No, I have never seen anything in the bible pertaining to interracial dating and marriage. I believe that you love who you love and if the person is good to you and good for you that their race nor their skin color should stop you two from being happy together!

In regards to the marrying outside of the Jewish race, there were ways for one to become a Jew back then, as is shown in the Book of Ruth.
I dont think theres anything to exclude marriage though. Therefore I would say the Bible is more concerned with Marriage being profaned rather than who cannot Marry.

Many, many times in the Old Testament, God specifically tells the Israelites not to intermarry with other people. However, I am not sure how that would relate to the new covenant of the "gospel" being available to all people after the Jews rejected Jesus' ressurrection. I would interpret it to mean that interracial marriage is now okay, but probably still not the best idea.

Honestly I am not sure if the bible says anything like that and I don't find myself to be that religious. But I do not see a problem with it and I think that it is fine as long as those people are happy together. When you find someone that you love it is hard to change that no matter what the situation says that is why my favorite movie is Save The Last Dance.

Song of Solomon is believed to be a black lady and a white man. Moses married an Ethiopian as at least a second wife and was critisized by his sister who became ill until he prayed for her. I personally don't cross over in the races.

i don't know if it does or not, i'm sure it does but it also says crap about stoning people and women submitting to men and women wear long hair and skirts all the time, so... all depends on what you believe.
Interracial dating and marriage doesn't bother me. i could care less what other people do. you can't help who you fall in love with. plus, interracial kids are usually soooo cute :)

The Christianity is claimed to be a universal faith for all nations. Hence, the Bible would not have any discrimination on the basis of a race or colour.. for any interpersonal interaction.

Somewhere in the Bible it tells you that Moses married an Ethiopian woman, she was of the black race. If you chose to date or marry outside of your race and it makes the both of you happy, who cares?You have all the other races doing it!
