Is it a sin to fall in love with a Muslim as a Christian?

[Anonymous]

I'm not talking about dating, but literally falling in love.

[hahahmm]

No, but there will be problems when it comes to later on if you get married/have kids. And clashes between family differences (relatives).

You should not make decisions with only immediate enjoyment/pleasure/gain in mind. You should think of the long term.

When you are young the idea of family's not getting along may not sound like a big deal but it's a huge deal. When you get married you are literally joining families.

What if I know all this and chose to detach myself and keep walking on the narrow path, but I still have the love in my heart.

Do you think it's foolish to think that there might be hope and God could move mountains?

[hahahmm]

The problem when you keep love in your heart like that is it will keep you from being available to/noticing when a guy who is a better choice comes along. "God could move mountains", sure. But will he? Just because we wish something doesn't mean it will happen *especially* when what we want involves the free will of another person (like this guy you are talking about). God is not going to force that person to change for you.

But let's say you decide to move on... you could also find a non-muslim who is a very bad choice. So be careful either way.

@hahahmm 👍👍👍
BEST explanation. 100% agreed.

Falling in love with anyone is not a sin in any religion. What matters is what does you religion say about acting upon that feeling.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Not necessarily a sin, we Christians shouldn't be with non believers.

God prohibits such.

[zebronics]

Pre marital or extra marital affairs are not permissible in any religion.

I say as a muslim no it is not

[Asker]

I know that from a Muslim perspective it's ok to even marry a Christian, but from a Christian perspective it's not.

[AngelaTrump0]

i don't know about it

Muslim girl CANNOT marry a non Muslim man.
Muslim man CAN marry a Christian or a Jewish woman of good character (by that it means she follows her religion's commandments and has kept herself chaste).

[Asker]

@HaveNoName Christian man and woman cannot marry a muslim or any other religion, because of spiritual reasons and not physical and based on gender, since we both have an equal soul before God.

[HaveNoName]

I am speaking from perspective of Islamic law. Unfortunately, your statement is 100% inaccurate. I will not say Christian Law because they do not follow any law. Practicing Jewish people do.
