1 | He believes in God not Jesus, is it ok? | 1 Cor 7:12 | youthguy | 161177 | ||
Hey seekng_truth- In 2 Corinthians 6:14, Paul is talking to the Corinthians about Christians and false teachers. He relates false teachers to servants of Satan (vs. 15). We can say that it talks about marriage to believers and unbelievers, but that wasn't its original intent. A reader cannot pick out portions of the Bible they like and discard portions they don't. 1 Corinthians 7:12-13 says that it's okay for non-believers to marry, but not divorce (except for certain circumstances). I think the term "unequally yoked" comes from Deuteronomy 22:10, where the command is not to yoke a donkey and an ox together to do work. We could easily apply this here, but that would be the wrong thing to do. As this CONCEPT (emphasis added)relates to marriage and relationships, I believe that it's healthier for a Christian to marry a Christian, but at the same time, I agree with Paul and am not completely against a Christian marrying an unbeliever. There will surely be some problems you'll have to overcome, but check out 1 Cor. 7 with an open mind and a good commentary. Greg |

Actually Paul, writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, IS against a Christian marrying an unbeliever. Grace to you, Kalos |
