UNEQUALLY YOKED

    The people of Israel practiced this principle that kept him apart from the pagan nations (Lev 26.9-13;. Ez.38. 27-28). St. Paul states that Christians put it into play. In his dissertation (2-C0.6.14-18) refers not only to marriage or other religious faiths. There is no biblical basis for this claim. He speaks to the people of God as a holy nation, secluded 'to announce the praises of Him who called us out of darkness into his marvelous light "(1-P.2.9).

    A nation truly is when hoards a culture, in this case comes from applying all the principles and teachings of the Word of the Kingdom. And considering the culture of a people not only has to do with the marriage of their individuals or formats of worship. These two aspects are part of the culture of a people do not represent the whole of it. This is everything that integrates and identifies and develops.

    The people of God have the same origin, history and destiny that sets it as a nation, framed by their "national constitution", that is, the Holy Bible. All this would be impossible without unity. Jesus longed (Jn.17.21). This compares to the integration of all organs and members of one Body (the "mystical body" of Christ).

    If a believer must not have partnership commitments ("unequally yoked") with unbelievers, then, who must have them? Obviously, with the other members of the Christian community. This is biblical and realistic. Biased or malicious interpretations are no more than artificial, to distract or manipulate. This same principle of practical unity, more than just conceptual, inevitably lead us to other equally important principles that complement such as solidarity and equality.

    The commandment says: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness". But there can be no justice if there is no equality. There can be no equality if there is no solidarity. And there can be no effective and bountiful solidarity, if there is no proper integration and organization.
