Do you know of any verses in the King James Bible that say it is wrong for a Christian to mary a person from another religion ?
I want to remary my long lost love we were very young when we first married and made many mistakes. He is Muslim and I'm Christian.
I recently read in the book of Mathew that it is very wrong and adulterous for a man to mary a divorced woman and that divorce should only happen if there was adultry .
And many other verses that made me feel it was the right thing to work things out.
However I am confused if it is ok in the eyes of God for a Christain woman to mary someone who is not Christian.

I just read all of Chapter 7 in corinthians it sais that a divorced woman should no remarry unless to go back with her husband and that it is ok for her to have a husband who is an unbeliever.
It is speaking about husbands and wives where the other verse given here is speaking about associations.

Read the Bible. "Through the believing wife the unbelieving husband is made righteous so also through the believing husband the unbelieving wife is blameless so also the wandering children." 1 Cor. 7:14 hope this helps But it doesnt say you cant marry someone of a different religion but dont fall for their false doctrine "Love covers a multitude of sins and abounds more than knowledge. And dont listen to the quoters of 2 Cor. 6:14 there taking verses out of context golly people read some theologions to interpret the word for you like Calvin Vos and Vantil

If you are a Christian and He is a Muslim then God's Word says you are not to marry him. 1 Corinthians 7:39; The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth, but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; ONLY IN THE LORD. This means you are to marry one who is a believer. If you marry a Muslim you are marrying a child of the devil and you will have trouble probably more than you had the first time because you are in disobedience to God. God's Word is for our protection. 2 Corinthians 6:14-15 asks about what does unrighteousness and righteousness have in common and what does light and darkness have in common. It speaks about Christ and Belial, another term for the devil.
Even if you marry a Christian man you better seek God. Just because he is a Christian does not mean he is the man God would have you to marry. Please obey God and don't let the enemy or your flesh convince you otherwise or you will regret it. If you are talking about verse 11 Paul is speaking to 2 Christians reconciling The husband and the wife were saved. Verse 12-16 is about a believer who became a Christian while being married. One of the marriage partners got saved and the other did not but, they were already married when this took place. The entire chapter 7 is about marriage, not associates. You are trying to make the scriptures fit what you want to do and that is dangerous. It is obvious that you are going to do what you want regardless of what God or anyone else says. If you are divorced from this man he is no longer your husband.

2 Corinthians 6:14 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
A marriage of two different faiths is bound to have some troubles and disagreements on religious grounds and beliefs if one stays true to their religion. However, as long as there is peace in the marriage, it is allright. The believing spouse may be able to influence the non-believer to faith. The critical thing is that God has called us to have peace as written in verse 15 of 1st Cor. 7
1 Corinthians 7
12But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14For 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.
15But 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.
16For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
If you can hold to your true beliefs in God and Jesus...that is quite critical...and be at peace with your spouse, then there is no reason for divorce. Indeed, you may be the reason that your spouse comes to Christ.

All I can say is that it's worked for me. My husband is the most amazing man I've ever met. We have an incredible relationship. I am a Christian Witch and he is an Atheist. I often buy books and documentaries for him relating to evolution or some of his other Atheistic beliefs and he even catches rainwater for my spell work. We respect and admire each other for our strongly held beliefs. Of course I hope to impact him in the way I live, as I'm sure he does as well. We would NEVER try to "convert" the other, though. It can work only if your relationship is BASED on mutual respect and admiration.
Brightest Blessings

my child
do not marry a muslim.
for he is the HEAD of the wife.
for as HE is..so will you become.
it was paul and peter(??) that said..it wise to be single, if if you have need of marriage.so be it.(grace).
but marrying one that is of the same faith is more PEACE at HOME..i am penecostal married to catholic..very big diffrernece and unequally yoke and suffering.either way.
i believe all things are possible..she don't.
i believe in holy tongues and it work..i got healing..nad she never yet got a thing.
child..do not marry a muslim.
for their relition is harsh.to woman.
and the LAW will not save you
grace SAVES YOU and US.
no man is perfect under the law
but through Christ blood..the grace of GOD
is given to yOU..to recieve salvation
muslim under the law..will never recieve grace from GOD..till they accept the sacrifice of JESUS..as they payment for their sins.
NO man can come to the fatheer but trhough JESUS.
so bieng a christian..you are a part of JESUS.
being married to muslim..you will eventually surrender JESUS..over time..and may or WILL be force to give up JESUS..and salvation possiblity? at lost.
JESUS is the DOOR
and the WAY
and the LIFE.
the LAW of MOSES of jews and muslim or others.
basically say..YOUR WORK ..your way to salvation.
JESUS came to give you SALVATION..and gave it freely to WHOMEVER want of it.
muslim deny JESUS. as SON or as savior.
DO NOT marry this person.
a road to hell..as time goes on.
your kids..of his seed..he legally can take them away form you..in his foreign land..you have no rights..to get them back..cause oftheir law of religon and of the land.

You should marry to the Muslim man . He will make your life an enjoyment for you. He will be pious and teach you the Religion of God as well.

Here's 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?" That should clearly answer your question.

2Corinthians
6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

I'm Atheist and I know that one is in there. The woman is supposed to change her faith to that of her husband according to scripture.
