For those who home in on women being deceived because they are women. What excuse does a writer by the name of Andy Capp have? Jim Jones? David Koresh? Marshall Applewhite? All of these are guess what? Men. And don't forget Joseph Smith, Charles Taze Russell, and many more who are all men. And by the way it was not a women who denied knowing Jesus 3 times, but a man. And it was not a women who betrayed him, but a man. And it was a woman who fully believed what Jesus was predicting about his death before it happened. How did she believe? She poured perfume on his head in preparation. Don't believe me? Read Matthew 26:12 The men couldn't except it and didn't get it until long after everything happened. I don't doubt the author of the book is deceived, but is it really necessary to blame women for everyone else being deceived? Men are just as easily deceived as women are. Some people are quick to point out women's wrong doings while ignoring the wrong doings of men. They point out that women should follow every old testament law, while ignoring laws that apply to men equally. Please stop bringing women to the stoning pit to be stoned so to speak, it is not helpful. It men vs women mentality. It is showing superiority instead of loving one another as we are told to do.

You want us to believe what you are telling us. Why won't you believe us when we say that no one is angry or hateful or even condemning you? None at all. We have been trying to tell you that marrying anyone outside of the Christian faith is going to cause you a world of heart ache. Even if this someone were simply an atheist. It doesn't matter if the other person is a muslim, hindu, buddhist, etc. . . The situation would be the same. Everyone has been saying all along what Warrior of Jesus has said happened to her and another person she knows. So have several other people. You need to realize that while many religions use the same terminology as Christians, they mean totally different things. For example, muslims believe Jesus was only a prophet and not a savior as the bible says he is. The bible says he is our savior, that he died on the cross and rose again. They do not believe this. They believe good works will get them to heaven, instead of Jesus. Who Jesus is to you and who Jesus is to a muslim is where you are at odds with. The two of you will always be pulling in two different directions with who to worship. Jesus or allah of the muslim belief. It does not matter what the other religion it is. They will always want the Christian to give up their faith and cross over into whatever religion they are. And as Warrior of Jesus said, you are going to be very miserable with this. And very soon after marriage, regret marrying outside of the Christian faith. Marriage is hard enough, without having to battle also over who you will worship. This is why Jesus has told us to not marry outside of the Christian faith. Again, what we have been telling you applies to ANY religion outside of the Christian faith, not just islam. We are NOT telling you this simply because this man is a muslim but because he is not a Christian. If this man were an atheist, we would be telling you the same thing. Don't do it. Because he is not a Christian.

Have noticed this the other day, but didn't have a chance to post, till today. The opster has been defending muslim belief's, quoting the quran. Talking about how wonderful burkas, etc. . . are. So there is now room to think we have been speaking to a muslim all along. Wonder how muslims would feel if we went to a muslim message board and pretended to be a muslim asking how muslims would respond if the question was about a muslim converting to Christianity and then defending Christianity in every post. When in reality the person was a Christian to start with. Rather deceptive don't you think? I don't think that concept would go over very well if this question and responses were on the other foot. There is also room to think that if this person was a Christian, she has left the faith, in pursuit of getting to heaven by his/her own strength and power. I say this because islam is a “works” based religion, meaning it is dependent on how much the good deeds outweigh the bad. This is all based on what humans will and what humans deem as righteousness. Muslims will always say they are basically good people and are going to heaven. Their own book and other writings tell them they are NOT guaranteed a place in heaven in spite of all their good works and charities. So the opster needs to do some real soul searching within his/herself and ask his/herself if he/she really does have unquestionable assurance that he/she will get to heaven. Because see, in the Christian faith we have absolute assurance meaning no ifs, ands, or buts about it of God's forgiveness and salvation right now, which is NOT based on our “works” and what we as humans call righteousness but on what God has chosen and done for us. It is based on Jesus being our savior. It is all about believing he is our savior without question in our hearts. As for the question of being unequally yoked. . .the Christian bible tells us not to attach ourselves in close relationships with people who do not share the same morals and values irregardless of the other persons religion or lack of religion. This would apply to marriage, business and close friends. The reason being that those who do not share the same values, will want the Christian to start seeing things and situations and/or participate in sinful actions. Scripture is explicit on the issue of being unequally yoked. There is NO room for individual interpretations in this issue period. A person who becomes a Christian BEFORE marriage and then chooses to yoke themselves with someone who is either an unbeliever or of another religion is yes, sinning. A person who is ALREADY married and then becomes a Christian is not. Because the marriage occurred before the person became a Christian. .

Because your posts here reflect that. Every time someone gave you an answer in this thread you had a “but he, this or that” . You've already made up your mind about what you want to do before asking the question. So there really was no point in asking other than to convince yourself and folks here that all will be well. You have shown us, that you do not like the answers given regarding being unequally yoked. Qnts and willa are trying to point out to you that being unequally yoked is not the best situation to be in. You, yourself do not have a guarantee that all will go well after the marriage ceremony takes place. We can't make that any plainer to you. You have been shown scripture which very plainly says that if you are not yet married to not plan on being unequally yoked. And from your replies , you are determined to be unequally yoked period. Both Qnts and Willa, are talking about someone they knew who had married a muslim The topic of this thread is about marriage to a muslim correct? . They are speaking about their friend's experiences marriage wise. . .certainly nothing about terrorism. Their points are that if you are moving from finland to a country in which islam is the state religion. You will be required by law, to participate in islamic prayer and rituals. You simply can not pretend to participate in their rituals and practice Christianity at the same time. They (islamic religion) certainly do not want you speaking of or praying to the Christian Jesus. And islamic states (countries) definitely do not want Christians converting muslims to Christianity. You will not have freedom to worship Jesus as you would like.

Correct answer is Assyria Ezekiel 23:4-5 The older was named Oholah, and her sister was Oholibah. They were mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem. Oholah engaged in prostitution while she was still mine; and she lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians--warriors

The word of the Lord came to Ezekiel that Samaria had become a prostitute. What nation had become her lover? Edom Assyria Egypt Israel

cousin esther 2:7 Mordecai had a cousin named Hadassah, whom he had brought up because she had neither father nor mother. This young woman, who was also known as Esther,

What happened to some Galileans while they were offering sacrifices? They were robbed They saw a vision They were imprisoned They were slaughtered

It is well known by psychologists , police departments and prisons that rape is done for the purpose of robbing the victim of dignity through violence. And your going to tell me, that is about arousal? Rape has absolutely nothing to do with beauty or sexuality. Has everything to do with domination. Its about the rapist having power over another person. A man is perfectly able to control himself. In the case of rape, he chooses not to. Its an excuse to pass the blame onto the victim.

This thread is 3 yrs old.

Your welcome

Rusty said : I"ll probably be the first one that gives a wrong answer. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say... Andrew? Andrew is correct. Mark 9:1-2 And he said to them, "Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power." after six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them

Correct kwik. Which of the following disciples never saw a vision of the kingdom of God coming with power before they tasted of death? James Andrew John Peter .

According to the book of Hebrews, how did God speak to people in the past? Through Christ through the bible through the church through the prophets

John .

There is no scripture that forbids marriage by age. But we are to make sure the potential spouse is indeed a Christian. And is serious about his or her relationship with Christ. And really, this should not be an issue since she is only 2 years older than you. I can see where some would have an issue about this if the woman was old enough to be your mother. Because then motive of such a marriage would come into play.

Sic, this is a sample of the “word of faith” doctrines. And they are false teachings for they go against scripture which teaches that Jesus did NOT come to bring us health, wealth, and a life of ease. We are not promised a life of ease. What we are promised is that Jesus will always be with us through good and bad times. He has promised us, that he will never leave us. Words of faith doctrines say that if you have enough “faith” (belief) that your business will bloom, it will. If you have enough faith that you are very healthy, you will be and so on. These are just a few teachings that are false. Why do I say they are false? Because they are based on man's ideas of having a good and prosperous life. Ideas from satan really. These teachings have hurt the Christian walk in thousands of lives around the world when the things don't happen as expected. They end up getting criticized and chastised because they didn't have enough faith. They didn't get healed, they didn't prosper, etc. . . God gives good health to some, others money, some have excellent wisdom, others are good at teaching, some have the gift of gab. It all depends on what God planned for our lives. Not what we can “faith” things to be. As for Elisha knowing the plans of the king of Aram. And the events that immediately followed was for the purpose of teaching the nation of Israel as well as the surrounding nations that there was indeed an all knowing and all seeing God. A living God. Idols of wood and stone can not see or hear, but the God of all creation could. And this is why God allowed Elisha to know the plans of a foreign king. Even in those days, God was calling all nations to worship him only as well as Israel.

Who was the high spriest when Israel entered Canaan under Joshua? Zadok Abiather Eleazar Eli

2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? Here it is, scripture that flat out says to not be yoked to an unbeliever. She has not yet married this man. It is telling her to avoid joining in such a marriage before it takes place. I have this to say. That if the original poster loses her faith in Christ because of what you are telling her hazard, the onus will be on you and her both. Someone saying telling you to marry them so they don't have a heart attack is NOT love. Sorry, it just is NOT. Its a red flag that the person is controlling and domineering. Its a con, so you would do what he wants. In islam, you as a woman, have absolutely no say on how he or other men in his family can treat you or the children. Right now he can be all loving, but as soon as you two marry, his true colors will come out for all to see. Sharia law, is NOT in a woman's favor. You lose any and all rights and freedoms as a woman. And you definitely will NOT have the freedom to practice Christianity. The muslim religion prohibits it expressively. You are setting yourself up for trouble, tears and lots of regret. Your own heart and head is telling you this is NOT a good idea and to NOT do it. Pay attention to it. In your own heart you believe and feel this is wrong. The holy spirit is telling you that this is not for you.

1 Cor. 7:14, For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. This scripture does not fit the original posters case. This verse is about two unbelieving people who have ALREADY been married, and one becomes a Christian after the fact. The original poster is NOT yet married. Totally different situation. Muslims are very open and vocal about their religion, especially in a country in which islam is the major religion. The point is. . .the original poster is very well aware of his belief's. Deidre, no one is saying that they don't happen, but that scripture tells us to not do it, because there is indeed the enormous potential for a Christian to be pulled away from their walk in Christ. If this were not so, God would not need to tell us to NOT do it. It is hazardous to the spiritual health of a Christian. For every one case there are a 100 others who live in tears and regret. Its playing russian roulette with a Christian's relationship with Jesus. This isn't about romantic love, but about our walk with Christ. Just because so and so did it, does NOT EVER make it ok for someone else to do the same. It is what God says is the ideal, not what other people do. The original poster has a conviction to NOT do it and it is coming from the holy spirit. And the many posts here are confirming that with a do NOT do it.
