THE PARADOX ?
2Cr 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
If you are unequally yoked with others
you are just going to go round and round in circles never getting anywhere in His Word.
This is terrible for cutting straight furrows, cutting to the chaise (of the matter) in His Word.
With bitter arguments breaking out all the time in church how could anyone agree and move on through His word leaning together.
But then again, this passage is talking about how you were raised in your cultural tradition since a child. Before you were saved and discovered the truth.
Depending on what culture you were raised in you could be doing that which seems perfectly ok to you right now but after receiving the free gift of Salvation and down payment of the Holy Spirit (of truth) you will begin to see the spirit of error and hypocrisy all around you.
Christ comes into you and lives in you and wakes-up your inner man. There is a Spiritual marriage souls entwined.
Paul is saying Its perfectly normal and ok to reject the lies and accept the truth even embrace it with all your heart, Even if it (the light of truth) goes against your upbringing, cultural morays and tribal tradition.
This sort of Paradox happens in varying degrees from time too time to folks living in far-flung lands with extreme strange and even dangerous tribal traditions like cannibalism for instance.
And in all fairness to the so-called primitive peoples
To another so-called advanced culture it was normal even good to gas millions of innocent people men women and little children in mock shower stalls and then burn them in ovens
And to yet another it was fine and dandy to drop a couple of nuclear bombs and wipe out two whole cities in the brink of an eye.
And in subtler terms it is perfectly normal to inject pagan-hypnotic themes in songs we hear and the devil hidden in everyday mundane things
Everything we see and hear on T.V. is strictly controlled !
Instilling satanic thought control in everything from cartoons and designs in childrens books to toys and cereal boxes to commercials and films even the fabric patterns on the couch we sit on and the tunes, songs and programs we watch on television.
Everyday we are flooded with thought control in the form of hidden messages and hypnotic trance injection that many are totally oblivious to.
You can wake up and come out
its ok
