gracegrace View Profile History	interdenominational dating/marriage Posted : 27 Jun, 2010 07:48 PM whew! This could get interesting. ;~) Let me take the diplomatic approach and say, yes, I would date an Interdenominational believer. LOL The truth is that I have learned that there are certain doctrines of certain denominations with which I do not agree. Therefore I know that entering into a relationship with someone who holds strongly to those beliefs would not be wise. I also know...in my personal situation...that it would not be wise to enter into a relationship with someone who has not formed their own opinion about those issues. In other words, there are certain things in my book that a potential partner should not be neutral on. Not that I would force someone to come to a conclusion about things, but more that I would see neutrality as a red light...on those certain topics. If you are driving and you see a red light, you stop. To me it is sort of the same in dating, if you see something that seems a warning and causes you to pause, it is wise to stop and think about it. Look both ways before continuing. ;~) So, I guess I am ending up being diplomatic again. My answer seems to be MAYBE / MAYBE NOT. ;~) Post Reply
klmartin62 View Profile History	interdenominational dating/marriage Posted : 27 Jun, 2010 08:50 PM I have to say I am with Grace on this one. There are some denominations that I could live with and some I could not. For instance, there is a rapidly growing group in California that take it as their personal mission to straighten out all other denominations and tell them they are not saved. I tried to date one of the women from there and it wasn't pretty. I have no problem with them telling people their belief, but this group goes so far that they print out what to attack them on and how to do it. I also tried to date a woman who was into the prophetic movement. That didn't work out well either. She came to the Baptist church once and heard me preach. LOL. That was the beginning of the end. I am a little Charismatic, so they don't bother me, nor do reformed Christians, nor even Catholics. I am pretty easy going, but you have to draw the line somewhere. Love and grace, Leon Post Reply

klmartin62 View Profile History	interdenominational dating/marriage Posted : 28 Jun, 2010 12:59 AM Steve, I think the reformation was the beginning. It showed people that it was okay to question the church teachings if they didn't align with the word of God. So then you had everyone who could read forming their own opinions.

DontHitThatMark View Profile History	interdenominational dating/marriage Posted : 28 Jun, 2010 12:20 PM I would say that it didn't matter what church they went to as long as they were humble and seeking the truth. That's basically all I would look for, but there are some beliefs held by certain denominations that do not line up with mine...at all...and I would see no reason to put ourselves in a situation where every time God's name was mentioned it would inspire a "discussion". Luckily I found someone who was searching for the truth. Not from my denomination, but I don't care. Our beliefs line up enough that there has been no conflict so far. Lucky me! :rocknroll::prayingm: :peace::peace: Post Reply
View Profile History	interdenominational dating/marriage Posted : 28 Jun, 2010 02:17 PM My Uncle who is Catholic married a Lady from the Luthern church.No problems,ok. the marriage was a very good one.My Aunt has since gone on to be with the Lord in Heaven. I have no problems dating women from other denominations. As long as they believe in Jesus Christ and are reasonable. Jesus can not return until all are united as one body before Christ. Post Reply
GlendoraMike View Profile History	interdenominational dating/marriage Posted : 29 Jun, 2010 08:17 AM BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT I once was dating a woman who was Catholic. I met her at my church which was a Nazarene. As we got to know each other in dating I found that she wanted to send any kids that she would have to Catholic school. The big problem for me is that God says that we are not to pray to anyone or anything other than Him. I find that Catholics do differently. As friends we can work. As something that could wind up in marriage we don't. HERE'S TWO CATHOLIC FRIENDS NOW: :prayingm: :prayingf: Post Reply
