II Corinthians 6; Verses 14-18; Equally/Unequally Yoked; True Love

(II Corinthians 6:14-18) "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness (doing right) with unrighteousness (doing wrong)? and what communion hath light with darkness?


(Paul used many examples to get through to people here. Yoked together should be the ability to work as a seamless team, balancing the weight/work. One person putting all in it will never work. One person putting in 75 and the other 25 it will never work. Bare each others burdens in unselfishness. Lightening the load. That is how God works. Christ was the example in being servant. Why HE is in the middle, and the middle of it all. Freedom (from bondage, having that rest, first yoked with Christ individually) allows the love to be unselfish as Christ did the same for us).

(Though, we do not meet in the middle on Christian morals/ethics (compromising them) as feelings result (correct feelings or incorrect). That being said that imbalance will cause one to be putting in more feelings and getting nothing back in return (feelings then become all negative because of no trust). Making that work tiring as a result as an unbalanced yoke would. I suppose let's bring out the whip and be a slave driver too).


An unbeliever/not true Christian will not have the forgiveness of sins thus repentance as it is. Not even know how to forgive, or what to forgive for. Feeling correctly and emotional intelligence begin there. NOW YOU ARE GROWING. Otherwise, you're always in the past, vengeful, spite, bitter. And everything negative as a result. Beginning with fear with this complete absence of love. Complete love casts out all fear. The first two commandments.


Moving on, light with darkness. Like night and day, nothing in common. One a child of light, one a child of darkness (until belief/repentance). The work here also seen because the darkness always runs from the light. Therefore, the chase would be on. Work, work, work. No team.


The darkness cannot comprehend/understand the light. Surely they won't be around to seek to understand the person.


15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
What does Christ have in common with satan (of course the person is not satan themselves)?


Do they walk together joined at the hip? Holding hands? Believe = Faithful. Infidel = Faithless


16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.


(That would be breaking the very first commandment. Therefore, there can be no love in it).


17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,


Be separate as in sanctified. An unbeliever may take this well are you better than me? Irrelevant. That is an impossibility as it is for one who has been humbled truly by God. Following His ways lower themselves. Where as man plays God making it up excusing his actions. Quite frankly, man makes up standards that cannot be kept. God makes standards we can keep through Christ as He did first for us. To say one wants more than that is playing God, above God. Who thinks their better? You will never win with a double-standard "judger". beside that, they have it set up that way where they are right about everything, right in their own eyes. They love to argue too. Because they have to be right. So, we wonder why the mess?


18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."


(And so it is. View and treat each other as brothers and sisters in Christ first. That view for a reason. Spiritual protection. As this view first gives much power of protection. How so you ask? Naturally, one wants to protect and not see their natural sibling harmed. So Spiritually even greater. The power of the Holy Spirit. Now we're talking God's Will).
