Cayon: Ladies, if you check the dictionary meaning of "YOKE", you cannot compare the bond that exists in a mere friendship to a YOKE. Being yoked with someone or something is definitely a much stronger type of bonding. |

Am sure the American converts to Islam, will calm my nerves.
Its too cold to do that above mason dixie line.
Um. In Atlanta, 30 years ago, there was a 101 Masajid. Today, you hardly find a Masjid in Atlanta. Maybe one on matin Luther king Boulevard. When we see an aunt converting, I guess it looks like Islam is waining. But thank Allah, that we have many whites, Blacks, Spanish and others converting!
Your big mouth, is too small for what you are saying. But I will allow you, since you live in Atlanta. The city where there is no Muslim. |

Olabowale I have to apologise for being mean, I have sinned against you and against God. But for goodness sake, don't reply to me until you are ready to quit lying. |

The passage said Never be unequally yoked with an unbeliever, not "Thou must not marry an unbeliever" . Many of you here misconstrue biblical passages. Here is another one 1 Corinthians 7:12-16 12To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. 14For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. 15But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace. 16How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife? |

Here's another passage 1 Peter 3 :1-2 1Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. |

H2O2: are u minding some pple,the way they misquote and turn the bible upside down,one would think it,the bible was written by them |
Re: Marriage Between Xtian & Muslim? by JeSoul(f): 6:02pm On Jan 03, 2009 |
~Lady~:No probs. You're not the only one who found my response to be terse. Joe was concise in his question and so was I. I saw no need to dive into 'waters' he had not brought up. No sensible christian will say that we are not to associate with the world. The simple point here is that a christian should not marry a non-christian. Its different if one converts during the marriage, the biblical directives are different for that situation. Happy New Yr by the way . and just one tip, the trick to dealing with Alhaji is to just take everything he says with a light-hearted approach. |
Re: Marriage Between Xtian & Muslim? by busybein: 6:07pm On Jan 03, 2009 |
JeSoul: my dear read dis H2O2: |
Re: Marriage Between Xtian & Muslim? by JeSoul(f): 6:16pm On Jan 03, 2009 |
busy, perhaps you should read it first . . . that situation is for if one spouse converts to christianity DURING the marriage. |
Re: Marriage Between Xtian & Muslim? by JJYOU: 6:21pm On Jan 03, 2009 |
it is dificult enough for catolics to marry an evangelical or jehovah's witnesses. what do you think a christian has to gain from marrying an unbelieving moslem. every marraige comes with its inbuilt problems making it worse by marrying someone who don't believe in Christ is working against yourself. no one should deliberately walk into a union like that 12To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. 14For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.notice it says if the believer has a wife ( already married) not to look for a wife/ husband a very happy new year to you all |
Re: Marriage Between Xtian & Muslim? by busybein: 6:28pm On Jan 03, 2009 |
give me a scripture where it is written Thou shall not marry an unbeliever it is very clear in corinthians,if a man marries an unbeliever as long as they agree to live togeda,no problem,i.e the girl or guy is an unbeliever even before he or she got married |
Re: Marriage Between Xtian & Muslim? by JJYOU: 7:21pm On Jan 03, 2009 |
busybein:you must know i don't do arguments with religious folks. we are all permitted to live the way we like and pay whatever our actions brings us. i personally wont do an unbeliever. it is a no no for me. in my books if a lady is not smart enough to recognise the Lordship of Jesus she is too clever for me. i bebelieve am personally responsible for my choices and choose not to date an unbeliever. i believe one of the many reasons we have people broken and hurt almost beyond redemption from past relationships is going into wrong relationships that is almost gauranteed to fail from the world go. |

Re: Marriage Between Xtian & Muslim? by KarmaMod(f): 8:52pm On Jan 03, 2009 |
Im confused that situation is for if one spouse converts to christianity DURING the marriage. How is this possible if you're not allowed to marry a non Christian in the first place? |
Re: Marriage Between Xtian & Muslim? by H2O2: 8:55pm On Jan 03, 2009 |
I've told you some people just translate scripture to fit their own ideas |

Re: Marriage Between Xtian & Muslim? by TV01(m): 10:04pm On Jan 03, 2009 |
KarmaMod: Hi KarmaMod, It speaks to a situation where neither party was a Christian prior to the marriage. If during the course of the marriage, one converts, divorce is not consequent,or at least not to be pursued by the converting party. You - for a while at least - have a situation where there is one Christian believer and one unbeliever in the marriage. Hope that clarifies. JJYOU: Hi JJYOU, 1. Rather than discourage seekers, please exercise some forbearance. 2. Caps lock indicates shouting/yelling - would you give us all e-headaches ? God bless TV |
Re: Marriage Between Xtian & Muslim? by H2O2: 10:10pm On Jan 03, 2009 |
TV01:How did you arrive at this conclusion? It didn't say that anywhere in the passage. |
Re: Marriage Between Xtian & Muslim? by TV01(m): 10:38pm On Jan 03, 2009 |
H2O2: Hi H202, I agree that it is not "explicitly written", but please refer to verses 12 & 13. 12 But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her. 13 And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him. If your intendeds religion was an issue why would you marry them in the first place? The church was still nascent at that time and many converts were new. Listen to Paul in chapter 9 of the same epistle - 5 Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? Conversion after marriage is not grounds for the new believer to depart, but the still unbeliever may well seek to leave on that basis. One who believes and is unwed is not to enter into a marriage union with an unbeliever. Having said all that, please note that that is more of a doctrinal statement. I don't believe that the fullness of the Christian life is lived by written rules. Marriage was instituted before religion - and whilst God obviously does not want religious differences to precipitate divorce, it is clear that deeply held but differing beliefs can be all but impossible to reconcile after the fact, so it's best not too in the first instance. God bless TV |
Re: Marriage Between Xtian & Muslim? by busybein: 2:04am On Jan 04, 2009 |
KarmaMod: like seriously |
Re: Marriage Between Xtian & Muslim? by Lady2(f): 3:50am On Jan 04, 2009 |
The simple point here is that a christian should not marry a non-christian. Its different if one converts during the marriage, the biblical directives are different for that situation How can one convert if we are not allowed to marry a non-christian in the first place? There would be no need for that passage then. There isn't a passage that states that we cannot marry a non-christian, however because we know the hardships in marriage it is always easier for us to marry within our beliefs. Personally I am not looking forward to marrying a non-catholic, I don't want any confusion in my home, but if the person God truly wants me to be with is non-catholic then so be it. Marrying a christian does not guarantee the marriage would work and marrying a non-christian does not guarantee the marriage would not work. |
