[QUOTE="Bible Highlighter, post: 70772211, member: 356113"] 1 Corinthians 7:15 does not undo what is said in 2 Corinthians 6:14. It still means what it says. 1 Corinthians 7:15 is about a marital situation between two people. They are joined together in marriage (Which changes the scenario because they made a promise to each other in being joined together as one flesh in marriage). This is not the case in 2 Corinthians 6:14. There is no marriage situation going on here. 2 Corinthians 6:14 is telling the believer to not have fellowship with unbelievers because their sinful ways can influence them back into the ways of the world and lead them into a life of sin. For believers can backslide into a life of sin (and become unsaved and then can be restored back to the faith by repentance) like in the Parable of the Prodigal Son. For when the prodigal son came home, his father said that he was dead and is alive again two times. This is speaking in spiritual terms of course. Anyways, I know by first hand experience what it is like to be influenced by unbelievers. Such a thing had led me into a life of sin where I need to repent and get my heart right with the Lord again. But if you need other verses that say the same thing as 2 Corinthians 6:14, here ya go: Ephesians 5:3-7 3 "But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 "Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 [B]Be not ye therefore partakers with them[/B]." "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?[B] whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God[/B]." (James 4:4). "I wrote unto you in an epistle [B]not to company with fornicators[/B]." (1 Corinthians 5:9). "And[B] have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness[/B], but rather reprove [I]them[/I]." (Ephesians 5:11). 14 "And [B]whosoever[/B] [B]shall not [/B]receive you, nor[B] hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet[/B]. 15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city." (Matthew 10:14-15). That is how evangelization was done back then. They would travel two by two to people's houses preaching the gospel. If they did not receive the words of the gospel, they were to depart that house. They did not stay and have fellowship with them afterwards or stay in contact to get together later so as to watch a sports game and scream profanities together. Fellowship in the New Testament is described as believers only gathering in each other's homes every Sunday to celebrate the Lord's supper and to worship the Lord. Churches today have it all backwards. They have a big building and try to cram believers and unbelievers into the same building or area to worship God together. But how can unbelievers worship God? The short answer is that they cannot do so. ... [/QUOTE]
