Now, this thread is directed towards the older generation who was taught that interracial marriage is not ok by their parents and the church. The only way you can change their minds, show them the error of their ways is by showing them they are wrong by using the book that some preacher, pastor, minister or whatever used to teach them.
I know many Christians over the age of 50 who once believed interracial marriage was a sin because they were taught that. Now they will tell you that interracial marriage may not be a sin and that it don't go against God but they will say it causes problems not only for the couple but for any children the couple may have.
It's not about interpretation either, i don't see how anyone can not see it.
The problem is the teacher who knows what they are teaching is wrong but because that teacher is racist, they pull those who trust them to hell. Pastors, ministers, priests, preachers or whoever need their congregation to hold them to certain standards, to check everything the teach or preach on.
Ok, I'm all over the place here.
What brought this thread on though is I was talking with a kid the other day who said that it is a sin for a black man or woman to marry a white man or woman. I asked him if it was only black and white or if it was all races like Asian and black, white and middle eastern, what? He just said that there was to be no race mixing.
This was a kid about 20 years old and I promptly showed him he was wrong.
Sorry for the rant
No apologies needed, I can tell from your posts, that you're an ok dude. I apologize if I came off on the wrong foot it was not my intention. I understood that your objective was to inform fellow Christians that interracial marriage is Ok. And I applaud you for that. I think I just get frustrated with people that should understand something but don't because of religious beliefs.
