Relationship

Question

Hello
I have a friend who has classes himself as a Jewish Christian. He has entered into a relationship with a woman who has recently had a child with him plus he left his wife and 2 children for. His girlfriend has 2 other children with 2 different men. Now she sees herself as a Viking who doesn’t believe in God or Jesus but thinks there are many gods. She says she will not eat the way he eats or try to read the bible or adapt in any way.
How do you see this working out marriage wise?
I’m really interested
Thank you

    I am not sure that I understand what a “Jewish Christian” is. Judaism is defined by a person’s mother. If your friend’s mother is Jewish, according to Jewish Law he is also Jewish and it makes no difference if he believes in Jesus or not. If his mother is not Jewish, neither is he.

    In any event, obviously I cannot say whether the relationship is sustainable or not as I do not know anyone involved personally. However, according to the description that you have painted, it does not sound as if either of them actually appreciate or understand what marriage represents, which may not bode well for their future together.
