After that you are legally married. How u want to carry out ur ceremony is up to u.

If both parties cant compromise, no point getting married.

But seriously - you can do both.

If your other does not mind at all, at least can experience two different weddings. I have seen couples do that. Its the question of if your other approve... and also, families...

Don't worry. Your gf will slowly brainwash you to Christian smile.gif

I think marry in church is dream for most of the Christian girl.
Is hard to accept by Christian girl if they got to kneel down and serve tea for their mother and father in law, and hold joss sticks to pray her husband's ancestors.
But I think is not a big deal for Buddha guy to marry in church. (Think positively, you can save the "Ping kam" money for your honeymoon too.)

It depends a lot on the christian side espcially on the family on whether they can accept.

But as others said, she will most likely brainwash you to christianity.

Not to say something bad, but from wht is saw, most of the christian keep asking people join christian like keep pulling to their religion. for me actual all religion is good 1, no matter hindu, buddist or what, as long as wont harm people, good to people then good d. i remember i got read an article state that world best religion is Buddist.

If ur gf really love u she wont care. if her parent really love their children, the most important thing is is the guy is a good guy or bad guy this only the most important thing. If a religious people an is a big bandit this consider good oso?

TS, i feel you, I been through that path also.

I teach you what to do: you go back and ask your gf, does she sure she will FOREVER put her faith in God and will not turn backslide?

Ask her, if you accepted Christ now, and one day after married, you don't want to become a christian already, does that mean she will divorce you?

Ask her, does she know there are many pastors that actually got affairs with another women? I mean, these are famous pastors in U.S.

When you have finally known what does love mean, you will love him entirely, love him for who he is. Love covers all sins.

erhmm.. the whole family christian? or only she? (sry dint really read the whole posts)
you hv to consider both side parents yours and her's, what type of ceremony they prefer? best if they say up to both of you. that narrows down the problem.

and u cannot enter church meh? church wedding are nice too..i dont remember need to go temple pun? if got also is pray at your house ma.i hv frens couple where either 1 is christian & another is buddhist.. no issue also.if the gal/guy cant hold jossstick then just bow down laaa. including me no issue at all.. dun use religion as an excuse.. it's who can bertolak ansur.


p/s sometimes it's best both of you decide what's best and what you guys want.. some aunties/uncles love to kepo kepo and add fire...

TS think too much .... just do it .... you can pray as normal she can still go to church on Sunday .. you also can join to Church as well ... and she also can visit temple

Praying to ancestor is just a respect to the elderspraying to respective god subject to individual believe

If your gf is a conservative thinking Christian. She will eventually ask you to join her church service. I bet she wants to get marry in church. You better ask her opinion on this la. She will be the one to answer this question sooner or later. Find a fine day, sit down and joke with her about her marriage plan. lol

its all depends on both parties....if both party love each other, they will not make religion as issue. (but muslim diff case, you must convert)...

some parents will come into the picture and make a big hoo ha... just take it easy..sit down with her and discuss about this..if you really seriously planning to move on and marrying her...

You must learn about Christian principles and become a Christian.
The first thing you should do is to learn about the Bible and believe in Jesus Christ.
Receive Jesus' love first and save your spirit so that you can go to Heaven.
This is very important !

Ask yourself, can you convert to Christian. If not, then be ready to break up. Even if she can accept, her family and relatives WILL NOT accept you. Do you want a marriage without blessing? It's awful. Just to tell you, this happened to me once before, and I ended up with the latter option I gave to you.

Absolutely. Marriage must be blessed by God; otherwise, it is against God's law.
I witnessed many relationships are broken down because of cross-marriage.
People think what I say is evangelical and I do admit that. But what I say is also true.
Christians values are to put God and Jesus Christ first in their life; you will soon find a lot of values clashes and find understanding each other hard. How can this marriage be a blessed one?

i seen this situation before...the girl go ahead with the marriage... once a child is born, all is being forgiven..and now the guy is the father in law best friend...even sayang the son in law more then the daughter..

although religion play a part too but not in many cases...i also seen cases that the hubby is a buddisth, the wife is a christian...he is so supportive on the wife church activity and the wife also respect him on his buddisth activity...so is all based on mutual respect

I don't like christian like you. You are very judgmental.

You are one of the Christian that do NOT look like Christ.

Initially I just wanted to type 1-line paragraph and leave it as it is but to avoid causing more misunderstandings, I would elaborate a little bit more.

Don't you think you shouldn't push others to accept Christ before you first accept them as who they are? If you yourselves do not show love and accept them as who they are, who are you to ask them to believe Christ? It's just like: hey why are you using company's photostat machine to print your personal document? It's a kind of stealing - but you yourselves are using company phone to make personal phone calls.

And I REPEAT, love human, not sins.

If you yourselves do not show love and accept them as who they are, who are you to ask them to believe Christ? It's just like: hey why are you using company's photostat machine to print your personal document? It's a kind of stealing - but you yourselves are using company phone to make personal phone calls.

Christian that do NOT look like christ? I bet barely anyone looks like Christ. hahaha. im not even sure what Jesus himself looks like.
But thats just him opinion la. cut him/her some slack.

To Ts: I believe you may still have your wedding in a church although you are a non christian. i mean if her church allows that. different types of churches uphold different types of.. what do we call this.. laws? As for being a christian, its totally up to you. according to the bible, accepting christ is totally up to you. its not like muslim, if you marry a muslim you MUST be a muslim.

so my advice is just keep an open mind. as long as you love her and she love you... why not?
but the bible say do not be unequally yolked too. i will never get that verse.

And you yourselves do not know which side you are supporting. Here you support TS to marry the gf, the other hand you ask TS not to "unequally yoked".

I'm just emphasizing Angelina to accept one another, not to be so judgmental and push them to accept Christ, is it that hard to understand? You are nit-picking my words, you aren't reading the meaning between the lines.

Ts just go & ask either temple for the marriage arrangement or church?

As i'm a Christian myself and i did go to temple for marriage registration then only i go for a church blessings.

I didn't force my hubby into become a christian as we can't force our partner to convert just for the sake of marriage.

Normally Temple & Church allow for mixed marriage.

Last time when i was in KL, my hubby register at Then Hou Temple and then i ask for blessing at any Roman Catholic Church i choose.

Most of my friend also hv done it without any problem. Just ask properly which temple u are choosing or church ur gf were.

Good Luck

people getting controlled by religion does not know what they are doing at all...they just follow blindly....

To be asking about this problem means you are not even mature enough to think on your own nor you know why you are into that religion in the first place.

Once you have registered with registrar of marriage, you are already legally married. Going to church or temple is just a ceremony. You can opt not to do that at all. Why? Scared god will send you to hell for not getting HIS consent? You will be in separate hell anyway..one is buddhist hell and another christian hell...

2) I didn't love so much was some of the hypocrites that keep pushing ppl to believe in them.. I didn't sign up for this.

Everyone has their right to believe in what they want. Don't keep on saying yours is right others is wrong.. to be honest all are right! not a single religion tells u to do wrong things in this life..

btw, I'm christian on paper LOL! But I'm more inclined to buddhism to be my way of life now smile.gif

I enjoy going to temples, seems to bring me more peace than .... P.S: coz u know why; or see item 2) above smile.gif

Human beings are being created to love God foremost. This is the fundamental principle of life, fulfilling the purpose of Creation.
When a person deeply truly realises how great God is, he/she cannot stop talking about it (e.g., the majesty of His Creation)
God is our Creator who gave us birth so we a human being must honor Him. This is a simple truth that needs no explanation.
Marriage is a blessing of God as a gift - it is joy in the Lord. It needs the permission of God.
It is okay to be rejected by people, but if I am rejected by God, my life is meaningless.

If you do not convert, she will bear guilt for marrying you for the rest of her life.
Because it is against God's will in accordance with Christian Principles.

I heard my Christian friend told me, there few type of Christian believer.
And my uncle who is Buddha also married with Christian wife, they seems live happily together even though different religion.
plus they respect each other religion and never asking for changing religion

please spend some time to read this instead of sticking to the idea of all christians go to heaven, and all the others go to hell.
QUOTE
How different people interpret the Bible often tells us more about them than it does about God or the scriptures. The old barb "you can prove anything with scripture" is not entirely true, but lots of alternative and opposite opinions can find supportive texts.

I am especially bothered by those who use Bible verses to promote a God who is bent on condemning everyone to hell except Christians. And there are some who go so far as to expect God to eternally annihilate every Christian that doesn't belong to their specific denomination. That sounds more like tribalism than the religion of Jesus.

Don't get me wrong. You can make a Biblical case for such extremes. You can even promote genocide in the name of God if you cite certain verses.

But I've never understood why people would want to worship a God who was meaner than they are. That's not a God who deserves our worship. What kind of God would condemn Gandhi and the Dalai Lama to hell? Maybe an unjust, tribal deity. But that's not the God we see reflected in the life of Jesus, and it is not the God of healthy Christianity.

When Christians speak of God, we look first to the person of Jesus as the incarnation of God, the human face of God. Jesus did not run around trying to convert everyone to his religion. He reached out with compassion and understanding toward those who were outside his religion, and he treated them with love and respect.

He healed a Canaanite woman's child and the slave of an officer of the occupying Roman legions. He restored a demoniac living in a cemetery. He touched unclean lepers and a menstruating woman. He dined in the homes of tax collectors and sinners. His attitude toward those of uncertain religious virtue was remarkably tolerant, outgoing and forgiving. In fact, the only people who seemed to rile him were those who were certain of their own goodness and tried to cast everyone else in the shadow of their own rightness. He saved his harshest words for the moralists.

No wonder it was the outcast and marginalized who most embraced Jesus and his message. The people who failed to see him for who he was were mostly the Biblical literalists. Jesus didn't fit their Biblical expectations. No messiah was to arise from Galilee, they said. He broke one of the Ten Commandments when he healed on the Sabbath. He offered forgiveness freely to all instead of through the Biblically mandated Temple sacrifice monopoly. And he didn't throw out the occupying armies like the scripture promised. It was the Bible quoters who were blind to the good things he was doing. They couldn't see him as God's person because it didn't fit their Bible verses.

Too many good Christians continue to make the same tragic mistakes. They fail to see the goodness and authenticity of those outside their own circles. The fruit of the Spirit is "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and temperance." (Galatians 5:22) Wherever such Spirit is manifest, in any culture or religion, that is the Spirit of God being manifested. Christians name that manifestation Jesus.

I see Jesus in the Dalai Lama, and, were we to meet, I would be honored if the Dalai Lama could see the Buddha-nature in me. When we follow a God who is big enough to have been revealed in many various cultural expressions, we open ourselves to the possibility of being spiritually enriched by religious pluralism rather than threatened by it.

I worship a great God who loves this creation and its creatures. God will go to any length to be in communion with us, even unto death. God is revealed in every time and in every culture, not just in mine. And I believe God intends to lose nothing of what God has made. If God can make resurrection out of the evil of Jesus' crucifixion, then God will find a way to bring blessing, healing and new life to all.

--The Rev. Lowell Grisham

QUOTE
This is a matter of debate within the faith communities. Each of the world’s primary faiths would claim that it is the one way to God. I prefer to think of God as one and our responses to God as partial and inevitably flawed. Each faith, then, might have a piece of the truth.

Although English Biblical translators inserted “the” into the text, in the original Greek manuscript Jesus described himself as “way,” not “the way,” suggesting that we could come to God through him, but that other ways might exist, as well. That idea is offensive to some Christians.

It seems to me that we each make our choice as to which way we will follow. What matters then isn’t that our way be absolutely correct, but that we make a sustained and faithful effort to follow our chosen path to God. Our way must withstand scrutiny – we can’t just create a faith that suits our fancy – but it need not be the way that others follow.

--Tom Ehrich

Well said, beederbest.

Angela Lee, I once have the same idea as you have, all christians go to heaven and all non-christians will go to hell. After plenty of research, this is not the case.

AND, marrying a non-christian is not a sin anymore, for God is full of grace and mercy, He is always there to bless, not curse. I have a christian friend who married a non-christian husband, and her husband had accepted Christ on Christmas Day last year. This is already a prove to you, God works things in many different ways, not as narrow and conservative as you think.

I'm Buddhist who under Guan Yin and my bf who are Christian.
So far we don't really have any religion problem and we respect each other believe also.
And my mum ever told me is depend on me want to convert or not in future, plus my boyfriend didn't force me to convert. He say I can stick with my religion and believe. He also says that convert or not is not important but most important is our heart will always hove our GOD. Thats most important.

Plus I always become reminder for him to pray before eat~ icon_rolleyes.gif

The thread starter is asking about the customs and process of the wedding itself, not asking you for help in his relationship. He doesn't seem to to need any. So this isn't a religion thread but a "which custom to do thread."

Ts looks like It boils down to

Do both
Do either
Do something new.

Ive let this stay for a while since it's a unique problem despite not a relationship issue, but looks like there isn't any other answer than the above.
