Why are some religions so dead set about marrying out of that religion?

Hey Revdauphinee I might be wrong, but I understood it as two different religions intertwining. They both are believers but are from different religious backgrounds. I am Christian, but my husband is not. We were unbelievers when we were married, but I became a Christian after my marriage. However he has not committed to this faith as yet. You are absolutely right about the scripture " do not yoke together ("righteousness and wickedness(a believer marrying a non believer.)) But what if they both believe in the same diety, but their religious practises were different? Explain "a person of a another faith", they do not worshipping idols, but use the scriptures as a daily source of knowing God. Remember God does not view religion as a plus, He searches us from the inside. Our Heart. We as human beings cannot tell what a person is like just by looking or even by their actions. People react differently to whatever situation, and sometimes we are surprised to see the most vicious criminal becoming humble at his/her breaking stage in life. These traits were already there, God knew this before they became criminals. He knew when it was the right time. If our hearts are in the right place with God, lining up with His Holyness, religion has no value. Our soul is more important to God. Only God can know how we really are, by looking into our hearts. What are your views. Filmore

for instance Muslims or Hindus or such not of the christian faith who worship different Gods such as Allah who has no sons when we worship Jesus the very son of our God!

So if you found your soulmate and they were a different religion - even a different for of Christianity - you would not marry them?

A lot of people marry into a certain faith and then don't raise their kids that way or do raise their kids in that faith and then the kids don't like that faith. For example, my husbands family - all the kids were raised Catholic. He has 1 brother and 2 sisters. None of them are practicing Catholics. Out of the four 2 believe in a "god", one is an atheist and the last one isn't sure. My brother and I were raised Catholic and we don't prescribe to the faith either. Same goes for my 3 cousins. In both of our families our parents - and other family members - are still very active in the religious community. Where was I going with this again? I forgot LOL... Oh yeah, just because you marry your own faith and you have kids and raise them in that faith, that doesn't mean the kids will follow the parents footsteps.
