Interracial Marriage & Dating

[ben34]

Hi I am new and I am saved but I have some trouble with figuring out whether interracial marriage and dating is against the word of God. I am caught in the middle and would like someone to help me with this and some other things. Hope someone can help me soon.

Thanks Ben

I appreciate the help but I still dont feel any better about it is there anywhere in the Bible where I should look to find Gods word on this so that I can have peace with this issue?

Moses' wife was Ethiopian. (Num. 12:1) Solomon's wife was "dark...like the tents of Kedar." (Sol. 1:5)

No, there are no Biblical prohibitions to marrying someone of a different race.

[IslandRose]

When God told the Children of Israel not to marry outsiders it was to keep out those who worshiped other Gods, not those of other races.

When you read the Old Testament, you will see that Moses married a woman who was most likely dark skinned. Rahab and Ruth were not Israelites, yet God blessed their marriages and put them into the line from which Christ came because they honored God. Those who were judged for marrying outside the race were done so because their hearts were drawn away to worship false Gods.

I would like to thank you all for the help and time youve given me but however I had already knew the answer to this for God had already revealed to me the truth the reason I asked was to see if there were others who knew the truth and did not go off of their own feelings or beliefs for I ran across some sites that would say it is against the Word Of God because they dont like it for some of my family members were against until I showed them the Truth That God Showed me.
