alello ::: 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 is generally interpreted to be a sanction against Christians being bound together with non-Christians in any spiritual relationship or in any enterprise that would be detrimental to the Christians' influence and testimony as members of the body of Christ. But this does not mean that Christians should sequester themselves and shun non-Christians. This would be in violation of the purpose and intent of Christians on the earth: to go into all the world and preach the Gospel (Matthew 28:19). See also 1 Corinthians 9:19-23. But I do believe that 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 does apply to marriage. My wife was a regenerate believer when I married her and so was I. We have been married for more than 45 years. I can't imagine being married to a non-believer. It surely believe it is a cardinal mistake for a Christian to pay no heed to this commandment and marry a non-believer. But of course it's always a cardinal mistake to disregard any portion of God's word. --Hank | ||||||
