As long as you marry within the human race, you are safe.

It seems that you like answer based from the Bible. Well, the Bible never said that a man can be damned in hell by reason of marrying a man or woman of another race. In the Old Testament God warned his people, the Israelites not to marry other than their own race for the main reason that they might be tempted to serve other gods. The consequences of the disobedient would be "cut-off from my people" but there was no mention of a "hell".
Now the Bible introduces only one Way to the Father. Jesus said, "no one can go to the Father except through me" Jn. 14:6. And hell is the place of those who are restricted from the presence of God. Read Rev. 21:7-8.
But it would be good to marry a person of your own religion in which the two of you have no struggle concerning faith. And marry the person you already knew.
Thanks

wow you got lots of people to freak out good question lol, but seriously
No. This thought arises from various verses in the old testment comanding Isreal not to marry other tribes some people who only look at a specific verse instead of the big picture thought that it meant it was a sin to marry someone outside of their own race, but several of the verses that mention marying women from other tribes says because they will make you fall away from God and worship false gods it had nothing to do with race it had everything to do with marrying within your same religion, which it never said you would go to Hell for, but it does say you should do it.

Some southern Christians believe this to promote racism. They do quote some verse in the Bible, but it is very vague and does not state anybody is going to hell. It sound a lot like birds of a feather flock together. Similar to that without the feather and bird stuff.

I do not know that there is racist religion, when God created man and woman I have no seen that there is atribute like black yelow white or red.
Human person has a dignity of God's creation no matter what color or race or nationality it has.
So if you marry out of love your man or woman there is no hell.
But if you marry for some other reason there could be some " hell" in your relationship.
Since I am a catholic , I am obliged to say that applies only for heterosexual realtionships.

No, you don't go to hell for that. You go to hell for failing to place your trust in Jesus Christ. In the Old Testament God commanded the Jews not to marry pagans because they would lead his people to follow their "gods".
In the New Testament we are told that there is no distinction between believers based upon race. We are also told not to marry an unbeliever for the same reason God told the Jews not to marry pagans.
"Do not become unequally yoked with unbelievers; for what participation is there for righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion is there for light with darkness? And what agreement is there for Christ with Belial? Or what part is there for a believer with an infidel? And what union is there for the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God, just as God has said: "I will dwell in them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people." Therefore "Come out from the midst of them and be separated," says the Lord. "Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you." "I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the LORD Almighty." 2 Corinthians 6:14-18

No thats a lie that was started to stop interracial relationships. It think the bible is talking more along the lines of religions and it was said in the old testiment that if the jews would inter marry with the gentiles they would convert them into paganism

Please give Almighty God a little credit.Have you seen the child's toy where you have to put the round peg in the round hole and the square peg in the square hole?Well when it comes to people he made it where any peg fits any hole so if he did not want you to marry or have children by anyone other than your own color don't you think that he is smart enough to have made the black peg to not fit the white hole?You just use the common sense that the good lord gives each of us and don't let others live your life for you.

The original doctrines probably forbid such a thing. In fact, you probably are an enemy if your not an Israelite. Which is the righteous path? Shunning everybody not of your creed, or loving people of diverse origins? Clearly, to believe in Heaven and Hell is an act of hatred and bigotry. You automatically categorize everyone as either "us" or "them"...are "they" going to prosper with me and my righteous way because I'm right, or are they hell bound?

No way! The only way you can go to hell is if you don't believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and make him Lord of your life. God created all of the races and he probably gave this person to you to love and be loved by.
