"it" can be done referring to the ceremony, which is what this was mostly about. It's should NOT be done and often CAN'T be done, particularly if one of the two are really "religious"...by that I mean not just a "go to church on Christmas" kind of person
right, but the fact is the article talks about how frequent it actually does occur. Truth is, and I have said this from the start, that if two people of different religions get married neither of those two are probably too overtly religious. If they were then religion or similar beliefs would generally be a must before hand.

I think it can be done. Though I also think it can be unhealthy too. The article talks about a jew and a catholic marrying one another, but I could see it with an Apostolic and a person of another faith. **probably will get torn apart for saying that**
My dad was raised in a catholic home and mom was of the Jewish faith. They been together for 56 years now. It was never an issues while growing up, dad had his Christmas tree, mom Menora . As for us kids, growing up they allowed us to decide, I went Apostolic and my siblings made there own as well.

to say it can be done is completely accurate, so long as you are talking about 2 people getting married and staying married without getting a divorce.
But there is no way it can be done in such a way as to leave the person who walks in true faith still connected to that true faith.
One cannot be both in the faith and disobediant to that faith. What does light have to do with darkness? dont be unequally yoked with unbelievers....
it is a dangerous path. There is that chance the unbeliever will come to true faith (it happened with my parents) but there is also that chance the beliver will be turned away.
You are absolutely correct Ferd. Even couples experiencing a difference in opinion, especially if those opinions were those the church would call elements of separation from the world, I would imagine it is a living hell. How can a husband or wife consistently be told their husband or wife is out of the body of Christ, that they are lost, and on and on, because of that seemingly minor disagreement?
...and you are asking about major differences? Sheeesh.
Punishment by law...we are admonished in the word to follow the law in every aspect.
I see what I believe you are saying. If I am wrong, my bad.
The bolded part I want to address. I never said that you had actually said this. My point was if I were to use the same logic or "they entered into a union of marriage and they are not the same faith so it is sin" thing then the only way to acutally repent is to divorce. Repenting does not physically undoe something it spiritually undoes it. So maybe I should have phrased it as a question and not a statement. I know you think that marriage out of the faith is sin--that is covered. Do you think that if the person that is the christian repents to God but is still in that marriage and being a full partner in that marriage is it still sin? Are they still in sin? Sorry was not meaning to come across accusitorial.
Well let me use the example of John (Apostolic) who marries Fatimah (Muslim) I believe there's no doubt he has committed a sin by marrying out of his faith, against the clear biblical mandate.
If John acknowledges his sin afterward, and ask for forgiveness, he's forgiven. That's what God does when we confess our sin, of course. But to answer your question: no, I do not believe John is in a state of continual sin by remaining in the marriage.

A Catholic marrying a Jew is something very different from what I'm talking about JT.
I think we're talking about Christians here. No disrespect to HappyTown's parents, but I don't consider Catholics to be Christians, because I don't consider Roman Catholicism to be biblical Christianity. Not sure if you do, but I do not.

The marriage might be as easy as the wedding or as rough as sand paper it is up the spouses to work it out. As far as raising the kids, assuming that this couple woud have kids my guess is that it would have been discussed before the thoughts of marriage or at least before the "I do's". I would venture to say that if two people of different faiths ( I mean way different faiths i.e. christian and buddist) are probably not so grounded in their faith as you and I might assume. Cause if they were then most that are very grounded would have the religious views or their counterpart be a prerequisite for the any relationship.
Hence the phrase "leap from faith"

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
I was raised in a home where my mother was Apostolic and my father was Baptist. Both of my parents were active in their churches and we went to church with each one on alternating Sundays. For me it was very stressful, because I did not want to choose a religion because I felt I would be preferring one parent over the other. We children were not allowed to make a choice in religion until we were adults. My brother and I chose Apostolic, my sister Baptist.
My husband's first marriage was to a Baptist and he was Apostolic. He made his choice out of rebellion to his mother. He was married to his first wife for 38 years, but he has said that after he married me, an Apostolic, he can say that his first marriage lacked a closeness that he attributes to the difference in religion.
I think it can be done. Though I also think it can be unhealthy too. The article talks about a jew and a catholic marrying one another, but I could see it with an Apostolic and a person of another faith. **probably will get torn apart for saying that**
You mean an Apostolic and another Christian? ...of course THAT would not really be "another faith" now would it?
