That has nothing to do with Orthodoxy, but only a person who is a Cohen (that is, a descendant of Aaron) cannot marry a divorcee. Anyone else can.

Only if the old marriage is invalid. If you were a Catholic when you first married, and chose not to marry in the church, this should be easy to prove. A Justice of the Peace Marriage does not a Church Wedding make. Go see your parish priest and begin annulment proceedings. This must be done first.\nGood luck.

Yes. \n\nThe Catholic Church allows marriage between Catholics and non-baptized persons. \n\nThey will have to get permission from the bishop. This is because the Church recognizes the tremendous challenge they have ahead of them.\n\nWith love in Christ.

No. Orthodox faiths only let you marry inside your church. You could try to get him to convert.

if she accepts, GO AND MARRY HERE, what is the problem,,??she does not have to convert,,, at all (marriage for Muslims is a contract without religious ceremony\n\nPeople People, it is allowed for muslims to get married to a christian or Jew  without the need to convert,, This is fact, if any muslim  says different either he is lying or does not know anything about his religion  (Study what u claim u belong to, before asking)

Yeah as long as they don't push their beliefs in each other's faces. Jews and Christians marry. Muslims and Christians marry. Hell Jews and Muslims marry.

this is what the bible says about divorce.\n\n\nDivorce is never permissible.\n    Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery. -- Mark 10:11\n\n    Whosoever putteth away his wife and marrieth another, committeth adultery. -- Luke 16:18\n\nOnly when the wife is unfaithful\n    Whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery. -- Matthew 5:32\n\n    Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery. -- Matthew 19:9\n\nWhen the 'unbelieving' partner chooses to leave\n    But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. -- 1 Corinthinians 7:15\n\nWhen the husband is displeased with his wife\n    When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife. -- Deuteronomy 24:1-2

Unlikely.  Judaism is not  as condemnatory of pre-marital sex and babies born out of wedlock as Christianity is.  In fact, strictly speaking their is no prohibition against pre-marital sex in the Torah, the ban was instituted by later Rabbis to prevent shame coming onto a woman or the appearance that she was a concubine or prostitute.\n\nSo the fact that Jesus was not Joseph's son would not have been viewed as a big deal at the time- the common assumption may well have been that the father was a Roman soldier since rape by Roman soldiers was a common occurence.

No, people with different values and beliefs can get along.  My mom is a Baptist Republican and my dad is a Liberal Jew.  They get along great!  i think that opposites attract in many cases.  I tend to get along with everyone from all walks of life.

Yes they do. They call them people of the "book".\n\nMuslims do not allow women to marry outside their religion though. even to the people of the "book".\n\nThey had one book and thought they had hit a jackpot.\n\nBut seriously speaking they used to behead people who refused to convert and take their women in. so it was declared legal.

Yes, just not with my ex wife.

There are Gnostic Gospels that talk about him kissing Mary on the mouth.  There are also clues in the New Testament that may point to him being married.  For instance, the annointing would have ended in stoning for both him and the woman if they were not married.\n\nIn addition it would have been totally abnormal for a Jewish Rabbi not to be married at that time period.\n\nThere are also legends and many tales in Southern France of Mary Magdalene coming there with a child.

The only Scriptural grounds for divorce is adultery.\nSpeaking as a divorced Witness of Jehovah,I can say from personal experience that life goes on.What do you mean what happens?There is no other ground for divorce as far as Jehovah is concerned. There are various situations that may warrant seperation such as physical/emotional abuse.\nBut each congregation has a body of loving elders who are there to shepherd the flock with kindness,warmth,spiritual guidance and love.And these brothers are always available to be called on in any spiritual matter.\nI hope this information helps clear up whatever misunderstanding you may have told or heard.

there's a passgae in the bible that says "do not be unequally yoked together" (a yoke of oxen=2 oxen that are held together by a wooden harness.  There are some far right wing churches that would translate that to the point of races, when it actually continues to read "with unbelievers". The new testament doesn't really address inter racial marriage to my knowledge.\n\nIn the old testament there are several places that strictly forbid the Isrealites from marrying outside of their race, this was more of a religous reason than anything though.\n\nMost modern churches are very accepting of interracial marriages.

The New Testament was not meant to be a new law book for us to be put under after being freed from the burden of the old law book. Most Christians say unless your spouse commits adultery, you're stuck with them. If they're an ax murderer, a gang banger, satanic high priest, or as I read on this site recently, a soon to be trans-sexual, thats too bad. As long as they haven't cheated on you. Didn't Jesus rebuke the pharisees on several occasions for putting the written code above love and compassion? And didn't Paul say that God called His children to live in peace? Didn't the Lord command us to judge rightly?\n\nLegally speaking, in God's eyes, there is no such thing as divorce. In fact, in His eyes your spouse isn't the first person you walk down the aisle with, it is the first person you sleep with. Study it for yourself in the Old Testament. By this standard I wonder how many of us are "legally" married.\n\nIn the Old Testament(I forgot exactly where) there was a mass divorce because a lot of the Israelites married pagan women against God's express prohibition against it. These women did not commit adultery and God still hated divorce, but this mass divorce was a neccessary evil. Also, in the Law, the remedy for an unfaithful spouse was stoning not divorce. \n\nChristians are using the Bible as a rule book and completely missing the deep and beautiful spiritual truths it contains just like the Jews did with the Torah. They're reading it with carnal rather than spiritual eyes. God's marriage laws were meant to protect the innocent.\n\nThat all being said, remember that God does hate divorce and so should you.\n\nWalk in LOVE not law.

you should convert for religion sake, not for a boyfriend, apologies from a jewish guy, who for this reason, only dates jewish women. I hope you find many positive things in the jewish religion.

Most orthodox jews would oppose an intermariage. We jews loose more numbers to intermarriage than to any act of violence. That is because on a statistical basis, a child of an intermariage is much more likely to become part of the majority religion.. (such as christianity) thus no more future jews. That being said, no one would be killed, or threatend, no honour killings, and most likely the families would work it out. Many jewish communities and synagoges are reaching out to intermarried couples in order to have more jewish community, and in the intermarried couples home a more "jewish" presence.
