Dating a Non-Christians

I do not see it as a problem at all because if the couple love each other, then they will reach a compromise of some sort that they can both live with. There are many different Christian religions just as there are several branches of other non-Christian religions. It just take work, compromise and a willingness to each other.

If you're a Christian its not a good idea to date someone with other beliefs. If you do plan to get married someday, it will become a huge problem in your marriage, especially when children come into the picture. I know how you may think it would be ok, their good people and treat you right, but when it comes down to it.... Life is about your relationship with Jesus and if you can't share that with the one you love, what do you have? I've known a lot of people that start out one person is Atheist & the other is Jewish, once the children were school age they divorced. The Jewish person wanted her children to learn their Jewish heritage and had hoped that her husband would follow along. I also know of a Catholic Woman and Baptist Man that got married in the Catholic Church. The man had to become Catholic first to do that. Are you willing to give up what you believe just to be with a person? Your relationship with Christ needs to be first in you and your spouses life to have a better chance of making things work. Marriage's struggles are hard enough without the difference of faith. Your faith should be the strength of both of you.

yes ofcourse. it's okey to date non-christians if you are a christian. for as long as there's respect, religion does not matter. not all christians are "holy" and not all non-christians are disgusting. remember, never judge a person without actually knowing the person first.

Jesus warns us, "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon" (Matthew 6:24). Yet, in a religiously mixed marriage, one partner is serving one master and the other partner is serving a different master. Such a spiritual separation will certainly result in problems. Amos 3:3 asks, "Can two walk together, except they be agreed? No, they cannot for there is a serious spiritual separation between them. CHRISTIAN COUNSELLORS counsel young people in this manner: (1) Do not date a person who differs with your commitment to Christ. If you fall in love with such a one, it can lead to heartbreak either before and after marriage. (2) If you are already in love with a non-Christian, lead that person to Christ or do not marry him. To do otherwise is to invite trouble, and it will surely come to burden your life. (3) If you are already married to a person who is not a Christian, set the goal of your life to lead your loved one to personal faith in Jesus Christ. Ezra required the men of his nation to put away (divorce) their wives who held to the pagan religion around them (Ezra 9, 10). The great religious leader knew a pagan mother would have great influence on the spiritual lives of the family. So he protected the family by removing the person with the perverted religion. There will be a continual spiritual division in the family where either partner in the marriage is not a Christian. That is even reflected in the divorce statistics. It is true that "the family that prays together stays together." Shortly,I feel it is not okay.

It is okay to date outside your faith. People are people no matter what religion they are.

The Bible says not to be unevenly yoked. If you decide to marry that person your marriage can face alot of problems if they aren't believers also.

before discusing this subject i wish u a happy " ead and diwali "....

yes, why not. If it is ment to be it will. You don't marry everyone you date.

what's wrong in dating someone outside your religion in fact people often tend to change the relation if things get right and u marry later

i am non-denominational so I believe so, but it seems that many don't

If religion doesn't bother you its perfectly allright.

I was born and raised Cathloic, but I don't believe in any greater being once so ever so yes, it's ok to date a person that's not of my religon.

You can! My aunt is a christian and my uncle is a budhist and they do great!

if you make a true effort to try and understand their religion then it shouldnt be a problem.they should do the same for you.as long as you both respect each others faith it shouldnt be a problem.i dated a muslim and im a baptist.although id never be a muslim i studied his faith to understand his points of view and he did the same for me.

Dating is fine out of your religion. It is fine anytime for that matter. The couple must realize the hardships they will go through especially if they feel very strongly about their religion.
