The Neolithic community at Mehrgarh dates back to 7000 BCE
If we are right and the calculations made by Creation theorists from the Bible are true then the people here must have lived with dinosaurs and woolly mammoths.
Since they were an agricultural people they would have used domesticated animals.
All I have to do is excavate the evidence that they rode dinosaurs or mammoths and used them a...

I'm a Christian, dating an Agnostic. We've both thought about marriage before but we're both young so it's not a serious matter yet.
From what I've read, no one will actually answer the question flat out. They answer a question with a question and ask "Why would you want to?" Well, because I love him. I can't help who I love. While I know it says there are likely to be problems in an unequal m...

I’m a Christian, dating an Agnostic. We’ve both thought about marriage before but we’re both young so it’s not a serious matter yet.
From what I’ve read, no one will actually answer the question flat out. They answer a question with a question and ask “Why would you want to?” Well, because I love him. I can’t help who I love. While I know it says there are likely to be problems in an unequal marriage, I want to know if it’s an outright sin. There’s still the possibility that he could be converted. I’ve been praying for him, hoping that God will slowly bring him over. And I’ve been seeing small changes since I’ve been praying, such as he’s brought the topic of religion more often than usual.
So in conclusion, I am aware that it is warned against, but is it a serious sin, even though there are ways to turn it around and we both love each other anyway? Would I go to hell if I married a non-believer? And him being an Agnostic, he’s half way there anyway, unlike with an Atheist.
I’d appreciate a serious answer, rather than someone arguing against my religious beliefs. Thanks

Fundies will say yes, because they fear that education would rub off on them.
“The common dogma [of fundamentalists] is fear of modern knowledge, inability to cope with the fast change in a scientific-technological society, and the real breakdown in apparent moral order in recent years…. That is why hate is the major fuel, fear is the cement of the movement, and superstitious ignorance is the best defense against the dangerous new knowledge. … When you bring up arguments that cast serious doubts on their cherished beliefs you are not simply making a rhetorical point, you are threatening their whole Universe and their immortality. That provokes anger and quite frequently violence. … Unfortunately you cannot reason with them and you even risk violence in confronting them. Their numbers will decline only when society stabilizes, and adapts to modernity.” – G Gaia
i would marry christian woman if she aint a ho cause most woman these days are hoes. seriously its hard to find the right one these days.
The Bible says not to do that…but later it says you can….I don’t know.
2 Corinthians 6:14: “Do not be unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and lawlessness have in common? What fellowship has light with darkness?”
1 Cor. 7:10-14
10 But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her husband 11 (but if she does leave, she must remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not divorce his wife. 12 But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13 And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, she must not send her husband away. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy.
No, it’s not sin, but I guarantee you it’s not sexy to whisper in your future spouse’s ear “you know, you’re going to Hell, don’t you?” during foreplay.
Wow…
Are you stupid?
You love him, and you’re letting your religion get in the way of it?
Go for it, kiddo.
As a Christian I do not think it is a serious sin.
No it is not a sin to marry a non-christian. As long as you love them, religious beliefs don’t have to be brought up.
Paul tells us not to be unevenly yoked with unbelievers……………. 2 corinthians 6:14
You have the Spirit of God living in you and he doesn’t – it’s a major difference to God.
No it is not a sin. In my religion, I have sights to get married in the temple where I can be sealed to my husband for eternity-beyond death. I know that the only way to do this is to stay worthy, but also to date the right people. If you date someone that does not have the same values as you, you are at risk of ending up with them. It sounds that you ended up falling in love (congrats by the way!) and there isn’t anything to stop your feelings. It isn’t a sin, but you will not be able to be with your companion forever.
“And him being an Agnostic, he’s half way there anyway, unlike with an Atheist.”
That makes no sense. You can be an agnostic theist or an agnostic atheist. Agnostic is not a middle ground between atheist and theist.
But seriously, you’re going to let a 2000 year old book tell you not to get married?
God says “Do NOT be unequally yoked together with an unbeliever. For what fellowship has righteousness (christian) with lawlessness (unbeliever) and has communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? and what agreement has the temple of God with idols? etc (read it all for yourself in 2 Corinthians 6: 14 – 18).
I would advise you give the unbelieving boyfriend up before it gets too serious.
< < 2 Corinthians 6:14 >>
New International Version (©1984)
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
I know this sounds extreme. What it implies is that the two would be more likely to drift away from God and not be a force of spiritual agreement as God had intended for Christian marriage.
I don’t understand why dating and/or marrying a non-Christian would be considered a sin in the first place. If you love him, you love him. Period. End of story.
But remember, if you believe that he is “inferior” to you or is in need of saving, you will slowly drift apart and your relationship will tear apart.
No, it is not a sin. Keep praying and discussing it with him. If it is important to you, he will care enough to learn and probably convert. If he doesn’t care to learn about it that should tell you something.
It is not a sin.
Paul does advise against being unequally yoked, but it’s because of the complications that I’m sure you’ve already heard about. Especially in regards to children, if your spouse does not share your religion, there can be conflicts over how to raise the children.
Talk to your boyfriend about the subject of religious education of your children. If he’s cool with raising them Christian, until they’re old enough to choose their own path, then there shouldn’t be any real problems.
But think also about what you’ll do if he never does convert. Will that cause you pain? Will you constantly worry about his soul? What if your children decide to be agnostic or atheist?
Just some things to consider.
2 Corinthians 6:14: “Do not be unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and lawlessness have in common? What fellowship has light with darkness?”
Being agnostic does not make him “half way there”. The Bible clearly tells us not to do this so why question it?
You wanted the answer and there it is
Jesus says not to yoke yourself with an unbeliever.
F*ck what the bible says. Don’t allow a stupid book to tell you how to live.
Is it a sin? No!
Will you go to hell for marrying a nonbeliever? No
Will this cause you problems in marriage? Almost positive. Consider this: Suppose you believe that the Bible/God says not to divorce. When life brings you both challenges, it will, only you will be bound by this belief which is larger than your emotion. The agnostic is not bound and has freedom without conviction.
Will this affect your children? most definitely
So, if God says not to, then why would you? Does God know more about these things than you?
Read what happened to Solomon before you make your decision.
My christian wife of 18 years (I’m an atheist) doesn’t think so.
True story: when we were getting married, several of her christian girl friends told her she was making a big mistake marrying an atheist, that she should only marry a “good christian man.”
Now, 18 years later, all but one of those friends — who all married “good christian men” have been divorced, and the one that hasn’t has suffered physical abuse from her “good christian” husband. Some have been divorced from “good christian men” more than once. Their “good christian” husbands cheated on them, were drunks, beat them, abused the children, left them for other women, etc.
Meanwhile, my wife and I have been very happy, never cheated on each other, haven’t once raised our voices in anger at each other, and haven’t had any of the problems those others did. How about that.
Peace.
It is NOT a sin.
Do not expect to convert him – that may or may not happen.
In my case my views changed over a long period of time so that I am very glad that my mate was not a convinced Christian.
We are now on the same page so to speak.
You will have to take it from there. Good luck!
What most of us seem not to understand is that God did not put laws to catch us, but rather to protect us.
For a Christian to marry someone out of the faith more than a sin, it’s a big pain in the neck. And not only that, there is no divorce in Christianity unless there is sexual immorality.
Obviously it depends on which christian sect you belong too.Historical records are filled with accounts of christian women marrying non christians.
You must understand the definition of sin. It is action, thought or omission that does not meet the standard of God. God’s standard is for a Christian to marry another Christian so that they may serve Him during their lives together. The verses that talk about being with an unbeliever and staying married are for those people who became Christian after their marriage. We are also to raise children in a godly home. If your husband does not agree with Christian values that will confuse and affect the children. You also need a godly husband to help you in your faith. Loving someone does not make them husband material.
No, it’s not a sin … it’s just thought to be not advisable
because of the difficulties that can arise over this union.
The Bible says he will receive some level of sanctification
due to your being a believer, and there is the possibility
that through your example he may come to the Lord later.
Just guard against the possibility that you may, through
his example, turn your back on God.
No its not a sin.
Its just not recommended.
If you are strong in you faith and can’t be persuaded to change and it does not cause any undue pressures on you, You should marry as you please. But you should also think about what you are going to do with your children and agree on something before they come into this World and not after.
Read the books of Paul to get a better understanding of this matter.
