I
have to laugh. Like so many
young Christians, I used to think
that 2 Corinthians 6:14, "Do not be
unequally yoked with unbelievers"
was talking about unequal egg yolks.
I actually counseled a teenage girl
with that verse once, telling her
that two completely different eggs
wouldn't be good together, and so
she shouldn't date an unbeliever
whose like a different egg. It
wasn't until years into my Christian
life that I found out that a
"yoke" is
a wooden bar which two animals -
such as oxen - are joined at the
heads or necks for working together.
If a donkey and an ox are yoked
together, the yoke will weigh
heavily on one animal while choking
the other, or as the animal with the
longer stride moves ahead it will
painfully drag the other along by
the neck! They would be
unequally yoked.
God forbid that we would unequally
yoke (date) with unbelievers.
That passage in 2 Corinthians continues by asking
"For what communion has light with
darkness?" and "what part has a
believer with an unbeliever?" The
more we grow in our walk with
Christ, the more pain we feel too
when we are unequally yoked in a
relationship. Our whole life
would be like that poor animal being
choked because we can't enjoy the
bond that we would otherwise have
with a believer.
This site is here for you to help
you find a Christian date who may be
online looking for you too, and may
you find that someone and have a lot
to yoke about!
