I know that in the Muslim religion, it is OK for them to marry someone out of their Arab race as long as their partner "converts", but is there anything that says whites shouldn't marry blacks.....have kids together......etc?

I ask this only because I was raised NOT to do that.....in a Catholic household. Not sure if is was for religious reasons, or because my parents were racist. It wasn't just blacks either.......all races other than my own were included.

No, actually the Bible contains mixed marriages (Moses was one).

I am pretty strict with my daughter she may only marry someone from the human race
Seriously, there is actually reason to believe Moses married a black woman... one of Moses wives was a Cushite which is traditionally from the Ethiopian region
notice Miriam and Aaron critisized Moses wife and the punishment was for Mirian to have skin WHITE with leprousy
there is no serious Biblical reason for two committed Christians of different ethnics backgrounds not to marry... one does have to consider that a Christian should marry another committed Christian and that is quite Biblical and more important ... pme jhas to seriously consider compatability and how differnt backgrounds add interest or bring difficulties... but that is an individual decision

The bible does now no longer say to no longer combine races. God advised the Jews to no longer marry with Gentiles on condition that of beliefs and non secular practices. There are 2 agencies of human beings in line with the bible: Jews and Gentiles. you're one or the option. In Christ, there is not any huge huge difference.

No. Nothing of that nature. God is not concerned about the color of your skin, only the nature of your heart. In the Old Testament God forbade the Israelites from marrying pagan idolaters and in the New testament Jesus told His followers not to be unequally yoked – a Christian and a non-Christian.

God is not a racist. Bible says God is not a respector of persons, which means he doesn't care who or what you are. As long as you follow him.
think about it. God made ALL races. God does not like racism. This is the entire reason for the killing of all the Jews in world war 2.

According to creationists, there were no different races back then, they all developed that skin pigment hyper fast over the past few thousand years depending on the climate they could tolerate.

No that would make the Creator partial. Please read Acts 10: 34,35 and Acts 17:26.
