Should Interfaith Couples Be Able to Marry?

Should interfaith couples be allowed to marry each other? Most churches will follow the doctrine and say no. They would say that you need to preserve your faith and marry a partner who is part of your faith. They would tell you that the differences of belief will eventually destroy th relationship. The church would also tell you that when it comes to an interfaith marriage it will confuse your children, they will not know whether mommy's religion or daddy's religion is the right one.

Going off of this information, there are many questions left unanswered. Why is it that the same bible that says marry within the Christian faith also states in the old testament that God would have women marry outside the faith to conform their spouse into the Christian faith. The same bible tells you to spread the word of God to the non-believers. It says that the non-believers shall burn in Hell if they do not accept God.

Of course this is the same book that holds the Ten Commandments in it. In the Ten Commandments it states that thou shalt not kill. Many times the Christians have broke this commandment by either fighting in wars or killing in the name of God. Then people will use the excuse of if we confess our sins and accept him into our heart he will forgive us of the murders. I am sorry, but it does not say that God will forgive you for murdering someone because you sit in a box on a Saturday and confess your sins. If the Ten Commandments are supposed to be followed, then they should be followed all the time not just when one feels like it is beneficial to them.

With the interfaith marriages, the church does turn their nose up at the idea. Though the two people are in love with one another the church wants nothing to do with the union. Is that by God's choice or man? That is only known by God, himself. I am myself about to marry a Christian man who is true to the bible. He does not go to church on Sunday. Though, I am sure if you read the entire bible it does not have an eleventh commandment that says you have to attend church services. He is a wonderful and loving person. We are having a non-denominational court house wedding.

He has been condemned by many Christian friends of his for the wedding. I, myself, am Wiccan. I have been involved in Wicca for about 10 years now. I met my fiance about 7 years ago. We were great friend the majority of the time we have known each other . Both him and I are very strong in our belief. We both practice the holidays for each of our beliefs. I will say that it does take quite a bit of work for an interfaith marriage to work. Him and I have both had many tests of our commitment to each other. We do both get told that the idea of him marrying outside his faith is a bad one. We love each other, and we are willing to put up with other people's words against that.
