Bible Question: is it a sin if a white and a black marry? |
Bible Answer: Hello leapordgirl13, Welcome, but please respond to sister Azure. Are you of appropriate age - 18 or older - to be participating on this forum? Regarding your question, there is no place in Scripture that prohibits interracial marriage. The matter is one of marrying within a "people" not a race. That is, a child of God is FORBIDEN to marry a nonbeliever. 2 Co 6:14-15 NASB 14 Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? There are times when a believer will ignore or disobey this command of God with the idea; "I will change him (or her) and lead him to Christ". Wrong; if he (or she) is to come to Christ it will be God who calls and does the leading. It should be said that it is a different situation if one is already married and then becomes a Christian while his or her spouse is not saved. That person should stay married; God hates divorce. 1 Co 7:13-16 NASB 13 And a woman who has an unbelieving husband and he consents to live with her, she must not send her husband away. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. 15 Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace. 16 For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife? Hope this is helpful, God bless, Jeff |
