If god wanted interracial to be ok, why didnt he make us all the same color to begin with??\n\nI think racial mixing is wrong, god wanted us to be sepereate and we should follow his will

Maybe for the same reason he made us different genders. I think he intended for the 2 sexes to "mix", so why not the different races? We were ALL created the same inside, it is only the color that is different. Maybe he enjoyed creating a rainbow so much (all of those colors blend together and create new colors) so he decided to create a rainbow of colors in people too, hoping that they would mix and create even more colors, just like a real rainbow.\n\nA.H.

I have a inter-racial marriage.... I've dated guys of several different races.... race is just the color of the skin for the most part... each person is different in many ways.... in which the color of their skin does not matter and does not change anything.... I'm white if you look at me... but, when you take history of mankind in to account.... we are all mixed...

Go where you feel comfortable,...but most of all, go where Gods truth is taught and not mens doctrines and traditions of men. I believe that God loves the differences in His peoples and races and He loves to listen to the music of His children when they praise Him in worship. It's not wrong for you at all to have a kinship and feel a belonging with a certian race of people.  God loves all the races and all are His children.

Nothing is wrong with it, but some people feel that it is like mixing two different species, as it sounds like you dad thinks. Some people have latent racial bias and some don't.

You can't turn into a black person if your white and vice versa.  By the way, the bible is all up for interpretation.  A better question is do you feel comfortable being with somebody of a different race.

Does the Bible state certain people should not exist?\n\nSatan is brilliant when it comes to orchestrating deception. He has managed to persuade people to make problems when there need be none. No more effectively has He did this than with "race." Satan has deceived people into making "race" a problem by simply defining it as one. The premise usually goes something like this: "God never intended the mixing of the races." The inference is that there are four distinct races and that being in any group other than one of those distinct four "races" constitutes a genetic and aesthetic disadvantage. A person (influenced by Satan) makes the statement, convinces himself that it represents God's point of view and then connects "imagined" negative consequence to what he despairingly terms "race mixing." Since God is supposedly behind the argument, if you or I disagree with the premise, we are disagreeing with God! Who would dare disagree with God? Of course the Bible points out that many will come in Christ's name saying Christ is the Christ and deceive many (Matt. 24:4-5). And, they will kill you and think they do God a service. So, we had better ask ourselves if these ideas really represent God? \n\nThe holder of the argument goes about gathering "data" to support his premise. He usually finds what He is looking for. If evidence doesn't exist he can always "define" it into existence. "Look at the 'race' riots. Look at the 'racial' problems that exist all around the world. Blacks kill whites and whites kill blacks. Therefore, there is a race problem." The average non-thinking person usually swallows this argument. However, if it was pointed out that "blacks" kill "blacks" and "whites" kill "whites" that might infer that "race" was not the causative factor. Killing and hatred are not confined to "racial types." Japanese kill Japanese as do Germans kill Germans. Hatred it seems is not the exclusive domain of "race." Cain killed Abel. What did that have to do with "race?"

they were just chosen. if race is such a menial issue then why did it matter what race they were? i tell you what would have been racist, if they had chosen the children, seen that they were all white and then gone out of their way to find a black/asian/hispanic child. tokenism should be discouraged.

And the war over slavery was bloody.  how is this god the same yesterday, today and forever?\n\nslavery is not condemned as hellish, it says,\n\n" do not become slaves of men " and then " slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. "\n\nand how does that work out for you?  submitting to the harsh?\n\nUD:\n\nahc24- you are mad!

I don't know why either.  I am in an interracial marriage, and am very happy with it.  Sure, there are people who do not agree with our relationship, but we don't care.  "They don't pay our bills."\n\nIt astounds me at times how people will go out of their way to rationalize their prejudices.  They say, "Interracial relationships are wrong because society will be very hard on an interracial couple."  Society is hard on everybody.  If it's not about your race, it will be about something else.  Life is not fair, and fair is not equal.  But life is beautiful, and I agree with you-- all people are beautiful.

maybe there is not as much black on black love, because people aren't as racist as you and believe in relationships with other races, religions, and social status.  We are one world, and love is love. why do you care about the colour of someones skin?

To some families race is important.  If you read the bible, you will see why some families believe that races should not mix.  He is not the one with the problem.  It seems to be his family.  If he is not strong enough to break it to his family...he is not strong enough to be in an interracial relationship.

EXCELLENT QUESTION!\n\nI find it funny when people say they don't care what color God is but still say what color they BELIEVE He is. I personally am not concerned with what color GOD is. He has appeared in the Bible as a burning bush, as the voice in silence, as a dove, etc. Even in determining what color JESUS was as God in human form on Earth proves what? People will try to use the race card to prove which race should be superior, or to prove that slavery was justified, or to prove any number of things. The important thing is, God thought enough of us to come into the world in human form to redeem the world. Case closed.

I hope it would'nt be too different.I would like to think that every slave would've came to their senses and beat the hell out of every white person who tried to control them.No matter what year we live in or whatever happened in history,there will always be racism.And that sucks...we're all red inside,color is only skin deep.

there's nothing wrong with interracial relationships... if people don't like it..tough... just remember the culture and religion are issues among people...and remember to just ignore the people that stare... people only hate what they don't understand... remember that... people got to learn that the worlds changing... they need to learn to accept that there are going to be gay marriages and interracial marriages

Racism is stupid, and anyone with any Biblical understanding knows it. For one, we are all one race, the human race. Some humans just have different features. So what? We all descended from one man, Adam, and also Noah since the flood. We are all relatives in one way or another. Blah! *resists urge to rant*
