How do we know that being unequally yoked is true?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture firmly states that believers should avoid partnerships with unbelievers due to their opposing natures.

The truth of avoiding unequal yoking is supported by the consistent teaching of scripture throughout both the Old and New Testaments. In 2 Corinthians 6:15, Paul states that Christ has nothing to do with Belial, emphasizing the stark contrast between Christ and those who do not believe in Him. The metaphorical use of yokes teaches us that differing natures lead to friction and chaos. Just as oxen cannot work effectively if they are pulling in opposite directions, believers and unbelievers cannot engage in shared endeavors without compromising their faith and values. This principle is further reinforced by examples in scripture, such as God commanding Israel to separate from the surrounding nations, which signifies the importance of remaining distinct in faith.
