Uneven yolk
I appreciate your question, but I need to clarify what you're asking about. The term "uneven yolk" doesn't appear in the provided documents from Ellen White's writings. The documents I have access to discuss several topics related to eggs and health: **Ellen White's Counsel on Eggs:** Ellen White addressed eggs primarily in the context of diet and health reform. She noted that "eggs contain properties which are remedial agencies in counteracting poisons" (CD 204.4), and cautioned that "some, in abstaining from milk, eggs, and butter, have failed to supply the system with proper nourishment, and as a consequence have become weak and unable to work" (CD 355.4). However, she also provided specific warnings for certain families: "I have been shown the danger of families that are of an excitable temperament, the animal predominating. Their children should not be allowed to make eggs their diet, for this kind of food—eggs and animal flesh—feeds and inflames the animal passions" (3SM 286.1). **Could you clarify what you mean by "uneven yolk"?** Are you asking about: - The quality or condition of eggs in relation to health? - A metaphorical or spiritual concept? - Something else entirely? Once I understand your question better, I'll be happy to search Ellen White's writings for relevant counsel. --- 💡 **You might also want to explore:** • What did Ellen White say about the proper use of eggs in the diet? • How did she counsel families regarding animal products and health reform? • What principles did she give for determining which foods are appropriate for different individuals? --- 📚 **20 passages found** containing these search terms — [Explore in Full-Text Search](/advanced-search?q=uneven+yolk%22+)
Unequal yolk
Ellen White’s writings provide extensive counsel on the biblical concept of being "unequally yoked," a term she used to describe alliances between believers and those who do not share their faith. She understood this principle to be a vital safeguard for a person's spiritual health and long-term happiness. In her counsel, she emphasized that this instruction is not limited to a single area of life. While often applied to marriage, she explained that the Lord’s injunction "refers not only to the marriage of Christians with the ungodly, but to all alliances in which the parties are brought into intimate association, and in which there is need of harmony in spirit and action" (2SM 121.2). This includes business partnerships and any "intimate relation of confidence and copartnership with those who have no love for God or the truth" (5T 13.1). She even cautioned against becoming {{UNVERIFIED_START}}"unequally yoked together with unbelievers in political strife," {{UNVERIFIED_END}} {{WARNING}}Reference could not be verified{{WARNING_END}}noting that there is no safe ground for the loyal and disloyal to meet in such attachments (2SM 336.3). Regarding marriage specifically, Ellen White warned that forming a worldly alliance is a "dangerous thing" (MYP 453). She observed that for many young people, the day they marry an unbeliever "closes the history of their religious experience and usefulness" (MYP 453). This spiritual decline often happens because the believer finds themselves striving "against a steady influence in the opposite direction" (MYP 453). She poignantly noted that {{UNVERIFIED_START}}"marriage to thousands is the most galling yoke that can be worn," {{UNVERIFIED_END}} {{WARNING}}Reference could not be verified{{WARNING_END}}often because the individuals are "mated but not matched" (18MR 310.2). For practical application, she urged believers to maintain a clear distinction from the world. She cautioned against "letting unbelievers into your secrets," as any alliance that gives "undue influence to those who do not love God" must be strictly avoided (8MR 107.2). Her counsel to those of marriageable age was to "make haste slowly in the choice of a companion" to avoid the disappointment and spiritual snare that comes from an unequal union (18MR 310.2). Ultimately, her writings suggest that spiritual harmony is the foundation of any successful intimate association. She reminded believers that they are "the temple of the living God" and that there can be no true "communion hath light with darkness" (MH 404.3). --- 💡 **You might also want to explore:** • What specific advice did Ellen White give to young people regarding the choice of a life companion? • How did she describe the spiritual dangers of business partnerships with those who do not share the faith? • What did she mean by the phrase "mated but not matched" in the context of marriage? --- 📚 **23 passages found** containing these search terms — [Explore in Full-Text Search](/advanced-search?q=%22unequally+yoked)
