Is a person able to love and live with another that has different beliefs?
The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 2:14
Is it possible for someone you love and desire to be with even though they believe in things differently from you?
Interfaith is not a common term used to explain two as one. However, the interface is two junctions that come together to be as one: or at least try to be as one. When it involves a couple, there is an attraction where they come together at some point called middle ground. The only problem is there’s something between them: their belief.
Inner
Beginning
On the inside, we see someone we are attracted to just starting out and never dreamed there could be someone that has all the requirements on our internal checklist.
Middle
Now at this stage which is two months now, nothing has changed. We are enjoying every minute of it. The beautiful texts I receive when I wake up in the morning, the wonderful encounters when we see each other. Talk about our future a little. This relationship gets better and better.
Now
Went to meet up today with my special love and things started like they always do. The nice greeting and I was just feeling so good. I did not want to be anywhere else or do anything else. I Just wanted to stay right there as long as possible with them. Willing to cancel the rest of my agenda. Then as we were conversing something happened that I never thought could ever happen. I could not even imagine. What I heard, what they did just completely turn me off.
outer
Beginning
On the outside, we feel so overwhelmed. Receiving nice gifts, respect, and thoughtful gestures we expect in a new relationship and anxious to see our future blossom.
Middle
When I get home there are nice small gifts in the mail every other week. Nothing big, but beautiful simple things such as flowers, a basket of essentials that have me twirling on my toe. At home, I am smiling so much that I am in awe. It seems too good to be true. It feels like a dream.
Now
My wonderful mate brought me a nice, beautiful-looking snack and my favorite coffee and we sat and ate at the spot in the park with a beautiful view of the ocean. My special love neatly dressed, wonderful job-manger of a big company, very successful, not to mention a great-looking, well-mannered person and I plan on spending the rest of my life with. Then what I saw them doing just made me so upset. I felt so mad inside. I never saw this coming. What am I going to do now?
Conclusion
The issue was religion. She saw Him called unto his God and she is not familiar with that or his religion. The topic never came up until now. He did something that opened up a new dimension where they eventually broke up.
Do you think people should break off there relationship for the sake of religion? End something you can clearly see to continue on with something you cannot see, only believe? Something to think about. What choice would you make? What would you do? What is most important to you?
