Hi guys, would like to seek advises regarding interfaith rship.
We clicked quite well these few months but have yet to get tgt. The only concern is diff in religion.
I do go church with her, but might not convert to Christian in the future.
She did say she hope she can have the her future partner can have same faith with her. and her mom might not like it too.
Any thoughts on this?

Good luck to u.

I thought islam is a bigger deal, compared to christian?
Puiii

if she cherished religion more thn love..

thn i dont see the future of u two..

Usually won't work, even if she don't mind....her family does. Better stop now while it's less painful.

Yeah Christian girl will want their partner to be a christian also because there is a verse in the bible which talk about being the same yoke (religion).

To be specific:

"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of the living God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, 'I will make dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore, go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you, and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty'." 2 Cor. 6:14-18, ESV

My cousin rejected a guy simply because of this reason. Tat dude stupid enough spent thousand ringgit on valentine dinner for her, and deserved to get this kind of treatment.

I believe those Christians that are very strong faith or fanatic will be like that... Because in the bible they were told to always put God first in everything...

thank you for the advise. she said before she believe in after life.
really wish we can make this happen. how can i?

Damn... I tot ppl komplen kaww kaww abt having to convert to Islam to marry.

Rupa2nya Christianity pun 2x5... the only diff is that it isn't enforced by law.

its gonna be very hard for you, even if you can change her mind now, she might change back later after "brainwash" session from her mom, churchmates, priest etc etc.

If she is fervent Christian then yes you hv to convert.

I don't see anything bad in converting. U can still eat pork, drink wine and avoid circumcision.

Go ahead n convert la Goto church slowly get use to the faith. Fact that she willing to take u in means she really likes u. One way of impressing her is helping out in the church n making friends there. When she see u commit she will do more for u

Hey There

Don't feel so down because of the difference of religion in your relationship. I am for one, a strong Christian since birth and now I have a wife which is a Buddhist, and let me give you our story so that you have a better point of view.

During my dating days with my girlfriend (which is now wife), her parents also didn't really like me because I was a Christian, as they are afraid that I might convert her to Christianity and all. But after our 6 years of dating, I manage to show her parents that converting her to Christian was not my intention, and I do respect all religion, so she is free to do whatever she wants and I am free to go church every Sunday and sometimes she does follow me to church as well.

After some time, her parents decided to finally accept me for who I am, and even allowing her daughter to follow me to church on Sundays as well, as long as I do no affect her religion ways and vice versa hers to me, I think we are doing fine.

Fast forward to now, my wife is 3 months pregnant, and the religion of the kids would most probably be Christian, because she said so herself, this is her exact words "next time the baby come out I wan bring the baby to church every Sunday to join the toddler's class so the baby can make friends".

So I do believe that religion is really how to approach it, I mean as long as you do not affect your gf's Christianity, I think it should be fine, and yes the Bible does say do not be unequally yoke, do take note that Bible is a guide and word from God. For example, your dad tell you "eh son, don't go eat that orange, cause the orange spoil already, later you get stomach ache". But you don't care and went on to eat the orange and you get stomach, does that mean your dad don't love you and don't care about you anymore? No right. haha

Anyway, good luck in your relationship.

Good luck and usually the other half will need his/her partner to be Christian prior to marriage... And usually need both to be Christian in order to have Church Wedding.

If u plan of only dating her, should be no prob and if u plan to marry her, then be prepared to be converted!

U still can eat ur fav food or drink ur fav wine or beer! Still can celebrate CNY even u converted to Christian...win win situation!...., what u can't do is ambil colok

Based on my experience, if she's a staunch christian you will probably need to convert.

you might be given an options, but not your kid, as your mil will force them ..

do you follow your wife to temple and pray?

I agree. Most Christians WILL try to get partners of same yoke. I met a few already. The moment they think I'm on to them (for the record, we didn't even go on a date yet), they invite me to their church. Not that I mind, but the notion just rub me in the wrong way... oh well... better luck for me next time... if I can find one...

nope, i don't follow my wife to temple and pray and her parents also know I won't go, so they are ok with it as well, eve during our marriage day, they side of the family gave their prayers to the ancestors in the morning first before me and my heng dai reach my wife house.

She is married to religion, not you.

1. Leave her.
2. Join her.
