Did I say cannot be friends?
what I am trying to point to you is that, your question is
bordering into OOT, the Threadstarter is talking about marriage,
not just befriending so simple
if its just the question is about befriending, there is no problem,
but this is not what the threadstarter is interested about. what is
being asked is about christian marrying a non-christian, and this
brought out a whole new set of questions like
Can two person with differing and even conflicting ideals live
together as husband and wife?
Will their love be great enough for one of them to give up his/her
ideals for the other? or both also give up?
....etc
all these issues and questions need to be addressed if marriage is
to occur, while if its just befriending, there is no need to
address them.
*** anyway, you may want to go to the previous thread and look at
the discussion there... no point for me to repeat them here.
