First up today, here's a voicemail from one of our listeners named Brian.

My question for pastor is, will people in a relationship make it when one believes another

doctrine in Jesus' name, but the other person believes in another doctrine, but

it's the same Jesus. They just see it as a different doctrine point of view. Is that

being unequally yoked or not? Thank you.

Hey, Brian, thank you for that question.

The language of being unequally yoked comes from 2 Corinthians chapter 6 verses 14 and following.

Where Paul said to the Corinthian Church, do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers.

For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness or what fellowship has light with darkness, what accord

has Christ with Belial, or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever?

And so to answer your question specifically, no, I don't think that two believers who differ

on some doctrinal point are necessarily unequally yoked, but I do think that that could create

definitely strain in the relationship, of course, depending upon the doctrine.
