Bible Question:
How would this pertain toward working in a business startup with people of whom I do not know all of them, but the main person I know is not saved? I would be joining them in a company building software where I would be playing a vital part in the success or failure of ths software? It's not that the business we are running has any wrong-doing in the sight of God, but that I would be essentially working with non-christians as a similar role as a partner in the company. On one hand I feel God could use me by my example and the potential to witness. On the other, I would be working with non-christians. I have a strong faith and always have, but have had question as to whether taking this would be non-biblical and disobedience toward God. Thoughts... |
Bible Answer: Mabudachi, Greetings and welcome to the forum. This verse while it carries application to whom we marry I believe it also carries much godly council when it comes to alliences and friendships we may enter into. The best advice I can give you at this point in time is to not enter anything that will require you to compromise Godly principle. Study through the Old Testament it's Chock full of Gods heart and commandments regarding whom his people should and should not allie themselves with. Hope this helps. In Christ, lionheart |
