I'm christian .. I will marry a muslim man but he accepted to become christian for me to get married.. is this ok?

Similar questions: christian marry muslim man accepted married.

The critical question is whether he is actually becoming a christian, of if he is just going through the motions of christianity. Religion is a very seep seated belief system, and I am inherently suspicious of someone who might make a significant conversion such as from islam to christianity just to get married. I would feel more comfortable if there were other reasons behind the conversion as well.

Will he never look again to my face .. I lived till this moment as achristian girl with a very huge faith that I have it now.. but I don't wanna lose the love ..because I love my bf and he love that he accepted to leave his relegion just to have me satisfied and not make me feell bad.. but today when I was searching.. church says that its not accepted till he really beleive in jesus christ!

Jesus loves you, regardless of what you do. As for his conversion, I have known mixed faith couples who got along well, and other mixed faith couples who were ultimately separated by their differences. Most of the issues you will have will be earthly issues, though putting a man at higher importance than your faith tends to lead to putting more and more things above your faith, and the ultimate end to that is leaving your faith behind.

I personally feel that for your relationship to work for you, he must remain true to his heart, and if his heart turns to Jesus, that is all well and good, and from a christian perspective, the best thing. However, if his heart remains true to islam, but he adopts the behavior of christianity, then eventually his heart will pull him away from christianity, and possibly away from you.

Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

My part is the easy part. You are the one who has to figure it all out in the end. I wish you the best.

Matters of the heart are always challenging.

No your marriage is not forbidden. I do, however, have concerns that you and your husband are going to have some issues to work out about religion. There is no legal reason that people of two different faiths cannot marry.

The fact that you are asking him to change his faith, and insisting that he and your children are Christian makes me think perhaps you are a tad fanatical about the whole religion thing. How would you feel if he asked you to convert? It would not feel good, would it?

So how can you expect him to just up and convert to your religion? Take your time before marrying. Faith is a big part of a marriage, you clearly have a lot of acceptance to learn before you are mature enough to marry.

There is no reason, other than your demands, that he should have to become a Christian.

I live in a family that teached me about christianity.. and I read in bible that we have not marry with nonbeleivers.. also church says that jesus will not accept him.. if it my own case I don't care for his relegion.. but the problem is I m scared to drive jesus angry to me.. the church here says that those who marry muslims will lose the life that jesus has given for them! I don't wanna lose my love.. and I don't wanna lose jesus christ! Thats why I asked?

Well, first of all, I do not sit here all day waiting for you to reply. Second, I have no desire to get into a religious arguement. Your church is lying to you.

However, it is your choice. Jesus will not be angry with you for marrying a Muslim. Jesus doesn't care who you marry.

And Jesus will accept anyone and everyone. Jesus will not leave you if you many someone who is not Christian. The bible is fiction.It is not god's word.

It is mans intrepretation of God's word. We have no idea if what is in the bible is actually what God wants.It is what man wants - and that was to force everyone to live by their rules. So, you have to decide between the lies your church is telling you, and the man you claim to love.

However, my personal opinion is that if you truly loved him, you would accept him as he is - and that means his religion, too. But, what I also think is that he is not going to convert, so this entire conversation is for naught.

And, after reading your other comments - if you truly loved him, you would not care what your narrow minded parents want, or will do. If you are old enough to get married, you are old enough to not be told what to do by your parents. How old are you?

You sound very young.

If the answer to any of these is no - then you need to live a little before getting married. How did you meet this guy? Do you know his family?

Where are you two going to live? Does he have a job that will support you both? How old is he?

He is 29 .. he is turkish and I m Jordanian I live in an arabic country that has a strict rules... here they even kill people who marry from another relegions.. there are alot of forbidden things we live .. girls are not allowed to go abroad alone.. but my parents has given me the freedom to choose .. I traveled to turkey and I met him there.. I know turkish so we can understand each others very well.. his parents I know them .. but we didn't tell them my relegion they love me as I am and they know that I am arab..we are going to live in Canada.. faraway from the two families.. well the thing that scared me is what church say about jesus .. he will be angry and will never accept this kinds of marriages...! I do take my own decisions myself.. but in this subject because of our community .. my parents are working to control my decisions! Superisi 12 months ago .

But I have heard that it says in the Koran that they are not to marry outside of their faith. You heard wrong.

Its only for muslim girls .. they cannt marry christaians superisi 12 months ago .

It is NOT Ok but not for legal reasons. It is not ok for us to demand another assume our religious beliefs and for good reason. Religion is merely a belief system; it has no proofs and to demand a person give up their religious miss conceptions and replace them with ours is… preposterous and unfair, notwithstanding very typical of religious groups.

Each person ought to be able and allowed to waste their opportunity to think and do research merely by the taking of ideas from other uninformed individuals and this, after all, best describes any religion, if they wish to avoid the work of research and contemplation that is their loss. Islam is poppycock but then, so is Hebraism and its spin-off Christianity. So, why not allow him his fantasy just as he allows you yours?

I had a friend, an intellectual, raised protestant who wanted to marry a German catholic girl and he converted so they could get married with the blessing of her, obviously, narrow minded family. He was willing to do this and go through the catholic indoctrination process to make her and her narrow minded family happy. He obviously loved her and saw no benefit in discussing such an unnecessary exercise with the…narrow minded.

Simple is as simple does.

One fairy tale is as good as another. However, this man's story sounds incredibly false to me; you need to do some more research into him to make certain this isn't a scam. Most people do not change religions on the spot, and if they do, then religion is not a real part of their lives.

This has the makings of an after school special where the guy runs off to another country with the children and raises them the way he wants. As to "insisting be become a christian" for any reason, let alone because of your parents, that is no way to start a relationship, and is a guarantee your relationship will crumble and not last.

Certainly it is not forbidden by God. Why would you ask someone to give up their beliefs just to marry you? You can be married and still raise your children as Christians.

There is not reason to expect anyone to denounce their beliefs because yours are too ridgid.

You are right I think I should follow my heart! Thanks! Superisi 12 months ago .

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of times our breath is taken away......... what you have written is amazing! Superisi 12 months ago .

It's my favorite quote. I have it framed and on my desk to remind me of it everyday.

I have read all the other comments and from reading "YOU" I see that your Faith means a lot to you. Since you are a true believer of Christianity and Jesus I think you would have a very difficult time married to a Muslim man. I hate to be the one to as the expression goes "throw cold water" on your relationship but in my opinion I think you would be better off finding someone else to marry.

Hopefully you are young and will able to find another "love". In my country not all women actually marry their first love. I think especially in your part of the world this relationships already has two strikes against it.

I don't mean to upset you, it is just that I am a practical person who has lived a good number of years and have probably experienced more of life than you have so far. One last thing. Don't ever let people make fun or mock your beliefs!

That was I was gonna ask..... but because I was afraid I didn't know how to ask :) hope it won't be a sin that make me loose my life in jesus :) superisi 12 months ago .

I also am a Christian and I never heard that it is a sin to marry a non Christian but I have heard that it says in the Koran that they are not to marry outside of their faith. I see your mind is made up so good luck. Bye.

Thanks for answering :) you made me happy while reading cause I felt that you were trying to help me thanks again :) superisi 12 months ago .

It's not forbidden for him but it IS forbidden for you. "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14)Unless and until he is a Christian, God says you very much may not marry him.

My sister in law has been married to a Muslim for nearly 40 years. She's remained a Catholic all this time and they raised a son. Some Muslims consider Islam to be part of their cultural heritage and do not actually practice the faith.

That is the case with her husband.

It is good that you are talking this out before hand. Whatever your decision, Have a happy marriage .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
