I say that everyone should do what they think will make themselves happy.
I probably would not marry someone from another religion. Too many differences.
But that's just me.

You can marry whoever you want to marry, but God strongly advises that you marry someone that has the same beliefs as you do.
2 Cor:614-16 Don't team up with those who are unbelievers. How can goodness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? What harmony can there be between Christ and the Devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever? And what union can there be between God's temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God.
I became a Christian twenty years after getting married. My husband and I have a good solid marraige, but because he refuses to believe, we cannot communicate about the things of God together. This does cause a gap in communication which God disapproves of. In a Christian marraige two people are to be so close together that they are as one.

Islam does not permit a Muslim woman to marry a non Muslim man. And I think the same is true about Christianity, A Christian cannot marry a Muslim.
If one is true Christian he must not marry a Muslim and a True Muslim woman should not marry a Non Muslim man.
However, I personally believe, those who do not care about religion, can marry any one from any religion. They must understand one another and must care about each other.

Yes.. it can work.... I'm a christian and my husband has been a muslim, along with other religions and he learns from me and I from him. One of you guys stated a scripture about being unequally yoked with UNBELIEVERS..
Who said muslims were unbelievers? They are very strong believers.. the true muslims are.. and where in the bible does it state what religion God was? God was a universal god, not a separated God as everything is today.
It goes to show u that there was no religion back then.
It was called Faith, to have:
Knowledge of him,
Wisdom of his ways,
Understanding of him and his ways.
Religion is man-made. We all pray and believe in one God at the end of the day.
The muslim teachings has some real true insight in it, as well as the christian. Its all about what the truth is and u find a little of it in every faith.
When 2 people have an open mind, anything can work.
An open mind will get u far in life.

Well here is the answer that Christians must give because it is what God has said...
In the Bible 2 Corinthians 6:14 says:
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?"
This is the clear answer to you question, and the answer is no, they shouldn't do it. Just as they shouldn't marry an atheist or a satanist or a hindu. God forbid it.

I, a Christian, was married to a Jew. We were also on opposite ends of the political spectrum. I guess you could say, in our case, opposites definitely attracted. But we both shared the belief that a person has the right to be who they are, believe what they chose and had a mutual respect for one another. We had a Menorah and a Christmas tree. We celebrated Easter and Passover. Although we differed, we did not argue. We discussed and debated our differences, but never fought about them. We ultimately respected each other's choices. We didn't try to change each other. We simply loved one another. And we were both very happy right up until the moment he passed away.

It could be a rough life. I would think very seriousely. As far as I know there are several denominations that allow intermarriages but there are some that would turn you and your spouse out of the church as soon as you were married

Yes, but it's not advisable. because two different religions would only cause constant debate and discord among the two. Because "for instance", Christians believe in Jesus Christ as God, whereas Muslims believe in Allah as their god. They also believe that Jesus Christ will be judged by Allah.
Another fact is : God created 1 man & 1 woman to become as one unit. As a Christian, I totally disagree with Muslim men exercising their belief towards obtaining multiple wives. There should be only 1 marriage bond. (Man & Wife) "not wives". If I'm deeply in love with a man and he becomes my husband, I would'nt want to share him with other women because you don't really know their past sexual encounters. It's better to be more safe than sorry!!! Know your partner inside & out before you make that major step into marriage. The Christian would be better off joining togehter with another believer (in Jesus Christ) as the same goes for a Muslim. You must be in agreement together or it will just cause drastic problems & regret later on.

Not according to Christian way.
Christ Jesus’ opposition to a mingling of different faiths is forcefully shown by an illustration he used on one occasion. Certain ones had stated, “The disciples of John fast frequently and offer supplications, and so do those of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink,” and to this Jesus replied: “No one cuts a patch from a new outer garment and sews it onto an old outer garment; but if he does, then both the new patch tears away and the patch from the new garment does not match the old. Moreover, no one puts new wine into old wineskins; but if he does, then the new wine will burst the wineskins, and it will be spilled out and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins. No one that has drunk old wine wants new; for he says, ‘The old is nice.’”—Luke 5:33-39, NW.
By this illustration Jesus pointed out that he was bringing in an entirely new system of things, and that it was not to be attached to the groups that followed John the Baptist or the Pharisees. The disciples of Jesus were not to attach themselves to such groups or conform to their customs or ceremonies. Jesus was not bringing in this new system of things to patch up or bolster up or prolong old worn-out systems of worship that were ready for the discard. The previous religious systems could not contain the new system of things, were not adequate for this new system, could not exist alongside the new system, but would be brought to their end by the new system of things.

Christianity is not one to do the whole "you have to marry this type of person" or "you cant marry this race of person". It depends on the kind of person you are. What you as a person are, and how you feel with that special other.
so yes....a christian can marry a muslim. There's nothing wrong with that at all.

i've always heard it taught that a christian *can* marry a muslim, but that it would put a real strain on the marriage. if the people don't believe the same fundamental things about life, it would be hard to make a marriage work.
