Church-in-Quarantine, Episode 20: Unequally Yoked

Diversity is a wonderful thing. But not every incarnation of diversity is inherently good. In the last episode, we saw that interracial marriage is not only ok, but it is occasionally lauded in the Bible as wonderful. But what about interfaith marriage. Most liberals (and I am not using that as a particularly bad term) that I know would laud interfaith marriage as an excellent example of tolerance and diversity. However, Scripture does not support the idea. Those who belong to Christ have a different purpose and a different destiny from those who do not call on the name of Christ. This does NOT mean that Christians are good, and non-Christians are bad. There are plenty of deplorable believers and also remarkable non-believers. That is, ultimately, irrelevant. Interfaith marriage is prohibited because both persons have different goals and destinies. ... However, many people find themselves in such marriages. What are we supposed to do in such situations? Well, give this episode a listen and we will find out.
