Question: Should a Christian and a non-Christian establish a business partnership? Answer: In II Cor. 6:14-15 we read, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?" This scripture is generally taken to mean that a Christian and a non-Christian should not marry. But this same principle that applies to marriage would also apply to any close relationship or partnership that one might enter. A Christian should never include non-Christians as his bosom friends, even though he should love all men. This does not mean that a Christian cannot have any dealings with one who isn't a Christian, "for then must ye needs go out of the world" (I Cor. 5:10). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
