I disagree because the contrasts Paul give are spiritual; righteousness and lawlessness, light and darkness, Christ and Belial, a believer and an unbeliever, the temple of God and idols. These are not business relationships, they are spiritual...

Most of Solomon’s marriages were political in origin. From heads of provinces sending their prettiest girls to curry his favor, to foreign kings marrying their daughters to him to cement a non-aggression treaty with him. The latter were his...

If she is willing to follow, she will be converted pryor to becoming your wife.

Now for a follow on question: Can a man be unequally yoked with a BELIEVING woman? Yes, in my not so humble opinion, most definitely YES. examples?

some will not convert. That was King Solomons problem. They lead his heart astray and he began to honor then worship others gods. Why would someone follow idols when they had first hand knowledge of the Creator? Two reasons: one was he was...

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2 Cor 6:14 I believe that the primary application of 2 Corinthians 6 is about business...

Dead people say whatever you want them to.

I believe that is how it was always taught to me growing up as well but, if you track scripture from front to back, you realize that these are the same two wives that Christ takes as part of the new covenant as his brides. That would be a...

I think I am pretty much on the same page as you. I think it is the Son that has the assembly of people who make up the Bride and/or Brides. I don't think the Father or the Holy Spirit have a marital relationship with anyone. When we see...

Dead people say whatever you want them to.

He is another, and related question. We often read about adoption/sonship. We read that God is our Father, and we are His children. Does the language of adoption and sonship specifically refer to our relationship with the Father, while our...

I think we tend to have a vague impression that the Old Testament is about God the Father, and that the New Testament is about the Son. That isn't right. It is all one big beautiful story about how our God saves a people for Himself.
