Interracial Marriage

[Massorite]

Before we continue on, Yesult is a brother in Christ, let us remember that as we post.

Brothers in Christ don't fight with everybody like he is doing. Measure a man/woman by thier fruit.

When I think about it, I think would prefer to be rationally mixed and have a more exotic look, rather than just being plain jane white. lol.

No - you are perfect and exactly who you are supposed to be!

Mat 6:14 For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you,

Mat 6:15 but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

I went back and read some of the posts by Yesult since there seems to be a lot of anomocity against him. It appears that all he is saying is that since there is a great deal of racism in the world, that one of the considerations people should make before they marry someone of a differen't race is the children. He goes so far as to say it is wrong to bring kids into the world who are mixed because of the persecutions they will face. I don't think that kind of reasoning makes Yesult a racist, but I don't agree with it. Here is why.

No child is conceived outside the will of God. Every child is created by God for a specific purpose. A lot of times, people think of a child as being the result of a careless mistake. In their minds that may be so, but even unplanned pregnancies are by design for a reason. If two people from two races wish to marry, I don't think they should feel like they are doing wrong because of the possible persecution the kids might have to endure. You could have a child who is ugly by other people's standards, and that lead to persecution, or they might be frail and sickly, leading to them being bullied as a child. You can't live your life with those kind of fears. If it is too big of an issue where you live, perhaps you should move to a differen't location where the people aren't such bigots?

I could be wrong about Yesult. He might be a racist, but I don't necessarily come to those conclusions just because he is concerned about the children of a mixed marriage. What would concern me is if he looks down on the children of a mixed marriage. That would be racism. I just think his position is wrong. God doesn't condemn mixed marriages anywhere in scripture. Yes, he did make differen't races, and I understand the thinking of those who think they should remain pure in their race, but if something is not condemned in the Bible, who are we to place extra-Biblical commands on people? Originally, there was not the means of travel we have today, and there was less interaction between people of differen't nations. After Babel, there was also a communication problem between those of differen't nations. Is it also wrong to learn to translate each other's tongues in order to communicate? After all, God did scramble our languages for a reason.

I get where Yesult is coming from, and I don't think automatically accusing him a racism is helpful. At the same time, I think if we would simply look at his concerns in light of scripture, we would see that while they may have some element of human wisdom, they don't stand up to Biblical scrutiny. The original question in this thread was what advise we would give to someone who wants to marry a person outside of their race? The only concerns I would have was whether or not they are of the same faith? The person is a Chrsitian, so no problem there. The other question is whether or not they are prepared to deal with persecution from racists? If they are, then I would wish them God's speed, and pray that they will have a wonderful and blessed life together. I would suggest that if they are living in an area where there is a lot of racial tension, they might consider moving to another location if that is possible, but I wouldn't let that issue alone deter me.

To put it simply, if you are HUMAN, you can intermarry.

God made humanity so He calls the shots, NOT us.

Can you please demonstrate in the TOE, where insults are within your rights. Damo, you are allowing your frustrations to give the enemy room.

so yesult your on a mission to save your race your against interracial marragies and i noticed you had a lot to say to his girl

i want to see what sort of christian you are yesult because what you hold on to needs to be rebuked and you need to let god deal with what you are avoiding to nail to the cross

Remember what our Lord said about the mote. You should also allow your bitterness, and anger at those who have been racist towards you to be dealt with by God.

i will come back later on today to see weather you had responded to what i had left in this topic

your just a racist yesult and dont try to deny it in this forum yesult is a jewish name dont expect any special treatment from me yesult

Why are you "picking a fight". This is exactly why I asked that this thread be closed. Your words have not honored God at all. It was only about you. Damo, I love you brother and pray that you are more careful when you are dealing with a fellow saint. Yesult is a brother, deal with him in the love that our Lord Jesus deserves and requires. Allow Christ to be your voice Damo.

You're absolutely correct, ruck; telling someone 'I'm going to insult you and that's my right' flies in the face of the TOS. Too many come to this forum with a chip on their shoulder and, as we all know, that's NOT why Worthy exists. Let the troublemakers go somewhere else to prove their superiority or exercise their bias.

As for the races intermarrying, God put no prohibition on that at all. He only asks that we marry fellow believers. I don't understand why this topic stirs up so much dust.

Damo, my friend...

You know all too well the pain and stupidity of racism. There will always be those who are ignorant and bigoted. Do not endanger your spirit in the Lord by trying to change such foolish people. God will deal with them eventually. One of my favorite quotes...

Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret. ~Ambrose Bierce

God Bless you, brother!!

damo - thanks for supporting me.

Jesus told it how it was - He used the words like "snakes" and "hypocrite" - mind you, He was speaking from absolute truth so when He called them those things, He was pointing out a fact.

I am not saying Yesult is not a racist but I do believe wholeheartedly his views on interracial relationships are off centre completely - if he meant well it certainly didn't come across that way and he in fact came across as belittling.

anyway damo - take a deep breath, walk around the room, shake your hands and touch your toes ten times before you respond..LOL

I don't understand why this topic stirs up so much dust.

Because, IMO, people feel guilty for their ancestors did (white guilt); or have hidden prejudices of their own (such as damo1's stated hatred of white American males) and instead of admitting and dealing with themselves, they slam the racist card into people's faces. Vehemently and violently.
