Re: Mixed Race Marriage In The U.S. Climbs To New
Are you kidding me? Some of these posts leave me angry, and sad.

There are two nations in this dispensation.
The saved and the unsaved.
As long as you marry within your nation God can and will bless, multiply, and sanction your marriage. Skin tone has nothing to do with it.

Amen. The cultural arguement may very well be valid in some cases, but it's not a race question. My wife and I are primarily white, but we are from very different Christian cultures. That is no small thing to overcome, but even that can happen with the Lord.

Oh, I didn't mean he might be ignoring a higher truth; except maybe by omission. I meant that if you leave off hissing at lies, and just put forward some higher truth in a matter, a la maybe "That's impressive that you were able to overcome where so many fail-How?" or "edification comes...here," that the conversation will always proceed from that higher truth.
"Outlaw _____" is dead out of the gate, at "___LAW," so a comment like this can effectively be completely ignored by all. A simple truth would suffice here--"A penny either lands heads or tails" would overcome that one, lol.

Re: Mixed Race Marriage In The U.S. Climbs To New
Our spirit is neither white, black, brown, or yellow. it is a spirit. We should see each other as jesus sees us as brothers and sisters.
Love is accepting me as I am in christ jesus.

Re: Mixed Race Marriage In The U.S. Climbs To New
Sad.
I have spoken with a few racists in my time.
Just try to ask them who someone that is half/half should marry.
Many of them become incoherent there.
If not, try moving it down to 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32.
Most of them give up the argument at this point and revert to "well, how would you feel if one of your children?"...
At which point I say, "they already did!"
