1 | He believes in God not Jesus, is it ok? | 1 Cor 7:12 | seekng_truth | 161176 | ||
I am confussed about the meaning of the passage 2Cor6:14. Be Not Unequally Yoked. I am engaged to what I believe is my soul mate. This man is perfect for me. We have been engaged for about 7 months now and are planning to wed in May of 2006. Recently we engaged in a conversation about religion. In which It was revealed that he does not believe that Jesus is Gods son. He says that he believes in God but not Jesus. He has some beliefs but not from the New Testiment where Jesus and the miricles are concerned. Are we unequally yoked because of this? He believes that Jesus was a prophet and nothing else. Can someone please shed some light to this question? | ||||||

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 |

I may have confused you a little bit at the end there. I admit I misquoted Paul in my response. What Paul talks about are those who are already married when one becomes a believer. Like I said earlier, it's healthier and better for Christians to marry, and I must insert my opinion now. If you wish to marry him (since you are engaged) go through with it, but as to the spiritual relationship of your marriage, I'd expect a rough ride. Sorry about the mistake. | ||||||
