And doesn't Jesus go on to say, in that quote/reference, that his yoke is easy and light?
Then why do many "christians" use Paul to demand that individuals in the church NOT share yokes when they are imbalanced? Particularly, this is applied to marriage or dating. I have even heard it applied to business partnerships / relationships.
Jesus says: share the imbalanced yoke.
Paul says: do not share the imbalanced yoke.
Who is right?
(My suggestion: the one who is God is likely right.)
