Interracial Marriage

[standingfirminChrist]

I am not racist in the least. I have already stated that. So no matter how you call me racist, your words against me are not true and are uncalled for.

Linda, while she is of Jewish descent, is caucasion like myself. Anyone seeing her picture can clearly see that.

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

Yes it is, it is hateful, and talking about humans while using the word "breed" shows your lack of love toward other humans.

You are being hypocritical...
Jews were forbidden to marry gentiles... that is in the Bible...
But you ignore that part because you as a gentile conveniently married a jew...

While I have no problem with that, you should.... if you think people should stay with their own kind...

Thank God, your way of thinking is going the way of the dinosaurs...

FP... don't let ignorant bigots get to you...
Christ died for their sins.. all they have to do is repent.

Breed is in the dictionary. It states it is the offspring not just of animals, but of man too.

 

[tinytim]

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.

I hope you are banned for this.. you are clearly promoting racism.

 

[tinytim]

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

But calling them mixed breed is...

And when are you and Linda getting a divorce?

I don't care how many times you say it.. your mouth is speaking what is in your heart...

To call other humans half-breed is as bad as murder!
You may not be a racist, but you are certainly sounding like people who wear white sheets!

using the word mixed breed is not racist. Notice i said it is not that one's fault? I am not being racist toward the child, whether you think so or not.

Guys, throwing around the word "racist" and name calling doesn't change anyone's mind. In fact, it accomplishes the opposite and is against BB rules. You're all good people, it's not worth getting upset over.

At the beginning of this thread, I believed blacks and whites should not marry or produce children. That is not racist. Now towards the end of this thread, I see things differently. This is due to the patience of some to explain the bible verses and their beliefs.
FP posts in the first thread about this subject did nothing to change my mind. Same with a few others. She's mellowed since, and explained herself with patience, so I listen.

Here's the definition of racism-Websters

1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.

2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race

News Flash!!! The people in white sheets would have shunned my wife.

And when are you and Linda getting a divorce?

NEVER---

Let me tell you this, Tim---neither SFIC or I are racist. Asking when we are getting a divorce is as ridiculous as it gets. Are you our judge?

Wow, what a Christ-like attitude toward your brother in Christ!

further posting rules

Below are posting rules 2-4, read these carefully.

Earlier when I deleted Filmproducer's post, I explained why I performed that action.

If anyone believes I have acted unfairly in my decision, please feel free to contact a fellow moderator.

2. Use discretion when posting. Not all topics are beneficial or edifying to the board. Topics and/or posts that would condone racism, every form of greed, selfishness, and vice, and all forms of sexual immorality, including but not limited to adultery, homosexuality, and pornography are strictly prohibited. The decision to deem a thread or post inappropriate will remain at the discretion of the Webmaster or his designee. Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.
3. Show grace to the other posters. When someone disagrees with you, discuss it; but be slow to offend, and eager to get into the Word and find the answers. Remember, when discussing passionate issues, it is easy to go too far and offend. Further, if we are "earnestly contending for the faith" it would be unrealistic not to expect at times to be misunderstood or even ridiculed. But please note that your words can sometimes be harsh if used in the wrong way. The anger of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
4. Personal attacks will not be tolerated. The board has an edit button enabled. We encourage you to use it and edit your own words. Moderators and Administrators will be visibly proactive in dealing with potentially offensive situations. Posts of a violent or threatening nature, either implicitly or explicitly, will be deleted, and the poster's membership revoked. We encourage personal problems with other members be resolved privately via email or personal messaging.

Wow, what a Christ-like attitude toward your brother in Christ!

You mean like the Christ-like attitude expressed by these comments?

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

From the beginning, I believe the command to go forth and multiply' was meaning after one's own kind. Trees, grass, animals, etc. were of their own kind and did not start creating hybrid breeds until man began interfering in that which God had created.

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

Their own kind? Black people and white people are not the same kind? By what criteria? The only criteria that sets black people and white people apart is their skin color. How is that not racist?

 

[standingfirminChrist]

There was nothing wrong in my statement. Read John 4, you will find that the Samaritan's were hated and despised because of their not being of one particular ethnic group.

The problem is not me, my belief is based on the Word of God and common sense.

There is no hint of racism in my statement.

You gotta admit, your words are curt to say the least. That's why they send others, even good folks, into a tizzy fit.

Don't Judge?

Hmmm...
Your husband made the statement that ethnic groups shouldn't mix, then backs it up by a scriptural mandate that tells your ancestors not to mix with his ancestors...

I don't have a problem with your marriage...
SFIC does by the verses he uses...

 

[tinytim]

Wow, what a Christ-like attitude toward your brother in Christ!

Baptistboard is probably the most read baptist message board in the world according to the fact that when you google something, BB always pops up...

Now we have a member calling children half breeds, and the mods don't want to edit his posts... but edits posts of those that disagree with him

That sends the message to the world that BB thinks children from interracial marriages are half-breeds.

Is this the attitude of the rest of the mods and administrators?

I for one am a member that believes racism is a sin.
And when one calls a child a half breed, that person is a racist...
Try that in a court of law anywhere in the country and see what happens.

Either edit SFIC's comments.
Or change the policy of BB...

SFIC... I call upon you as a brother in Christ to edit your own posts, and not use words that hurt others.

PLease.

We are both Americans--he is a Gentile and I am a Jew--however we are "new creatures in Christ Jesus"---according to Galations 3:28:

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

According to this verse, there is NO problem with our marriage and for you to say SFIC has a problem is untrue.

I am glad to see you agree with me...
A white American Christian should be able to marry a Black American Christian according to your logic...

That is what everyone else is trying to explain to SFIC... maybe you can.

But he then calls children half breeds... when the bible says ye are all one in Christ Jesus...

 

[tinytim]

I gotta run now, but I will be back later...

I count both you (Linda) and SFIC as brothers and sisters in Christ....

Please look at your posts and see if they don't sound racist if you were a visitor to BB....
