Bible Question:
Does the bible say God is against interacial marriage? |
Bible Answer: Greetings RubyAnn! Kalos offered this post in a previous question about marriage. I don't think that God had in mind interracial marrige here - for there is no distinction between pepoles with Him other than some are saved sinners and some are lost sinners! "Can people who follow the Lord have anything in common with those who don't?" 2 Corinthians 6:14-15 The Message (MSG) 2 Corinthians 6 14 Don't become partners with those who reject God. How can you make a partnership out of right and wrong? That's not partnership; that's war. Is light best friends with dark? 15 Does Christ go strolling with the Devil? Do trust and mistrust hold hands? Contemporary English Version (CEV) 2 Corinthians 6 14 Stay away from people who are not followers of the Lord! Can someone who is good get along with someone who is evil? Are light and darkness the same? 15 Is Christ a friend of Satan? Can people who follow the Lord have anything in common with those who don't? New Living Translation (NLT) 2 Corinthians 6 14 Don't team up with those who are unbelievers. How can goodness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? 15 What harmony can there be between Christ and the Devil? How can a believer be a partner with an unbeliever? mommapbs continues: This principle was in effect in the Old Testament as well as Israel was warned not to intermarry with those outside of Israel or non-believers.
