Does the the Bible make any refrence to interacial marriages?
Is it a sin to marry outside of your race?
I love my fiance very much, but i was just curious.

No it is not a sin to marry outside your race.
God does not see color, he sees your heart. I attend an Assemblies of God church and we have many mixed race marriages and NO ONE i know has a problem with it
especially God. He loves you for who you are and wants you to be happy and fulfilled with each other and with Him.

Moses's wife was an Ethiopian, God never seemed to have a problem with that. On the other hand, interfaith relationships don't get very good reviews. It is not a sin to marry outside of your race, no.

I assure you that the Bible only negatively mentioned what some might mistakenly refer to as "interracial marriages" when it was commanded that we not be unequally yoked. But in that case God was speaking about believers marrying non-believers. Otherwise, God sees no difference in races. My wife is Asian and we're both committed Christians. Also there was many mixed marriages among the believers of Bible days.

God is not against it. We are all his children, and will love us always. If your son or daughter married someone of another race, or did something against your wishes, would that make them no longer your son or daughter? No, of course not, and God loves us no matter what we do wrong. It's about what is in your heart. If you love God, love your partner, and want to be a good person then that's all that matters. Good luck!

there is nothing against interacial marriages - Moses married an African woman - God gives you the choice who to marry He only askes that both are believers

The Bible has no restriction against interracial marriages.

God said don't marry women of that land, because you will believe in their God's, it didn't say because they are of a different race.
So I would say, if that person believes in the same true God as you (hopefully you believe in the real God through Jesus) then it should be ok.
I don't think race matters too much to God, but of course, I think he would rather that people not mix up, but most important is that you don't believe in a false God.

Moses was married to an Ethiopean.
No, of course not. To God there is no race or gender. We are all the same.

I could swear I remember hearing something about the goat laying with the sheep. Or something like that....
But no one except a moron would translate that into a racial statement, so I expect you're good to go!

Don't worry about that. I'm marrying my asian/caucasian man on 6/21. It's also "wrong" for women to wear dresses. If you do every single thing you read in the bible, trust me, you will be seen as insane by most.
