I am married to a Muslim ...We will have no children as I am 63 and he is 47...He said to me in the very beginning " Suzy if I ever ask you to become a Muslim divorce me" His reasoning is the As being a born again Christian that is part of ME part of who I am ..He loves me as I am no changing needed or wanted... His chilrdren (who live in Israel) know both ..They have been given the choice to dress as they chose and to believe through intelegeince and knowledge of both ways...Nothing should be forced on another...Be blessed

Religion is so dividing, cant you just raise your child with Love?

Why does there have to be religious rules in place?

There is no right religion, as if there were that would make at least 1/2 of the world totally wrong.

The only thing you should follow is love!! Not a book full of stupid old fashioned , out of date rules, passed on by families, who have no idea, and you feel bound by these, because of family ties.

Wake up think for your self. Move forward

The crux of the matter here is the question of who Jesus is. Jesus was a real historical figure, was really born in Israel and died there. So it's not whether or not he existed at all, but who is he? Many Jews respect Jesus as a good man who was a rabbi and even prophet, as do many Muslims. However, Christians believe that Jesus was and is God incarnate. Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet but that Mohammed was an even greater prophet that came after and superseded Jesus. Conservative Muslims not only lack belief in Jesus as Son of God, but their mission is to convert the world and stamp out infidelity. Jews have a rule that the children follow the religion of the mother, since it is the mother that does early teaching of children, Christians want the children raised to believe that Jesus is really the Son of God, and Muslims want the children raised to believe that Mohemmed is the one closest to God and that Jesus is second in honors as a special prophet.
You must decide how important it is to you to teach your childrent that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life, and if it is important, then 'be not unequally yoked' to a man who will make that a constant struggle.

ohhh and just noticed again that you,, who are already married, and share parentage of a child, can't avoid that struggle now, so it depends on how strongly your mate and his family try to persuade you and the children to believe that Muhammed is greater than Jesus and both prophets.
