Does the Apostle Paul tell Christians not to touch the filthy things of non-believers?

Or is Paul referring to what the Lord God previously told the Jews, since there are quotation marks around the phrase. But must Christians also follow these commands?



These verses are from 2 Corinthians. Can someone correctly interpret them? Christians only please, I do not care to know the opinions of atheists,Satanists or cultists. Thank you.







2Co 6:14 Don't team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness?

2Co 6:15 What harmony can there be between Christ and the devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever?

2Co 6:16 And what union can there be between God's temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said:"I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be My people.

2Co 6:17 Therefore, come out from among unbelievers, and separate yourselves from them, says the LORD. Don't touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you.

2Co 6:18 And I will be your Father, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the LORD Almighty. "

2Co 7:1 Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God.Does the Apostle Paul tell Christians not to touch the filthy things of non-believers?
They can leave my f*cking doorbell alone for a start!!!!!Does the Apostle Paul tell Christians not to touch the filthy things of non-believers?
Like Richard Nixon wouldn't shake hands with people from San Francisco.

I'm not an atheist, cultist or Satanist. I just think we need to look at Paul's statements figuratively. not literally.Does the Apostle Paul tell Christians not to touch the filthy things of non-believers?
The apostle Paul quoted Isaiah's words in his letter to the Corinthians, saying: "Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what' fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what sharing does light have with darkness? ... Therefore get out from among them, and separate yourselves', says God, 'and quite touching the unclean thing.'" The Corinthian Christians did not have to leave Corinth in order to obey that the command. They did, however, physically have to avoid the unclean temples of false religion, as well as spiritually separate themselves from the unclean acts of those idol worshipers.
Not everything in the Bible is meant literally. It is good to pray the rosary regularly, to better know what verses should be taken literally and what verses should not.

The fifteen promises of Mary to Christians who recite the rosary:

1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary shall receive signal graces.

2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary.

3. The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against Hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.

4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities and will lead them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.

5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the Rosary, shall not perish.

6. Whoever shall recite the Rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries, shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just, he shall remain in the grace of God and become worthy of eternal life.

7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the Rosary shall not die without the Sacraments of the Church.

8. Those who are faithful to recite the Rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plenitude of His graces; at the moment of death, they shall participate in the merits of the saints in Paradise.

9. I shall deliver from Purgatory those who have been devoted to the Rosary.

10. The faithful children of the Rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in Heaven.

11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the Rosary.

12. All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.

13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire Celestial Court during their life and at the hour of death.

14. All who recite the Rosary are my sons, and brothers of my only Son, Jesus Christ.

15. Devotion to my Rosary is a great sign of predestination.
