Is It Right For A Christian To Marry A Non-christian? by richmekus: 7:06pm On May 13, 2018
God forbade the children of Israel marrying non-Jews. He said, “Don’t give your daughters to their sons and don’t take their daughters for your sons” (Ezra 9:10-12).

This instruction is still the same even in the New Testament! No Christian should marry a non-Christian. You belong to God’s family and in this new family, God forbids it.

During the re-gathering of the Jews to Jerusalem, Nehemiah found that some of them had transgressed this commandment, and he “contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves.” (Nehemiah13:25).

God loves us and He doesn’t want us to fall into error as Solomon did. According to Nehemiah, Solomon’s disregard for this commandment became his undoing.

He said: “Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin” (Nehemiah 13:26).

In spite of the fact that God loved Solomon, visited him twice and blessed him with wisdom unlike any other man, his strange wives still caused him to sin.

His problem wasn’t that he married many wives but that he married ‘foreign’ women who took him out of the Lords will. And the same thing will happen to any believer today.
