take a strong faith commitment and a strong belief in each other. Total trust that he won't find someone he likes better in his religion and vice versa. Be able to go your separate ways and trust in fidelity. Keep your individual faiths strong. and have something to share when you see each other.

Answer 2

it really is extremely difficult to make a wedding ceremony artwork at the same time as the companions are of two diverse religions. highly 2 religions as diverse as those. yet if you're no longer intending to marry and characteristic toddlers, relationship someone of an truly diverse faith will be very exciting and tutorial. So, in case you want him and he likes you, no harm in relationship. Be prepared on your households to have some subject matters. And assume to finally end up coping with a way of life conflict or extremely some way of life clashes. which will be as relaxing because it could be off-putting. keep speaking and also you'd be ok. @ Addison -- using the reality that fundies of both those religions evaluate the different genuinely Spawn of devil, i'd could disagree. non secular moderates would no longer have such deep complications.

Answer 3

You are exactly on the right path with your thinking. You too may get along fine but you are not equally yoked. First of all, you don't believe in the same God. You don't have the same beliefs and it will only cause problems in the long run. What religion would you like your future children to follow/ Don't you want your WHOLE family to be saved and know who Jesus is?

Answer 4

It will become a problem. I am a Muslim and have had several friends marry christian women and once they have children everything goes to hell.

Someone will have to give in and someone will lose.

Also, this Muslim bro shouldn't be dating you in the first place. Dating is haram in Islam.

Answer 5

I hope you don't date him, because dating outside of their religion or what the muslim call the infidel will affect you because you will have to put of with his people and his family that will look at you as a non-believer. It is silly that in Iraq they are all divided, and they are killing each other for being different kinds of muslims, then obviously they have some sort of superiority complex about their beliefs being the best, so if you are christian you probably need to date a christian like yourself, because you don't need him trying to convert you, because they are pretty good at it, that is why their religion is growing so fast, because of their brain washing technique, you will turn muslim before you know it.

Answer 6

First see the movie with Salley Fields, "Not without my daughter."
their culture teachers women are nothing and without Christ in your life, what help do you have? Run for the woods.
Talk to a women who have been sucked in by the prospects of marrying a man who is a doctor and educated in USA.
Upon getting to know his family and his culture her life was a living hell. When she got a divorce he insisted that he got the children. Women in his culture have no rights.
She said, "If only I knew then what I know now," in her book she cautioned any women from marrying a muslim man.
She almost made a fatal error. He lovingly begged her to go to the middle east to visit the rest of his family. Before considering divorce. He had plans she found out later to have her killed and take the children. Don't even consider it. Run don't walk away.

Answer 7

It is very difficult to be yoked to a unbeliever. My husband is not Christian, he has no spiritual belief system. I cannot understand how he does not feel Christ or how His love does not bring him to his knees in praise weeping knowing how undeserving we are of Jesus love and the gift of salvation. Pray......let the Lord answer your questions.

Answer 8

You will have nothing but problems in your marriage. It would be like dragging dead weight around.
I suppose that would go for a muslim as well.
That is why the Bible warns you of this.

Answer 9

Just think about how it will effect your decisions when it comes to children if you get married... will you want them learning about the muslim religion or Christianity?

Answer 10

I'm assuming he must be a non-pratising or liberal Muslim.

I knew a semi-pratising Muslim who was married to a semi-pracisting Hispanic Catholic.
