It concerns being unequally yoked with unbelievers.
Yes. And what exactly does that mean to you?

That is so far out there I'm not sure how to answer.

Do we need more than one?

"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them" (Eph. 5:11)

'Lo those who do not abide in the doctrine of Christ, he is guilty of sin: "Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. fie that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: for he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds" (2 Jn. 9-11)

Re: You Can Fake It All

The church at Corinth was ripe with problems. Very carnal. At the beginning of the chapter it speaks of receiving the grace of God in vain. In the beginning of the letter and also after the passages in question were written, Paul speaks of a man he wrote about in his previous letter that was openly living in sin. Obviously the believers acted upon his letter.

It is not about dress codes or anything of that nature.

That's not far out there at all. It may be you have just never thought about it before.

These verses do not specifically mention "being separate". This is not talking about being separate like some sects do such as using it to make rules against the wearing of certain clothing or watching TV etc. This thread is about the making of rules to judge whether someone is "in" or "out". How would you apply the "be ye separate" verse (not verses because there aren't more) to the application of rules in a church body?

2 Corinthians 6:17.. NT, written to the early church. (us)

Apparently you can fake knowledge of the scriptures too.
In verses 17 & 18 Paul is quoting the OT. ...As God Said... "...."

Paul had a reason for telling the Corinthians to "come out from among them" and be separate. The church at Corinth had some who were joining pagans in worshiping in their temples.

They were also listening to false teachers. Some denied the resurrection (see 1 Cor. 15). Paul warned against their influence in the Christian church: "Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners" (1 Cor. 15:33). Some were led astray by the Judaizers (see 2 Cor. 3). Unfortunately, the Corinthians were receiving some of these false apostles (2 Cor. 11:4)

Whether or not it is about dress codes or "things of that nature" is up to the interpreter. Guess it depends on what "things of that nature" covers. I think it is obvious though that the main point was not to be associated with such. Whether or not that covers dressing like the world or "things of that nature" might again be up to the interpreter.

If it is up to the interpreter, should it be used as a measure of spirituality?

Specifically? Like as in how the bible "specifically" says cigarettes are bad for you?

"have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness"... don't fellowship with them, separate yourself from them, get away from them. It's pretty obvious.

"If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: Your to have nothing to do with them. Separate yourself. It's pretty simple.

I know what the "thread" is about. I was just addressing the question asked a couple of pages ago.
