Getting a yes from a sheik is because I converted to Islam some years ago but didnt know they didnt believe in Jesus death and resurrection. I quickly went back to Christianity. My xhusband knows I left Islam and he needs to answer the sheik if I will say yes to go back to Islam. I dont want that. I guess he knows that the sheik will say no to him to remarry because my xhusband cant marry someone who has left Islam. But I will not go back to Islam. Maybe this will be enough for my xhusband to not be able to remarry.
I think this will definitely be enough with just this for the marriage to NEVER happen....as long as you are firm that you WILL NOT convert back before ever getting to the point of marriage. You need to be firm in your belief.......even if he were to say it would be ok for you to not convert.....honestly, you would be putting yourself in a very dangerous physical place at that point & a bad marriage would be the least of your problems......don't know if you are aware of the feelings toward Christians in that area of the world......you would have to be not paying attention to any news not to know how dangerous it is.....but for your own safety it would be foolish even if he would accept that you wouldn't convert or even if he would tell you that to trick you into coming....you need to know better than to get tricked again.

You definitely didn't even know him long enough to even KNOW him.....& definitely not long enough to ever know that what you were feeling was love....love grows it's not something that just happens without knowing the person.....that is called infatuation or wishful thinking that you are wishing it would turn out the way you DREAM.....but remember, DREAMS are NOT REALITY.....& you seriously need to get in touch with reality....& the reality of that area of the world in relation to your beliefs. When we don't research & get to know things before we do them....that's when things like converting to something you don't even believe happens because you had no idea even what you were being asked to convert to.....You definitely need to start becoming more knowledgeable about the things you are getting involved in & honestly....the difference in religion should be a huge enough thing for you to not even play the games you are playing with him to get him to not want to marry you.....those things you are requesting he can so easily lie to you about to get you to go along with the marriage....you really need to stand on something a lot more firm than that IMO......& your safety in the country he wants you to live in with your beliefs should be scary enough for you to never even consider messing around trying to manipulate him to rethink asking you to get married.

My heart & my prayers are with you in this & asking God to give you the strength to stand up for your beliefs strong enough so that they are what gives you the strength to say NO....& that you know that your safety is really what is on the line if he were to not get defensive but want to manipulate you into marriage....that would prove that he doesn't care about you because he doesn't care about your safety.....he knows exactly how the people in his country act toward people who have chosen to LEAVE his belief......& it's NOT a good picture no matter how he tries to paint it for you to see.....do your own research & you will see. ....know it's not easy since you just said that not long ago you were born again....but holding onto that is so much more important than being married to someone who doesn't care.....remember, God tells us not to marry into a situation where we are unequally yoked......that means of differing beliefs....God warns.....we need to pay attention to that warning...especially in situations like this.
