"Is there an unforgivable sin?" (Alleged Contradiction #E6599)
But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

Christians should not marry unbelievers, and they should make this decision in their hearts before marriage. After marriage it is too late. Also, sometimes two nonbelievers marry and then one comes to Christ, resulting in an unequal yoke.

However, those who have not yet married should stay away and never enter into an unequal yoke.
