is it ok to marry someone of a different race biblically?

[joi]

From what I can gather on this subject, yes, it is ok.
I think the big restriction was in the Jews not marrying those who would take them away from God.

I remember that Moses had trouble with Miriam, because she did not like his choice for a wife.

Numbers 12 (New American Standard Bible)


Numbers 12

The Murmuring of Miriam and Aaron

1Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cush-ite woman whom he had married (for he had married a (A)Cu****e woman);
2(B)and they said, "Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us as well?" And the LORD heard it.
3(Now the man Moses was (C)very humble, more than any man who was on the face of the earth.)
4Suddenly the LORD said to Moses and Aaron and to Miriam, "You three come out to the tent of meeting." So the three of them came out.
5(D)Then the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the doorway of the tent, and He called Aaron and Miriam. When they had both come forward,
6He said,
"Hear now My words:
If there is a prophet among you,
I, the LORD, shall make Myself known to him in a (E)vision
I shall speak with him in a (F)dream.
7"Not so, with (G)My servant Moses,
(H)He is faithful in all My household;
8(I)With him I speak mouth to mouth,
Even openly, and not in dark sayings,
And he beholds (J)the form of the LORD.
Why then were you not afraid
To speak against My servant, against Moses?" 9So the anger of the LORD burned against them and (K)He departed.

yep. it is what i found. 2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

and of corse the whole chapter goes into why.

i have seen several Christians do this then wonder why their marraige isnt working.

We made short work of that one. Wish it were that easy with all problems!

As some of us have said, we are all of the Human Race. So yes, it is o.k., as long as they don't try to dissuade you towards "false god"s" and/or "foreign religions".
