Re: Leap of Faith:Marrying outside your religion
One would have to convert to the other, there is no other way.
Matthew 12:25
But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

No. I said I can see it. It is ultimately up to the individual. I have heard it is SIN for an apostolic to marry out of the faith. Not sure I would go that far, but truth is no one apostolic agrees with another (i.e. this forum) so that makes it tough too. I am not against a women cutting hair or wearing modest pants and shorts. My wife is not against those things either, but she wants to raise our daughter a certain way. We have come to an agreement about things. Though we are the same faith at the foundation there are other issues that have to be worked out.

Well, what does the scripture say,JT ?
Do you get the idea that God is ok with Christians marrying non-Christians?

It says not to, but doesn't say it is sinful. That would be adding to the scripture. Is it healthy, not all the time and infact most times it is not healthy, but I have seen it work. But again most people that would marry outside their religion or faith are probably not that commit to it anyway unless it is only out of tradition.

Paraphrased: "The Bible says don't do it... but if we do it, that doesnt make it a sin... even though the bible plainly says dont do it."
OK sir.

look you are famous for trying to paint people into a corner on here--which you are not always good at. The verse talking about not being equally yoked with unbelievers is twisted out of context. The verse is actually talking about being tied to in the nature of work. Now there is also a princple in there that one should not marry out of the faith. But to say that it IS sin is something that I can not say. I will tell you this that if for some reason I were ever single again I would still date in the faith cause it makes it easier. The bible says it is a shame for a man to have long hair--not a sin. Once again it is the insecurity of some ministers that they use scriptures as a whipping stick.
But you and I are not that far apart on this. I look at things from all angles. Though to you there are no other angles. Which is your choice.
I like this version of the one verse you posted

Disobedience is a sin, so you can't have it both ways.

Sin? I wouldn't say it's a sin, but just very unwise and risky.
If it is a sin, how would one "repent?" Divorce their unbelieving spouse?
