I have many christian friends who married muslim men. It is true that we revere Jesus and believe his birth to be a miracle of God. If you want to stay Christian make sure you make that point very clear. You can maintain your religion and your love for this man and have a wonderful family. Please be warned: A muslim man can marry a christian or jewish woman- but his children must be Muslim. These are things to think about, but if you love him and love God, then it can work. You just have to really sit down and talk to him about all of these things. Good luck to you! God bless.

It's generally accepted that a Muslim man can marry any woman "of the book". Ie: A Muslim, a Jew, or a Christian.
And yes, the two religions can definately work together in marriage. I've known two couples personally that have a wonderful marriage, with children, and they are both very happy.
Beofre marriage, it's important to sit down with your prostpective husband and decide if your ideals mesh with one anothers - how do you intend on raising your children? Can you agree to a compramise? It's entirely possible if there is communication and honesty.
Good luck!

The Lord has already answered your prayer in His word..."Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers." 2 Cor 6:14
Does this mean God doesn't love your friend who is Muslim, or that Christianity is a doctrine of exclusion? By no means! What Christ accomplished on our behalf is freely available to ALL. The Lord loves all equally.....
However, He sees and knows something you can't - the hearts of men. And He knows that marriage between believers and unbelievers will as often as not bring unnecessary heartache and struggles to His children. If he's not a believer, then don't pursue a relationship or marry him.
Conversely, God made provision for those who would be born again after they were married....oftentimes one spouse would accept Christ while the other would reject Him. If you were already married to this man, then God's Word instructs you not to leave an unbelieving spouse, but influence him by letting him observe the fruits of your personal relationship with the Lord....
However, since you're already a believer and not married yet, God warns you not to hook up with an unbeliever for your own welfare. Believe me, the Lord loves this Muslim far more than you do, and He doesn't want to lose him either.
But these instructions from God's word will serve to protect you in the meantime. It may be hard to accept just now, but He won't answer your prayer any differently than He's already written in His Word.
Wishing you all the best....
ps - Believing Jesus was a "messenger" or "prophet" of God is not the same thing as acknowledging Him as the Son of God....

I would learn about his religion before I did anything. Even if he is a very liberal Muslim (and by the way Muslims are those that follow Islam) his parents may not be.
They believe Jesus to be a prophet, and Mohammed to be a prophet. There are a few Muslims on Y!A that will give you honest answers.

I think it is perfectly possible for interfaith relationships to work out. However, each person inn the relationship has to truly understand that he/she will not change his/her partner's beliefs over time. If one person's beliefs change, that's fine, but one shouldn't go into the relationship hoping the beliefs will eventually change.
I know a Muslim married to a Hindu, and they get along just fine. They are a model of interfaith relations.
Finally, it is true that Muslims believe Jesus was a messenger of God.

First of all Muslims do believe in Jesus, but we believe he was a prophet not God. It is perfectly permissible for a Muslim man to marry a christian women. It can work if you both want it to. But i have to say that your children would be raised as Muslim so if you don't want that then i say don't marry a Muslim man.

I'm a Catholic myself, supposedly one of the stuffiest of all the Christian faiths, and I think you can make it work if you really want to. God doesn't make mistakes. If the two of you are meant to be together, then you should be together. Whether he belives Jesus is the son of God or simply a messenger of God should not affect your love for him, and from your wording I have a feeling it doesn't. I wish you luck and love. Good luck!

i think of, to a pair degree, many Christians and Catholics are upset with their own faith because of the fact various prepared faith is corrupt or isn't as adherent as they pretend to be. There have not been many situations of pedophilia pronounced in Islam and a few human beings (no longer me, yet some) are offended via the becoming presence of homosexuality in the church. They see the stern adherence perceived in Islam as a welcome substitute from the hypocrisy of their own church homes. some can be interested in the perceived ability that Islam has in that they motivate absolute faith - to the quantity that there are suicide bombers prepared to die for his or her faith. This point of dedication could nicely be awe inspiring for people who're lost and searching for something to have self assurance in. I ought to show that i'm no longer pracicing any faith and all of that's hypothesis.

Remain separate. Do not be unequally yoked with non-belivers.
Muslims believe in Jesus. They acknowledge Him as a man and a prophet.
However, they deny the Deity of Jesus Christ because the Qu'ran says God has no son.
Muslims will tell you that they promote peace. But the truth is the they promote peace only through personal submission to Islam.

Christian women are haram (unlawful) for Muslim men but if your friend tells you Muslims believe in Jesus he is not a Muslim and follows a warped and corrupt version of Quran and Islam.
There is no Jesus in the Quran and Isa wil never be equal with Jesus no matter how hard they try, nor will Christians ever be people of the Book.
Your friend is a Muslim-for-Jesus so you are free to start your rlationship.
