Does it say anywhere in the Bible that says a Christian and an Atheist cannot/should not marry?

Question

Or something along those lines?
What verses, if any?

Answer 1

Nope.
But ; 1Co 7:13 And the woman which hath a husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
1Co 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
1Co 7:15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
1Co 7:16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
AMEN.

Answer 2

As others have responded 2Co 6:14 .
A christian must only marry another christian, not necessarily of his/her own church, but definitely to one that shares the same beliefs.
Which christian would want to marry an atheist who will :
* not consider God real ?
* do not share his/her love to God over all things, even over his/her spouse?
* is against to almost everything you know is right ?
* object giving money to the church ?
* object you spend time with the congregation ?
* that have sinful attitudes that he/she thinks correct because he/she does not believe in the Bible?

Can a couple like that can live happy togheter? What would happen?
a. The christian gradually lose his/her faith to accomodate better to the atheist and end the conflicts. Save the marriage risk the eternal life?
b. The conflicts will escalate to a level where separation is seen as the solution
c. they raise barriers between them to do not touch those areas in conflict and settle for less than was hoped when they married.

Answer 3

Many have already said where in the bible it's found.I can give you a reason by living this life.Your mate does not share or respect your beliefs.He will not attend church with you.And if he dies without being saved you are eternally separated.Your life will be filled with cursing words from his side of the family as well as him.he will not be interested in things of God.So it will be discouraging to even share about answered prayers.You have to deal with movies,music,and choices of activities he feels is okay but as a christian you know you cannot go along with.Love is blind but should be smart when choosing a partner.

Answer 4

once you study the bible, you often could study it via prayer and information of history. some books of the bible are written as letters to a definite u . s . or church at that component, and a few are written as songs and a few are romantic memories and a few are human beings own stories. permit me inform you approximately; a million Corinthians 14:34 while that verse exchange into written, Apostle Paul exchange into writing to a definite church, females in that component weren't knowledgeable and it exchange into purely the commencing up of females entering an quite church, earlier that component, purely adult adult males have been accepted, hence females can usually be disruptive, that's a scripture of self-discipline, and this is not a regulation. Deuteronomy 22:22 while that scripture exchange into written back then God will smite them actually and individuals will die actually by making use of the palms of God because of the fact God hated evil, Jesus by no skill got here then to take the keys from hell and compensate for our sins. you will not see in a western society somebody being killed for having an affair, till needless to say they're murdered by making use of the quite man or woman. yet subsequently we are speaking approximately God. because of the fact of His (Jesus') Grace, while He died for us He gave us all 2d possibilities that we would persist with Him and stay back, yet while we are got here across separated and accountable on the throne of judgement in front of God Himself, if we've not repented then we are able to quite die, which in this context skill eternal dying in hell. So the scripture nonetheless stands, purely not in a straight away literal experience. permit me remind you, the be conscious repent would not recommend a single be attentive to "sorry" repentance is shown during the data of residing a replaced existence and not doing it back and back back.

Answer 5

It doesn't say anything about it. And even if it did, if you were in love with someone, a simple line out of an old book could make you say "Oh, you're an atheist! Sorry, I can't marry you! But let's still be friends, okay?" If so, then you are an idiot.

Answer 6

Corinthians.. hold on let me find it... I don't know if it speaks against it or advises against it, because it was Paul's letter.

2 Corinthians 6:14. Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15. What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[b]? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16. What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people."
17. "Therefore come out from them
and be separate, says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing,
and I will receive you."
18. "I will be a Father to you,
and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."

Answer 7

I can't imagine an Atheist actually marrying a Christian, the idea is actually quite nauseating.

Answer 8

Nothing that specific but Paul writes, "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers." 2 Corinthians 6:14

god bless

Answer 9

2Co 6:14
Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?

Answer 10

Yes. Definitely. It says that in many places, depending on the interpretation by the reader
