RillyNiceGuy: My friend the faith is Christianity not Baptist. Baptist is man's traditions of how they choose to excersice the faith.



Very good point and choice of words.

From my experience, I would suggest never to get involved with someone else of a different belief.
Considering the Bible mentions it is not a good thing to do, something about being unyoked, I never really understood that English word.
mike69spain: She is Orthodox, I am not even Christian.

It is about respect for each others faith and not to feel the need of ridicule.


Well, Said!!!! My sentiments exactly!!!thumbs up thumbs up thumbs up thumbs up

I feel it is also a matter of truly loving and accepting the things about that person that makes them whom you fell in Love with. This is a respect for the person and Your relationship. The necessity of that acceptance spells the success of the relationship's future. This is a Dual street. Both persons have to have this respect.hug hug hug
somechick: I believe marriage should be about love, not religion. If you both can't get past your religious beliefs, you shouldn't get married in the first place. And I feel it can work, but you only get out of it what you put into it.

And that is what happens. Just make sure he respects your source of guidance, as so many points out here. wave
Ambrose2007: I don't see as much problem for people of different faiths - after all, they're united by having "faith"; people who don't have faith being with those who do...well, that's far more problematic, I think.


A good point. Marriages of different faiths have the same basic premise, that there is a G-d. and that Religions are different methods of Honoring that G-d. However, marriages between any believer and a non believer, ARE the most difficult. My fiance from years ago was raised Buddist but was an atheist. I was willing to Live and Let Live but HE wanted me to believe as he did. It was tiring to try and not let him get to me. It was also depressing to have someone say you need to believe as I do. I hated the fights too.hug hug

I have dated a muslim, but, don't think i want to get married to one, because i don't want my kids to be confused. I also know that i don't want to convert.

It is a matter of wise choice and the likely changes by association from the faith. If a person will only be around another of different accent.......the acceent can be picked up.....the same with doing those things not wise accourding to the faith.

Two beast of burden were joined by metal and wooden collars (YOKES). To be yoked (joined)with a person of a different faith....then changes happen to the faith in an effort to live together. It makes it hard to not pervert the truth.

This is why the modern Christainity is corrupted because of the absorbing of paganism into the church in an attmp to include and remove the pagan ways. instead the true faith is long gone and replace by a different Gospel and a different God. But there is a small flock keeping the true faith and it is growing to fullfill the scriptures and they mostly will be killed by those thinking they are doing God's will. Read Revelation!

I don’t know any path of faith where it is not recommended that you stay married once there.

That’s the essence of marrying someone, your intentions are (probably) for life and some ask their god about it, some their friends and parents.

That we can afford to fail that intention and walk separate ways, that’s modern life and culture, i.e. not so common a thousand year ago.

Kind of, yes. I just don’t take part of the sacred ceremonies, since it would be to laugh on the rules of the traditions contained in her church. But all parts where one need not to have passed one or another religious act before, there I am with her.

I do not touch the wine and the oblate; I do not touch the sacred water and make the cross sign. But I listen to the words of the priest and take part of the general ceremonies. And I like it; it is very serene and soothing for the soul to just be there. Two - as one.

This is the way I feel. Shelia is a devout Baptist while I'm one of those sinning unbelievers. I respect her for her belief and even go to church with her.

I'm one of those seeing is believing types. All I know is what a book (written by man) and the clergy (men) say.

Besides, what kind of god allows his priests to molest children and let them get away with it?
