is inner-racial dating not in the bible?

Answer 1

Ruth and Boaz...Moses and Zipporah...Esther and the King of Persia...Samson and Delilah...David and his many women...Solomon and his 1000 women...the list is not short of those relationships. Actually there was not a whole lot of dating in the sense we use today...since marriages were arranged there was not much opportunity to get to know your spouse before you ended up being with him or her.
I guess it depends on what your idea of racial is...Moses' wife was a thorn in Miriam's side because she was prejudice against her race...
Jesus opened the door for so much inter-racial relations. The only reason they were told not to marry outside of the Hebrew nation is because they would end up being like Adam...doing what his wife wanted him to do, even if it was disobedience to God.

Answer 2

On the 6th day in Genesis, God created all
the races (ethnos) and He looked upon His creation and saw that it was very, very good. (on the 8th day Adam and Eve came on the scene).
My first point: God loves all the races; he created them exactly as he wished, and He was very pleased with them. They are all
Gods children.

You will hear some people say that God is against mixing races; actually, there are two
prime examples where they come to understand that in error:

First, it was absolutely essential that the lineage, womb-to-womb, not be intermixed
as the Christ child was to come through
a pure KINGLINE and a pure PRIESTLINE. Christ came thru the lines
of the Tribe of Judah (the kingline) and the Tribe of Levite (Priestline) , making him
King and High Priest. This was the reason
that no other was to mix into the line - we are talking about the Christ Child and Prophecy to be fulfilled. It could not be tampered with, or polluted. This has nothing whatsoever to do with one race being better than another. It was about King and
Priest lines.

An example given of inter-mixing is clear in
the Book of Jude, the only Chapter. Angelic Beings left their place of habitation at the time of Noah, and they came to Earth to
seduce and marry human women. Children were being born of these unions. The flood was sent to destroy the influx of these hybrids. But this was about Angelic beings mixing with humans. Thats a no-no.

Inter-racial dating I don't see as a problem,
but remember that its quite hard on children born - my neice is part black and part white and she had a really hard time in school with teasing, etc. - she wasn't being accepted by the blacks and she wasn't being accepted by the whites; she was a very lonley little girl growing up. Now that she's 20 years old, though, she looks like an exotic queen you would see in a movie,
and she's an ice skating champion to boot.
Wow, what an amazing person...
Sorry, I rambled....
Just remember that it is sometimes hard on the family; but these days, if your inner-racial dating idea is male/female, you're
already cool in my book. It used to be
a problem for both races of families because of predjudice, but I think now a mom and dad would be happy if you just
date in the opposite sex, quite frankly.
Date different people; enjoy your youth;
don't get serious too quickly, take your time.
When that perfect person shows up (and its usually when you are NOT LOOKING) then you'll know it, and nothing in the world will keep the two of you apart; not race, not family, not anything.
Believe me, I know, my spouse and I had to move mountains to be together - mountains that looked unmoveable - but we moved them and now we feel so strong that no
problem that occurs is really a problem for us; we've been to boot camp sort a speak,
ya know? Our relationship is way stronger
as a result of it. Thats something to consider. Best of luck.

Answer 3

Joseph and Rebecca,
INTERRACIAL?
The Daughter of Eve and the Nephilim?

Technically, the Bible didn't view the race thing like we do (backwards), Noah's sons Ham, Shem and Japeth, are the founders of the races. Semetic comes from Shem, as does Chemistry, byt way of Egypt.

This was taught to my father in the 1930's as The Caucausoids, Negroids, and Mongoloids(asians).

Of course now we know better.
It's less interracial and more incest, Bible and Biology.

I am assuming inner-racial was a typo. That would mean only dating other black people.

Abraham's concubine was Haggar, Hajar. She was possibly Somolian or Ethiopian by some accounts, but probably Arabic, and by our modern standards looked much like Abraham (people didn't travel very far back then, supposedly, except in large group migrations).

Her son, Ishmael was Abraham's first son, and it is believe by Islam that it was he who was offered to God and not Issac.

Hajar is buried at Islam's most holy site, the Ka'aba which was (re)built by Abraham and Ishmael. Muslims also reinact her searching for water by running between two hills.

It is extremely important to note however that the majority of the Bible is indeed:

RACIAL AND CULTURAL WARFARE!
Cain and Abel, Jericho, Occupation of Jerusalem by Rome in Jesus' Time, The Canaanites in Egypt, The Babyloian Occupation, Samson, David and Goliath,...even Revelation, which is yet to be.

Answer 4

The only reference for interracial dating in the Bible is when Israel was not NOT to marry into the pagan tribes of the land for fear they would turn to idolatry, as they did. It is found in Ezra 9:14,
It says, shall we break your commandments again and intermarry with the peoples who practice these abominations? Would you not be angry with us until you consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape?

It is not a sin for any race to marry another race, God doesn't want us mixing darkness with light. The sin would be for a believer to marry a non believer.

Point: Interracial marriage is not a sin. Only racist or those taught in ignorance of scripture press the issue.

Answer 5

Moses married an Ethiopian woman.

Israel was suppose to marry other Israeli's. I believe Ethiopians are actually descendants of Abraham though, from his wife after Sarah died.

As Christians, we are saved people from all nations. We are only suppose to marry people of same faith in Jesus Christ. To not be unequally yoked. It doesn't matter what race a person is. Just that if one is a born again Christian, one should marry another born again Christian.

Answer 6

We are all Descendants from Adam and eve. After the flood we continued to be decedents of Noah and his family. There is only one race that is the human race. I do agree that children can be cruel and a interracial child can go through prejudices that can be damaging.

Answer 7

As a matter of fact Moses wife was a black woman.His sister had a problem with that and God turned her into a leper.I guess He figured if she didn't like black then she might like to be "really white", Numbers 12. Enjoy!

Nikki, I hope and pray that you have excepted Jesus as your Lord and King.He loves you very much.

Answer 8

The King James version of the bible makes no reference to inter-racial marriage / dating being a sin.

Answer 9

The only caveats in both the Old and New Testaments have to do with a person's relationship with God. The godly cannot be yoked with the ungodly. Race and skin color have no bearing.

Answer 10

Moses had an Ethiopian wife. I'd say God didn't have much of a problem with it, for He didn't threaten to strike Moses dead if he didn't divorce her or anything.
