Is mixing races wrong in God's eyes?

Question

I was wondering......does the Bible suggest that mixing races is wrong? If so, can someone please tell me the verse?

Answer 1

God forbid the Jews from intermarrying in the old testament. How that applys today though is not a racial thing. The word of God allows marriage between believers and says not to become unequally yoked with non-believers. I personally feel that as long as marriage is desired between a man and a woman and it falls within the admonishment not to be unequally yoked then it is OK. However the two must bear in mind the world in which we live is not one where life would be easy. Its not whether or not interracial marriage is right or wrong so much as is your love willing to withstand the troubles inherent in a society of hate and intolerance for anything not living up to a standard designed by those who look for reasons to hate?

Answer 2

Mixing races is not wrong in God's eyes. It is God who made humanity in His own image. Although no one is sure how the different races originated, we all have our humanity in common. The out dated taboo against "race mixing" has no place in the Bible, or in a persons life.

P.S. I'd like to person who said the Bible is a work of fiction to intellectually research it's origins and it's teaching. I challenge him to objectively make the effort to scrutinize and research it and then see if his claim that it is fiction still stands.

Answer 3

If it was wrong God would have done something when he created us so that the mxing of races couldn't happen. First cousins marrying is wrong because the kids can cxome out all screwed up. Monkeys and dogs cant mate because there is something wrong with it. A Chinese person and a White person coming together is right if the two people feel that it is right because nothing bad comes of it.

Answer 4

NOpe!


All the people on this planet Earth are descendants from the first couple -
Adam and Eve. We are ALL just shades of that same colour !

Hold a sheet of Real White and Real Black paper up against your skin.
I can tell you "for certain" that your skin colour matches neither of these
paper colour samples. We are all "off white - or - BROWN !

WE ARE ALL OF THE SAME COLOUR because we are all indeed
descendants of that couple. Because of protective pigmentation we
are of different shades indeed.

What a beautiful example of how OUR MAKER designed us and built
a protective system into our skins to protect us from the suns rays !

Few people realize that The Bible does not say anything in opposition to
what is referred to as "mixed marriages". This is precisely why.

If "mixed marriages" do not work in our society, as it is today, it is because
of the arrogance of man. To "prove" superiority they often use gross
misinterpretations of Bible passages or misapply a Bible passage to
make it look like it proves them correct.

Answer 5

The Bible doesn't seem all that fond of black people at all according to these passages:


2 Nephi 5:21 "And he [God] had caused the cursing to come upon them ... wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them."

Moses 7:22 "And Enoch also beheld the residue of the people which were the sons of Adam; and they were a mixture of all the seed of Adam save it was the seed of Cain, for the seed of Cain were black, and had not place among them."

Abraham 1:21-26 "Now this king of Egypt was a descendant from the loins of Ham, and was a partaker of the blood of the Canaanites by birth. From this descent sprang all the Egyptians, and thus the blood of the Canaanites was preserved in the land. The land of Egypt being first discovered by a woman, who was the daughter of Ham, and the daughter of Egyptus, which in the Chaldean signifies Egypt, which signifies that which is forbidden; When this woman discovered the land it was under water, who afterward settled her sons in it; and thus, from Ham, sprang that race which preserved the curse in the land. Now the first government of Egypt was established by Pharaoh, the eldest son of Egyptus, the daughter of Ham, and it was after the manner of the government of Ham, which was patriarchal. Pharaoh, being a righteous man, established his kingdom and judged his people wisely and justly all his days, seeking earnestly to imitate that established by the fathers in the first generations, in the days of the first patriarchal reign, even in the reign of Adam, and also of Noah, his father, who blessed him with the blessing of the earth, and with the blessings of wisdom, but cursed him as pertaining to the Priesthood.


Can't imagine why mixing races would be okay in the Bibles eyes.


Of course it's all nonsense, so you should pick a boyfriend/girlfriend/mate because you like them, not because of their race!

Answer 6

It's only wrong if you mix with someone outside the human race

Answer 7

Would you marry someone who's a quarter black, or an eighth chinese? What about a dark-skinned Italian? Or someone who looks just like you, but enjoys Native American status?

None of us are pure, so these lines are very blurry anyway. . .and the Bible doesn't object to "inter-racial" mixing (no matter what someone may post here).

The differences are all in our mind, follow your heart.

Answer 8

Your speaking about being inconsistently yoked. No. Biracial marriages at the instant are not adversarial to God's regulations. the difficulty falls on the children as a stigma with different children not accepting them in faculties and so on. it ought to correctly be a nasty element to be undesirable.

Answer 9

Why would the Bible say anything like that, we are all created in Gods image, he loves us all!

The only thing that the bible is emphatic about is that we should NOT be unequally yoked

Believer with non-believer!

Answer 10

That is racism and God would NOT support racism...God loves all of his children and is no respector of people...his love does not discriminate at all...

there was a time where the canaanites were not able to marry that of other tribes or cities..but that had to do with CLEANLINESS or worthiness...not race...
