The dorm is empty without all of you here. The rooms are spacious, and we are having meeting tonight to establish how the game room is going to be set up. Those of us left are miss all of you already.
One of my close friends from high school, Kelly, was telling me about what was going on in her life. She is a godly girl that really has a heart to serve and honor God. She is a strong Penecostal. Her church is not one of the extreme Penecostal services with everyone running around, but a passtionate service that involves the normal things for that movement(prophecy primarily) She said that she was going out with a Catholic guy that she knew from college. When she tol.d me I initially had alot of quesitons about if that was right in relation to scripture. I did not tell her there what I was thinking because alot of people had been "giving advice" as she put it, about what they thought of her dating a Catholic. I thought of 1 Corinthians 6:14. That states to not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. I only asked her one quesiton when she told me she was dating someone, "Is he a Christian?" She said she had a discussion with him, and she believes she is definitely saved. Even if he is saved there will be many problems that will be in the relationship, especially when looking at the future(marriage into Catholic church, teaching children, relaitonship with God vs. a priest) Putting all of the difficulties aside my question is this:
What does the Bible say about the marriage of two believers that are of very different denominations?
What would you say to my friend that would not be what others have not already told her?
I look forward to hearing your responses. God Bless.

I have had some inklings of missing out on dorm life the last couple of days. I miss you guys and think about you. I hope you have a good semester.
About this girl - Seriously, the Catholic is not a reservoir of confused Christians. This guy either doesn't know what he's talking about (he's ignorant), or he is deceived, or lying. We'll give this girl the benefit of the doubt and say he's a good guy who's about to emerge out of the Catholic church. kalei ek ho [Catholic] ekklesia.
Either way, try this one. HE needs to be the spiritual leader in their relationship. If he is not saved or confused or deceived or ignorant or wrong she is going to be fighting uphill trying to lead (from her perspective) a Biblical relationship. If the spiritual relationship is a priority, how can she lead when his salvation is questionable (in my opinion) and he is in the least very confused?
