Pentecostal/Catholic Marriages: Why the Disagreement?

convert to catholicism and dump the pentecostal church  as long as you worship the same God and you love each other.

Y mi?  Its a real pity girl.

Am not going to act like its no big deal because this s***t is tight
First of all, why aint ya hangin with 'em pentecostal brothers.
Why are you going all the way to catholic girl, it aint right.
Stick with the religon u've known except that love of yours is willing to move over to the Holyspirit filled church.

Who said religion in marriage aint that important?? huhhhh who? Will your catholic sweetheart stand it when you speak in tongues or start goin wild with the anointing of the holyspirit??
okay so tell me. Do Catholics worship Jesus or Mary?

As for me, Penterascal till i die bro................rimashabaraabatusu rumnplefeelleelleel [alittle tongue talking there]

It's as big a deal as you want it to be. Tolerance goes a long way


Why?


Again it's as important as you want it to be. You'd better look at the roots, messages and morality of your religion than at the exact way they want to express themselves. It's what's in your hear that's important


Speaking in tongues is a specif neuroligical condition that is usually caused by intense concentration and can be induced by fasting (which changes the chemical balance in your brain)


here's a little joke to lighten up this chanrged subject:

A man is walking across a bridge, when he sees another guy about to jump off.
"Hey, man" he says, "you don't have to do that."
"Why not?" the other guy says, "I've got nothing to live for. I lost my job, I'm bankrupt, my wife left me and took the kids, my car threw a rod, and my dog just died. My life totally sucks."
"But God still loves you," the man says, "you believe in God, don't you?"
"Well, I guess so," the guy says.
"Tell me, are you a Christian?"
"Yes" the guy answers.
"Well, so am I!" the man says. "Catholic or Protestant?"
"I'm Protestant"
"Well, so am I!" "Methodist, or Baptist, or Presbyterian?"
"I'm Baptist."
Well, so am I!" "Northern or Southern Baptist?"
"Northern Baptist."
"Well so am I!" "Northern fundamentalist, liberal, or reformed?"
"Northern fundamentalist."
"Well, so am I!" "Northern fundamentalist eastern region, or Great Lakes region?"
"Northern fundamentalist, eastern region."
"Well, so am I!" "Northern fundamentalist, eastern region conference of 1898, or conference of 1912?"
"Northern fundamentalist, eastern region, conference of 1912."
"Die, heretic!" the man says, and pushes him off the bridge.

Seems like i bit some bad bone in ya. 

Y mi should stick with what she knows. And religion does matter. So it didnt matter to you doesnt mean it wont matter in her marriage. Christainity is a way of life, it aint just what you believe in. Its you, everything about you.

We are supposed to transfer what ethics and religious belief we have to our kids or don't you think?
Tolerance..huh  how long will you tolerant his Holy Mary incarntations and how long will he tolerant your "fire of the holyghost" Tolerance  huh. Are you prepared to have your kids having names like St angelo and St whatever? or you wanmt to give them the true hebrew name like Joshua etc. Do you want to have Mother Mary angel status in your house and pray to it in repitition of some bla bla bla???   You better think Girl. You may to hang that chain on your neck or wear 'em crucifix rings like thats what makes them righteous.
Can you guys have a discussion about both religions and not end up arguing or quarreling???
Catholics say pentecostal are fanatic but now who really is the fanatic
As little and insignificant as it may seem, it does matter.

For you Nferyn.............. that joke of yours, see y its import. That guy should have waited for a 1898 


once again, Pentecostal till i die .[rimagrattata rasturukokumayayayrima

Really? I do not define myself by my being not religious. There's more to myself than my belief system. If you define yourself only by the group you belong to, I feel sorry for you. That's tribal to the extreme

And to speak from personal experience: it does not matter for your marriage as long as you both have got your priorities straight.


I find this forcing any kind of religion on young children a form of child abuse, their minds are not ready to deal with these issues. Of course you can introduce them to your faith and teach them about it, but it's ultimately to them to make up their minds and choose - at an age they are capable of doing so

And for the rest.. why not, as long as you're not forced into it?


You can have a civilised discussion as long as you're not trying to proselitise and force your views on your partner. A willingness to listen to the other and hear them out is all it takes

And then you can agree to disagree


You really didn't get the joke, did you?

 sis, a pity such a thing has come up at this time in your life. You shld know that you are getting married to someone only because both of are in love and not because both of attend the same church. Love should be the main thing in your marriage. It is love that secures your marriage and not the church afterall there are cases where people marry because they attend same church only to realise that they are incompatible. God will guide you.

 

whats the difference anyway..we all serve God..we believe in God the father son and holy spirit..We have the same beliefs about the same father and we know heaven is our home so whats the difference..girl..carry go!..

i don't agree with this especially if the child(ren) is/are little. you can't bring  them up with two contrasting faiths/religions at the same time. it's only going to confuse them or make them think a little bit differently from how you what them to.
(an extreme example) a friend of mine has a christian mom and a muslim dad. he goes to church on sudays and has arabic/islamic classes on saturdays. now he just doesn't care about either.
true the children will be exposed to different ideas but these ideas won't fit together and will only confuse or distort a child's views on religion.

yes. at least while they are still young, it's better to close off all conflicting info. when they're old enough (i don't think age 7 or anything around that qualifies a child as being "intelelctually capable".) it's better to create a space for creativity and let their imaginations to run wild while they are still innocent and little. when they get older, philosophical talks and whatnots can come in. i just think that's healthy.

@ GP, you're sayin now that if you find a lady you love and she happens to be catholic, you won't get married to her just because both of y'all churches don't agree on the same things?

Do you believe in God? If yyes, why don't you take it to HIM in prayer for guidance and leading?

God'll see you through

It is an irony, this thing between Catcholics vs Rest of Christians. I have seen many relationships die midway because of this. I don't know the details, however, I fail to appreciate the intollerance especially of the Catholics at marrying outside their sect.

Anyway, what I will say is that those involved need to be guided by God. God commanded us to worship him, not as Pentecostals or Catholics. Infact, God do not sponsor any sect. What God sponsors is relationship with him through Christ. As long as this relationship is maintained, it doesnt matter if you are Catholic, Presbyterean, Pentecostal, Aladura or whatever. Its about the principle of relationship with God that overrides everything, not sect. So if I'm catholic and my Catcholic church will stop me from marrying a non catcholic, then I will quit that catholic and go to another church and marry, as long as the church worships by the biblical principles.

@Scopion, you can't marry just anyone okay.  If you believe in Jesus, you sure can't marry an erkist because they don't.
And enough with this talk of we are serve one God but different medium. wetin be that? So go and marry a shrine princess na, afterall, its still one God.  Dont you know its the medium that sets the worship/God and the authority.

Take am easy o.................. don't let me start church in here now 

No, but I'm married to a strong christian. And I can speak from personal experience that a loving marriage between even a christian and an atheist is possible
I guess you just explain your kind of marriage.  And again, the fact that your maaried to a "strong christain" does nt make u one or even gives you an insight to what a christain race or challenge is all about.  You can only speak from someone else's experience and not yours and thats a big difference.

And about understanding where I come from... do you? Can you explain?
