[quote=Big Game Hunter]Whites go with whites.
Blacks go with blacks.
Yellow go with yellows.
Reds go with reds.
Etc.
Does this policy refer to matching eye color, hair color, etc. or only skin? Merely a question....nothing else. I was visiting a church of a fellow aldeer member a few years back. The minister snuck up on the congregation by asking when seeking a mate, does God care what color hair your mate has? The answer was no. He asked if God cared what color eyes your mate has. Again, it was a resounding "no". Then he led them right into the question of does God then care what color your mate's skin is.......it got tight in that building. But to be fair, the minister did make a very good point.

i speak from experience -- having married inter-racially & been in the marriage for almost 20 years before we divorced -- you will have your damn work cut out for you. My ex was a Brazilian woman, so she was of olive complexion; the differences in "culture" between us was present every single day. It's already hard enough between a man & a woman to complicate a relationship with different cultures/nationality/races/etc.
I'm not telling anybody NOT to do it - nor am I criticizing it - but I damn sure will never do that again. I know what the Bible says about love conquering all - but human love is fickle & incredibly imperfect.

Whites go with whites.
Blacks go with blacks.
Yellow go with yellows.
Reds go with reds....................I think there’s actually a bible verse that says God separated the races but I don’t recall the scripture.
Aaron and Miriam criticized Moses, and God got mad at them for doing so. Any verses that I've found that may SEEM like they are anti-interracial marriage are referring to people's beliefs, not their race (example: God's people weren't allowed to marry canaanites, because they worshipped idols). Also, None of those verses would apply to us anyway, we are a different race than the Israelites. To say God was mad at them is an understatement...he gave Miriam Leprosy over her disapproval. It's always amazing to me when people [incorrectly] use the Bible to defend/support some opinion or action because they "thought they remembered it said something about...." [insert topic], when if you actually read what the Bible says, it's the exact opposite, as is the case here. If you're against interracial marriage, then whatever - that's your opinion to which you're entitled.......but claiming the Bible supports that stance is laughable.

This comment isn't just related to this topic, but really any topic........
If you consider yourself a Christian, then it is your duty/responsibility/obligation to actually READ GOD'S WORD and know what it says....not just "think I remember hearing that it said something about...."
How can you claim to be a follower of God/Christ if you don't know what He commands of you?

I have walked in mcninja and Bamaguitardude (my 1st wife was from Bermuda) shoes.
Our teenage foster daughter asked me what I thought about this topic and this was my response.
1) Color does NOT determine the character of a human being.
2) Culture differences are very real (as BGD) stated. Marriage it tough enough without that daily struggle. The couple better be strong as hell and both sides of the family better be in full support.
3) As this thread has shown, you better be ready for hate, judging, labeling, and shocked faces. You know everything the Bible says we should not do to others.

does the bible support slavery? also the "in gods image" Does that mean god resembled a cave man? Just a couple of things from the bible I've been wondering about lately. The Bible is a perfect instruction book for us to use in an imperfect world. I find no where in it that we are encouraged to take slaves, but it does address how to treat them if you have them. It also addresses lots of other situations that we may or may not run into over our lives and gives us instruction on how we should handle them. To the point of the post, the issue is not the color of skin. As said my many here, it is an understanding each person has as to what each race represents. You may have issues with a race because of their culture, ethnic practices, or beliefs. My call in this life is not to look at people and find flaws, but to love everyone equally and show them the love of Christ. I am glad Jesus was not a particular on accepting me as some of you are about accepting other people.

does the bible support slavery? also the "in gods image" Does that mean god resembled a cave man? Just a couple of things from the bible I've been wondering about lately. The short answer, if there is one, is that by and large the term "slavery" as it is used many times in the Bible, wasn't exactly the same as the "slavery" we all know (such as slavery in US History). In many cases (certainly not all), it was slavery to pay off a debt one couldn't pay with money. If you're really interested in learning about this topic, instead of just going around blindly thinking that the Bible says slavery (as we tend to think of it) as A-OK, then I'd recommend studying up on the topic.

Okay so let's just continue with the culture/mixing train of thought...
Y'all know we have fostered many kids over the past 4+ years. We have adopted and are in the process of adopting more. Most of those kids have been black. As best as I can recall (my memory isn't great) there have been 9 white, 2 Hispanic and 13 black. We have had kids anywhere from a few weeks to over two years. They were/are very much a part of my family and I am fiercely protective of each of them. My biological kids consider them brothers and sisters. Should my wife and I just take in only the pearly white ones and shut the door because (***GASP***) some are darker than others? I mean hell we can't clash cultures because, well, I don't know exactly...I have yet to see a logical reason why not...In my eyes they are children of God and have not done a daggum thing to live in the horrific situations from which they've been rescued. Or is fostering okay but when someone reaches sexual maturity they need to be kicked back over the tracks to their own kind?
I'm sorry (I'm not sorry) but this fires me up just a bit.
We started fostering last year. It is sad to see some of these situations. We just persist and do what we can.
It is what it is.

50% of white girls date black guys.
20% think they are gay.

Some talk the talk. Others walk the walk. You are a good man, father, and husband. Except for Faith, she is a little stinker.  May God have mercy on your soul when she grows up.
