Do you think its wrong to marry someone of a different religion?

Question

Cause i like this guy im cristian but hes jewish my freind said i would never marry him i asked why and she said cause hes jewish it would be to confusing for our children I said its about the love that matters who do you agree with me or her?

Answer 1

Not necessarily. Of course, it will be hella tough.

Answer 2

I think marriages between people of different faiths can work out very well if both people give each other honest respect.

Children can be taught about all beliefs and allowed to choose for themselves. It doesn't have to be confusing at all.

My parents had different religious beliefs and were happily married for 60 years.

Answer 3

There's nothing wrong with it. In fact I had a friend who had a Jewish parent and a Christian parent and he got to celebrate Chanukkah and Christmas! As long as you guys can respect each others religion and show your children that and let them make their own choice what to believe, things will be great.

Answer 4

It is ok to marry someone even if your not on the same religion.

1Corinthians 7:13 And the woman that hath an unbelieving husband, and he is content to dwell with her, let her not leave her husband.
1Corinthians 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

Answer 5

It speaks more about how you really feel about your religions. Do you think Christianity is really true? Do you believe that someone has to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior in order to be saved? If you do, then wouldn't you be worried about your friend's salvation? You can not go into a marriage thinking that you are going to change someone.

Perhaps you are not that serious about religion, in which case it would not matter to you. Personally, I love the fact that my wife and I, share the goal of seeking God together through Jesus Christ. It has strenghtened our marriage.

Answer 6

Could cause some problems but if you love one another you can work threw the problems. It is better for both the husband and wife to be equally yoked as the Bible teaches. My Grandmother was Catholic and Grandfather a Jew. They raised my Father and aunt and uncles Catholic. Grandpa became Catholic a few years before his death.

Answer 7

God says not to for a reason:

2Cr 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Say you're a devout Christian and your intended is devout Jewish. What happens when you have children? How will the children be raised, meaning what faith?

What road block will be encountered when you want and demand to raise them Christian and your intended wants and demands to raise them Jewish?

Hence, HUGE conflict. So, why put yourself through the trouble?

Answer 8

If he is truly Jewish, you will also have to deal with the parents. It won't be easy at all.
The children would suffer as well as you might.
Take care my friend.

Answer 9

I don't believe its a question of right or wrong. Its about compromising and planning it out if you ever marry.

Answer 10

I agree with you but, if you or him are not very tolerant of other peoples beliefs than problems are sure to happen.

Answer 11

It is not wrong. But the relationship might be challenging. Love will endure those differences though. : )
