Interracial Marriage

There seems to be one important fact missing here:

There is only one race--the Adamic race

There are different people of various ethnic origins, but there is only one race. We have all come from Adam. We all belong to the Adamic Race. In this respect it is wrong to speak of different races.

Acts 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

Good verse. Only one race. Now, what are the bounds of each ethnic group's habitation? When does one step outside those bounds?

Since there is evidence of bounds of habitation, can it be said that co-habitation is going beyond those bounds?

Same in marriages. People, not happy with how God made them turn to other races, other ideas, other devices.

Maybe I'm crazy...but I just cannot get over this comment from the trash can of comments that this quote came from.....so you actually think that mixed marriages is a result of man rebelling against God because they weren't happy with how God made them????

Why is there not more uproar in this thread??

I can understand why Filmproducer has had enough. This thread infuriates me and the BB is a lesser place without her.

SFIC wrote the following racist comments.

Interracial marriages create, if you will, a breed set apart... like the Samatrians were set apart from other races.

I can only assume that you think the Samaritans are/were a different breed because of their skin color. Here's a link to an article about Samaritans on Wikipedia that disputes this.

Ethnically, they are descended from a group of Israelite inhabitants that have connections to ancient Samaria from the beginning of the Babylonian Exile up to the beginning of the Common Era. The Samaritans, however, derive their name not from this geographical designation, but rather from the term [FONT=David,narkisim,&quot]שַמֶרִים[/FONT] (Shamerim), “keepers [of the law]”.[3] Religiously, they are the adherents to Samaritanism, a religion based on the Torah.


From the beginning, I believe the command to go forth and multiply' was meaning after one's own kind.

The problem is that you think black people and white people are not the same kind. That is racism.

My statement was not racist in the least. Nor was it hateful.

How do you not see that those are racist statements?

Making statements that black people and white people are different kinds is racist. Those statements are hateful, highly offensive, and they mean that you are, in fact, a racist.

Here comes the back pedalling.

SFIC, we're not talking about cohabitation. You don't get to change the subject because you're getting called out for having made some of the most hateful, offensive comments I've ever seen.

THANK YOU

You need to do some serious soul searching, SFIC. The mouth doesn't spew out things that aren't in the heart to begin with.

Why is the tone here that the problem is the mixed race, and is not with those who are reacting to the mixed race?

This is turning disgusting. Some of you guys need to look back at your posts. Are all of you from hick town with all whites, or something? Good grief.

When one wants to stop a tree from growing, one attacks the root.

Time to start banning people. I can't believe you are referring to mixed races as different "breeds", sorry that not everyone can stay within one's own "kind" SFIC. You are warped.

Yes, I said 'breed'. And Webster's backs me up. Here is definition 5 of Webster's 1828 Dictionary for the word 'breed.':

5. To give birth to; to be the native place of; as, a pond breeds fish; a northern country breeds a race of stout men.

Mankind is considered a breed. Indians were often referred to as half-breeds in the Old West if they were of two different ethnic groups.

Yes, it is bringing about a new breed.

What the dump is that suppose to mean?

Man, you have no idea about the people you are talking about, or talking to. What I mean by that is you need to pick your words a little more wisely. For an old guy, who is suppose to be the mature one in the faith, you sure don't think about the statements you make before you spit them out.

Some of this thread has been pathetic. Some of it has been great.

I can tell you why I'm not in an uproar. We aren't going to change attitudes by uprising. AND I'm barely hanging on by an emotional thread this season.

I'm in no way supporting this attitude, I hope I've made that abundantly clear, but I can't do uproar.

I need to get out of this thread for a while. The posts that I've seen in this thread have just been awful. I can see why Filmproducer has had enough and I don't blame her one bit.

I truly believe you. I feel your pain. I do hope you have a blessed Christmas and holiday season.

Wikipedia did not give the correct definition of what a Samarian is. Here is a little about the background of Samaritans with Scripture:

Way of Life Encyclopedia
SAMARITANS
(sure keeping). The people who inhabited the region of Samaria in central Palestine. Samaritans were a mixed race of Jews and foreigners (2Ki 17:24-41). For this reason, the Samaritans were despised by the Jews (Joh 4:9); when they called Jesus a Samaritan, they were trying to slander Him (Joh 8:48). The Lord Jesus led a Samaritan woman to salvation (Joh 4:1-54) and used a Samaritan in His teaching on showing compassion to one's neighbor (Lu 10:30-37). Of ten lepers who were healed, only the Samaritan returned to give thanks to Christ (Lu 17:11-19). Jesus commanded that the Gospel be carried to the Samaritans (Ac 1:8; 8:25).


Samaritans were a mixed breed hated and despised by others. Apparently their own parents had nothing to do with them.

Oh I think them out carefully. If one does not want to produce a mixed breed that is hated by others, the solution would be to go to the root. It is not the mixed breed's fault, it is the parents. To stop that problem, the marriage and union should stay within the bounds of one's own habitation. That would stop the problem dead in its tracks.

Racist. I don't understand how you can see your comments otherwise.

Stating that people should marry within their ethnic groups is not racism. Sorry you do not see that.
