Admin	Dating People from Different Denominations. Posted : 18 Dec, 2010 02:46 PM How do you guys feel about dating other people from other denominations? I have no problem with most denominations though,except that we all here have different views on the Bible,traditions & beliefs from our churches etc.I am of the Pentecostal denomination,but for some reason,a girl that is a Non-Denominational mostly message me or relpiles to my messages more than a woman who of my Denomination!:rolleyes::laugh: Post Reply

Posted : 19 Dec, 2010 04:27 PM To:Bcpianogal,thankyou.To you brothers thankyou also for what you're saying,but i just want you to remember this, i did not bring up this subject to argue about any Denomination,but rather about dating other women from different Denominatons.There's a lot of women who i'll like to know as friends,even though we are different denominations.But if i want to date a lady from another denomination,i do'nt want it to be a big issue or argument later on.I once thought of if i had met another lady who is a Pentecostal like me the problem would be in the future would be is if we get married what could happen if one of us have to move to whose church.

Elisa View Profile History	Dating People from Different Denominations. Posted : 19 Dec, 2010 05:14 PM Hi there, Denominations can cause a bit of trouble. Actually, not so much the denominations, but the underlying belief system. I dated a Catholic man for a while and was attending classes to convert when it hit that my beliefs could not bend enough to accommodate theirs. The guy was not able to handle my church either. This became a huge issue. The priest of his church kept expressing doubts about a mixed marriage...me protestant him catholic. I have a Pentecostal friend who will only date other Pentecostals. She maintains to do any less could lead to absolute ruin. A Jehovah's Witness believes the same. When reading your posting, and then reflecting, it occurred to me that here are three people I respect basically saying the same thing. So for me, the axiom would be, proceed with extreme caution or make life easier and just say no. However, in this and all things, God has the final say. Experience has taught me to not tell Him no.

Posted : 19 Dec, 2010 08:28 PM I think we make the mistake(to a degree anyway) of assuming that just because someone says they are following Christ, that means they are supposed to be imbued with all knowledge and fully developed. If they don't meet up with our standard/level of growth/truth then they turn into a "faction" of Christianity instead of just some brothers and sisters that are still growing/learning. I think the test for a marriage partner would be to see how willing they are to follow the truth/bible instead of holding on to something "they've known for a long time" that is erroneous or just "traditional". It probably is important to find someone that is at the same place in their christian walk/submission to Christ as you are, but as far as believing exactly the same things, I don't think that's very important unless it's a major core belief in dispute. :peace::peace: Post Reply
Tulip89 View Profile History	Dating People from Different Denominations. Posted : 19 Dec, 2010 09:09 PM Mark, you make a good point. My brother ended up not dating a Pentecostal girl mostly because when they had theological discussions, she wouldn't defend her position with the Bible, but instead talked about how things made her feel. As much as he liked her, he just couldn't get past that. Post Reply
View Profile History	Dating People from Different Denominations. Posted : 21 Dec, 2010 07:32 PM I have thought about this before. Sometimes I think it might be easier/better to just try to meet someone in my church, as limited as that might be. If you do start dating someone from another denomination/church, then you at some point have to have a discussion about who is going to switch churches so both cann attend together. I really don't look forward to that discussion as most people are generally pretty attached to their own church/denomination and won't want to give that up. Post Reply

Posted : 23 Dec, 2010 06:29 PM Thankyou all for your comments on this.I have my say on this also.If it's the will of The Lord for you to be with someone who's from another Denomination,then it's not a problem through Him that you both can't work out.But just as Shawn said,it's a very tough & difficult subject to introduced.@Tulip,i thankyou for sharing about what you've said about your brother.I can tell you that is one as a Pentcostal man i find very unusal.
