"Corinthians 6:14" (says do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers)this is not a scripture about racism,it's about our relationship with God,it's about being holy Post Reply
View Profile History	mis quoting scripture Posted : 31 Oct, 2011 11:12 AM Unequally yoked is about our relationship with non believers. If we are Christian we should not go into business or marry an Unbeliever. Now, some people want a spouse or court someone that are compatible to themself. You can not make a Christian except another Race when it comes to courting or marring someone. We just have to Love everyone as in the Love like Christ had for US. Post Reply

I believe this teaching is far more reaching than a christian marrying an unbeliever. We are not to fellowship with the the world, in this context they where to separate themselves from the idol worshippers. Post Reply

View Profile History	mis quoting scripture Posted : 31 Oct, 2011 08:10 PM A woman can love a man of any race, with the love of Christ. She does not have to desire to marry that man of another race. And, that would not be a Sin or not loving him. Just because you choose someone of the same race for your mate, does not mean that they are in Sin. And, need to check themself. Maybe to that woman, that would be Unequally Yoked relationship. Your response makes it sound like she would be in Sin if she Declined to marry in another race. People in the OT married people of their same race or tribe it was customary not to marry out of your race for certain tribes. :angel: Post Reply

Jews!!!!!! married people of their same race or tribe it was the ORDER of God not to marry out of their race for certain tribes. Why? because other people worshiped the false gods and their beliefs could destroy the faith of Jews. Post Reply
e17perfertguy View Profile History	mis quoting scripture Posted : 5 Nov, 2011 03:28 PM hello angel,you are right about a woman and a man can choose to marry whoever they want to marry,it's free will,God gave us all that,what is wrong is when we chooce before we fall inlove to exclude other races,also when when we try to justify our colour preference by misquoting scripture or taking scripture out of context,this is seriously wrong,, Angel my dear,the OT has examples of mix marraiges, 'Joseph and his wife, Moses and his wife, ,Naomi's sons, Boaz and Ruth, David and the Queen of sheba,there are others too. You see my dear, God has always been after the human heart,not colour. :) Post Reply
