That comes across as being quite racist to me. By those rules, my wife and I shouldn't have gotten married. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short of a long dissertation and quoting scripture, "becoming one flesh", is primary as a foundation that both parties are Christians. Without a stable base and foundation for both to grow on, I believe one is indeed yoked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God has no prohibitions about interracial or interdenominational marriage. He does tell us NOT to become unequally yoked with an unbeliever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The great man of the OT, Moses, had a black wife . (I don't know what it's like in the US but there are many interracial couples/families in Australia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither does denominationalism. What's important is that a Christian is yoked with another Christian. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 2Co 6:15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 2Co 6:16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” 2Co 6:17 Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” 2Co 6:18 “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the LORD Almighty.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
