Can you marry someone whose faith is totally different from yours?

Yes...at the core we are all human... religion is a means of taming people.

Can you marry someone whose faith is totally different from yours?

God's word says "Marry only in the Lord" but it's not a compulsion because God's word goes further to say:

The shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself, But the inexperienced keep right on going and suffer the consequences! Proverbs 22:3

God's word is just like counselling but only for the wise!

Treasure17:

Yes you can!
Should you?
No, no you shouldn't!

Why?
If you are truely a child of God, your spiritual life and that of your offspring is in JEOPARDY!

If you knowingly invite satan to be your father-in-law, can you prevent him from visiting your house, marriage or family?

As an open minded person, I don't really see any issue with this as long as she's not too extreme with her faith. Have actually seen alot of couples who are interfaith and they are doing well.

Hmmm. Quite revealing.

Things began going worse after Jesus casted Satan out of heaven {Revelations 12:7-12} that's why God's word said "my people perish due to lack of knowledge" {Hosea 4:6} after 1914 degrading morality has caused a lot of havoc in the human society so false religion can't work anymore unlike before when the difference was not much. Only true Christians can enjoy happy home in this last days! Matthew 5:13-16

It is not an issue with a Christian who is not serious about her faith and what becomes of the spirituality of her children.

Any Christian who values his/her spiritual life will NOT tempt God by making a wrong choice (from the spiritual point of view)

Too risky

Nah, Two heads they say better than one. I pray God give me someone that'll help the journey to eternity easier.

No I can't.

I want a situation where my husband and I can eat from the same spiritual table, join our faiths together and pray concerning life issues, grow together both spiritually and ministerially.

I agree with you on that but they are hundred times better than a home with DIVISIVE SPIRIT!

And while i say i agree with you it's only when a child born in that family choose to follow the world around him but as for the man and wife who built the foundation of their marriage on the solid rock (CHRIST) they are always happy together as a couple and nothing can break their marriage!

its against the bible

2Co 6:14 — 2Co 6:17(KJV)
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

Reminds me of

5 The Israelites lived among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.

6 They took their daughters in marriage and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

7 The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord; they forgot the Lord their God and served the Baals and the Asherahs.

8 The anger of the Lord burned against Israel so that he sold them into the hands of Cushan-Rishathaim king of Aram Naharaim, to whom the Israelites were subject for eight years.

Judges 3:5‭-‬8 NIV

Actually I came across 1 Kings 11 today. It something God detest so much.

11 These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come.

12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!
