I wouldn't let anything stop me from marrying someone I wanted to marry either.....except that person not being Christian. That just wouldn't be possible.

Guest HIS girl Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 If it was me i wouldnt let it keep me from the one i loved , you know moses was in a interracial marriage. Yes Moses married a black woman that's right but that shouldn't be the "bar" to use to marry someone from outside your race. Just because Moses did it then it's ok. There is absolutley nothing Biblically based saying one cannot marry another person who is racially different. A Biblical marriage union is to be of male and female foremost and for Followers of Christ it is to be a union between 2 Christians who are practising the teachings of Christ.

Would your children be accepted in their country? If not, you might be marrying for the wrong reasons. And Abrahem had concubines, David commited adultery and Jacob stole his brothers birthright. Not everything a person does in the bible is right. Would you like to be half one race and half another? Racial acceptance or non-acceptance aside - would you choose that for yourself? The bible tells us to treat other people the way we would like them to treat us. People can jump on the 'racism' bandwagon very easily over this topic but you're dealing with the life of other human beings, not just your own happiness. And inter-racial marriages affect several generations, not just the children. Have you prayed about it? Why don't you make God lord of the whole thing and give him room to bless or cancel the union? He loves everybody involved in this situation more then anyone else and only wants the best for everybody. He knows what will work and what could eventually cause stress or emotional pain over generations that would be better avoided. Making christ our Lord means making him our master. And he loves everybody, made racial differences for a reason, and doesn't want anyone to suffer unnecessarily. He might ok it and he might not. But he needs to be Lord of all our marriage decisions. (And if we can't trust him in that, how can we even call ourselves his children or servants?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God didn't create the various races at all. Racial differenced were made by man in his pride and selfish ambition. I wouldn't call your position racist so much as misguided. I'm sure that every person who considers marrying another of another race considers and weighs the issues carefully. But you know, the more interracial marriages there are the more the possibility - the probability - of actually looking at the issues of diversity and overcoming racial stigma, misunderstanding, and ignorance. Yes, interracial marriages affect several generations to come. That's a good thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like it at first, but I realize that it is not me and if it is what makes my daughter happy, than I am happy for her. This is an area that I had issues (I'm not a racist by the way, I just don't believe in the mixing of races) and the Lord put it in my face so that I had to deal with it. Obviously, God has no issues with interracial marriage and neither should I. I'm still a "work in progress." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HIS girl Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 There are many interracial unions mentioned in the Bible - God doesn't have issue with it - men do - God made ONE blood - I think if we could see our entire family tree history, we'd be surprised to see exactly who made up the "branches" to make us who we are today.
