One thing that continnually comes up in discussions on here is if Paul didn't say it to us specifically, it doesn't apply...While I certainly don't argue with the dispensational aspect of that line of thinking, I do think that Paul was trying to make it easy on these Christians who just couldn't get it right...

1  And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.


But as one grows in Christ, reads and studies their Bible they are able to discern better and get to more meatier issues and by comparing Scripture with Scripture understand these things.

I find it very interesting that you seem to have come up with a new philosophy on whether or not it is wrong to marry an unbeliever when quite honestly I know of absolutely no Bible Believer or teacher at any time in history ever teach it so. Correct me if I am wrong.
Obviously it matters not what man thinks or teaches but I do believe it is worth considering.

As this seems to be directed to me I will answer it.
You characterize me as a babe that can only digest milk. I'm not offended. I find it ironic that you would imply that while you are unable to understand what I have written. You accuse me of coming up with some new philosophy about marrying an unbeliever. My position is exactly the same as George's. Is brother George a babe, as well?

Thanks for waiting. I posted my response in the Biblical Marriage - "Joined Together" or "Yoked Together"? thread.
