Bible Question:
There's a verse that says We are all to stay with our own. (not quoted) Does this mean interracial marraige? I thought about it and other than animals we've domesticated all the other ones stay with their own. Such as Robins and Blue Jays. What would be the difference in us? God made us different for some reason. Think maybe we should keep it different. I'm definitely not prejudice, just simply curious. Nesi |
Bible Answer: "What does the Bible teach about interracial marriages? Nothing in the New Testament prohibits interracial marriage. Christians are at liberty to marry whomever they wish--as long as the other person is also a Christian (1 Corinthians 7:39). The Old Testament contained some restrictions on whom the Israelites could marry. These were meant to protect the people of God from pagan influences (Deut. 7:3-4) and to guard the purity of the Aaronic priesthood (Lev. 21:13-14). There were even some strict regulations about inter-tribal marriage, designed to keep the various tribes' inheritance from being lost by intermarriage (Num. 36:3-9). All such restrictions are explicitly annulled by the New Testament (Gal. 3:27-29)." Taken from http://www.gty.org/IssuesandAnswers/archive/marriage.htm Grace to you, Nolan |
