No, I see nothing in the bible showing that interracial marriages are wrong.

It is absolutley NOT sinful. God made us all the same. There are interacial relationships in the Bible that were blessed by God! I have study this subject because I am in an interacial relationship and am a Christian. Poeple have tried to say that it is wrong, but can never show me scripture to support this. I can show scripture to show that it is fine! :)

God sees nothing wrong with interacial marriages. Moses David and Solomon married outside their races. What God doesnt want is interfaith marriages. This can put a great strain on people and the marriage. Something will suffer, either the faith or the marriage itself. I am Christian, if I was to marry a Muslim, we couldnt live happily together if we both stay faithful to our beliefs in God because they're so different. If my muslims wife read and believed her Quran, she would believe I was an infidel and would have to convert or be destroyed by Islam. If I read and believed my Bible, I would believe my wife needed forgiveness through Christ to get to Heaven. For us to be able to live comfortably with eachother, both would have to give up the faiths. Which of course God doesnt want.
He doesn't care where you are from or what color your skin is, only what you do with Him and His Word.

No, He doesn't. I certainly hope not, anyway, because my fiancee is white and I am not.
There's nothing in the Bible that says interracial relationships/marriages are sinful.
There is something in one Old Testament verse about the Israelites not marrying foreign wives -- but that only applied to a particular point in history and for a particular reason. It's certainly not an across-the-board condemnation.
Not to mention, it only speaks of the Israelites not marrying foreign wives -- it doesn't say anything, one way or another, about anyone's skin color. Just nationality.

No I don't think God sees interracial relationships as sinful. We probably all come from an interracial relationship anyway. I could be wrong but I think the only way you're going to get any color in between black and white is to start off with black and white. So if Eve was black then Adam had to be white (or vice versa).
Pretty cool...eh?

No. God does NOT see it as a sin.
God does not care about what is on the outside, the color of skin. God sees the heart, with all its motives and intents.
Jesus Christ, in more than a couple places recorded in the Bible, actually showed anti-prejudice.
If it makes sense, He hates hate without a righteous reason.

We are all his children. He treats us all the same, so how can interacial relationships be sinful.?
Racial issues are just man-made. AS they only see the different colour skin and hair. But that is only bodily conception, as we are all spirit souls and souls are not from different races.

The only restriction God placed upon whom one should or should not marry is found at 1Corinthians 7:39. Marry only in the Lord. Christians are commanded to marry other believers.

We are all gods children, there is only one race, The Human Race. so to God interacial doesn't exist , only his flawed children suffer using that distiction.

According to the bible (and science- mitochondrial eve) we are all of one blood. We have different cultures, beliefs and different physical charachteristics but we are all humans. So why would God be against it, it's just coloring of the skin.

No, of course not! We are all children of God, just from different areas of the world, why would that matter?
