I asked for the KJV Bible Believers because that is the bible I know and trust. Not saying others is wrong or that mine is better or worser than others. However it is the bible I use. For the person who got upset over that Forgive me I am not perfect. But I really don't feel bashing my bible was any better of you seems my request was not to bash another persons Bible but to help me in reading about what people reference me to.

Your questions has been answered quite well here. Do not marry within the Heathen nation meaning do not marry an unbeliever and homosexuality is condemned by God and those partaking of that choice will be judged by God and have to answer to Him.

I am not sure that there is anything in the Bible about marrying someone from another race. It was certainly done in the Bible, even Moses married a Cushite woman whom we believe would have been black.
As far as homosexuality it is presented as a sin which the Bible says comes when God gives people up to it. Roman1:26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

those human beings might desire to study that KJV that they love plenty! it style of feels that they seem to have by some ability misinterpreted the Shakespearian grammar. heavily however, there are 2 camps of KJV human beings: One is the traditionalist who loves it because of the fact there's a sentimental tie to it and the conviction that it relatively is a holier language (ever observed how they slip into KJV talk whilst they pray?), and secondly there is the student who appreciates the literalism of the KJV. the student who's relatively spiritually minded could be against the NIV because of the fact lots of its translators are liberals and because they used a gadget of textual criticism which surely says that there are adjustments of which ability in historical manuscripts (it is why your NIV ability that maximum early manuscripts don't have the final component of Mark). i like the KJV's accuracy and poetry, yet in addition like the easy English of the NIV. If I have been analyzing a particular passage i might seem at the two and then refer the the important Greek words, tenses etc. are you able to believe the NIV? with the aid of make larger sure, in spite of the undeniable fact that it relatively is often good to look on the KJV, and the hot KJV for clarification.

The bible says not to be unequally yoked (2 Corin 6:14). That means don't marry someone who is not a believer if you are. That doesn't mean you can't marry a person from another race, if they are a Christian.

Romans 1 talks about homosexuality being a sin.

The Old Teatament told the Jewish Nation NOT to marry outside of their race. This was prior to Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. After he was taken into heaven the Apostles preached at Pentecost and over 3000 were baptized there. The NT does not say that we may or may not marry outside of our race at this time. The question of homosexual behavior is covered in the Old and New Testament. It is wrong. I believe that you will find reference to it in one of the books of Timothy. These are good books to read and study as you find the time. Have a great week.

No Bibles say anything about marrying outside your race, not even the KJV.

Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.


And also read Romans 1, its too long to post

I just did a search of the entire KJV Bible using the word Race, here's the results.

Psalm 19:5
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
Psalm 19:4-6 (in Context)

Ecclesiastes 9:11
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Ecclesiastes 9:10-12 (in Context)

1 Corinthians 9:24
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
1 Corinthians 9:23-25 (in Context)

Hebrews 12:1
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Hebrews 12:1-3 (in Context)

Needless to say, the search for marry was much bigger. Here's the link for those results.

I married a Peruvian. Believe me, I think God loves our marriage.

The bible talks about homosexuality in Leviticus. This is an old testament book that christians don't like any more (see they can even choose to ignore books that are still included in the bible these days). It is right next top the bit that says you can't eat shellfissh and the other bit that says you can't wear clothes of mixed materials. (you can see why they would rather igniore poor old Leviticus now)

There was a time when God instructed the people of Israel not to marry the daughters of other heathen nations. The main idea behind this was to keep idolatry out of Israel. There were exceptions made to this rule, and there were many instances when they broke this rule and suffered terribly for it - an example of which being when Solomon took many wives of different nations and began to worship their idols. God divided the nation of Israel into two separate kingdoms because of that. But we are living in the New Testament these days, and we are not required to follow every commandment that God ever gave to Israel. That in itself is a topic of discussion that goes around and around in this forum, but for the sake of answering your question we won't go into that now. There is nothing in the New Testament condemning intermarriage with people of other races. And it is a good thing because I have numerous friends in my church who are mixed-race couples. As for homosexuality, this is clearly condemned several times in the New Testament, most notably in Romans chapter one. Homosexuality is an abomination before God, because it is a corruption of the glory of His image in man. He created us in the image of His glory, and He created sexual intercourse to be between a man and a woman. It is stated many times in the New Testament that the only acceptable form of sexual intercourse between a man and a woman is within the covenant of marriage. All else is referred to as "fornication."

Why on earth would you only care about anwers from one translation, and not a very good one at that?

The Bible is not one book, but a library of writings and says different things in different places. Taking it literally is doomed from the onset, after all there are two very different creation stories just in Genesis.

I'll quote you word for word everything Jesus says about homosexulaity or marriage outside your race, though.

Here it is:

" _________________________ "

That's correct, nothing at all. Jesus told us the important things were to love God and our neighbors as ourselves. Be faithful to those commandments and you are following the right path.
