It has been discovered that some unbelievers and pagans try to lure Christians into a trap. And the trap is getting a Christian to marry them with the Christian knowing that they are pagans. If you as a Christian unknowingly marry an unbeliever then you have committed no sin but if you know in your heart that the person you are dating is an unbeliever and yet you marry him or her then not only have you committed a sin you have also informally told your pagan boyfriend or girlfriend that you are willing to join him or her in paganism. It does not matter if you have some sort of pre marital agreement where both of you agree to practice your different faiths separately (i.e you practice Christianity and your partner practices paganism during your marriage), the fact that you know in your heart that your partner is pagan and yet you go ahead to marry him or her has made you commit a sin and you have also informally told your pagan partner that you are willing go into paganism. Pagans know this and this is why they try to lure Christians into that trap. For example i once met a girl who is pagan but she did not tell me herself that she is a pagan instead she let me know that she is a pagan indirectly by letting me see her with paganic symbols and she clearly knew that i had discovered that she is a pagan. Whilst we were meeting she usually and deceitfully says that light and darkness can live side by side as long we have Jesus. This is just a clear example of how unbelievers and pagans try to lure Christians into a trap. My advice is this, marriage is not a joke, it matters who you marry, never say that rubbish which is" I love her and she loves me, that's what matters" if you do that you risk hell. never marry an unbeliever, never marry for love, instead marry for religion, marry for Christianity. Take your time to find a true Christian partner.

............Do ppl just make up anything and make it a belief? Like is there a group of old rich men in a secret room coming up with all kinds of strange unbiblical beliefs to confuse and mess with the Christians?

Could you please share some about your spiritual background? What type of church denomination did you grow up in, receive your spiritual education in? I would like a frame of reference for where your posts are coming from.

I have to disagree somewhat. Not that they don't love the person. But part of it is that the Christian hopes and intends to change the non Christian, and make that person a believer. Any strong Christian knows that a marriage is only temporary here on Earth, so you really risk a lot by marrying a non believer. And any strong Christian knows that it is only God that can do the changing. Hence why Scripture is highly against marrying a non believer.

Well God won't change a thing in your life unless you 100% want to know him with your full heart then the change come
please share the scripture passage that states Believers are forbidden to marry non Believers not saying it's not written I learn new stuff all the time I'd like to know.

We shouldn't deceive ourselves...any true believer who is heavenly conscious would or will not even try to court an unbeliever not to talk of marriage. How should you comform yourself to an unbeliever that doeth the things of this world, on what basis? Do you think you can change him or her? If you say yes, do you have the key to your own salvation? Obviously No... Note: The second worse thing after hell fire is to marry a wrong person. Darkness and light don't have any bearing. Well said @ Godson

In the first paragraph I am relieved to know that I have committed no sin since I didn't know my wife's denomination prior to the marriage. At the time I thought she was Catholic. About three weeks ago I learned she was raised Unitarian. She hasn't been to church with me in over ten years, she thinks churches are clubs and the Holy Bible is irrelevant. The spiritual warfare in our home has been overwhelming. Considering the deception where I didn't know about her pagan belief as a Unitarian, and I free to divorce?

I've been married 19 years. At first I thought she was a Catholic. It wasn't until just a few weeks that she confessed that she is a Unitarian. I feel that I've been deceived. What are my options?

Hello Glen...
First: welcome to CC!

Second: this is what we jokingly refer to as a "zombie thread"... it has been off the first page for many months, in this case. The regulars would start a new thread rather than "resurrect" an old one. Don't worry, we all learn as we get involved here. :)

Third: In the case you described, you have no biblical reason to divorce her. You married her, and until and unless she commits adultery or dies, I would suggest you accept that reality. By the way, pushing her toward either is sinful too! Your option is to pray for her. I would recommend the book, "The Power of a Praying Husband" by Stormie Omartian.

Agreed. I mean, not that we should marry someone of different beliefs than us. It's just easier to marry someone with similar beliefs and values.

But, here's what got me -

" If you as a Christian unknowingly marry an unbeliever then you have committed no sin... "

Now wait a sec. What?? How can you UNknowingly marry someone who's not a Christian? Like...how did it NOT come up in the dating phase of things? People usually try to cover their bases before marriage when it comes to knowing their religious and political views.

That being said, it's pretty much impossible to unknowingly marry someone who isn't a Christian. HOWEVER, even if a Christian DOES marry a non-believer, as Aimee said, that doesn't mean that person risks hell. That's ridiculous to say, and beyond the Bible telling us not to be unequally yoked, there is NO evidence to support your statements.

I might say more later, but this is all I have for now.

It's been over 20 years when my fiance at the time led me to believe that she was Catholic. I didn't have a problem here. We got married and attended Protestant churches for 8 years and then she stopped going and began reading books written by Sylvia Brown. She tried to convince me that Christianity promotes violence. She does not want me to talk to her about Christianity and tells me that I'm a religious fanatic because I attend a church function three times per week. And three weeks ago she came forward and told me that is to that of a Unitarian. In closing she said we could divorce if I had a problem with her religion.
