I want to point out something, that has not been discussed. While there are discussions about what it says in the Bible, not everyone shares the same view. In fact, I am not just talking about Atheists, or people of other faiths. Even within the Christian faith, there are different views and different ways of reading the same thing. Case in point, in some Christian faiths, the woman is expected to stay home, raise a family, and almost be (or so it would seem) subservient to her husband. In other Christian groups, the husband and wife are equal. We can take it further. For every belief of one Christian group, there is another with a differing view.
I know there will be debate about what I am saying. Every group has its own set of core beliefs. None are wrong. Where you might not agree with something I believe in, that doesn't mean I am necessarily wrong. How many of you here think having more than one wife is wrong, both morally and ethically? Yet, there is a Mormon sect, a Christian based faith, that believes that this is completely acceptable, and can quote the Bible in their argument.
The same goes for this line of being unequally yoked. I think we need to be careful here when we are talking about the Bible, because there are many different interpretations of this book. Just as there are different interpretations of the Quran. I am not criticizing anyone who believes either of these books, and I am not saying that if they believe differently than me, that they are wrong. What I am saying, is that, there are people who are not Christians, who may read things here, and be confused about its meaning. It could even be interpreted that this is what we as Western Men believe. We have to be more careful!
