Question

i am in love with somebody of a different religion, a different country and a different culture. Who choose this was it me or God. God speaks to us throught our hearts and our spirit knows with the Holy Spirit's guildence. What would Jesus Think of this

Answer 1

I believe that God can help you make the right chose about love but I do not believe that he controls who you fall in love with. If he did, why are there so many unhappy marriages?

I do not believe there is anything religiously wrong with loving someone of a different religion, country, and culture but there are a lot of social implications. First off marriage is one of the toughest changes in a person's life. Now if you throw in different religion, country, culture, race, upbring, social status.... each one makes it more difficult. I'm not saying it will not work but it's just more to deal with. Also think about the affect on your kids? Which will religion will they attend? Or will they just fall through the cracks and not go to either religion?

Just pray for answers. And if you are sincere in following you will get answers.

Answer 2

I believe God puts you in the right time with the right person--it is up to you to exercise free will. Sometimes you may find the right person, but be in drastically different places in your life (too young, too damaged, etc.) and the relationship won't work. But if you are both ready for love, think long and hard before ignoring it. Maybe this person whom you love so deeply was sent to you in this time of your life for reasons you cannot comprehend now. You can usually reason away why people should not be together--there's plenty of doubt to go around and these things must be considered, esp. with the religion of your children. Bottom line: We cannot read the future in any of our lives. But it seems to me that when God sends you someone to love, he is giving you a gift. It is up to you to open it or not.

Answer 3

The Bible does not get as specific as we might like it to on the matter of finding the right marriage partner. God's Word tells us to make sure that we are not unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14-15), and this is especially true in marriage. 1 Corinthians 7:39 reminds us that when we are free to marry, we should only marry those who are acceptable to God; in other words, Christians. Beyond this, the Bible is silent about how to know we are marrying the "right" person.

Answer 4

I am like you, but I married that person from a different religion, different country and different culture. We met under strange circumstances, so I have to believe God had something to do with it. My husband believes that also. Things have changed dramatically since we married... we now share his religion, and live in his culture and country. We are very happy and feel that we are blessed to have found each other.

Answer 5

Thats a difficult question. I am engaged to a man from a different country, culture and religion and both of us believe to some extent that God brought us together. We have both thought that we would never find true love, but then we met and I truly believe we are each other's soulmate.

Answer 6

I personally am not a believer in God.
(Very sorry if this offends you.)
I believe that who we are meant to be with is not necessarily one person. It's just one of many people that we are compatible with. If you love someone, and you know it, it shouldn't matter who 'made' you meet and fall in love with the person. And since we are all 'children of god' it shouldn't matter anyway. We all originated from 2 people. The cultures just divided and that's all the different races of today.

I am very sorry if you disagree with anything I said.
No offense meant.

Answer 7

you can choose whom you want to be with, whom you want to mingle with, you can even choose your friend but loves just happened, its destiny...before you even had the time to decide your already in love and the very fact that you decide to love or not to love shows that you already had deep feeling for the person. As i am not jesus i dont really know what he will think but if you go through the book of apostle Paul, you will definitely get your answer.

Answer 8

He knows those who would be good for you, unfortunatly though we have to find and choose who is right. A good suggestion would be to not go out with sombody who bar hops and disrespects their own family. those most likly are warning signs that he/she is not ready for the responsibility for a relationship or to planly don't go out with them. also you cannot change or (manipulate) anybody. that is up to them. just a lottttle advice to use. if they are from another religion, we should not yolk with them because that could cause constent butting heads and confused children. cultural difference, however is a bit easier to coap with,.

Answer 9

If you want to go astray, God may let you, if you try to find Him, He may let you. He is the ONE that 'lets" things happen depending on what you try to do. Sometimes, He may stop you from doing wrong and you will not even know it ...... why?? .... because He cares about you. If you are far astray, sometimes He will let you fall into error to see if you realize that it and return to His path.

HE is the ONE that "lets" things happen, we have no control over that. We can only try to do one thing or another, and He may "let" us or not. Is that thing right or wrong? that you need to ask yourself and figure out. Most of what is right or wrong is written in the Quran for those who understand.

Answer 10

Not a chance
If god chooses what you will do or who you fall in love with in this life that would mean that there is no free will. If there is no free will then we are all on this planet doing exactly what god wants us to be doing. That would mean that we are merely puppets and life nothing but a farce
