Topic	Wedding venue cancels on interracial couple
Ruvan22 09/01/19 9:58:26 PM #39:	kingdrake2 posted... Esrac posted... Artillatron8 posted... I understand not doing gay weddings. But mixed race? That's just ridiculous. The Bible doesn't say anything against interracial couples getting married. This. I can understand the justification for a christian venue not doing gay weddings, but I'm not aware of any religious prohibition against interracial marriage. there isn't. only against LBGT. Apparently most of you haven't met that many Southern Christians - the belief is still prevalent, and scripture is often cited like this As individuals, they [blacks people] are precious souls for whom Christ died and whom we are to love and seek to win. As a race, however, they are unique and different and have their own culture. I would never marry a black. Why? Because I believe God made the races, separated them, and set the bounds of their habitation (Deuteronomy 32:8; Acts 17:26). He made them uniquely different and intended that these distinctions remain. God never intended the human race to become a mixed or mongrel race. So, while I am strongly opposed to segregation, I favor separation that the uniqueness with which God made them is maintained. Now attitudes have (thankfully) changed, but here's an article from somebody who grew up believing miscegenation (marrying across races) was Biblically wrong and how many of his cohort still believe the same https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/should-we-encourage-interracial-marriage <cite>Ruvan22 posted [p:926841193] in Wedding ve...
