As a Christian you have to marry a Christian

That is what the bible said.
hmmmmm, one question I always like to ask. If u parents were not Christian will u av been one? If they were not Muslim will u have been one?


How many ppl got the chance to make that decision them self? Only few... Africa have gotten so engross in religion that even the basic things we shud do ourselves we don't do instead we pray.......


The problem is when one religion believes its the most Superior.


They are country who don't practice Christan or Muslim religion are they all going to hell?


What we have are just church goers only few really serve God,

Jesus preach love to everyone one, but av seen so called Christian so hateful of the Muslim.

How many of us will av a gun on our head and won't denounce God.

We all are just hypocrite and the worse are the self glorified so called Christians...


Like I always say. Judgement day will come and we will all the shocked..

And to those who think there is no supreme being called God. I hope he shows himself to u.

And to those shouting religion before love. Lol. When the marriage issues do start pls come back here and share us the experience don't wear that fake smile alot of us wear and pretend all is rosy in our marriage


AFTER ALL SAID AND DONE, ONLY GOD KNOWS WHO IS TRUELLY SERVING HIM

And in that same religion, there's division. Most especially Christianity. A Pentecostal church fellow wouldn't wanna get involved with an Orthodox fellow. It just doesn't make any sense.
when two Christan couple have to cancel marriage over church difference. And we carry and read Sam Bible.

Reason Africa will always remain behind.

Our religion sentiment

One of the major factor that affects love is unity, so if we I say I love you to some extent it means that there is some form of unity in purpose that causes us to have a strong bond. In Nigeria religion is very important to us as a people and a disunity of religion can be a stumbling block to the growth and development of a relationship.

How many religious people are cheating and not loving??

Religion is unimportant. What is important is how the religion affects the relationship

It all depends on the personalities involved. In fact I have seen up to five couples who are mix religion. But for me I can't marry someone who we are not on same page in terms of religion irrespective of love. I don't want clash of ideologies and beliefs in my family.

If God tells me to marry an unbeliever, I will, because I know He wants to use it to show His Glory. The most important thing is obedience to God. Many marry according to their will not God's will. And many are not in a relationship with God, thereby practicing religion and waiting for their pastors to lead them and choose for them. May the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob
never cease to show us grace through Christ..... So be it.

1 John 4:7-14 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

1 Corinthians 13:1-7
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Its not everything God will tell you to do, Can God ask you to steal or kill?
He gave Adam wife, and later Adam blamed God, now the rule is ",He that findth", you must find for yourself.
Thank you for the correction. More blessings.

This is the christian version of God, not the true God. However, I could remember when Jehovah told Hosea to go and marry a prostitute, an unbeliever. How about that? Was he sleeping when he commanded that?

Is *our all* on the altar of Jesus Christ laid?
if He(Jesus Christ) is not the *Lord of all in our lives*,
He is not the *Lord at all*
let us not presume, we are trying *gradually* to decide *receiving God's grace, mercy and love by allowing 100% of our flesh to be crucified together with the flesh of His Son Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary* so that in *exchange for our dead/crucified flesh*, Jesus Christ will *pour out the fullness of His God and human nature* into our mortal-bodies.
Jesus Christ Our God and Lord gave *all(100%) of Himself* to us(human beings) on the cross of Calvary
hence
if we are going to *receive and use the GRACE OF THE CRUCIFIED JESUS CHRIST*
then we can only do that by *using/surrendering our all(100% not 99.99999%)* to engage JESUS CHRIST
thus
"So likewise, whosoever he/she be of you that *forsakes* not *all* that *he/she* has, he/she *cannot be my disciple*"
(Luke 14:33 KJV)
There is *no other reduced option/watered down gospel* about being a *Christian/Believer/Born-again/Disciple-of-Jesus-Christ*,
Let no preacher(whether myself or not, lay-person or ordained deceive you/me) that *receiving Jesus Christ Life is gradual* while we keep on *manifesting sin and stubbornness unto our possessions/gifts/talents/wealth/ambitions* at the *expense of eternal life*.
The only *gradual thing is after Jesus Christ has entered into our individual lives and become the Lord of all* then He gradually grows as in the womb of Virgin Mary from *conception to Ascension* in any aspect of living on this earth he decides to achieve through our individual mortal-bodies.
Lord Jesus Christ be the Lord of *all* in *my life*!!!!
Great Grace Brethren!!!
