Christians are continuing to dilute their religions belief as it becomes more obvious to more people its all a load of crap.
If there was a god why would he care?

It is not a sin!! I do not know why many people have this perception. It is like marrying out, a Chinese marrying to an Indian.
God is fair and just.It would not be a sin! Can't people be more open. I believe all Gods exist from all religions. I mean even if you just believe in your own faith, at least respect other religions.
Do you know it's because of all these, Israel has all the so-called "Anti-religious wars" with different religions.
My point is every one should be open. It is defintiely not a sin in God's eyes. Think about it. Ask a pastor if yu're unsure. I'm just looking forward to the day when everyone can accept other religions(not convert as in acknowledge) and respect them.

Living together without marriage is sin no matter if he is believer or non-believer.
I don't think it's a sin to have a relationship with a non-Christian but the Bible gives us the advice not to.
The purpose of marriage is primary to bring glory and honor to God. Men are the spiritual head in the marriage.
This is how God set the family structure up. God made the first married couple in a certain order and gave them certain duties. The man is responsible for carrying out his duties as a husband and for loving his wife as Christ loved the church (Eph. 5:25). This is a very tall order to love his wife as Jesus loves us. But that is his calling. It is love in the family, lead and exemplified by the husband that sets the tone of the marriage. He is responsible for the well being of the family. It is to Him that God will come and require an account. This is serious business and the man needs to take it seriously.
Of course, the husband and wife are both responsible for overlapping and helping each other as they love one another (1 Cor. 13), but the primary duty of a husband is to love and provide. The primary duty of a wife is to nurture and respect.
The reason not to marry an unbeliever is that he/she can influence you away from the Lord.

Hopefully you are not a Christian! An extra-marital relationship has become a sin, in the eyes of the Christian Church, no matter what religion the partner is.
Christianity teaches tolerance and forgiveness. There is nothing in the New Testament which says otherwise.

> If you are a christian, is it wrong to have a relationship with a "non" christian?
Yes.
> I mean in the eyes of God isnt it living in sin?
It is sinning. The phrase 'living in sin' is a non-Christian euphemism. There are many sins besides sexual ones, and they are all harmful.

To have relations with anyone, while not married is a sin.
But as far as being in a relationship with someone of a different faith, it is not a sin, but the saved person is instructed to lead the 'lost'. If the saved does nothing to get their mate saved or does not care to instruct the unsaved of the laws of God, then... yeah it is a sin.

What kind of a relationship? boyfriend/girlfriend? If you are a Christian you follow Christ and this should be the most important relationship you have so I can't imagine how you would have an intimate relationship with a potential marriage partner who doesn't also share this important aspect of your life.
On a more practical side ... no matter what your religion the divorce rate is higher for those who live together prior to marriage.

Not at all, as long as the Christian does not do anything 'sinful' with the person they are havinga relationship with.
After all, God loves all of us the same.
Also, I believe co-habitation is not a great idea, temptation is much greater.

Living in sin means living together without marriage. I know plenty of Christians who've married outside their faith and are quite happy......they're compatible with their partners and have loving, committed relationships. They continue to practice their faith and respect their partner's religious choices as well.
Ultimately, to follow Christ means to respect others.....all others, not only other Christians.

What do you mean "relationship"? "Living in sin" would mean living with someone and having sexual intercourse - whether they were a non-Christian or not.
It is wrong for a practicing Christian to be "unequally yoked" in any relationship. If you consider yourself to be "yoked" together with a non-Christian - then you are going against Scripture. Whether it is a sin or not is between you and God.

yes.I have scripture to back my answer.
2 Corinthians 6:14,Be ye not un-equally yolked together with unbelievers:for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?and what communion hath light with darkness?
that is a verse against a Christian marrying or dating a non Christian.I don't know exactly what kind of relationship you mean but that's on of them.
