You are UNEQUALLY YOKED!! Fighting alot? Cant decide? What about the children? What faith is right? HELP HELP HELP!!! Here is what the bible says about being unqually yoked.

2 Corinthians 6:14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Light and Darkness cant clash together...either it is day or it is night. The same with believers and unbeliever... either you accept Jesus or you dont. No wonder there are so many broken marriages...so many broken families. The bible clearly speaks againts being unqually yoked so why do people do it? I couldnt tell you.

Well some might say "I am in LOVE"!! Let me tell you today do not be decieved there is not greater love that the love of Jesus!

John 15:13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

I am sorry honey if you believe that man or boy you are with loves you better or more than Jesus Christ you are decieved. Jesus was the ULTIMATE SCARAFICE for us all. The bible tells us..

1 Peter 2:21-23
21For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

22Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

23Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

He never spoke a mummbling word and yet they hated him! WOW. Jesus is the best lover choose to love him today! Pray for the spouse of boyfriend who is not a believe Jesus can turn it all around!

James 5:16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much

It is best NOT to date someone who is not a believer in the first place!

Well to be honest, i for one have because i thought maybe i could change that because of their confusion. In turn it test my faith more than anything i have gone through. It didn't work out in the end.

*Throws a punch* YES! God knows what's best for me. If I do get married it will be to a man who loves Jesus just as much as I do.

~I'll take em on!~

You also gotta realize that if someone wants to date you and you insist that you will not marry or date a non-believer, that could impact them for the better.

Ok may i present you with a common occurance?

What if persay someone only told you that they were a follower, and did things only for you and not for them or Christ?

I guess im asking what if they just manipulated their way? and The Lord was just testing your faith and patience.

As a reminder for everyone: This is specifically covered in detail in Paul's letter in 1 Corinthians 7 (NLT) and especially 1 Corinthians 7:12-16 (NLT):

"12 Now, I will speak to the rest of you, though I do not have a direct command from the Lord. If a Christian man has a wife who is an unbeliever and she is willing to continue living with him, he must not leave her. 13 And if a Christian woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he is willing to continue living with her, she must not leave him. 14 For the Christian wife brings holiness to her marriage, and the Christian husband brings holiness to his marriage. Otherwise, your children would not have a godly influence, but now they are set apart for him. 15 (But if the husband or wife who isn't a Christian insists on leaving, let them go. In such cases the Christian husband or wife is not required to stay with them, for God wants his children to live in peace.) 16 You wives must remember that your husbands might be converted because of you. And you husbands must remember that your wives might be converted because of you."

Read all of Chapter 7 over again and then verses 12 to 16 again as well - ESPECIALLY verse 16, because if an opportunity to assist a partner or spouse to find the Word is wasted, then Paul's personal advice means nothing. Paul was avery gifted Apostle and he had discernment to a very high level. His instructions are based upon the general teachings of Christ as applied to specific situations by way of logical thinking and what was right. His advice here in chapter 7 is of utmost importance and we should consider his words carefully.

I thought adultery was the only Biblical grounds for divorce~

Or does this mean let the unbeliving spouse leave, but you don't divorce?
Hmmm.....

Hi Violet!

No! To the best of my understanding, it does not mean let them go but don't divorce them! If an unbelieving wife or husband wants to end the marriage, it is not the responsibility of the believing spouse therefore, not divorcing them would only add to the the problem. The unbelieveing spose would probably enter into a relationship with someone else, so by not divorcing them, the believing spouse would be an unwilling party to adultery. My take on it, anyway...
