Serious Question between LOVE and RELIGION. What will you do in situation like this..?

Question

Here I go again.. I’m expecting to receive thumbs down for this kind of question as always… but I just want to ask this to you people.. I respect you own religion. I am nothing against your faith but this is the reality….

You are “madly/head over heals” in love with this person. You love each other so much. You get along well but you have different beliefs, religion and faith but those are not the issues because you respect each other’s faith.. The problem is your wedding.. One must give up his/her religion and convert himself/herself to other religion. What will you do? Will you give up your religion for the sake of love or you will stick with your own religion and forget about her/him?

NOTE: both of you are very much devoted with your own religion and both of you are very much in love with each other too in spite of differences in religion..

Thanks and GOD Bless!

sorry for an error. it's head over heels..

Answer 1

Well I must say thats why i stay away from people who I dated in the past who are not of the same religion as myself. I never wanted to have to decide like this myself. Because I could never give up my religion. This life is just a role play so to speak for the next life of eternity. How could I possibly give up my salvation for one person? First we must love God, then we love next our loved ones. This life is short, the next life is for eternity. Theres a big difference there. But, what would have been nice is if you would have said what each of your religions are. Maybe they arent so different. The only way into heaven is to believe that Jesus died for your sins and receive him as your saviour. As long as both of you believe in that, it doesnt matter what your religions are. John 3:16 You will both go to heaven.

Here are a few things that might help to know if you are going to heaven/or to help you to gain salvation.

Yes. The Bible is not a book of fables. Unlike other spiritual books, it does not demand blind faith. Multiple categories of evidence support the historical accuracy of the Bible as well as its claim to divine authorship.

* Ancient history supports the Bible's accuracy as a historical record.
* The Gospels provide multiple reliable accounts of Jesus' life.
* Archaeology backs up the Biblical account.
* Textual scholarship confirms that the books of the Bible have not changed since they were first written.

The most important decision you will ever make in your life is what you decide about how you get to heaven! If you die before you have the right answer to how to be saved, it will be too late. Hebrews 9: 27 says, "And as it is appointed for me(n) to die once, but after this the judgment" You may have heard that there is a "purgatory" where people can cleanse or purge their sins, but this is not taught anywhere in the Bible. You can look from cover to cover and you will not find this taught at all!

So if once we die there is not a second chance, it makes it all that much more important that we know how to get to heaven now. Do you want to take a chance and end up in eternity separated from God forever? Far too many people listen only to their church to find the answer for the question about how to get to heaven. But what if your church is wrong? When you stand before God, (and we will all stand before Him one day) will you say I "assumed" that my church had the right answer? Do you think this will satisfy God? He, no doubt, will reply, "Didn’t I give you a brain and a soul to use to search for the truth?!" Then if you are not truly right with God when that moment comes, He will say, "Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels." (Matthew 25: 41)

One of the most popular beliefs about how to get to heaven is by being good. The Bible says that there is no one that is good enough to go to heaven. "As it is written: ‘There is none righteous, no, not one…" (Romans 3: 10) "…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3: 23) "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." (Ephesians 2: 8, 9)

I am so glad the Bible says: "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23). If you want to spend eternity with God you must be born again! How do you become born again? Only Jesus’ answer can be trusted on such an important subject. "Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’" "Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’" "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up; that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3: 3, 7, 14-16)

The Bible also says, "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (John 3: 17, 18)

You now have a choice. You can believe in Him like the one thief on the cross beside Jesus did, or you can be like the other thief that didn’t believe. The entire world falls into the side of the lost or the saved. You say, "What must I do to be saved?" Someone else in the Bible asked that question and they were told, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved…" (Acts 16: 31a) Then you need to repent of your sins. "Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead." (Acts 17: 30, 31)

After this you will need to confess Jesus as LORD (GOD and Savior of your life). "But what does it say? ‘The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart’ (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10: 8-10)

I have put a link on here for a video you both can watch. Please make sure you watch the entire video, it is comprehensive meaning you wont get the whole picture if you dont watch it all.

Answer 2

Traditionally, the man will marry the woman in her church and the children will be brought up in her religion. I have no idea where that came from, but that's usually the way it has been. I really don't think Heaven is sectioned off in areas of what religion you practiced here on earth. Religion is faith in GOD. And GOD does know what's inside your heart. All these man made things on earth won't mean a thing once you're in Heaven with GOD. So why worry about what or whose religion you will practice once you're married. You have to believe.

Answer 3

Well personally I wouldn't give up my religion/beliefs because of the fact that religion is something that you truly believe in you have previously and you will forever. Even if you "convert" your heart is still going to be with the religion that you believe in and your heart is set on.. I am not sure that I would be happy with myself or life in general if I just converted to another religion even if it was for a guy that I was madly in love with.

Answer 4

Here's the way in which I seem at it. If your hearts are telling you deep down that you just must be in combination, however your faith is telling you or else, then probably that faith does not fit you as good as you believe. Maybe you must each take a well difficult seem at your perception procedure. Worrying approximately making your loved ones indignant is not a well purpose to devote your lifestyles to anything so enormous as a collection of devout beliefs. Do what makes you completely happy. If that suggests canning your church/mosque/temple to be with your loved one, then so be it. If your households love you, they will recover from it. If they are extra involved approximately what a few mythological invisible sky being thinks than they're together with your happiness, then screw them besides.

Answer 5

You could have two weddings...or....

My best friend and her hubby went through this. She is mormon and he is catholic. They only way they could agree without hurting each other and their families was to go to vegas and do it Elvis style. lol not really. But they did go to Vegas and got married in a chapel down there.

You guys should discuss it and do what you think is best. If you are truly head overs heels for each other then each of you will know exactly what to do and won't feel bad about hurting the other.

Good Luck!! ;-)

Answer 6

I will never give up my faith. I have a conviction that if the man has a faith different from mine, it only means that he is not God's perfect choice for me.

In fact, my prayer is that no man will never ever pay any romantic interest on me unless he has God's blessings to pursue me, as well as my parents and the people whom I love and respect.

Answer 7

There might not be a problem initially; but at later stages YES - there will be problems. Even one of you convert the religion to the other's; at a point of time you realize (may be ones) that it shouldn't have happened, because one cannot leave his/her roots with which he/she was born. "may be ones" is a situation which can break your relationship or can bring you nearer to the other person forever.
Go Ahed. I wish for "forever" 4 both of u.

Answer 8

I have been thur this and I didn't convert. Didn't give up my religion and we got married.....Have 2 weddings. Without going into major detail....Just respect what they do and except the same from them. It can work unless they are very deep into their religion and would want me to convert then that would be up to you or that person....

Answer 9

Compromise is the key no one should be expected to give up anything you should just expect to accept the person you love and have a mutual wedding which caters to both religions.

Answer 10

good question, the reality is I would not let my relationship go so far as a question of if I would convert because that would end the relationship. I am not a strong believer in organized religion so even if I did convert it would be phony.

Answer 11

I know of a couple who had to make this choice.She converted herself to his religion and had that wedding ceremony. A month later they had another wedding only this time her families religion.It worked out for the both of them and both families were happy.
