Dating A Mormon

[Rafael]

Right now I am dating a Mormon. I know in the Bible it says to not yolk yourself with unbelievers but is that just meaning marrige or is dating considered yolking?

Being in agreement about who Jesus Christ is would be of great importance, especially if marriage was considered. The best way would be to talk about the differences between the Christian and Mormon view with the person first and to educate yourself and them on the differences. Here are a couple of links that point out some of those major differences.
God bless....

If you look at this logically, maybe God wants you to date a Morman. Maybe, you're supposed to be that person who shows them that Jesus is the only way. Take this for example, my aunt is a Christain and her husband was an atheist, for many of years, then one day he became a Christian just like that, and it was becasue my aunt showed him all the wonders Jesus.

'Missionary dating' is a very bad idea. Be a friend to someone to show them Jesus but don't date them for the purpose of converting them. Dating adds a whole new set of complications and can often make things worse if you end up breaking up with the person. Sure you can find a few examples of times when it has worked like with your aunt, but there are many more examples of times when it doesn't work or even when it works the other way around (the Christian falls away from Christ). And the Mormon religion very strongly encourages its' members to try to get people to convert to Mormonism.

If someone finds themselves a Christian already married to a non-Christian then they should stay with them and hope that they can be an example for the other person and maybe he/she will convert. But if someone isn't yet married then they should do as the Bible says and not become unequally yoked.

All of this supported by Scripture, almost to the letter.

Dating can lead to marraige...so why get involved with them in the first place??

This is a great opportunity for you to show the unconditional love of Christ to all.
Don't fear mormons. Befriend them. Of course, be honest, and up front-- that you're not interested in casual sex nor marriage. I'm sure that would kill the relationship-- but if you're two adults spending time together, there is nothing to be afraid of. Listen to the Mormon's perspective, understand it from their perspective-- so that you can learn and grow.

Remember the path to CHrist is not the path of Fear.
All I'm hearing from the other comments is Yokes and fear.

Look at this as an opportunity to learn and grow.
