Is the command against being unequally yoked still applicable today?

Yes, the command against being unequally yoked remains applicable today. Paul taught by inspiration that a believer and an unbeliever cannot work together in such a union. The Old Testament law's principle in Deuteronomy 22 is still the same admonition: believers must not be unequally yoked with unbelievers.

Les explains that the yoke refers to beasts of burden plowing together, two oxen pulling in unison. Paul, by inspiration, says a believer and an unbeliever on an equal social level still cannot be joined that way. The agricultural picture from Israel's agrarian society correlates to spiritual understanding. Deuteronomy 22:9-10 forbids sowing with diverse seeds, illustrating the same principle. Les emphasizes the admonition is still the same today: be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers.

Is the Old Testament law about being unequally yoked still applicable today?

Yes, the principle remains applicable. Scripture applies the Old Testament imagery of the yoke to believers and unbelievers, teaching that such a union will not work. Paul states by inspiration that believers must not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, and the same admonition continues today.
