    May a Christian Marry a Non-Christian Without Being Unequally Yoked?

    The Christian who marries a person who is morally sound and does not pose a burden to his or her Christian beliefs or practices doesn’t' fall under Paul's prohibition regarding being unequally yoked. Neither does the Christian businessman who is involved with unbelievers in the practice of a legitimate trade necessarily involve being unequally yoked. It is only when one's involvement with an unbeliever would necessarily involve the Christian in sin that such a relationship would be wrong.

    Is Ezekiel 28 Discussing Satan?

    This is highly figurative language and as such we should be careful only to interpret it in light of clear biblical teaching.  Verses 1 and 11 are clear that this is speaking regarding the king of Tyre.  In the absence of another clear Biblical teaching regarding Satan's fall, it would be a very unwise course of action fraught with questionable hermeneutics to declare this scripture as a description of the fall of Satan.
