2 Corinthians 6:14 *Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness*?
The media makes inter-religious marriage look simple and appealing. That picture they paint is the reason some singles are now giving it a thought but the underlying issues runs deeper.
Satan will only present the "good" aspect of such mixed marriages to you by showing you couples whose marriages are working but he fails to show how that marriage has altered the plan and purpose of God for their lives and generation.
In the old testament, God detested mixed marriages for the Jews. The gentile nations were pagans who worshipped idols while the Jews were custodian of the laws of God.
Deuteronomy 7:3 says, *"You must not intermarry with them. Do not let your daughters and sons marry their sons and daughters*".
*God in his omniscience knew that If two people do not have a shared faith, they cannot have a shared spiritual experience. That is one of the reasons he detested inter-faith marriages right from old testament days till now*.
When the men of Judah abandoned their wives for pagan women in the days of Malachi, God rebuked them sharply.
Malachi 2:14-15 NLT
[14] You cry out, “Why doesn’t the Lord accept my worship?” I’ll tell you why! Because the Lord witnessed the vows you and your wife made when you were young. But you have been unfaithful to her, though she remained your faithful partner, the wife of your marriage vows.
[15] Didn’t the Lord make you one with your wife? In body and spirit you are his. And what does he want? Godly children from your union. So guard your heart; remain loyal to the wife of your youth.
*Marriage between believers is a form of commitment to the perpetuation of God's ways and principles because it is his primary way of producing godly seeds*.
Satan wants to corrupt the next generation through inter faith marriages. Where there is no unity of faith&doctrine between couples, their children becomes confused. Is that what you want?
