Mixed Confusions

[CrimsonsDecayingRose]

Okay, i understand the keen parts of Christianity. I grew up a Christian, have read the Bible, and [try to] pray everyday. But one thing i am not completly understanding is the mixed marraige deal. My mom says it's against Christian belief to marry outside your ethnic group; however, she doesn't know where in the Bible it says so. I mean no offense to anyone and i would really appreciate it if someone could explain this to me. Thank you,

The Bible never says anything about it being a sin to marry interracially. The Bible warns against marrying a non-Christian as 8 times out of 10 they bring you down instead of you bringing them up. but your mom is wrong. The only reason God told the Israelites not to marry outside of Israel is because of what I just sayd. The Caananites would steer them away from God and cause them to worship false gods. Which is what happened. That is advising against marrying a non-Christian. Nothing about interracial anything

I do not know where your mother got that, but that is not true. I'm guessing she got it from a verse that was worded in a way that made it seem like it was saying something other then what it was really saying. You can absolutely marry out of your ethnic group.

Because grey will not do.

I just saw what Renegade wrote, and that probablly is what your mom got confused about. Renengade got it exactly right.

Yup, that's pretty much all there is to say.
Although, Crimson, if you could find the passage your mom was mentioning, it might help us understand where she's coming from.

There's a Time to Laugh "Ephesians 2: 8-9"

We are all children of God regardless of our skin color. your mother is confused it seems. but like renegade said, it's not good to marry a non-christian for often times they will bring you down.

And a Time to Cry "Romans 5: 3-5"

She said that her mom could not remember the passage.

Mixed marriages were banned for the Jews in the Old Testament. However, we are not under the Law. Christians may marry a person of whatever ethnicity they want. The issue comes out when you want to marry outside of the church, which you should not do.

They were banned for the Jews because other ethnicities did not follow God, and God did not want his people being strayed from him by their non-believing spouses. It wasn't really ethnicity as much as it was spirituality.

Because grey will not do.

Maybe she meant Leviticus 19:19?

". . . You shall not let your livestock breed with another kind. You shall not sow your field with mixed seed. Nor shall a garment of mixed linen and wool come upon you."

For sure. Though it seems like the Jews did a good enough job of not following God on their own most of the time. I just wrapped of 2 Samuel and 1 /2 Kings.. Man. Disappointing stuff.

I know, but it's good encourgement for us, encouragement to not be like that.

Also, when I read how many wives and concubines Solomon had, I freaked out.
1Ki 11:3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.
How in the world did he manage that???

Because grey will not do.

I have no idea. No offense to any lady here, but I feel bad for him. I have one lady that I'm with, and that's a full time deal. I love her, but I couldn't possibly imagine two, let alone seven hundred.

Lol, it's ok, no offense taken at all because it's true. >_< Solomon must have had a LOT of mental problems by the time he died. >_<

I think he had it easier because in that time, they all knew about each other and I don't think they could complain about anything so when the woman is just more seen than heard it had to have some sort of benefit.
