Is it okay for a Christian to marry a non-Christian, like a Buddhist atheist or Muslim?

And what if they already have children? How would you counsel the Christian? May God bless you and

your wife? Yeah, this is a, I'm really glad you're asking this question. Suzy, I have before I

answer it. I want to ask you the whole audience to really seriously consider one thing.

Are you willing to follow what God says on this topic? Because to me, the will of God, I only

want what you want is the biggest single issue in this whole thing. I've seen many Christians

go down the road of partnering, marrying people that they probably never should have because they

simply, it didn't matter what scripture said. There was such a desire, I want what I want.

And somebody, somebody tell me how to reinterpret these verses. So let me go to the scripture that

actually talks about it. It's in first Corinthians and it talks about being unequally yoked and

many of you are familiar with this passage. So first, second Corinthians, sorry, second Corinthians

614. Here we go. Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. Now, a yoke, this is an old school

farming analogy. The analogy is that of a, of a, the yoke is like a piece of wood that's placed,

pieces of wood that are placed on an ox or some animal. And he's yoked or attached to another

animal so they could pull plows or, or, or cart together. They're yoked together so they could

work together. So the yoke here is talking, I think, about marriage and sexual intimacy.

So don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what part, partnership has righteousness

with lawlessness or what fellowship has light with darkness, what a court has Christ with Belial,

or what portions as a believer share with an unbeliever. What agreement has the temple of God with

idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said, I will make my dwelling among them

and walk among them. And I will be their God. And they shall be my people.

Therefore, go out from their midst and be separate from them, says the Lord and touch no
