The Bible is unequivocal and blunt about this.

Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

— 2 Cor 6:14

You need to each choose between listening to your emotions or listen to God’s word— which is very, very clear. This shouldn’t be a question at all, in my opinion, unless we want to pretend that the Bible isn’t clear about it.
In other words, if Christianity = righteousness & light, then Islam = wickedness & darkness, right?

Stop listening to pastors and follow your heart my brother o,when God created us, he never said Muslim should marry Muslim and Christian's should marry Christian's . Tink wisely bro am in a similar situation with you and I have decided to follow my heart.

Are you a muslim or christian in this case ?

Do you know that you can still marry a Muslim and she still retains he religion after marriage?
Seen a Yoruba man marry a Christian. She still remained a Christian while he a Muslim.


Give the Yorubas that. It's the same tribe that Christians, Muslims, Traditionalists, Athists, et al live together without discrimination.

Please I need your advice. Is so happened that I know this lady for years now. we are good friends. But the problem is, I know that as a Christian we can't really get married because she is a Muslim. So I have been trying to keep the relationship on just us being friends, even though I love her and I know She has this little feelings for me. If I had been serious, I know we would have gotten married or close to that, but I keep avoiding her and sometimes I do it on purpose.

Now, where I get really confused is that, any time i pray for God's will in marriage, she keeps coming to my mind. This is not infatuation or something. It has been happening over and over again. I know God also talk to us through giving us this deep impression in our heart.

It was so deep on day that I told the Holy Spirit that I can't marry her. I spoke with my pastor this week concerning this issue, and he said it is not possible for God to tell us to marry a Muslim and this thing keeps coming. am really confuse. because of this, have not been praying concerning marriage.

PLEASEEEEEE, I need Christians to comment on this.
You can't marry a Muslim lady for any reason until she is converted and genuinely born again not just a change of religion.

People keep quoting "Do not mix with unequal yokes" at their convenience, but you if you need a job or any form of help in anyway shape or form, it's funny how that statement gets lost on us at such moments, what does that tell you? or does it only relate to when marriage is involved?

And anyone saying one isn't a "true christian" (like you know what been one is besides someone else's opinion you have so come to take as YOUR truth) for mingling with unbelievers, tell me, from your birth till now, how you gotten any help or support (gotten a gift or shared a birthday cake) from someone who isn't from YOUR religious background, if yes, then you know where your statement should be...

You bible is blunt about it and you are very happy. Great

Why do you go mad when Muslims call you infidels. What's the difference?

They call you infidels and you go crazy but you can call them unbelievers and it's fine. Hypocrisy is a christian

She is coming to your heart anytime you are praying becos u always think of her, and as u said, u love her. And probably she is the closest girl to you, so why won't you always be thinking of her when u pray. Don't mistake that as God speaking. Trying getting closer to another Christian girl for 4months, let's see if that one won't be coming to your mind.

Simply go and find a christian girl to marry, before u start saying "God said". If you will marry her, then convert her to Christianity, thats how we will know.

Dont mind those bunch of phools. This same op works for an Islamic family, the same family treats him well and even ahead of some other workers(some will be Muslims)yet he gets treated better than some Muslims. But when it involves marriage then it becomes don't mix nonsense is sense. I keep saying it, christians are the worst set of hypocrites

Exactly. This is the reason why Yorubas are more tolerant than Igbos and Hausas.

I do not go mad when anyone calls Christians names. The best you will get from me is a smile.
True Christians do not go mad. Do you know the number of names and taunts that Jesus faced? Ever heard him going mad about being called names?
Nopes.
If you have friends who go mad when they are called whatever, they are not really true Christians.
Look for another example, bro.

And yes, I'm happy that the Bible is blunt. I would be worried and believe says, "fornicate" in one chapter and then "do not fornicate" in another chapter. I really do not understand why this bothers anyone.

To answer your question without mincing words, it is very wrong and unacceptable for a Christian to marry a muslim. The bible says not be unequally yoked with an unbeliever. Yes, you may have deep impressions about her because she's someone you love and think of. However, you know as a Christian that God will not contradict His word and will not break His principles.

If God is leading you to her as a Christian, He will first amd foremost make her become a Christian and prepare her for you, so as to fulfil His desires for you both.

Please, don't go ahead without seeking God and waiting it out. She will definitely become a Christian first if she's for you and you will see the signs because she will start bearing fruits.

I hope this helps.

What part of the country are you from?

Though I am from Rivers state, but dated a fulani gal (from yobe) for over 5 years, but we couldn't get past the relationship level. It was painful to watch her leave but it's a decision I had to make back then.
Funnily enough, we seldomly still talk, and she's still single and will be 30 this year.

The op should go ahead as long as the lady is ready to face the consequences, cos the family will definitely kick!!

Why can't that his God provide job for him In a christian company?
Why is this takes wages and salaries from a Muslim family?
Why is he happy and treated better than some Muslims by the Muslim family?

Re: Can A Born Again Christian Marry A Muslim Lady? by aod1(m): 1:10pm On Jul 29, 2018
I am in a similar strait. When I first met this girl she didn't look like a Muslim, she looked more like a born again church girl until I got closer. by this time I had already fallen in love with her. The difference is she loves me and has agreed to convert to Christianity after marriage but her dad is strongly against our relationship. For me, If you believe it's the voice of God you've been hearing, then go for her. God will arrest her heart and use it for his miracle.

Which bliss? Go to nairabet section and see a lot of born again doing spiritual business with Alabi. Don't let anyone deceive you o
What you see are people born into Christian home... They have never had the salvific experience of being born of water and the spirit.

A true child of God is a divine property... The eyes of the Lord are watching over him.

BTW, how do you know who is born again?

Gambling is unchristian so your fellows who patronize gambling concerns are living in disobedience... They can't be born again...

the thing is that have gotten any confirmation from God. see, I believe God is taking me higher. as in I may likely end up a pastor, though God hasn't spoken anything yet, but I know that is where am heading. so can she be a wife of a pastor, I don't think so. why this go to her if I don't think she can do well as a pastor's wife. and can God really tell one to marry a Muslim

You are only hearing yourself sir. Not God

Any marriage matter that comes with complicated confusion should be avoided.

The fact that there is a confusion, already interprets is a wrong adventure to embark on and the presence of a cpmplicated confusion also shows God's hand is not in it.

When God's hand is in what you are doing, you too will know, it goes smoothly and freely, confusion or complicated confusion can't surface. No sleepless nights

So STOP saying is God speaking to you, cos you are just hearing yourself.

If you dont rush into it, with time it will become clear to you that God was never the one speaking to you but your flesh.
