Here is my "dilemma"...

I think that's absolutely beautiful! 당신 can't help who 당신 love. Personal opinion says try dating, and see if 당신 two can work out your religious differences together.

However, I do know that some Christians have a problem with cross-faith relationships. That's not just Catholics and Muslims, but also any Christian in a relationship with a Jew, Hindu, Buddhist, 또는 even Atheist. Sometimes, Christians have issues with inter-denominational relationships (like a Catholic dating a Protestant, 또는 even a Methodist dating a Baptist).

I won't be any help because I do not know what the Bible says on these sort of relationships. If it helps, I do know the Muslims have deep respect for "People of the Book," which includes Christians.

But I understand your concerns. 당신 have romantic feelings, but 당신 don't want to betray your faith. It's a very interesting and loaded 질문 you've asked here. And despite all I know about religion, I don't feel quite qualified to answer this, especially because my bias is showing through. I believe that 사랑 is 사랑 is love, and so long as 당신 can make it work, it doesn't matter who 당신 fall in 사랑 with. But, like I said, that's personal opinion.

I think it also depends on how conservative a Christian 당신 are. 더 많이 conservative Christians are at least skeptical, if not disapproving, of cross-faith relationships. But I also know several who make it work. So long as 당신 don't mind if he keeps his religion, and he doesn't mind if 당신 keep yours. Cross-faith relationships can sometimes be considered "OK" if one 또는 the other converts.

How devout is this boy in his Muslim beliefs? How devout are 당신 in yours? Forgetting other people, would it bother you, in the long run, that he's Muslim and not Christian? Would it bother him that you're Christian and not Muslim? These are important questions, because if it does, your relationship probably won't work out. But if neither of 당신 care about that too much, then it may be a good relationship.

Go for it.

I've known a couple other Christian girls who were worried because they had non-Christian boyfriends. So you're certainly not alone in your "dilemma". And the fact that you're concerned about this shows that 당신 want to make sure you're living in a way that pleases God. That's a very good thing. :-)

I'm not a relationship expert 의해 any means, but here's what I think about it.

당신 mentioned that "Christians and Muslims don't really get it on together." While that might be true to some extent, the fact that he's Muslim shouldn't hinder 당신 from being a friend to him 또는 showing him love. God's 사랑 is for EVERYONE, regardless of who they are, where they come from 또는 what they believe. "Shunning the unbelievers" is something that a cult does...NOT what we do. If 당신 two like being together and if 당신 "rub off" on each other in good ways, that's awesome. Don't let differing views destroy something good. "As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend." --Proverbs 27:17

Having said that, it's extremely important to be wise in these situations and use all the discernment the Holy Spirit gives you. If you're truly in 사랑 with this guy and want to take things to a deeper level, caution is strongly advised. If 당신 aren't careful, this relationship could cause 당신 to stumble in your walk with God.

2 Corinthians 6:14 says,"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers." That doesn't mean that relationships with people of other faiths are sinful, per say, 또는 that 당신 should never fall in 사랑 with a non-believer...but it's usually not smart, either. There's a reason why "missionary dating" is generally discouraged.

Imagine 당신 are standing on a chair, and the Muslim boy 당신 사랑 is standing on the ground. Which would be easier? Pulling him up, 또는 being pulled down 의해 him? That's how it often is in a Christian/non-Christian 사랑 relationship. My dad's seen it time and time again. Things may seem alright at first, but as time goes on, your differing paths to God could either tear the relationship in two, 또는 it could cause 당신 to be pulled away from Him. ("Could" being the key word, here. Relationships like these aren't ALWAYS doomed to fail, lol. If 당신 make it work, 더 많이 power to ya.)

God doesn't want to lose you. He loves 당신 so much, and He wants 당신 to 사랑 Him back and find joy in everything 당신 do. If 당신 nurture your relationship with Him and get to truly know Him, you'll find that He's better than any boyfriend 당신 could ever find. ^__^ I highly suggest that 당신 plan a "date" with Him sometime and talk to Him about it. He's knows exactly what's in your heart. Ask Him how to handle your feelings and which direction 당신 should take. Be sure to really listen to Him and stay in tune with those little "nudges" the Holy Spirit gives you. When you're following the 조언 of the Ultimate Matchmaker, there's no way 당신 could go wrong. ;-)

(Wow. I really ramble a lot...)

If 당신 사랑 him, than be with him. If it doesn’t bother either of you, then don’t worry, especially don’t worry about what other people think. When the 일 is done, we all believe in God.
