Subject: Interracial marriages? Bible says what? |
Bible Note: The "mixed marriages" comment was in the context of the question about the scriptural propriety of inter-racial marriages alone, as opposed to mixed marriages based on different religious backgrounds - which would include the scriptures you just cited. The Israelites weren't forbidden to marry a non-Isaraelite, just because their skin color was "Asian or Black". However, they were forbidden to marry non-Israelites because - to state it simply - they were not of the same religion, although some transgressed that law. So, within that context (the context that we often hear spoken about today), the Bible doesn't speak of inter-racial marriages. We see many inter-racially mixed Christian marriages today and the Bible doesn't speak one way or the other about the scriptural correctness of this - it's totally silent, and that along with Acts 10:34,35 should tell us something. Hope that clarifies things... |
