I started having major theological opinion changes the more I read scripture. When I read scripture and it did not line up with what I was taught I'd pray and ask God to show me the answer in his word and scriptures would start jumping out of ever teaching I heard even when totally on another subject. A little changing of the scripture wording was noticed and it slammed me up side the head with questions.
Probably the "unequally yoked" thing is bugging me the most right now. I see people apply it to marriage more than anything and yet they use all kinds of business transactions with unbelievers and corporations, even doctors and lawyers that are not saved. I'm not planning on hiding away - but seriously. How is one to draw a line of separation and who gets to decide who is saved and who is not? I mean if they act saved and say they are not isn't that better than if they say they are saved/believe and act unsaved?
We have aquaintences : a believer married to an unbeliever per se' but at the same time they go to church together, fellowship together, bible study together and the guy still doesn't believe there is a God - just alligned himself with his Bride and called it good enough. Kind of like Ruth - she did not say she believed in Naomi's god just that she would make him her God.

It appears a reference to idol worshippers and believers not being yoked together.
