For it is written "Be ye not unequally yoked together with the unbelievers for what communion do light have with darkness. " Food for thought. |

loistee:Who's the light and who's the darkness? You call a loving, intelligent, charismatic, well-to-do guy/lady darkness just because he/she doesn't attend a church? LOL. Y'all are jokers! 1 Like |

It is written (2 Cor.6:14): "What concord hath light with darkness? [*Vulg.: 'What fellowship hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial?']" Now there is the greatest concord between husband and wife. Therefore one who is in the light of faith should not marry one who is in the darkness of unbelief. Further, it is written (Malachi 2:11): "Juda hath profaned the holiness of the Lord, which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god." But such had not been the case if they could have married validly. Therefore disparity of worship is an impediment to marriage. I answer that, The chief good of marriage is the offspring to be brought up to the worship of God. Now since education is the work of father and mother in common, each of them intends to bring up the child to the worship of God according to their own faith. Consequently if they be of different faith, the intention of the one will be contrary to the intention of the other, and therefore there cannot be a fitting marriage between them. For this reason disparity of faith previous to marriage is an impediment to the marriage contract. Someone may ask, what of a believer who was already married to an unbeliever before becoming a Christian? There is provision for a believer who is already married to an unbeliever. The Bible specifically addresses those who are married to unbelievers in 1 Corinthians 7:12-14 : “…If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband…” Christians married to unbelievers will need to pray for the power of the Holy Spirit to enable them to profess Christ and live in the light of God's presence ( 1 John 1:7 ). They should seek God's transforming power to change their hearts and produce the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23 ). A Christian wife is obligated to have a submissive heart, even toward her unbelieving husband (1 Peter 3:1 ), and she will need to remain close to God and rely on His grace to enable her to do so. 2 Likes |

As a Christian, there is absolutely nothing wrong in marrying an unbeliever or a Muslim whom you love. And lest we forget, GOD IS LOVE. Here's what Apostle Paul has to say 1 Corinthians 7 : 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. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife , and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean , but now they are holy. 15 But if the unbeliever departs , let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace. And here's my favorite part 16 For how do you know , O wife , whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know , O husband , whether you will save your wife? Case closed!! |

Bull craps everywhere! Who are the believers and who are the unbelievers? What am I supposed to believe? What is there to be believed? What Jesus (if a Christian) says about it is all that matters. It may not matter even! Religion has no place when it comes to happiness in marriage. God doesn't have a religion! Oya, how come pastors marriage collapse too? Africans should understand that God won't do for man what man can do for himself. Whatever rocks your boat |
