I first want to mention I am of three races, and I am proud of that! I have never known God to consider it a sin for people to date outside their race/heritage. I was born to many righteous relatives. But someone on here claimed that it's mentioned in the Bible we are not to mix seed, we should stay with "our own kind"! I don't buy it for a second! If that were true, I would need solid evidence, like what and where is the scripture? The God I know and believe does not condemn interracial relationships. Who agree with me here?
I been reading the Bible, and I haven't seen any mention of it being a sin.

I like that statement, Sun Eagle!
Human is Human! It matters not what race we are, we are all Human! Like that one saying: There's only one race and that is the human race! No one has a problem with cats of two different breeds mixing and no one has a problem with two dogs of different breeds mixing, so why have a problem when humans do it?

The old testament was types and shadows, and the book of hebrews explains that.
GOD told them not to mix seeds when planting an illustration of not mixing falsehoods with truth(read JESUS parable about the tares and wheat) and it also means not to marry people outside of your faith.
GOD told the Israelites NEVER to intermarry with heathens and pagans , NOT because of skin color, for many of the people they were told NOT to marry were the SAME color.
It was ALWAYS over their faith.GOD didnt want them to end up like Solomon did yrs later after GOD gave the command Solomon broke.
GOD knew it would lead HIS people into worhsipping false gods and demonic religions that required human sacrifice( a lot of babies died that way).
The new testament says "be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers".
It isnt about races, but faith.King Davids grandmother was not a hebrew(Israelite), and there's other examples.Ruth was a moabite but was in David's family lineage and the moabites were not liked by GOD but she was accepted because she became a follower of the one true GOD.

The mention of mixing seeds is in the Old Testament, which most Christians accept are laws only for Jews. The Ancient Jews, being a minority struggling for survival, had lots of rules about keeping things separate and unadulterated.

Sweetie who Is of one True Race ?
Certainly not me,I'm part Cherokee Indian and Irish (my friend tells me because of my temper).
Sowing your ground with mixed seeds Is what the Bible Is talking about.
Moses married a woman of color (outside his race).
God created our bodies to be fed with the food He produced. Hybrid foods won't feed your body they go In an cause havoc.Our liver Is designed to perform over 500 functions In a few minutes upon eating food. The liver being designed by God,It knows where to send the nutrients to feed your body. If It's something It doesn't recognize as a food source It stores It In the fat cells.Therefore wrecking havoc In your body.
God knows what feeds our body,He created It.
As for marrying someone outside of your race.
Girl,who Is a true race ?
Blessings to you...

God does not worry about things that have little moral relevancy. What count to a good, and very moral God, is whether someone contribute positively to the greater good of society, by helping to solve the serious problems that exist, so that we have a better tomorrow. If we do good things in this world, who we love will not be considered negative.

It is not against God's law for people of different color to mix and marry. God wants us to marry other people of the opposite sex who are of the same belief in Jesus Christ. Color does not enter into anything there. Whoever said God does nto want it has most likely never read the bible. God bless us all.

Bear in mind that the Bible was largely cobbled together to support the imperial ambitions of King Josiah of the 7th Century BCE. As is the case with any attempt to generate enthusiasm for empire, a great deal of "us vs them" mentality is a core ingredient. Xenophobia is a key element to war-mongering.

People often mistake this part of the Bible as meaning that you should not date or marry people outside of your "race."
However, this part of Scripture is dealing with dating or marrying people who do not share your faith is Christ.
God created everyone, and there is obviously nothing wrong with dating or marrying anyone of any skin tone -- as long as they are of the opposite sex. The Bible DEFINITELY has something to say about that issue.

The Old Testament says:
Deu 22:9 Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled.
But it is talking about planting seeds, not human beings. Whoever told you mixing "seeds" of humans is wrong was simply trying to condone their own prejudice.

If you`re three races how can you stay with your own kind. I`m mulatto (black/white) so it would be impossible for me.
Whether it says this in the bible or not, it really doesn`t matter. The Bible is silly. What lead you to believe in such a thing?

Why care about a silly book? I believe in the Human species. That is that. Color, race, religion, political affiliation, none of those matter to me. If I like the woman I ask her out.
