Oh Unions of Differing Faiths

Every once in a while, a conversation concerning a high school age or college age young person and the topic of marriage comes up. Each time the question is, "Should our baptist youth be dating or marrying a person of a differing faith?" I don't even mean differing faiths from say a baptist to a methodist (which can be quite different historically speaking), but faiths that differ from each other as mormons and protestants.

I realize we live in a Rodney King "Can't we just all just get along world", but seriously, what kind of fellowship does light have with darkness? Do we now think that donkeys can be equally yoked with a bull and pull that ancient plow?

There used to be a time when truth divided. I suppose that if there is no such thing as truth, then we may do whatever we desire to be true. For those of us who desire and love the truth of God, then we must be consistent in our walk with Christ. We must seek to understand the purpose that God has given to marriage and not take God's will lightly.

As Jesus taught, "the two shall be one flesh."
