Your child reaches adulthood, becomes a successful whatever and meants the man/woman of their dreams. The person is kind, considerate, loving, overall perfect and their almost completely compatible, but he/she is of another faith, whether it be Islam, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, whatever.
Would you still give your child your blessing or would you raise heck over it? Fathers, say it was your daughter, would you still give her away at the wedding?
Everyone, would you prefer that they be happy with someone of another faith, or settle for someone that they loved less that was of your faith.
Since my shocking comment to my roommate was the reason this forum was created I guess I should give my reason why I wouldn't support my child marrying a person of another faith.
The bible says that you should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. This is true in many aspects of our lives in not just in relationships. The reason for this is because you can not grow or achieve your full potential by being with someone who doesn't believe the same things as you. If you desire to go to college you wouldn't hang around people who would discourage you from it? If you want to stay abstinent, would you hang around people who fornicate? If you don't do ****, would you hang around drug dealers or crackheads? The answer is no because their lifestyles and mindset is not the same as yours. As far as religion goes, islam and christianity is not the same. They might believe in the same God, but religion is totally different. If you are all about serving Jesus and teaching christian values and they are all about Muhammed and teaching islamic values then there will be conflicts. This is the same for the other religions mentioned. This is not like a black marrying a white because that deals with the physical, but this issue deals with the spiritual which is who the person really is. If she or he chooses to marry outside their faith then that is up to them, but they won't have my blessing.
Amen!! :lol:
He speaks the truth
not totally, allah and JEHOVAH aren't the same gods..(GOD for JEHOHAH)...
read the qoran and you'll agree :idea:
I'm not interested in reading it but from my understanding they are the same. I was on a website last week (nation of islam) and they referred to Allah as GOD.They didnt say a different God.I won't get into that though because It was quite confusing when the started to go on about UFO's :?

I have read that the Nation of Islam is not recognized as being truly muslim...some have even went as far as naming the Nation a cult! Any truth to that?

I would call it a cult and hate group.They dont completely agree with the teachings of Christianity nor traditional Islam beliefs.What exactly is the point of NOI???To enforce black supremacy??

nope, it's actually to make us look like idiots while enforcing black supremacy... :roll:
I can understand that, but are you not gonna let them come over for dinner. If she does do it anyway, are you gonna disown her or is "not giving her a marriage blessing" where it's gonna stop? Does that mean that you're not gonna consider her married & what about if they have children? Are you gonna not see your grandkids or something.
When it all comes down to it, young people now-a-days don't need anybody's blessing. They ,like we, seem to do what they want to do anyway, right?
Like I said before, if she or he wants to marry a person of a different faith i.e. islamic then that is up to them. But they won't have my support. If it is a daughter then I won't be there to walk her down the isle. I won't contribute anything financially towards the wedding because if I did then it would be a sign that I support their actions. If they have children then that is a whole other ball game which will be too much of a mess to describe. I will see the children, but I guarentee that if that happens then we will be a very disfunctional family. Bottom line: It won't happen in my family!!
