Admin	Dating a Muslim Posted : 9 Jan, 2013 05:30 PM Last year in April I was approached by my next door neighbor. He was very handsome and charming, and he was interested in me. On our first date I found out he was from the middle east, which was fine, but then I also discovered he was Muslim. I should've ran in the opposite direction as soon as I could but I didn't....Things began to progress rapidly between us. We spent everyday together and I fell into sin with him. He was patient, kind, intelligent and had a great sense of humor, but lacked everything I desired in a spouse. I fell madly in love with him despite everything. We just recently broke up and I can't help but be disappointed with myself for giving up so much for him. My relationship with the Lord lacked and deep down I couldn't be happy. I just warn anyone away from this sort of relationship. I'm waiting on God to place the right one in my life! Post Reply
View Profile History	Dating a Muslim Posted : 12 Jan, 2013 04:36 PM Some (many?) muslims are kind and decent people; and these shame many Christians who should know better. There's certainly nothing wrong with having muslim friends, but to date and ultimately marry one is asking for a whole new level of trouble! Even if they're only nominally muslim, and don't much care for the religious aspect of it, they're still very much a part of the muslim community - even if only in the eyes of their family - so to date/marry one means accepting that pervasive influence in your own life too. How would you reconcile this with your own beliefs? Finally, it's worth mentioning the practical aspects:if you marry and have kids, they're automatically muslim as far as family and religion are concerned, and if by some chance he converted to, well, anything other than Islam, then he's under the threat of death from family, friends and other muslims. As a Christian, you have far more freedom than he does as a muslim - be careful you don't squander it. Post Reply

View Profile History	Dating a Muslim Posted : 21 Jan, 2013 09:01 AM wow we almost have same experience but mine is different. at university so many muslim guy from middle east continue their study at my university. I am admit them handsome, gentle and caring. I almost fall in love with one guy. yess he so handsome plus he has good brain. But I always remember myself don't fall in love with Muslim guy because we have different belief. Even he try to persuade with if we get married, we can move to other country and I still can be a Christian. what I think is, if we get married, I know my child automatically Muslim. that too bad. for your situation sis, just to encourage you, better you two forgive each other with what already happened. Maybe now you very disappointed with yourself but when things fall apart, focus on God's love. People maybe will let you down, but God never will. All the best, sis. The best is yet to come. wait patiently with continually pray. God bless you. Post Reply
View Profile History	Dating a Muslim Posted : 9 Feb, 2013 05:09 PM Maybe you are paying to much attention to finding a man, read and pray and fast instead, and forget about what you want but ask the father what he wants for you,....apply this verse to prayer - Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the reign of Elohim, and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you. - Ask him for his guidance, teaching, knowledge, wisdom, discernment, strength, and the holy spirit to come down from heaven so his kingdom will come into your life more and more, if you do this and fast, he will move in your life and when the time is right, the right person will be added to you and you to him. It was always going to go wrong - Corinthians 2, 6:14 Do not become unequally yoked with unbelievers, For what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness? And what fellowship has light with darkness? Maybe God was showing you the condition of your heart, and now you know you need to put him first, as it is written all things that happen are to bring us to a relationship with him - Romans 8:28 And we know that all works together for good to those who love Elohim, to those who are called according to purpose. We can only date if there is to be no physical affection, as we need to know each other in spirit! put god before anyone, when you do this you will meet another who does this, and that will be the one god has given you to be with as a marriage partner. Praise the name of the Lord El Shaddai - God Almighy Post Reply

lizamari58 View Profile History	Dating a Muslim Posted : 15 Sep, 2015 12:16 AM I was married to a Muslim. If you are a Christian, I warn you not to commit the same mistake that I did for the name of Love. A Muslim man cannot marry a Christian woman unless she converts. You marry him - you marry the entire family - and pray like them. There are so many Islamic marriage laws that are not applicable to Christians. So be wary . Cultural and religious differences = divorce . Post Reply
lizamari58 View Profile History	Dating a Muslim Posted : 15 Sep, 2015 12:21 AM I met him in my country and was a collegemate. I thought religion would not be an issue between us. He never prayed and never discussed about my religion. He knew I am a Christian, never asked me to convert but was had to declare as one for passport and ID purposes. ...Back to his homeland- still we never had any problem ---unitl the entire family butt in and rest is history. I was young ....was ignorant if not been foolish. If I could only bring back the time. Post Reply
