Well said.
It continues to amaze and disturb me whenever I hear Pentecostals actually trying to use the Bible to justify opposition to interracial marriage.
I think to myself that either these people a) really don't know what the Bible says [or doesn't say] on the topic... or b) they're trying to use the Word of God to justify their own prejudices.
