Thirdly, how do you come to the conclusion that only one is "straight"? - Nolan |

Greetings gpaulturner, How do you come to the conclusion that the Song of Solomon is a work of fiction just because it is not a narrative (like Genesis)?

55 | Is Interracial marriage Bible supported? | Num 12:1 | Makarios | 3706 | ||
Is Interracial marriage supported in the Bible? I have completed a study tonight after recently wondering if the Bible supports or does not support marriage between two people of a different race (I am referring to a Male/Female marriage of course, since homosexuality and lesbianism is forbidden [Gen. 19:5; Lev. 18:22-23,20:13; Deut. 23:17; Judg. 19:22-24; 1 Kings 14:24,15:12; Rom. 1:24-27; 1 Cor. 6:9-10]. Polygamy is also forbidden [Lev. 18:18; Deut. 17:17; Titus 1:6]). Now you must understand me: I have a great and healthy respect for all people since we are all one in Christ (Gal. 3:28). In fact, skin color is the Creator's choice (Jer. 13:23), and a black man named Simon (of Cyrene, which was a city in North Africa) helped Jesus carry His cross (Mark 15:21). I have many friends who are of a different race than I am and that is not the aim or goal of this study. My question is: Does the Bible permit people of different race to intermarry? First of all, there are situations in the Bible that condemn interracial marriage. Isaac sought a wife from his own father's family (Gen. 24:1-4) and so did Jacob (Gen. 27:46-28:2). The Israelites were commanded not to intermarry (Ex. 34:16; Deut. 7:3-4; Ezra 9:1-2,12; Neh. 10:30, 13:23-27; Josh. 23:12-13), but this was mostly on the basis of leading the people astray through foreign gods (Mal. 2:11; Deut. 17:17; 1 Cor. 7:39). However, God did permit the Israelites to marry foreign women in other situations: captives from war (Deut. 21:10-13), and because of a 'shortage' of women (Judges 21:21-23). Timothy, the youthful early church leader, was a half-Jew (Acts 16:1) and Moses's wife Zipporah was an Ethiopian woman (Num. 12:1). The Bible does not clearly state whether or not God's people should marry interracially, but it does say that the partner should be a believer in Christ (1 Cor. 7:39, 2 Cor. 6:14). It is interesting to note that all nations and people are important to God (Amos 9:7) and having black skin is beautiful (Song Of Solomon 1:5-6). Jesus usurped the racist traditions of the Israelites (Matt. 15:21-28; Luke 10:25-37) and the Bible even speaks of 'hatred without reason' (Psalm 69:4) and anti-Semitism (Esther 3:8-9, 5:10-14). Also, Gentiles are despised, the Israelites are despised (Gen. 43:32) and foreigners are excluded from fellowship (Neh. 13:1-3). The Bible also encourages freedom from slavery (1 Cor. 7:21; The book of Exodus) In conclusion, interracial marriage is not against the will of God based upon the Bible. It remains a question of being yoked/unequally yoked in fellowship with God Himself and choosing a husband/wife that will help you to enrich your walk in the Lord (1 Cor. 7:35). I wanted to share this with you, since I was wondering what the Bible specifically said about such things. Feel free to tell me how you agree/disagree. |

57 | Caleb from the tribe of Judah? | Num 13:6 | Makarios | 225885 | ||
Caleb was one of the two spies (Joshua was the other) in Numbers 13:1-14:30 who brought back a good report from the land with the recommendation of attacking it with the Lord's help and direction. Question: If Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite (Numbers 32:11), was a Gentile (actually, from an Edomitish tribe - Genesis 15:19), then how is it that he represents the tribe of Judah (as a spy) in Numbers 13:6? | ||||||
58 | Was the serpent being worshipped? | Num 21:8 | Makarios | 9183 | ||

59 | How should be interpret Joshua 10:12-14? | Josh 10:12 | Makarios | 5107 | ||
How are we to interpret Joshua 10:12-14 when Joshua asks the Lord to make the sun 'stand still'? Did God prolong the day by some refraction of the sun's rays? I think that God stopped the earth's rotation on its axis. I also think it is interesting that the Amorites worshiped the sun and the moon as deities. Therefore, the TRUE God defeated them through their own 'deities'.. | ||||||
