Bible Question: I would like to know what people think about interacical dating or marrying. Is it against the Bible |
Bible Answer: Greetings, In the Old Testament, God commanded the Israelites not to intermarry with people of foreign nations, but we saw that "racial purity" was never the issue. The reason for this command was because the Israelites would turn from God and begin serving foreign gods, which is exactly what happened. In the New Testament, there is only one command concerning whom Christians can marry: A Christian must marry another Christian. When Christian marriages are mentioned in the New Testament, nothing is ever said about Christian husbands and wives being from the same race, the same skin color, the same nation, the same culture, etc. Based on all of this evidence, I don't see anything Scripturally wrong with interracial marriage among Christians.
