Is it okay to marry an atheist?

Question

2 Corinthians 6
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

As long as you never touch, make friends with, or marry an atheist, you will go to Heaven (plus meeting the other guidelines of course). Atheists are pure EVIL and all they do is hate everyone including themselves. They actually believe (this is hillarious!) that the Earth is round and that the Earth is billions of years old, when CLEARLY we know from the Bible that it is roughly 6,000 years old. HELLLLOO!! Wake up DEMONS! We aren't going to follow for your idiotic nonsense that you call science. Sience is for idiots who think that reason is obtained from testing and hypothesizing, when all the knowledge in the world we need is from the Bible.

NEVER EVER SPEAK KINDLY TO AN ATHEIST! Do yourself a favor and speak with the Anger, Hate, and Wrath of God to show that you are Good and they are Evil, since they are bigots who want to eat your children and take President Bush out of office!

Answer 1

lol, i know you are joking.

Answer 2

Actually Jesus told us to love our enemies -- to bless those who curse us, to feed those who hate us, and to pray for those who would spite us.

And Paul (the guy you just quoted), also said that no "unwholesome" word should come out of our mouths.

For some reason, you missed those.

But you are correct in that both the Old and New Testaments forbid a believer from knowingly marrying a non-believer (but Paul also forbids divorcing someone for reason of having differing religions, if someone changes religion later). Religious compatibility is very important from a Biblical perspective.

I don't think that you have a point; sounds like you are just ranting and throwing a temper tantrum on-line. But at least you are reading the Bible. Good for you.

Answer 3

?? Your are misinterpreting the bible (like most do) =)
God wants us to be equally alike upon entering marriage... He has never said you cannot talk to someone who doesn't believe. he wants Christians to preach the gospel to the world. He wants us to treat thy neighbor (everyone) like you want to be treated. Most people get the OT a NT mixed up, the OT is still true, but some things you don't have to do anymore because Jesus died for us, and it explains that in the NT. God says "turn the other cheek". It sounds like you my friend have run into the wrong "Christians" because my God (May demand just a little bit from you), but he is a loving God.

God Bless

Answer 4

What about MAN + WOMAN WHO'S HAD A HYSTERECTOMY FOR MEDICAL REASONS? There's no baby there, either. What about a woman and a man who's had his testicles removed due to cancer? Should that man be barred from marriage? There's no baby there. To address your other "argument," can a horse consent to a legal contract? Can a bicycle consent to a legal contract? Your analogy fails. Two adults can consent to a contract of domestic partnership, no matter what the sex of the two parties happens to be.

Answer 5

science is for idiots? have you ever gone to the doctors? taken medication? MADE BY MAN MADE BY SCIENCE! the bible. the pages that i was written on erm made by man the ink that was use to write with made by man and to top it all off the writing in that book was thought up by man. where is your logic in all of you disturbing comments? its people like you that give religion bad names you should be ashamed of your behavior. if you see that a bible tells you to:NEVER EVER SPEAK KINDLY TO AN ATHEIST! Do yourself a favor and speak with the Anger, Hate, and Wrath of God to show that you are Good and they are Evil, since they are bigots who want to eat your children and take President Bush out of office! then you are a nasty waste of life. hope your so called god is looking down at you and is a shamed by you. most people with good morals would be! to follow a book and not ask questions is well boring and idiotic . to learn you have to seek.

Answer 6

I have witnessed the strugle of believer and non-beliver. More times than not, the beliver is dragged down by the non-believer. Are you willing to risk your faith for someone who doesn't believe like you? I would say NO!

Answer 7

Very viscerally vivacious, and verily vanity's veneer vanquished thy vainglorious vicissitudes victoriously. Vindicated, various vacuous voluptuous vivants vicariously vacillate verdantly and voluminously.

Answer 8

I think you are crazy do not marry is not the same as do not talk to of course we must love every one and do good for them how do you tell them the Gospel if you can not talk to them.

Answer 9

I'm an atheist, and I'd love to get married, but not to a theist. No, no, no, no, no. He'd taint my peaceful, rational life with delusion, judgementalism and hypocrisy, not to mention how tiresome it would be explaining over and over again why we couldn't be buried side-by-side so as to be "together forever".

Answer 10

Maybe you should consult the Eleven Satanic Rules.

Answer 11

Never marry and the marriage will never be successful and life shall be as we see in R&S.
