Christian and Non-Christian Relationships?

Question by fifitrixiebelle: Christian and Non-Christian Relationships?
I am a non-christian. It’s not especially that I don’t believe, it’s just I’ve never really known much about Christianity until recently. However, my boyfriend is a Christian and I decided to learn about his beliefs so I can be compassionate and am able to properly respect his beliefs. In my search for knowledge and understanding I found this website

http://net-burst.net/singles/dating.htm#mix

There was a lot of helpful information, but this page specifically I found quite upsetting. Here are some quotes:

“Since the Bible insists you have little chance if you chose ungodly people as close friends, you must choose between God and wrong friendships. You will not have both for long. When choosing close friends, especially where there is a chance of romantic involvement, remember this simple fact: a person either belongs to God or to the devil. There is no middle ground.

To have sex with a non-Christian is to defile Christ. Scripture is emphatic that sex makes two people one. A born-again Christian is spiritually united to Christ and a non-Christian is spiritually united to the devil. To marry a non-Christian is therefore to try to make Christ one with the devil.”

“this puts sexual union with a non-Christian almost on the level of bestiality”

“Christians who sin by marrying non-Christians are in grave danger. By disregarding God’s warning about relationships, they throw away their right to divine protection, unless they thoroughly repent, which involves genuinely regretting that they married.”

This may well be the case in Christianity, I do not know. But I have found these statements very upsetting and hoped that I may be able to hear others thoughts on this. Particularly Christians.

I fear for our relationship, I fear for myself, but most of all I fear for him. If our relationship is endangering his faith, his chances of eternal life and is condemning, how can I do that to him?

Thank you for your time.

2Cr 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

1Cr 7:13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.

1Cr 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.

1Cr 7:15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such [cases]: but God hath called us to peace.

1Cr 7:16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save [thy] husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save [thy] wife?

1Cr 7:17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.

      Q&A: To Christian singles Out There?

      Question by nojust1me: To Christian singles Out There?
      Let me first say I’m a male. And out of pure curiosity to both men and women, what do you look for in a spouse? And what is a deal breaker that if they did or acted this way it disqualified them? Just curious

      Answer by ChrisDay
      Personally I will look for faith. A divorced person would be a deal breaker (Mark 10:9, Malachi 2:15-17), I also would not even consider for long someone who doesn’t take God’s word seriously and makes it even harder to worship or even may cause my to lose my faith.

      Looks don’t really factor in on this, I don’t see it too hard loving anyone any less over something like how they look.

        Christians have their own dating sites?

        Question by : Christians have their own dating sites?
        Muslims, Black people, Latinos, Hell, even homosexuals have their own dating sites. But you know what you don’t see? Feminist dating sites. Why is that? Why are there no feminist dating sites. Maybe I’m wrong, maybe there are some. I’ve just never heard of them.
        @Troll
        So let me ask you this. If it is such an attractive quality, why not advertise it in your dating profile. There is nothing wrong with wanting to date someone of your own faith, ethnic group, or race.

          Is Christian Dating Fun Or Biblical?

          Why do people think that when the word Christian is involved that it will not be a fun or exciting relationship?


          That association could not be further from the truth, just because people believe in Jesus Christ, does not mean that they are not fun filled and exciting. The only difference in regular online dating and Christian dating is the members share a common set of beliefs. When dating, finding others that have the same beliefs and common goals are very important. Basing a relationship on uncertainty or different beliefs and goals can be a recipe for hurt.


          Christian dating is not really any different than any other type of online dating experience. It is more of a specialized group that comes together to find love or friendship with others that share like beliefs. It is really no different than a specialized dating group based on lifestyle, heritage or profession. Many people want to limit their relationship to very specific similarities and Christian dating is an excellent way to do this.


          So, you join a Christian dating service, and there are several out there, now what? The next step primarily depends on you and how detailed or specific about meeting others that you want to be.


          For example, some people want to narrow the search down to only Catholics, no children and a professional degree. Others may not care what particular faith you are as long as you are a Christian. This is why online dating is so effective. Before the internet it took couples months, even years in some cases, to answer questions and find out information that might be more difficult to ask in person, today you look at their online profile.

          ]]>




          It is the opinion of many daters and professionals as well, that online dating has saved a great deal of time, heart break and breakups because individuals can look at a profile to make a determination instead of wasting precious time. Also, weeding through the possibilities before making contact makes it easier on others, because they do not get their hopes up.


          For some being rejected or passed over on an online dating site can be devastating and really hurts their feelings. That way if others only evaluate and pick from a profile, it saves some hurt feelings.


          A Christian Profile


          If you choose to sign up for a regular dating site and not a Christian site, that does not mean that you can not be matched based on religion. Some might ask “how would others know that I was a Christian, without seeming fanatical?” There are several ways you can let others know that you beliefs without seeming fanatical. In mere conversation, on your profile or by stating the fact upfront are all good ways to let others know. On most profiles there is a place for religion that you can answer if you wish to share with others. If not then when you are talking or chatting with others you can mention the fact that you go to church, believe and live your life for the Lord.


          Look for subcategories


          Several online dating sites have subcategories based on a number of issues that members can join. For example, it may be a group of cops or religion, but simply like minded individuals. Sometimes there will be a discussion or forum that has to do with religion where you can go in and meet new people, have conversation and profess your faith to other members.


          Most Christians find that by talking with other Christians they learn a great deal. Many times others can share information about the Bible, Christianity or other daily living trials with you. This is great if you have questions, need a friend or are scouting for a lover.


          So do not automatically assume that because it is Christian dating, that it will not be a great time. It is a matter of faith and the way that they live their life, but in no way inhibits their ability to have a great time!
