So what did the Holy Spirit intend by His command not to be bound together with unbelievers? Bound together translates a participial form of the verb heterozugeo, which means, “to be unequally yoked.” Paul drew his analogy from Deuteronomy 22:10, where the Mosaic Law commanded the Israelites, “You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.” Those two animals do not have the same nature, gait, or strength. Therefore it would be impossible for such a mismatched pair to plow together effectively. Nothing in the context would lead to the idea that he is referring to earthy issues of human endeavors. In Paul’s analogy, believers and unbelievers are two different breeds and cannot work together in the spiritual realm. He called for separation in matters of the work of God, since such cooperation for spiritual benefit is impossible. The false teachers were eager to blend the people of God with the pagan worshipers, because that hinders the gospel. That is what this text forbids.

INSTRUCTIONS

*Original recipe called for 1 cup Three-Pepper Salsa. I didn't want to take
the time to make that recipe so it cannot be considered 'TNT'.
1. Heat margarine in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion,
corn and garlic, and saute 30 seconds. Add tomato and jalapeno; saute 4
minutes. Stir in shrimp, lemon juice, cilantro and salt; saute 3 minutes.
Remove corn mixture from skilllet; keep warm.
2. Place 1 tortilla in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat; top with
1/4 cup cheese. Spoon 1/2 cup corn mixture over cheese; top with a
tortilla. Cook 3 minutes pressing down with a spatula until cheese melts.
Turn carefujlly; cook until thoroughly heated (about 1 minute). Repeat
porocedure with the remaining tortillas, cheese and corn mixture. Cut each
quesadilla into quarters; serve with salsa.
NOTES : I used precooked salad shrimp for quicker preparation.  I think
chicken would be a good substitute for the shrimp.
