Christians... Is it wrong to knowingly be involved in a relationship with someone not christian?

no

Dangerous course to take = unless the Lord builds a house, they labor in vain that build it.

i am going to guess...no?

The person is important, but perhaps you could call this pastor for advice,...

If you are a sincere Christian, you should not tie your wagon to a horse going a whole different direction. Even flirting with a romance is pretty much guaranteed to end bad. You will either break up or will end in deep conflict if you are serious about your beliefs.

Follow your conscience.

A biblical case for dating in the first place cannot be made. Look at Samson, it didn't work out to good for him.
Here's the scripture that comes to mind.

2Co 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

thanks :) that's the verse i was thinking of...

it's just really bothering me... somehow i feel like God brought him to me to at least help him in some way, because he's really lost. i believe there's a reason we met. like i could put some kind of goodness into his life... not saying he's bad... just troubled. i just can't bring myself to just tell him that he's a bad person because he's not, and if i want to somehow mention christianity to him i wanna do it in the right way, not to run him off or force it on him. i mean i can tell he has a good heart, and he's so sweet, and he cares about me. and i'm just struggling internally with deciding to stay with him or leave him because he's not christian. do you think there's anyway to help him? i'm really strong in my faith so i'm not worried about him pulling me away from it, i just wish i could help him, but i know it hardly ever works to try to change someone. i know God would want me to attempt to help him because i see him struggling and lost... i can't just let him walk out of my life knowing i had no effect on him or didn't try to help him. it's a bad situation... :(

You have an excellent attitude and heart. I'm impressed that you seem to understand the realities involved despite your best intentions. That's wise.

Blessings!

thank you :) i'm trying my best to do what i know is right... it's just a struggle with how to handle a touchy situation like being in a relationship with someone with different religious views... i just don't want to turn him away from all christians. and he's not a bad person by any means... my preacher said it well the other night, "there are a lot of good people in hell". no doubt... and most of them are people who were lost, like him, and lost their faith because they got involved with the wrong people or what not. it really hurts my heart. thanks for your response... and god bless :)

Religion shouldn't dictate the bounds of your love (or even like). It's irrelevant.

Nonsense. It takes more than 'love' to be compatible. You cannot separate core beliefs from compatibility.

If you have no core beliefs, then you can make that sort of statement.

In a word,... "Hogwash",..

That's a baseless assertion offered with no argument or reason.

Who should anyone care that you disagree when your disagreement is baseless?

Oh, sorry, what I meant to say was that if they exhibit tendancies toward being a devote Mormon, Muslim, Christian, Jew, Buddist, Scientologist, or any religion, RUN AWAY!

No but you are too young to be really involved with someone so keep it "casual". :-)

no

really? what's your opinion on it?

Jesus' Mom and Dad were Jewish I have a best friend who is a non believer

thanks :)

That's very bad advice from one who should know better.

You do of course realize that Jesus was Jewish too,.... oops.

Of course Jesus was Jewish. So what?

You need an argument for why someone who follows Jesus should get romantically involved with someone who doesn't follow Christ.

You have no argument. You don't believe so it matters nothing to you.

Sure it matters, especially when an obnoxious jerk like you is trashing everyones advice to the girl. Life is difficult enough for a young girl without people like you throwing your own twisted version of religion in their faces.

The girl needs the truth - not a load of politically correct bologna from Atheist / Agnostics who don't serve anything higher than themselves.

And Sister Jean falls into that category where?

You saw my response to Sister Jean. She should know better - if she is authentic. It's no secret Sister Jean is a leftist constantly at odds with her Catholic faith on abortion etc.

Now why don't you deal honestly with the fact that the vast majority were Atheist / Agnostic? Why do you ignore the rule and point out the exception?

Dishonesty sucks. Yours is no exception

Nothing ever dishonest in any of my statements, unlike some people who just use religion as an excuse for being nasty to others.

Yes, you were dishonest. You ignored the fact that, besides Sister Jean, only the Atheists and Agnostics approved.
You tried to make the exception the rule and ignored the truth.

Now beat it.

Thanks for proving my point about religionist being nasty,.

Great stuff....if you only had a point.
