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.

I think you'll find a lot of Christians marry non-Christian men/women willingly. Sure some non-Christians trap Christians, but from what I've seen it's far more likely that the Christian will marry the non-Christian man/woman of their own volition, because they love the person. By the way, I don't agree with marrying a non-Christian.

Seriously? I can tell you now that pagans or non believers don't go looking for Christians to mate with. I was a pagan for years and all of my friends, including myself hated Christians and didn't want anything to do with them.
I agree with you that a Christian should probably stay clear of getting involved from someone of a different belief system. But that doesn't make them pagan or any other religion if they do get married. You are pulling this stuff out of your rectum.
Will unevenly yoked couples have struggles? Sure they will but then again my wife and I are evenly yoked and we have struggles as well.

For one they aren't called Paganic Symbols. Also most pagans don't believe what they are doing is dark. The big lure is that everything is bright and full of wonderful nature and light and love. It isn't until someone gets deeper into the practices that they want more then just the full moon rituals and sabbats.
But anyways, I know you mean well with your warning of unequally yoked couples but the rest of your claims have no substance or backing whatsoever.

This is dead-on. Many years ago I was very attracted to Pagan life. But in a world with just enough darkness, it is not a good path to be on when you get upset and go dark on dark people. There is no good in that philosophy. Especially after knowing/feeling in my own heart what Jesus did for us. It's a totally different world, with more heart than any Pagan group can pretend of.
My salvation IS NOT DEPENDENT on who I marry. Furthermore, God is not an "indian giver". Salvation isn't lost. I don't have to continuously ask for Christ to come into my life and save my pathetic soul every time I sin. Salvation is a one time thing. So many Christians think salvation is over and over and over. It's not. Salvation and sanctification are two different things. Grace, people. Grace. Love it. Live it.
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.

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.

I love how we all act like Godson is actually interested in our input or discussion, when the reality is that he has a clearly established habit of
--creating a new thread
--lecturing everyone with "sermon" that contains no scripture
--making generalizations and broad strokes that are likely based on personal experiences
--getting people riled up
--and never returning to the thread again.
It's the forum equivalent of standing in the doorway of a cafeteria, screaming "FOOD FIGHT!" and heaving a bowl of jello salad at an occupied table just before slipping out the door and having a cigarette or two while the building descends into chaos.

If this is really bothering you than you probably shouldn't marry an unbeliever. I really don't see that marrying an unbeliever puts your salvation in jeopardy. Either Jesus died for your sins or He didn't.
You have believers and you also have those that believe and have strong faith in the promises of God. It seems like you are just waiting for Miss Perfect to enter your life. It may be a long wait.

Even though I think this is just like the thread that says "homosexuality is a sin" or "worshipping demons is a sin" (just something blantly obvious that didn't need posting in the first place) I do have to say it doesn't make any sense to marry one if you are a Christian yourself. When God is supposed to be the center of the marriage, and there's only one person that's willing to do that, then yes there is a problem. I don't see what all the uproar is about it. Now I wouldn't say your salvation is at stake. But your marriage would definitely be complicated. Just look at all the failed marriages prior. History tends to repeat itself.
GOD does advise us not to marry unbelievers. And HIS advice is always good, so we should listen. Its not a salvation issue though. But it can affect your spiritual growth and function while you are on earth and could make your living together more difficult if you are very passionate about the LORD's business and the other is not. How can two walk together unless they agree? Amos3:3
