1 | Unequally Yoked? | 2 Cor 6:14 | Sarah H | 76716 | ||
Does "unequally yoked" mean that you should not marry someone that have different beliefs than you? example: If one thinks everyone has the gift os speaking in tongues and the other doesn't. Even if they are both Christians and have the same beliefs about everything else in the bible. | ||||||
2 | Unequally Yoked? | 2 Cor 6:14 | leabeater | 79192 | ||
Paul defines the "unequal yoke" as marriage to an unbeliever (see response above). So, no, it does not mean two Christians who differ over "non-gospel essentials" (i.e. the core of Christianity: salvation by grace through faith). There are many examples of marriages in Scripture where husband and wife were in disagreement over doctrine (Rebekah's cicumvention of Isaac's intended blesing of Esau - Gen. 27:1ff). Yet Scripture makes it clear in most instances that both were God-fearing (i.e. saved) people. |
