1 Kings 11:1-5 King Solomon loved many women who were not from Israel. He loved the daughter of the king of Egypt, as well as women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites. The Lord had told the Israelites, You must not marry people of other nations. If you do, they will cause you to follow their gods.


Most interracial marriages are of people of the same nation who follow the same gods so that isn't a relevant verse. At no point does it make a distinction of people of the same nation, same gods, but different skin colors.


Again (second article I linked in my previous post) these are the scriptures being used to justify. You are free to argue with the author of the article or the lady that runs the wedding hall - I was just answering Zikten's question of "What parts of the Bible prohibit interracial marriage?"

(FYI I'm not Christian, just grew up/live in the deep South where I've met people with this belief before)

where in the bible does it fucking say anything about interracial marriage being sinful? I've never seen that, and I used to read the bible when I was a kid.


Not reading the whole thread so idk if someone has said this but iirc some people interpreted the story of I wanna say the tower of Babel where god ended up sending everyone to the four corners of the world and giving them separate languages as the different races shouldnt mingle with one another.

Something like that anyways I heard from a family member that was of a older generation.

So yeah basically someone interpreting something in a way that backs up their old fashioned ass feelings on the matter. Hearing what they wanna hear.

Moses literally married a Cushite (Ethiopian) and his sister, Miriam, was cursed with leprosy for criticizing that he married another race.

everyone knows christianity is a white religion

adopted first by middle easterners, armenians, horn africans and egyptians long before any widespread adoption by europeans

also now followed by every single race on earth

but it's definitely a white religion

they're as white as turks are. they're almost identical genetically. their main distinction is culture and language and religion. people usually consider them white only because they're christian (again, tying christianity to race for some reason)

I admit, I have thought of Armenians as white and Turks as not white. If there's no distinction genetically between them, than I guess I did let religion influence that. Funny how the society we live in shapes how we see things, because that certainly wasn't a conscious thought.

I've definitely seen some Lebanese and Syrians that were as white as Europeans (regardless if they were Christian or Muslim). But racists have at least been consistent about seeing them as Arab rather than white. I mean, Far right groups in Europe are saying "no Syrian refugees" and not "but Christian Syrians are ok."

Baptist. Ok that might explain why a relative of mine was all pissed off at a cousin of mine marrying a black dude.

In not big into Christianity period but baptists have always bothered me quite a bit more compared to Methodist which is what I was raised.

Methodists have been logical and progressive since their inception. They propped up the underground railroad, strongly supported women's suffrage, and believe that all good Christians should be educated and read the Bible themselves to draw their own conclusions instead of having a preacher dictate it.

I still walked out when they bashed gay people and never looked back.

But yeah last church I went to even welcomed a black family into the otherwise all white church.

Their religion is white nationalism. Their Messiah is whoever the most popular Republican is currently. Some of their core beliefs are hatred of as many people as possible and gay people are ewie wewie.

They slapped Christs name on this religion of theirs because, idk, they are demons?

When people are entitled assholes and simply just wont abide by other people even earnestly pursuing happiness and living their own lives. This is why humanity is doomed to a premature end. The majority of mankind is more concerned about subjugating and making enemies out of one another for the most trivial of reasons rather than simply being indifferent if not affected, or focusing on cooperation and survival. Is this life really hell?
