Bélla3: i condemn men of God more than 'unbelievers.' now lets not go into that. I Am not a HYPOCRITE.

Bélla3: funny. 'do not be EQUALLY yoked wit unbelievers'
Equally means coming down to a particular level (as regards the verse). The bible also talks about being joined as one when there is se.x. This are one of the things that make believers equally yoked wit an unbeliever. And this my friend is what connects it wit marriage. 'and two shall become one' this two shall become one is what brings about the equality. However like i said if a christian marrys an unbeliever, their marriage and children are cleansed by the christian through Christ.

Madam/Sir, the verse is do not be 'UNEQUALLY' yoked with unbelievers. And you'd be a HYPOCRITE if you criticise those Men of God without knowing them personally, just saying..

Guitarlife: bella hi, I take you were too busy to have read my posts cos it's kinda surprising you are still argueing after I had given you concrete biblical references to debunk your blanket generalisation.
What do you make of God when he instructed hosea a prophet to marry a harlot.
What do you make of judges 14:4 which stated clearly that it was Gods plan for samson an isrealite to fall in love and get married to a daughter of an uncircumcised philistine.
Just like Goshen would say, anything that you cannot preach anywhere, at any time and under any condition is not the gospel.
Please kindly respond to my two questions .
God bless you.

musKeeto:

Lol, this verse clearly has nothing to do with marriage.Not even if we look at it in context...

Well thank God for that well used cop out: The bible is not meant for carnal minds. I bet the Holy Spirit has given you insight into how this verse relates to marriage.. Surprise me please..

Bélla3: Sir, did u read the last paragraph of my post?
If a christian marries an unbeliever the marriage and children are purified by the christ through the christian . This is from a passage in the bible (cant rememba exact verse). This shows that while u can marry an unbeliever, it is not advisable. Thanks.

Guitarlife: Exactly my thought's. Nothing give's you the exclusive right to pronounce such union as not advisable since you have tacitly agreed that the bible did not condemn it.
As christians whatever we propound that does not have a solid biblical backing is what is called unscriptural.
No matter how sensible it appears. The church is so much engrossed in sensationalisation that we have forgotten that the scripture says,
'we should not add or remove from the word of God'.
How did you conclude that it was not advisable ? What if God intentionally instructed your kid brother to marry an unbeliever so he can manifest his glory like he did with hosea and samson.
I am sure you will put your foot down and say you are not a part of it on the basis of he 'being unequally yoked with unbelievers'.
The things of the kingdom defy logic therefore whatever question or scenarios we are faced with as long as we do not have a clearcut biblical reference it's always best we excercise caution because we may be in danger of heresy if we are not careful.
And just like the bible says, iron sharpeneth iron. It will be good if we as christians can accept our mistakes when they are pointed out. It's a sign of humility.
God bless you.

dagr8: Num 25:1-3
1.Now Israel remained in Acacia Grove, and the people began to commit harlotry with the women of Moab.
2 They invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods.
3 So Israel was joined to Baal of Peor, and the anger of the LORD was aroused against Israel.

Guitarlife: okay sir, read judges 14:4 twice and do you realise that 1 cor. 7:16 actually suggests that being married to an unbeliever is not all that bad ? You may want to look up the meaning of the word rationalising in the dictionary too.

Bélla3: thanks. I get your point. Bt kindly read 1 cor. 7:12 to 16 nd tell me what you understood from the passage.

Guitarlife: note that the people were not married to the women of moab but they were only commiting harlotry.
So could God's anger have been kindled because of the harlotry ?

Guitar: i read it three times. My Conclusion: God did it 4 a purpose. There are exceptional cases wit God nd is not 4 evryone.
it is wrong bt there are exceptional cases 4 d purpose of God. Dat waz y samson parents frown at it.
is it God dat asked u 2 marry d unbeliever? if yes, we av no issue. God is unquestionable.
bt generally wat did God says in His word.
i choose to disagree dat marrying an unbeliever is not dat bad.

God is a jealous God. Hope u kno dat. God is angry because they were bowing down 2 anoda god.
Our interest: what led 2 dat?
Their intimate relationship wt a pple who believe in dat gods.

Guitarlife: I believe as christians the passage expects us to be impervious to the whims and caprices of an unbeliving partner. It further suggests that marrying unbelievers might actually be a way to win them over becos if we are truly born again then we should rather be ecstatic that the light of God in us will shine forth to redeem those lost souls rather than them having the capacity to change us.
In essence any christian who is rather won over by an unbelieving partner may have a weak faith to start with.
That is what that passage was pointing out from my own perspective.

Bélla3: Good. It is nt advisable for al christians?
