LMFAO!


you are a stinking liar.

now you are reversing my accusation on me abi? grin

I just pointed out the way you think. the fact that you deliberatly capitalize words such as "christianity" or "jesus" , but fail to do so, when it comes to "Gods". just in order to belittle them.

Im not new to these tricks.


you are a damned man-worshipper for all I know.

and a narrow religious fanatic at that im sure.


the typical christian fanatic (these days) wont go around blowing people up.

but he tries his best to use other forms of subtle base trickery to gain converts.
Arguing with people like you is pointless.All i can do is pray.

PAGAN 9JA:


Dude im speaking from the perspective of a Nigerian and a Tribal.

Tribe comes before these (foreign religions), ESPECIALLY when we are talking about marriage.


The sons and daughters of Oduduwa have the right to marry each other.

The sons and daughters of Bayanjidda have the right to marry each other.

The sons and daughters of Eri have the right to marry each other.


No jesus or muhammad who were born yesterday has the RIGHT to create rifts between our people, when our tribes and customs predate the birth of even these abrahamists grand papa.

If you are of the same blood, no external force has the RIGHT to prevent you from marrying each other.

arcbabe: If that is where your heart belong,why not? Marry him if you truly love each other.
My sister, happy marriage is more than just love. Many who claimed to love each other before marriage have discovered this truth though late. This is a spiritual matter and should not be joked with. The Bible never made any mistake when it said do not unequally yoke with an unbeliever. No serious Christian, male or female would try it.

[quote author=martronilla]. I thank ALLAH for HIS plenteousness mercy on me as a MUSLIM. Certainly anyone who are guided by ALLAH no one can turn him astray, also anyone misguide by ALLAH no one can guide him. Though i am not replying on ur implish comment, rather i just went to bring the fulltext of (chp 4:verse 34)in the holy Qur'an dt u cut a small piece without completing it, just to mislead people and most of ur comment are misleading. The verse "Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because ALLAH has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend(to support them) from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient(to ALLAH and to their husbands), and guard in the husband's absence what ALLAH orders them to guard(e.g their chastity,their husband's property, etc.). As those women on whose part you see illconduct, admonish them(first),(next), refuse to share their bed,(and last) beat them(lightly, if it is useful),but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means(of annoyance).Surely, ALLAH is Ever Mosu High, Most Great. ". And when we talk about right there is no religion in the world that respect women morethan ISLAM,dt is why the religion prohibited adultery(sex before marrage), but most of ur men of God rape,and claiming it is a prayer dt the are offering. U are alway exposing ur women, like environmental butterfly with mini skeet is dt what christ tech ? U are married and u have girl/boyfriend is that and equity or human right advocacy ?. On issue of marrage ISLAM allow men to marry ur women because Muslim belief Jesus christ is aprophet and massenger of GOD(ALLAH). I why ISLAM disallow muslim women to marry christian is dt U did belief Muhammad(S.A.W) is a prophet and massenger of ALLAH.And dt belief means alot. I don't why u comment wt u dnt knw,even d christianity that u claim u are following, it is wt suit u dt u are following, dt is why ur comment shows u are always waiting 4new testiment,whr did ur pastor seen strange so dt to correct GOD message.

martronilla: A Muslim man is allowed to marry a Christian
woman, but a Christian man is not permitted
to marry a Muslim woman.
I remember hearing an interview on the
radio with a Muslim, a few years ago. As the
interview began, the host asked the Muslim
guest whether he was married. He replied
that Islam is so open and tolerant that he is
married to a Christian. Islam means equality
and no discrimination.
However, the quick-minded interviewer
asked him if Islam allows a Jewish man or a
Christian man to marry a Muslim woman.
The guest’s enthusiasm dropped a little. He
had to concede that Islam does not allow
this. The radio host pressed home the point,
saying that the guest’s first statement was a
little misleading, wasn’t it? They argued for a
moment or two. Then, if I recall correctly, the
radio host sensed his guest’s unease and
changed the subject.
A short article from a Muslim website,
representing many others, says about
religiously mixed marriages:
It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to
marry a non-Muslim man.
It is permissible for a Muslim man to marry a
Christian/Jewish woman strictly under these
two conditions:
1. She is a true Christian/Jew – not by
name and/or ancestral background.
2. She did not renegade from Islam and
become a Christian/Jew.
Why is marriage allowed in only one
direction? Maybe seventh-century Arab
culture will answer this question. Perhaps
the Quran itself does not honor women,
married or not.
What does the New Testament say on the
matter?
The Quran
For the historical and literary topical context
of this next sura (chapter), please click here.
The Quran in Sura 5:5 says:
. . . Likewise you are permitted to marry
chaste believing women [Muslims] or chaste
women among the people who were given
the Scripture [Jews and Christians] . . . .
(Maududi, vol. 1, p. 427)
This verse, as noted, says that Islam permits
Muslim men to marry non-Muslim women
who are Christians and Jews, but a Jewish
or Christian man may not marry a Muslim
woman. (In this article I will address only the
Christian community.) What is the rationale
behind the ruling?
Beyond any doubt, Islam is patriarchal, so a
Muslim man must have final control in the
relationship. For example, Sura 4:34 says
that a husband may hit his wife, but no
verse in the Quran says a wife may hit her
husband—as if domestic violence in any
form is acceptable.
It may be true that Muhammad at first
respected Judaism and Christianity, but he
turned against them later on in his life, as
seen in this article and this one. So this
means that in seventh-century Arab culture
a Muslim man may dominate his wife or
wives, but not a Christian man who would
dominate his Muslim wife.
Islam allegedly is the best and final religion
for all humankind, and the Muslim man may
convert his submissive wife. Perhaps in
Muhammad’s mind no woman could ever
convert a Muslim man, if he is a
traditionalist. Today, this is especially true if
he comes from a hard line region in an
Islamic country or a hard line Muslim family.
Therefore, Christian women must be careful
about marrying Muslim men. Islam does not
give the same rights to women as it does to
men. In fact, the Quran clearly says that
women are inferior to men.
Further, to be blunt, but also factual, Islam
generally is a cruel and harsh slave-master.
This article shows that Muslim men are
permitted to have sex with their slave-girls.
This article gives the top ten reasons why
Islam is not the religion of peace. And this
article offers the top ten reasons why
Islamic law is bloody and excessive—six
hundred years after Jesus showed us a
better way. Finally, this article gives the top
ten rules in the Quran that oppress and
insult women. Islam, as the whole world
knows by many, many reports, does not
honor women.
Therefore, Christians must not trade in the
eternal Son of God who sets people free
today and offers the love of God, for a
human and mortal messenger Muhammad
(Suras 3:144; 39:30; 41:4), who is too often
cruel and harsh and misogynistic. Islam
does not honor women.
If a Christian woman marries a Muslim, but
holds on to her beliefs, such as the Sonship
and Lordship of Christ, then ipso facto she
holds on to a false belief and may be
considered a "heretic" or an "infidel," if the
Quran and traditional Islamic theology are
followed consistently.
Also, would the children be Muslims or
Christians, or secular? The answer is clear, if
Islam is followed consistently.
What kind of marriage would this be?
Where is the spiritual connection and
agreement between husband and wife and
God?
The New Testament
The New Testament starts the soon-to-be
married couple on an equal footing in the
selection of a mate.
The New Testament in 1 Corinthians 7:39
says that a Christian woman may marry only
a Christian man (and vice-versa) (see also 2
Corinthians 6:14-18). At first glance, this
divine counsel seems too restrictive, but
looked at more deeply, it demonstrates a lot
of wisdom. If a married couple starts their
walk together with the same faith and
theology, then this takes the pressure off of
possibly converting the partner to the
other’s faith. One partner does not have to
"evangelize" the other partner. Neither
partner starts off as an "infidel" or "heretic."
In Biblical Christianity, the man and the
woman must have a deep, spiritual
relationship with Jesus Christ, individually,
through the power of the Holy Spirit before
they become one flesh in marriage. This
means their spiritual intimacy with the Lord
will be shared in the couple’s own intimacy
with each other.
Also, this true spiritual equality takes away
any patriarchy. The woman already agrees
with the husband in matters of religion, so
what need does he have to control the
relationship and lay down religious law?
In a way, Islam acknowledges this
restriction when it forbids a Muslim from
marrying a polytheist or idolater (Sura
2:221). They are too far apart theologically.
Likewise, though neither religion is
polytheistic, Islam and Christianity are too
far apart theologically and spiritually, notably
in Muhammad’s denial of the Sonship of
Jesus Christ, an essential, non-negotiable
doctrine in Christianity. Islam wrongly
demotes Jesus to a mere prophet. The New
Testament everywhere affirms the Sonship
of Christ.
On a heart-felt level, the Muslim does not
receive the Holy Spirit because he does not
receive Christ as Savior and Lord. In fact,
Islamic theology erroneously reduces the
Holy Spirit to the angel Gabriel. This means
that a marriage between a Muslim and a
Christian would be unequal. And this is risky
for the Christian, since she would be most
vulnerable to a particularly strong patriarchy
that may rear its ugly head later on in the
marriage.
Remember, the Quran gives permission to
husbands to hit their wives if the husbands
merely fear high handedness or rebellion in
their wives (Sura 4:34).
Besides this practical reason, if a Christian
understands the New Testament, then he or
she must not marry a Muslim, for spiritual
and theological reasons.
A Christian couple must keep spiritual unity.
They must raise their children in spiritual
harmony, as followers of Christ.
u re right they most raise there child in a spiritual way nd to me, christian lady that marry muslim guy is on the wrong track cus the islam marriage law encourage wife beating in surah 4:34, nd encourage cheating for example if there is issue of adultery between two party, the law of islam is to prosecute the woman only nd leave the man be free. it also permit them to marry as much as they want marry

mysticdollar: Is it right for a muslim lady to marry a christian and still be praying and fasting to me is bad cos when u marry a christian u automatically become a christian so far you make love with your hubby right or wrong.

Please really need ur opinions

You can marry anyone you want; it's your life.

But Islam proscribes a Muslim woman from marrying any man who is not Muslim.

Of course, people make their own choices and live with the consequence(s), good or bad.

There is no compulsion.

Hmmm deols everywhere
I am sure that lady wears a niqab with gloves and socks that makes little children hide under mummy's wrapper when they see her grin

Handsomeemmy: My aunt a christian got married to a muslim and the family lived peacefully and the children choose christianity.

If this topic was to be in the islam section, many people would've been ban, i am not a fanatics, i am a christian not just by name, i believe That Jesus died for me at calvary, i have good muslim friends and even extended family members.

But those mods in the islamic section are little terrorist, intolerant set of people that think they can fight for God by banning people, God has been fighting his battle by himself from time immemorial, He doesn't need you to fight for him when someone insult him, most of you(Mods)in the islamic section just intolerant.

Especially that Deols of a lady, i was banned for asking a simple question, i didn't not insult anyone or anybody, i am not crazy to insult God or any prophet you serve but you chose to banned me till 2014 for your intolerant attitude.

I pray that God will forgive and give you the spirit of tolerance.

Seun, this is a public forum, and most public forum only Ban people if they threathen others with Death, Rape and others. Work on your Mods in Islam section.

I wish i can see Deols face to face and tell her my mind.

P:S You will hardly see them commenting on this moderate thread because they don't have power to ban here.

(Suras 3:144; 39:30; 41:4), who is too often
cruel and harsh and misogynistic. Islam
does not honor women.
If a Christian woman marries a Muslim, but
holds on to her beliefs, such as the Sonship
and Lordship of Christ, then ipso facto she
holds on to a false belief and may be
considered a "heretic" or an "infidel," if the
Quran and traditional Islamic theology are
followed consistently.
Also, would the children be Muslims or
Christians, or secular? The answer is clear, if
Islam is followed consistently.
What kind of marriage would this be?
Where is the spiritual connection and
agreement between husband and wife and
God?
The New Testament
The New Testament starts the soon-to-be
married couple on an equal footing in the
selection of a mate.
The New Testament in 1 Corinthians 7:39
says that a Christian woman may marry only
a Christian man (and vice-versa) (see also 2
Corinthians 6:14-18). At first glance, this
divine counsel seems too restrictive, but
looked at more deeply, it demonstrates a lot
of wisdom. If a married couple starts their
walk together with the same faith and
theology, then this takes the pressure off of
possibly converting the partner to the
other’s faith. One partner does not have to
"evangelize" the other partner. Neither
partner starts off as an "infidel" or "heretic."
In Biblical Christianity, the man and the
woman must have a deep, spiritual
relationship with Jesus Christ, individually,
through the power of the Holy Spirit before
they become one flesh in marriage. This
means their spiritual intimacy with the Lord
will be shared in the couple’s own intimacy
with each other.
Also, this true spiritual equality takes away
any patriarchy. The woman already agrees
with the husband in matters of religion, so
what need does he have to control the
relationship and lay down religious law?
In a way, Islam acknowledges this
restriction when it forbids a Muslim from
marrying a polytheist or idolater (Sura
2:221). They are too far apart theologically.
Likewise, though neither religion is
polytheistic, Islam and Christianity are too
far apart theologically and spiritually, notably
in Muhammad’s denial of the Sonship of
Jesus Christ, an essential, non-negotiable
doctrine in Christianity. Islam wrongly
demotes Jesus to a mere prophet. The New
Testament everywhere affirms the Sonship
of Christ.
On a heart-felt level, the Muslim does not
receive the Holy Spirit because he does not
receive Christ as Savior and Lord. In fact,
Islamic theology erroneously reduces the
Holy Spirit to the angel Gabriel. This means
that a marriage between a Muslim and a
Christian would be unequal. And this is risky
for the Christian, since she would be most
vulnerable to a particularly strong patriarchy
that may rear its ugly head later on in the
marriage.
Remember, the Quran gives permission to
husbands to hit their wives if the husbands
merely fear high handedness or rebellion in
their wives (Sura 4:34).
Besides this practical reason, if a Christian
understands the New Testament, then he or
she must not marry a Muslim, for spiritual
and theological reasons.
A Christian couple must keep spiritual unity.
They must raise their children in spiritual
harmony, as followers of Christ.

Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?

Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, “I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you,

For the unbelieving husband is made holy because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife is made holy because of her husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy. But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not enslaved. God has called you to peace. For how do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife? so am a bit confused i don't know weather is allowed or not

Mintayo:
you have said it all.
No Bible believing christain will ever try it.
Christainity is not a religio where you marry someone to convert him/her,when you are not a converter.
There is a Spirit in every born again christain that will not allow that.
what you means as muslim you must believe in jesus, love him, respect him, dress like him, eat like him and when you said any bad thing about jesus automatically you are not more a muslim, as you all when a woman married she join her husband family even france the most liberal country in the world woman join her husband family by changing her name, so if a christian woman married into a muslim family, she is actually marrying into a family that love her GOD so jesus will never being disrespected in her present or absent , her religion book the bible will be respect but the other way around a muslim marrying into a christian family her god, prophets and her religion book will not be respected because am not saying christian are bad but is really hard to respect what you hate and don't believe in
Re: Is It Good For A Muslim Lady To Marry A Christian by abbakacici: 2:29am On Nov 30, 2013
in summary you can married a christian woman

As stated previously, Islam has allowed Muslim men to marry women from the people of the book (ahl al-Kitab). This permission is explicitly mentioned in the verse of the quran

Firstly, the exception of Christian and Jewish girls is because the difference in belief between the people of the book and Muslims is relatively lesser and lighter as compared with other non-Muslims. They are all monotheistic religions and known as the Abrahamic faiths. The basic difference between Islam and the other two religions is the belief in the last Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace). Therefore, the fear and danger of corruptibility is less as compared to marrying with women from other faiths, thus Islam gave this permission for Muslim men to marry Christian and Jewish girls

but this condition must be made
the women must not be a Christians or Jews merely by name, and do not really believe in any religion, like a large number of people in the west, cannot be termed as people of the book that means a practicing christian that is she is not a christian by the minim requirement that modern posters are given that is just believe jeux is your saviour and you are good to go and you can do weather ever you feel like doing so she must be following the rules and regulation of the bible in short the woman must be truly a believing Christian

the marriage contract should performed according to Islam before the children born out of this wedlock will be considered legitimate.( here is easy that her father or brother or grand father or uncle or son must be present and they should have at least 3 witness to the marriage and if the husband has money she should give her some gifts )

third she must never happen sex outside marriage
fourth they must leave in muslim majority society
five he must be a very knowledgable muslim
