My boyfriend is Muslim and he is making me doubt my faith...

[Dave G.]

I just don't understand why so many people believe in it if it is so evil - Islam I mean.

Because they are deceived.

It's not just Islam, I believe we are living in the time where great deception is spreading out across the land from anything spiritual but Jesus. A time or the beginning there of where scripture says even the saints would be deceived if that were possible. Don't be a casualty of that, get back to Jesus Christ.

 

[Ken C.]

I thought I was strong enough to help bring him to Christ but the opposite happened.. he was very judging and sad very mean things about my God..

I'm glad you at least tried to introduce him to God, Muslims need God's Love too. You have done what was required. I know this is hard for you but at this point, take the advice of others that have responded and cut ties with him. But do one more thing: Pray to the Lord of the harvest and ask Him to send laborers across his path.

ps: allow the peace of our Lord to flow out of your spirit.

Do not look to the masses for what is "holy" or what is "evil".

The world was drowned because the masses took part in evil.

The world delights in its perverse and evil ways. That is why the world hated Christ. He brought light and righteousness into a dark and wicked world that wanted to remain in darkness.

The reason why anything other than the truth of Christ is because this world is deceived because they do not love truth.

As people have said you must get away from this man, his beliefs and return to Christ with your heart and prayers.

I do not make light of your situation sister, but you have now experienced first hand one more truth that was spoken of in 2 Corinthians 6:14 in the dangers of being unequally yolked.

It isnt that muslims or others that believe something other than Christ are "bad people" it is that they follow a deception that you too could fall into.

Because they are deceived.

Oppressed people like to rally around that that gives them permission to lash out. Doing so in the name of God involves all religions including Christianity. Peaceful religions (if there are truly any) are just that and do not appeal to those who are aggressive. Muslims have been slaughtering rival denominations for 1500 years. Baha'i broke away from Islam 150 yrs ago to become a peaceful religion. Ask them what islam thinks of them, let alone Christianity. It's all a game of rivalry using God as the weapon. Serves no purpose but to man because few change to suit the will of God, preferring to use Him to fulfil their own wishes..

Thank you so much for explaining

When I was in my late 20s, I hit it off with this ridiculously smart and beautiful woman likewise in her 20s. She could have been a model, she was 5'9" and gorgeous with curves that should have been illegal.

For whatever reason she liked me, we started talking, went out on a couple of dates, everything was moving right along until she confessed to me that she was a Jehovah Witness. I believe that that faith is incompatible with mine. So I immediately ended our relationship...

There is this myth perpetuated by Hollywood and all the Rom-Coms and Songs etc that love conquers all. No, no it does not.

The reality is that love does NOT conquer all and falling in love with someone you are incompatible with is not only foolish, it is dangerous.

Yes, there are matters of faith and belief that are incompatible. If you are an anti-vaxxer and refuse to have your children vaccinated then there is no way I could ever marry you. Period. That is a no go. If you are a pagan wiccan type and believe in casting spells etc then no, sorry, we can't get married. If you are Muslim and then again, we can't get married.

Now, we can be friends, sure... but never marriage.

If you are Christian and serious about your Christianity then you need to marry a Christian. Maybe, maybe you can get by with an agnostic person who doesn't mind you being Christian and has agreed to let you raise the children as Christian... but seriously... you can't be Christian and marry a Muslim or vice versa. that is just asking for drama and trouble.

Sorry, love does not conquer all. Sometimes in life, your head has to overrule your heart or even better, prevent yourself from getting into sticky situations in the first place.

 

[Pavel Mosko]

He didn't bring me closer to Islam..

And thank God for that! Leave him and don't look back. I think you could benefit from watching Nabeel Qureshi a devout Muslim who converted to Christianity. You should also look to going back to church.

 

[Basil the Great]

Mixed marriages can work, but it is difficult and requires that each party respect each other and each other's faith. Another potential problem is how will the children be raised.

I disagree with some who might say that it is always wrong for a Christian to marry a Muslim or a Jew. Obviously, the ideal situation is to marry someone who shares your faith, but circumstances sometimes might make such extremely difficult, especially in a country with a small Christian population. Trust in the Lord, that He will guide your steps. Peace be with you.

A month or so ago I was talking about a Muslim friend that I am very in love with... we ended up becoming a couple with the intention of marrying and out love grew deeper. But the problem is our different religions... I'm a Christian and he is a Muslim. For weeks and months he tried to convert me. I've watch hundreds of videos about his faith with him and he always debated and argued and now.. I'm lost. He didn't bring me closer to Islam.. and only brought be farther away from Christianity and now I'm lost.. I'm scared that I will go to hell and.. we have broken up and tried to leave the toxic relationship but we always come back because we love eachother so much... I can't let go and I don't know what to do.. I'm scared and lost and I don't believe in anything anymore. I haven't prayed and weeks and I'm scared...

After reading what you wrote sister the main message I got from what you wrote is this:

Islam------------Nika Yermakova------------Christianity

You are stuck in the middle and not sure what to do, who to speak to, where to go, when you'll get out of this mess, why you're here, and how you'll get out. But you do know that:

• Christianity and Islam conflict with one another.
• He tried to convert you through debate and argument.
• You're lost and scared.
• The relationship is toxic and you can't seem to leave it.
• You love one another.
• You don't know what to believe in.
• You haven't prayed in weeks.

During chaotic times like this the Enemy is able to get in when you are lost in doubt. Before making decisions about Christianity and Islam get yourself to higher ground so you can breathe and see everything from a bird's eye view. The reason for this is that it is very difficult to see exactly what's going on when you're in the middle of everything therefore your focus becomes skewed:

Focus > Time > Energy > Life

Wherever your focus is determines where you spend your time, energy, and ultimately your life. That being said focus on the Holy Spirit for Christ said that He will guide you into all truth. And because the Holy Spirit will not lead you into error and falsehood you can trust Him fully if you let Him lead your spirit: for where the spirit leads the body will follow. And because the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth, remember the words of Jesus Christ:

"And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free."

In order to know the truth you must be able to see with your eyes and discern with your mind. When you don't know the truth you are in bondage to ignorance: therefore to be free of the darkness call out to the Light which is God and allow His Light to enter into your eyes and your mind and, you shall be free once He reveals the truth to you about what you need to do.

He specifically sought out to undermine her faith, and to throw holes through Jesus Christ Himself. Then was controlling on top of that. This is highly toxic to a believers spiritual well being. I'll leave it at that.

I don't see interfaith marriages with the typical Muslim as being a good idea at all, and I'm fairly liberal generally. It is just a bad idea, especially if you are a woman. They tend to be highly patriarchal and will try to get the woman to convert, that's just the way it is, they view it as their right.

Controlling is in and of itself a very dangerous sign. I would recommend against getting married to anyone who is controlling. Having said that, I do not agree with those who automatically rule out marrying all non-Christians.

It is probably better if a Christian man married a Muslim woman, than for a Christian woman to marry a Muslim man.

It's like Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, when he rebukes his daughter for falling in love with a gentile. "A bird may love a fish, but where could they make a home together?"

In this case, the fish will want the bird to be a fish, and the bird may drown.

As @Monk Brendan said, this is not love, this is loving the idea of being in love.

What will the relationship focus on once the pheromones die down?

LOL, nope

Gentleman, gentleman, the issue here is not about marriage, dating, nor about the controlling issue:

Islam------------Nika Yermakova------------Christianity

Our dear sister is struggling with her faith as it is being called into question. And if you read her responses carefully then you would see that she has issues with depression and used to cut herself in the past. And right now she's struggling to not go back there. Where's the love and encouragement?
