hey guys
I've been dating a messianic jew for the past 3 months, she's a totally amazing girl, I go to her synagouge/temple on friday nights, and she comes to my church on sundays and volunteers with me there on tuesdays, but I feel that some of my friends and family members don't really like/approve of her because of the "jewish" thing,

woulld a non-denominational christian and a messianic jew relationship generally lead to more problems?

any advice would be great
thanks. and again, messanic jews have acepted christ as savior, but are more torah/jewish-based than most people, traditons, dietary laws, etc

It probably wouldn't be a problem. If your friends and family don't approve because of that whole "Jewish thing", ask them if they approve of Jesus for that whole "Jewish thing".

If they still have a problem with it, have them read This Book.

It won't cause any problems as long as your both respectful towards each other's beliefs.

My best friend's dad is a devout Catholic, and her mom is a devout Jew and they have been married over 25 years and are both very happy.

Messianic Jews and Christians are just about the same thing. Our beliefs are very similar, so I don't think that you will run into what Paul called, "unequally yoked". You guys seem very plugged into your churches, which is great. If you guys are happy, make the most out of your relationship.

Haha, I am a seventh day adventist, my bf is non denominational- and sda's and MJ have a lot in common! We keep the same dietry laws and we also keep the sabbath.

Esentially, it can certainly work- easily. You just need to respect her beliefs and she respect yours.

Your biggest issue is likely going to be the Sabbath issue. If you were to get married, please consider the consequences of such a thing. Would you have TV on in the house for instance on sabbath? A very basic example but still something to consider.

The following of the sabbath is a total lifestyle change to what you're used to.

Jew + Catholic? Almost as interesting a couple as a Catholic + SDA

by the sabbath, you mean no activities/work from fri-sat night right?
