Yoked

Unequally Yoked? I am with a girl and she is a christian. I believe in deism. Her parents do not know about me because she says they will say that we are unequally yoked. The bible says things like.... What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? I don't believe in an idol, i believe in the same god. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? I am in no way wicked and know many Christians that are far from righteous. It also says.... How can light live with darkness? I don't know but questions like that from the bible just fuel my reasons for believing in deism. It just seems like a ways of saying i am better then you because i can believe in something i have no way of proving to even be fact. (Like that god has an affect on your day or that praying is important) Basically what I'm trying to figure out is this (My sitiation) unequally yoked. Its not like i am a Muslim or a Jehovah's Witness. I just don't have a need for the bible to guide me. Thanks for anything.

I never really though about this befor, but when I asked a question about raising a child when you are and Agnostic I got many responses saying that my fiancee and I are unequally yoked. He is Christian, although he hasen't been to church in ages and I don't think it is a top concern of his in his day to day life, and I am an Agnostic who would like to believe, but I just don't feel like there is a God. Believe me I have tried, but I just felt I was faking a belief. Anyway my question is, do you think this will be a problem in our relationship? Please only answer this question. Do not preach to me to fing God, I tried and it didn't work you telling me to look is not going to change anything. Answers from believers and non are welcome, especially if you are in a situation like mine. Thanks.

What exactly is being "unequally yoked"? I have so many questions about this subject... If you hang out with someone who truly is pure, wants to stay pure, and strives to do right, but who isn't a believer, are you considered to be "unequally yoked" amongst unbelievers? What if you date/marry that person? IF you are being unequally yoked, does God consider that as a sin every time you hang out with that person? Will it mean you go to hell? I would like as much information as possible on this subject. Thanks! :-) I'm a Christian, and I'm budding in my relationship with God. I'm going through "those years" when I am about to enter high school and am going to be exposed to the real world. So would "unequally yoked" also mean putting earthly relationships with unbelievers in front of my relationship with God?

What exactly does it mean to be "unequally yoked"? Can you provide an example please?

what does the scripture "unequally yoked together" mean? is this referring to eggs? I admire all of your responses. wi_saint...question to you? Thats all there is, Jews and Gentiles. if I were a Jew and married a Gentile, this is wrong? hun, let me explain it to you. from the beginning, God made Jews and Gentiles. Jews are the chosen people. all that is left is Gentiles. The only way you and I can be saved is to be a Jew. How do we do this? WE accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and we become a "spiritual Jew through Christ. bottom line. Now...if you missed this, you missed the whole entire plan of salvation according to God HIMSELF. It's amazing to see how many Christians say they are Christians, and have NO idea how they even became one. A chritian is a "spiritual Jew" !!! through Christ. JEWS....are the ONLY people that will be in heaven.!!!!! are YOU a "spiritual Jew" through Christ? Galatians Ch.3 v. 22-29 "spiritual Jews. There are NO Jews nor Gentiles. This is why, old tesement Jews HAVE to accept Jesus Christ as they're Lord of Lords. bottom line: only "spiritual Jews" will enter heaven. That means everyone. period.

Is there a positive outcome for unequally yoked marriages? I am a Christian woman; although I definitely have some negative down sides to my personality (impatient), I love the Lord and always envisioned myself being involved in a Christian marriage. My husband and I have very similar background structures. Nevertheless, his structure turned out completely different from mine (family). I wasn't fully cognizant of this until recently. Often times I want to divorce my husband (we've only been married a couple of months) because of how cold he can be. Certainly God does not like divorce and I did make a vow in front of God. I never pressure my husband into going to church because I can't stand to be pressued into anything. However, my husband has already cheated on me and he has a problem with deceiving me. He makes my parents and others believe that he does love me and he wants to make me happy. Sometimes I see it, more often than anything else, I don't see it. Has anyone ever experienced this type of madness before?

God bless you through your journey of life and the lessons we learn daily. AMEN
