No, I don't. Since God created all races how can he consider it a sin if any of them marry?

Thanks for the response. I was just wondering cause I read somewhere that in when the tower of Babylon fell, God seperated people. creating races, so they could not all understand each other anymore, and He said each one should be with his kind.

Of course not, God is Love, He is not prejudice. The gospel teaches us to love one another. Man, is the one who sees a sin because of their prejudices. It should not matter, what race you are, if you love someone. People need to accept that. For those who choose to marry within their race, that's fine, and it should also be okay to marry outside of your race. It seems the white race has the biggest problems with interracial marriages, than most races. Don't know why, but the is the way it is. I am black, my husband was married to a caucasion woman, her mother hated him. She actually offered him money not to marry her. They had one son together, who married a white girl. I love them all, even the ex white wife, we get together on many occassions. I see no sin in interracial marriages, and I am sure God does not either.

I think that anyone who DOES use the bible, their religion or god to be racist needs a slap in the mouth....and to be struck down by god himself

Hi nik, There is nothing in God's Word that goes against interracial marriage. As long as the man and woman really love each other, it's fine! Of course I believe that everyone should pray about who they marry. They should let God show them Who He knows would make a good spouse for them. God bless you!

No, I do not think God thinks interracial marraiges are a sin. God created all people, whether black, white, pink, brown etc. He loves all people regardless of race. Why should it be different for the people he creates? Why would he consider two different races being in love and taking a vow to each other a sin?

no because god made everyone equal the bible states that man looks on the outward appearance but god looks on the heart so to me god dont see black of white people do i feel if you love someone from the heart then it dont matter what color they are people judge people by there skin color but god does not so it really dont matter to god what color the person you fall in love with we all have choices in life and god gives us the ability too choose so i would say interacial marriages is not a sin in gods eyes at all!!!!!
