I've read the Bible a lot and have never seen anything that bans interracial marriage.
However!
Both need to be of the same faith, religion or spiritual path....

The Bible does not ban interracial marriage. It does however go against being yoked together with unbelievers. It doesn't matter what color your mate is, but his faith does matter. So if you are a Christian, marry another Christian.

That is totally ridiculous the bible does not ban interracial marriage.
However God did forbid the Israelites (Jews) from marrying other people groups. This was because he knew it would draw them away from him. Racists have probably used the passages out of context to say interracial marriage is wrong.
But now days there are many people of every race who Christians. As long as you marry someone who is equally developed in their relationship with Christ, it doesn't matter what their race, heritage or background is.

No
God approves of interracial marriage.
Here is proof.
Moses married an Ethopian woman. Moses sister objected and God turned her into a leper. If God was against interracial marriage he would have turned Moses into a leper.

I do not believe that it bans interracial marriage..they talk about being unevenly yoked, but that is referring to a person who is a Christian, apposed to a person who is against religion..and it can make for a terrible union..But, we all become one in God and Jesus,..with our beliefs, and it says NOTHING about interracial marriages...it does say it is better for a man to marry than to burn with lust, but it don't say except if he is a white guy and wants to marry a woman of color ...good luck and best wishes, if you are referring to you and God Bless

the bible doesn't ban interracial marriage. unfortunately, there are a lot of rumors which circulate about the bible, a lot of them have no evidence.

No. There is only one Race in the Bible- the human race. All the rest is cultural.
Don't discount the cultural effects of your decision to date a different race. Family and friends are an important part of a relationship. If your family accepts it or not, don't expect them to change-ever. Plan accordingly

The bible does not ban inter-racial marriage. it tells us what types of acts are sins. like homosexuals getting married. their acts are sins. i have nothing against the people, just their acts. if a white male/female wanted to get married to a black person of the opposite gender, God would not dissaprove. if however a white male/female got married to a black person of the same gender, He would be angered. so to answer your qustion, there is nothing wrong with it, so long as it follows the bible's outlines.
