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.
John MacArthur

Mid-week and nearly mid-month. Today is one of my sib’s wedding anniversaries. 

We were able to be together earlier this month at her daughter’s wedding. 7 living 

sibs (from 6 different states) were there as well as a niece from Mexico.

Interview at the Big IT Company 

I went for an interview at a big IT company today for the position 

of Computer Hacking Investigator.

The boss asked me, "So, what makes you suitable for this job?"

"Well," I replied, "I hacked into your computer and invited myself 

to this interview!”

Noah 

Noah opens up the ark and let all the animals out, announcing to them 

all to follow God's command and "Go forth, be fruitful and multiply."

He's about to close the great doors of the ark when he notices that there 

are two snakes sitting in a dark corner and not making a move to leave. 

So he says to them, "Didn't you hear me? You can go now. Go forth and 

multiply."

The snakes reply, "That command doesn't apply to us."

Noah shakes his head and asks why.

"We don't," said the snakes, "we're adders.”
