...outside your faith? For example if you are deeply Jewish would you date a Christian and if you are a Christian would you date/marry a Jew?
I tend to believe that those who are willing or do date outside their faith are not in fact religious, it's all show with no real substance.
 
Be ye not unequally yolk.

Two people who have completely different beliefs. That will never work.
 
I'm a Forn Sed heathen and I married a full Native American who "Walks the Red Road". We're divorced now, but it had nothing to do with faith. It had to do with him being a shiftless, lazy, batshiat insane bastich.

*sigh* Hindsight is always 20/20, isn't it?
 
I am Christian. I have dated more non-Christians than Christians. I married a non-Christian. She came to belief. Yet, I would have loved her no matter her religious inclination. So as two are not chalk and cheese, let them be!

I wouldn't marry a jew that was part of any weird cultic jewish sect. Or any judy that was an adulterator/fornicator.

Neither would I go on a date with such a girl, because such could lead to brash sexual flirting behaviour.
 
I would not date a non-Jew because I am committed to raising a Jewish family with two Jewish role models. I don't want to raise my kids in a dual religion household, I think it's confusing to kids. That said, I will admit that for the interfaith marriage couples I have met, they seem to be doing a fine job and I do not think it has any bearing whatsoever on their amount of faith. It's not for me though.
 
Most guys are willing to marry any woman foolish enough to marry him. Women, on the other hand, tend to be more discerning when it comes to the religious issue.
 
No, I wouldn't and didn't, nor would I advise it.
It causes too many problems, and it goes against what the bible teaches.
Amos 3:3 (King James Version)

3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

This is such a simple little verse, but it makes so much sense.
What it is saying is how can two people walk together (in the same direction) if they are not agreed about where they are going or how to get there. It just isn't possible, if one person wants to go north, and is set on it, and the other wants to go south, and will not change, then they cannot walk together, because they do not agree - they must part ways.

Then the Word of God tells us not to be yoked or attached to unbelievers.
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?
