Answer:
the whole idea of marrying (i wouldn't say date) someone who's the same nationality and religion with you is to avoid future problems, different of vision and beliefs,culture, etc. It's like the easy way out since both parties know the culture well.
I think it depends on whether or not the relationship is going somewhere such as marriage. But, when you're young, you might wanna see what's in store. It would open up your views on the importance of a romantic relationship.
I'm a catholic, so i don't know if it's a sin for christians to date someone who's not christian. My fiance is a buddhist, so far both families doesn't mind. It upset my parents a little bit, but knowing him as a person outside the religion, made them understand why i chose him.
But we do have some arrangements on how to lead our life when we get married.
Answer:
ok here we go...
let's put first things first... you're a christian so you have to abide by the rules written in the bible right? well, i'm not really 100% sure whether i'm going to agree to this or not... but here's my answer, i can only conclude what our purpose is in our life as a christian... and that is to glorify GOD, we were created for the sole purpose of glorifying HIM, the best way to judge our deeds whether we are on the right track as christians, i would say can be summed up into this...
i know some couple, who at the time when they got married, the husband is not a christian, and the wife is a christian, but after long years of being together, going thru hardships and prayers, the wife was able to bring her husband to Christ... looking at this example, God used the wife as a tool to bring the husband to Christ. Im not saying that this example is applicable to everybody, i just want to show you that we choose our destiny, whatever we choose, we can always ask GOD for guidance... but remember, you should always be ready to face all the consequences with whatever choices you made.
so going back to our topic, if you think that being together with that guy will change the perspective of other people towards you as a christian, i suggest you stop doing it. Since you're fully aware that your parents will not be happy with it, and yet you still do it, people from the same community, knowing that you're a christian, may criticize your action and worst, it might even criticize christianity as well, in doing so, you didn't glorify GOD. A relationship is good if it brings you closer to God...
anyway, everything i said here is just based on a christian's perspective to having relationship, as i mentioned earlier, it will be up to you to decide, provided that you will be ready to face the consequences whether good or bad... if i were you, i'll pray earnestly, consult local church guidance counsellor or pastor, and close friends as well.
God bless

Answer:
manhattan!!! where u hear that rule from, it may become a bother in the future like marrying but religion does not have rules saying you cant date a certain person. age difference really doesnt matter anymore. if you think it can work out, it can work out then. but if you let other people tell you it is wrong, and you care about what they say, then don't do it. simple solution this is. parents don't have to know that you are going out with him.
Answer:
are you marrying this guy? if not, then do whatever you want.
one of my friends is a christian and trust me, she does a hell lot more things that she shouldn't do and she still goes to church and teaches sunday school...her parents want her to marry a christian korean as well, but she's had a relationship with someone who's not christian (nor korean)...and i won't go into details...
but that's the gist of things. if you're not marrying this mexican guy, then it doesn't matter.
