Uh, no.
For a long time in this country, most whites believed that interracial unions were wrong because that it what was actively taught in most white churches and schools. These beliefs were part of a larger set of beliefs used to justify slavery and racial subjugation of black people.
Another part of this system of racism was teaching that black people have dark skin because God put a "mark" on us (the myth of Hamm) to punish us for something some ancestor supposedly did. Science later offered valid explanations for the variations in skin color among humans - environmental adaptations. Dark skin is an advantage in environments with long period of intense sunlight like much of Africa. White skin is an advantage in places will less sunlight, colder climates and longer winters.
Science has determined conclusively that human beings are all part of one species that happens to come in many colors. Despite the social divisions that many societies have tried to assign to racial groups, race is really on skin deep. Genetically, we're all very much the same and very much related. All people can trace their ancestry back to a small group of people in Africa. So you and everyone else on the planet are descended rom African people. That being the case, how can it be wrong to go out with someone just because they are of more recent African descent than you?
Your question suggests an understanding of God that more and more people reject. But if you must believe that God "wants" you to do or avoid doing anythng, I'd suggest you try to follow the two great commendments - love God with all your heart, mind and soul and love your neighbor as you yourself wish to be loved.
I don't recall Christ saying anything about not loving people who happen to be a different color than you.

Absolutely not! If that person is the same religion, then go ahead. If anyone bothers you, then they have the problem. Not you. I'm in a mixed relationship myself and so is my friend. No one has ever given us any trouble. Do what your heart wants if this person seems good for you. I hope you will find the one God desires you to have. Oh, if you ever think about having children, I love how people of mixed race look. I've seen many that are very attractive. God Bless!

The only "mix" that the Bible discourages is for believers to marry unbelievers. That is in both the New and Old Testaments. The Bible does not speak against races, just disbelief or disobedience.

No it would not propose against blended relationships, it advises againest blending our faith with yet another faith. a million Corinthians a million:10 "Now I exhort you, brothers, in the process the call of our Lord Jesus Christ which you ought to all communicate in settlement, and that there should not be divisions between you, yet which you would be fitly united interior the comparable ideas and interior the comparable line of theory." Such unity could in no way be executed if the persons did not meet mutually, with the intention to income from the comparable religious feeding software, and admire the business enterprise during which such training exchange into offered. John 17: 20,21 quickly God's Kingdom will wreck the present ungodly device of issues, inclusive of all who do not definitely love God and their fellowman. Daniel 2:40 4; Luke 10: 25-28 God's be conscious supplies you that the survivors would be persons "out of all international locations and tribes and peoples and tongues" Revelation 7: 9 Drawn mutually by using worship of the genuine God, by using religion in Jesus Christ, and by using love for one yet another, they are going to relatively make up a united human family members.

Amanda, I want to believe that your question is just a bad joke!!!
Excuse me for a moment, could you tell me who created the black people, and the red people, and the yellow people, and all the rest of the people? Your answer will surely be "God" for anything else will leave much to be desired.

I couldn't tell you the exact verse, but there is a verse in the Bible that speaks of "keeping the tribes pure". Not sure if that pertains to your question, but I suppose it's all in how you interpret it.

No, it's not. Read the story of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.
Some racist religious zealots will turn the scriptures around to support their theories.

yes it is against the Bible. It's mixing tribes and also you are not equally yoked. That has to do with race, and some other things as well.

No, that is just another attempt at using a religious text to back up personal prejudice.
