If you are a Christian, is dating a non-Christian a sin?

hi,\n it is difficult to answer this without sounding judgemental.... please believe me when i say that i am only putting myself where they MAY be.... It says in the Bible not to be unequally yoked, but that means in plain English that as a christian if you date a non christian it may become difficult for you to stick to your christian beliefs, personally if my sons where to date a non christian that had never had the chance to know the joy of Christ my priority would be to give them that opportunity.\nPraying that God will bless you in your search for answers.\nGod be with you\nShaz\nx x x x x x

From a Christian point of view, I have to say no, because it is sin.  However, if you are not a Christian, then this is not a factor.  So weigh the pros and cons.  Do you love the person?  Are you willing to spend the rest of your life with this person if you end up having a baby together?  \n\nWhat ever you decide to do, always be safe.  Practice safer sex, and after marriage, you should wait for a couple of years to make babies.  Take time to enjoy each other before you bring another person into your new family.

Yes-absolutely. Your spouse may become a Christian while attempting to raise his children correctly.\nUnless this unsaved spouse has shown you that to stay with him your life will be miserable. But you do not mention any problems, only that one is saved and one is not.

Yes: as a rule Christians are less moral than the average non-Christian person. Absolutely. Their morals are based on something other than morality per se.

If your asking if its good to have a girlfriend thats christian - yea! of course, that will probably mean she may have more self respect and morals then other girls. \n\nIf you asking is its good to have a g/f when your a christian - why not? How else are you going to find the person you want to get married to?

Well,If you are doing it just for the rewards then there will be no salvation for you.....Because GOD knows you intentions.....So yes I would still be a Christian.\n\nVery good question though........GOD BLESS\nhttp://www.gotquestions.org

I am a christian and it is not a sin to remarry because give someone he knows will love you for who you are. Although It did not work the first time. God is there to help you and bless you with someone who can love you as much as he do. but make sure the next is your last. make sure in your heart, mind and soul that you both are in love with each other and God himself.

I agree...it is NOT ok. \n\nGod loves the SINNER, but hates the SIN. The Lord gave you all the words to say for this, and I can't say anything else, lol. \nThis world needs to see the Light of Jesus and I pray that these posts continue to do just that. :)

Good question!\n\nApostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians7:14-18, "Do not be yoked with nonbelievers." If God is speaking to you, telling you that this boy is not a Christian, then you should listen to Him, pray about it, and see what God leads you to do. In my opinion, if he was practicing witchcraft... then within 4 days-a month he probably did not accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Yes, DO ask him these questions, to his face-- have a sit-down talk. Is he attending church? Does he profess that Christ is his Savior who died for all his sins? If so, then he is a Christian and you should help him grow by having a Christ-centered relationship with him. Christian dating is focused on marriage. And marriage, the Bible says, must be with a believer. If it turns out that he is not a Christian, and you still feel like you should stay together, then ask God to help you help your boyfriend seek Christ in his life. Take him to bible studies and retreats and church. Let God do the rest. If you feel like your boyfriend is not a Christian, and has no desire to truly discover Jesus and eventually accept Him into his heart, then I say you should break up with this boy. He will not be good for your own spiritual walk, and he might even pull you down to his level. Make sure he doesn't "falsely" accept Christ just to make you feel better. Christ is not a dating instrument-- He is our Savior and Lord who died on the cross for us.\n\nPraise God for this strength that you have for seeking His heart! I wish you the best of luck through this, and pray that you'll find the man of God who will lead you spiritually in love and encouragement-- that is also the man of your dreams!

Simple version: no.\nVersion with an explanation: No, for many reasons. The first one, though, is that God said not to do it. God tells Christians not to be yoked with non-Christians. There are many reasons for this:\n-Where will you go to church?\n-Will the muslim want to tithe to the Christian church?\n-what will the children learn as the true religion?\n-What will they think when they find out that their mom is not saved, and what will they think of that?\n-What will the children think when they read that muslims should kill all Christians?\n-How will it feel for the CHristian to have sex with the muslim- knowing that the muslim is going to hell?\n\nWhen people say that "nothing can stand in the way of love" that really bothers me. That is like saying, 'I have an earthly love for this muslim. I know that it isn't God's plan for me to marry them until they are a born again Chrstian, but I really think that our love knows more than the Master of the Universe.' There will be trial after trial in this relationship. \n\nIt may seem hard to hear that this person isn't God's plan for you. God sees such a bigger picture than what we can at this time. He knows best. Our lives will go better if we just listen to what He tells us. You are going to have to stop dating this muslim girl. You don't want to lead her on. If she is truly born again at a later time, then you can see if you want to start dating her again. \n\n I have already been praying for you.

Absolutely not!  You should feel lucky to have him.  If you want the relationship to grow then you always have that.  I too am a christian (getting baptized this Sunday!) but I believe what you have is far from wrong.  It seems that your feelings for him are deeper than sexual and that is something Christ cherished, LOVE.

Truly, I don't think it even matters whether you are a Christian or not, any gentleman should respect a woman with all of her qualities, choices, and thoughts.  Any challenge to these things should be done with respect, consideration, and charity.  So if a guy loves a girl, he should respect your choice to be abstinent ... but ... he also has the choice to rejected it as well, which I fear most men would.  The ones who respect it, and participate (meaning they're not dating behind your back, but are abstinent with you) are the keepers.\n\nGood luck, and may God bless you!

+    :)\nA Christian in Rebellion!\n\nChristians are forgiven sinners.\nNo better and sometimes worse than others..\nI am or have been attracted to other sins just as strongly as you are now attracted to the man you say you love.\nLove (AGAPE) by the way is not sexual, lust (EROS) is.\nIf your love for this man does not lead you into fornication (in thought or deed) then It's not sin.\nIf you mean you feel lust for this person you should resist it.\nBeing a Christian means Making Jesus the Christ, the Lord of your life. \nJesus loves you and all homosexuals as much as he loves anyone else.  He died for all of us.\nIf you love him you will keep his commandments.\n\nNo amount of approval from others on this site can change what you must do to please him.

having sex is not really a sin.it depends upon the person u have with.if suppose the person is suffering from std infections then it is really a risk.sex is a feeling that god has given to us.it is the one that allows the perpetuation of the species.\n                      marriage of what this world has learnt is that exchanging the ring,celeberations,and taking oaths.but marriage is the bond that is created between man and women both physically and mentally.so if u love the person and he is really a fine good person then go ahead.

No, absolutely not, sweetheart.\nOnce you love someone, it couldn't be a sin. I mean, don't be promiscuous.\n\nHate people is a sin. Kill somebody is a sin. Envy is a terrible sin. War is a big big sin. Gossip is a sin.\n\nThe gender doesn't matter, God want us to love each other. A love stronger than racism, larger than life. \n\nStay cool!!!

I would worry about that too. I'm was raised as very religious, but have found the light, so to speak and have become an agnostic. I'd keep my eyes open. A cheater is a cheater. P.S. Isn't adultery a sin?
