It may not be a rule, but in the Bible God strongly advises against it.

It's probably just becaus she's dating an idiot, not because she's dating a non-Christian. ^^;;;

There is a difference.


Agreed. Idiots make you stupid. Or girly. Or both. I say it's fine to date outside your religion -- but to smart people.

Of all the reasons posted it is yet STILL more than that.....

What if you had kids with a non believer? You know the controversy that would arise???? The parents would fight on who would preach what to the children. Who would teach what religion to the children. Such conflictions would bring about great downfalls, and most likely end.....

in divorce. God very much dislikes divorces. He said so himself. And I don't blame him. Not just for the parents, but for the kids divorce can be VERY painful emotinally. I should know.....my parents divorced years ago and it was horribly painful, as it is for many other kids who experienced it.

I hope this girl will start to realize she may be in trouble. Whether this guy is non-Christian or otherwise, it sounds as if he's not good news at all.

When I first met my boyfriend, way before we started going out, he said he was Methodist, and I was unspecified Christian (I don't take a denomination, because I don't like having that tacked on). I thought at first that it would be a problem. But he never pushed anything on me, and I never pushed anything on him. Now we are engaged, and he doesn't really call himself Methodist, he just calls himself Christian, like me. We've never had any problems. 3nodding

What rules? O_o

I don't think it says in the bible that it is wrong, but being with a non-christian would be quite difficult, if the relationship got serious the other person would most definately want to have sex, which is of course wrong according to God's word.

I just wouldn't risk hurting my reltionship with God.

no, there are no rules, but i think if u date and even marry a non- believer, more problems will occur than if u married or dated a cristian

i think its okay to date non-believers or people of different religions, it just not okay to compromise your own beliefs for another person of different or nonexistent beleifs

It is not wrong as long as your intent is to raise the other person up, but if the other person is bringing you down with them then you really should not. It is easier to fall than it is to climb, if somone is hanging on to you and dragging you down you have to be strong enough to climb with that person weighing you down.

Thats a very good point about the kids, SaintXenos. It's one thing to date a non-believer. But marriage and kids is a whole other story. What happens if she goes to church and takes the kids with her, but the kids are always asking why daddy doesn't go to church? Why doesn't daddy believe in Jesus? Is daddy going to hell? These are really tough questions to answer for a little kid. And their daddy is the one who's going to put little doubts in their faith, whether he means to or not.

Sad part is, the bad ones bring the good ones down 90% of the time.

God has told us not to be yoked with unbelievers. And, dating or marrying an unbeliever is extremely dangerous! They can make you end up losing your faith. God is really against it. If she really likes him, she should stay his friend and help him become a strong Christian before even considering dating.

its the person's choice for who to go out w/

but God is against the whole dating non believer thing and it could go beyond control
this is somewhat related but if ur thinking of marrige to a non believer, then thats a NO. my freind's is a christian and her momis a wicka and they're divorce, bcuz of religion and of cousre divorce is bad!
so thats all i can say

You shouldn't date/marry/take things that serious when you're with a non-believer, because..

1. If they don't have Jesus guiding them, then who?

2. They will cause problems and can make you not be spiritual.

3. They are unsaved which means they go by the convience of things, and their feelings, which the Bible says to be sober of the devil, but they do not know that. They don't know what they're doing sometimes.

4. Sometimes we are like the unsaved, and I know we are just sinners saved by grace but God tells us to be seperate of the world (like "Christian" rock music..it's just wordly music with Jesus' name in it, and it's not the lyrics that are bad, but the music. Sooner or later if you're obsessed with that kind of stuff, you'll go, "Ah..."Christian" rock/rap/etc. is JUST like the "real" rock/rap/etc...so who cares if we listen to the "real" rock/rap/etc.!") and He tells us to have the church in the world but not the world in church, if you get what I mean.

NOTE: Do not be offended by this! The devil wants you to be! For the bible says in Matthew 13:20-22:

But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

The bolded means that when the word of God goes against what you've been doing, you're offended and would rather be stubborn and ignore it.

Did I just type all of that? eek Anyway, God bless y'all. heart
