what does the bible say about interacial dating?

there's a passgae in the bible that says "do not be unequally yoked together" (a yoke of oxen=2 oxen that are held together by a wooden harness.  There are some far right wing churches that would translate that to the point of races, when it actually continues to read "with unbelievers". The new testament doesn't really address inter racial marriage to my knowledge.\n\nIn the old testament there are several places that strictly forbid the Isrealites from marrying outside of their race, this was more of a religous reason than anything though.\n\nMost modern churches are very accepting of interracial marriages.

"Everybody waits until marriage to have sex" ? You're kidding around correct? When a woman or man say I Know that person of the opposite sex, and mean that in the biblical sense! That Is Utopia!

Here are some references I found.  I checked for St. Augustine and Romans 7:19.  Hopefully these will help.\n\nhttp://www.erikwait.com/index.cgi?location=8&action=display_one&story_id=39\nhttp://www.geocities.com/Athens/7939/rom7.html\nhttp://www.newadvent.org/summa/108301.htm\nhttp://www.godrules.net/library/arminius/arminius131.htm

**Barbie** 1 corinthians, from the bible, talks about romance. Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 that is the most quotes verse about love from the Bible.

well, I am not married...yet! I am a Christian, and God has definately blessed me. I never seemed to date the right kind of guy, until one day I let my heart get broken. It was then that I gave up being impatient, and gave God total control of my relationships. I wasnt even looking for a relatioonship, seeing how I just had my heart broke. I was online one day, and this random guy instant messaged me, and wanted to talk to me about God. He had seen on my profile that I was a Christian, and was hurting from a broken marriage and needed somenone to talk to that would give him Godly advice. At the moment I put my love life into Gods hands, is the very moment he opened up a new door and showed me the light that lead me out of darkness. Brandon was the guys name, and we started out by being friends and talking about God. He is unlike and other guy I have ever dated, and he is the answer to my life long prayer. I had almost given up on guys altogether, until Brandon walked into my life. He treats me with respect, honor, and loves me for me and the beautiful creation God made me. Although we are not married yet, I am basically waiting for him to propose. I thank God everyday for the gift he has brought into my life; I could never have imagined it would feel this wonderful to be loved.

i'm pretty sure you know the Christian view... this is something i've been thinking about a good bit lately - Genesis talks about 'when a man leaves his parents and basically takes a wife... they live together and become one.. sorry - paraphrasing i dont like... i'll add more as i research\nI'm curious more because of the jewish prophecy concerning the messiah; of a virgin, yet of the line of David. \n& my head hurts.

Yes, if the couple agrees to date one another.\n\nSuch 'uneven yokings' are frowned upon by Jehovah's Witnesses. A Witness who dates outside the religion will lose congregation privileges, but cannot be disfellowshipped. If a minor living at home, the parents are also likely to lose privileges.\n\n(2 Corinthians 6:14) Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers

I agree. very nasty. the Bible says one woman to each man, and vise versa. this is paraphased, of course.

"In the Christian tradition, a "one man one woman" model for the Christian marriage was advocated by Saint Augustine (354-439 AD) with his published letter The Good of Marriage."\n\nThis is the citation for the above quote and a history of marriage:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage\n\nWith all due respect to those who claim the bible supports "one man, one woman," they are incorrect. The alleged father of Jews & Arabs, Abraham had a wife Sarai, and a concubine, Hagar.\n\nThat practice was sanctioned by the bible many times over in later stories.\n\nAnd, Abraham prostituted his wife to the Egyptians. An act which completely negates the idea that the bible considers marriage to be sacred or anything other than just another relationship of convenience.

why not? \n\nThe noble Qur'an, 4:124. "And whoso does good works, whether of male or female, and he (or she) is a believer, such will enter paradise and they will not be wronged the dint in a date stone."

I totally agree. God isn't worried about what race a person is, but he does care what people believe. There are many places in the bible where God warns people not to marry a Canainite woman or a person from whatever country. But the only reason for this was that the specific people God was talking about worshiped other Gods. God did say not to be unequally yoked, meaning believers should not be married with non-believers. But it has nothing to do with race.

Larry is correct. It's in the Bible.

I am mormon but we do believe the bible as well. Here are some of the many scriptures referring to sexual activities and feelings. I hope that this helps. If you are looking for something specific, let me know:\n\nFornication (Sex before marriage):\nAbstain from fornication, Acts 15: 20. \nThe body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, 1 Cor. 6: 13-18. \nTo avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, 1 Cor. 7: 2-3. \nThis is the will of God, that ye should abstain from fornication, 1 Thes. 4: 3.\n\nAdultery (sex with someone other then your legal spouse)\nJames 2: 11\n  11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. \nLev. 20: 10\n  10  And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. \nEx. 20: 14\n  14 Thou shalt not commit adultery. \nDeut. 5: 18\n  18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery. \nProv. 6: 32\n  32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. \n\nLusts of flesh:\n1 Jn. 2: 16-17:  16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world bpasseth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. \nRom. 1: 24, 27\n  24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:   27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. \nGal. 5: 16, 24  16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.  24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. \nJames 1: 14-15  14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. \nMatt. 5: 28  28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. \nGal. 5: 19  19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

matt 5:27-28\n\n "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
