GOD'S WORD IS BALANCED
GOD'S WORD IS BALANCED

Not against us is for us .
Not with us is against us.
Jesus said both of these things in http://biblehub.com/luke/9-50.htm; and in http://biblehub.com/matthew/12-30.htm.
They are not contradictory. Neither are they polarizing contrapositives.
They are relative; meaning, they are both immanent in each other in time and space; in any situation, organization, or person, including ourselves. They are quantum.
The same may be said about being "unequally yoked." Another false dilemma and informal fallacy is presented in First and Second Corinthians of the Apostle Paul. First he says, https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/…. Next, he says http://biblehub.com/2_corinthians/6-14.htm
Again as with Jesus Christ we are again confronted with what seems to be a contradiction, a polarizing contrapositive in the Word of God. Nonsense ! Wet and dry coalesce. Day and night are at peace with each other. Negative and positive are mathematically compatible.
What I am saying in this note is that in balance is order, is equanimity, is stability, is totality; is contrast, too!
Therefore, the Word of God is balanced; for those who believe, and for those who do not believe.
For those who are equally yoked, or unequally yoked, or without a yoke!
