I know that. I meant that the King James Version is the one that translated the "Unequally yoked" part. That means the exact same thing as the other versions. The other versions tell it clearer so that we may all understand its meaning.
No I'm saying if you going to evangelise to the person do that; in that way you will have plenty of room not to discriminate against a non-believe;r God's way.

All scripture is by God given to man for reproof, instruction, guidance, as it says in so many right ways in so many translations in scripture from the bible.

I would not personally marry a nice girl who was not a christian, in fact, I would not do more than tell them, 'It won't work, sorry, I think you are pretty as a billion stars globbed together brightly in a dark blue sky, but it won't work.'.
Now....that said, I understand many now in situation where with non-christian now seeing, and, everything seems fine. But I would not, it is a definition of being unyoked, not with same fundamental belief, in this casé it's religión. For me, the details matter, and, if you are christian-following life and she is world-ways following then that is too much for me to handle. Either your for God or not, I don't think it can be both ways can it? And, if it is both ways, what does God say about being 'lukewarm,' in scripture??
Flippant to say, perhaps, but, for me, and, I am not saying I am right , just outspokenly correct for my own beliefs, but, to me, if I see a non-christian, that would be putting the devil in the details.
But, the Lord leads, and, IF He (God) saw for for me to date a non-christian, then I would, but that sigma from Him would have to be as clear as one in a cornfield

You can't serve to Gods. You will love the one and despise the other. Right??
But why would Paul use that word if he could have just said "Do not be yoked"? He changed the meaning with that word in there.

I'm sorry...what did it change the meaning to say; that we can be unequally yoked
It means "do not be yoked unequally to an unbeliever".
This is different from simply saying "Do not be yoked to an unbeliever."

Exactly, vkat, couldn't have said it better myself, and, in fact I nor you , vkat, can say it is ours said, so to speak, because...it's in scripture (Matt 6:24), a bit worded different than serving 'two Gods,' as you aptly put it, but, that said, I think everyone who believes Christ is Lord of his/her life that 'two gods,' does not just apply togetherGod and money, but to many things, including God and the Devil who both want to be MASTER of your life.

Ok I agree with that...and feel bad again

That would be a plausible explanation if the rest of the verse did not ask what fellowship has light with darkness and lawlessness with righteousness.
Different levels of Christianity does not put one in darkness and one in light. If you are truly a Christian; you are of light
Ok I agree with that...and feel bad again
No worries, we are seeking truth together

There's nothing worse than someone that does not want to see what is in front of him.
Im going to let my kids choose once they reach a certain age. Im certainly not going to force the bible into them. I would be disappointed if they chose something else, but its their free will.

Let's look at the words.
Marriage is a type of yoke. When Matthew and Mark write about man and woman “joined” together by God in marriage (Matthew 19:6; Mark 10:9), they use a Greek word with “yoke” as its root. This root is the same as the one used in the 2 Corinthians 6 passage. In other words, the verbs in Matthew 19, Mark 10, and 2 Corinthians 6 are all etymologically related. God has “yoked” man and woman together into a one flesh relationship.
Definitions for suzeugnumi (literally “yoke”
."Yoke" was the common term used for marriage in the first century. The husband and bride were yoked together for life.
“So then, they are no longer two but one flesh.
Therefore what God has joined [yoked] together,
let not man separate”
Matthew 19:6
Therefore what God has joined [yoked] together,
let not man separate”
Matthew 19:6
“Therefore what God has joined [yoked] together,
let not man separate.”
Mark 10:9
Definitions for heterozygeo, which is translated “unequally yoked”:
“To be wrongly or poorly matched in an association - ‘to be mismatched, to be wrongly matched.’ ‘do not be wrongly matched with unbelievers’ 2 Cor 6.14. It is often necessary to indicate somewhat more precisely the manner in which one may be wrongly matched with others. Accordingly, one can translate 2 Cor 6.14 as ‘do not attempt to work together with those who are unbelievers’ or ‘do not become partners with those who do not believe.’ Louw, and Nida, Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament based on Semantic Domains.
This word derives from heterozygos. “unequally yoked” (e.g., the yoking of an ass and ox). It occurs for the first time in 2 Cor. 6:14, where Paul uses it to describe the abnormal situation that results when Christians fail to maintain their distinction from unbelievers.
Kittel and Friedrich, Editors, The Theological Dictionary of the New Testament.

To be “unequally yoked” would naturally be seen as a joining of two in marriage who do not belong together.
