The following are some of Aussie mama’s quotes in regards to “interracial marriage”:

Quote:
All throughout the Bible there is warnings not to marry different races.
I asked before and you never answered, so I say again: Please give us the CHAPTERS & VERSES? If what you say: All throughout the Bible there is warnings not to marry different races. is true, you should be able to give us SOME verses (at least) to support your “belief”! (Or the “belief” of whomever you are following)

Quote:
As Christians, we are to obey the Bible, not to be politically correct. The whole "integration" movement is, in my opinion, part of the politically correct agenda that we as Christians need to stay away from. I will post about why our family believes interracial marriage to be wrong. (As a side note, last time I said anything about this I got a heap of junk from Ken Ham sent to me...I am not interested in what Ken Ham has to say...he doesn't even believe the King James Bible for starters. If you can refute what I say that's fine, I'm just not interested in what he has to say anymore because I think I've been sent it so many times I have almost memorized it ha-ha).
I don’t want to know: why our family believes interracial marriage to be wrong.I have asked for CHAPTERS & VERSES in support of your “belief”. Your personal “opinion” or your family’s “opinion” are of no interest to genuine Bible believers, we want Scriptural proof for your personal “beliefs”!

Hope this helps explain my beliefs a little. By the way, I know many black friends who believe it is wrong for them to marry white people or Orientals, and nobody calls them racist. It's only racist if a white person says it, as usual in this world.
Once again, I don’t care what your many black friends believe - you claimed: All throughout the Bible there is warnings not to marry different races. And yet all you have given us is your “opinion” or other people’s opinions or “beliefs”. You have yet to give us any Scriptures in support of your “racist opinions”!

LOL no I would not have started this topic. I only added to it. I wanted to make one good post on the subject and then leave it alone because I figured I would be outnumbered but that doesn't change what I believe. Since I am outnumbered and it's sensitive, though, I only really wanted to make one post. I also did not intend to stir the pot which is why I wanted to have it all collected in one post so that I did not appear to be arguing. I just wanted to present another viewpoint. I don't plan on saying much more on the subject. I won't promise that it and this will be my only posts because the minute I do that something will happen and I'll add to it lol.

I will add one more thing ... I don't know how interracial couples manage...my husband and I are in a cross cultural marriage (both European) and even that is hard enough!
You were the one who wondered and were puzzled about:I don't know how interracial couples manageand I answered with my personal testimony (Post #40), to which you niggling replied:So, because someone has a beautiful interracial marriage and shares about it, that makes it right? Why are we taking personal stories and elevating them higher than God's Word? Now, if you have a BIBLICAL argument as to why you think interracial marriage is ok, I don't mind hearing those, but personal stories are irrelevant when discussing matters of right and wrong.You were the one who wondered how interracial couples manage, and when I answered you with my testimony you take a “cheapshot” at my answer – my, my, you not only have a lot to learn about “rightly dividing the word of God”; you have a whole lot to learn about Christian charity! I try real hard on this Forum (and elsewhere) not to get “personal” with ad homonym attacks on people, but in your case I am going to make an exception: If you are so petty as to attack my testimony (in answer to your puzzlement) - I pity your husband!

I doubt you'll like the truth Dr Ruckman sheds on the matter since you don't believe that interracial marriage is wrong. Glad someone stands for truth rather than trying to be politically correct.
You keep claiming that the Bible teaches against "interracial marriage", but you keep quoting other people! When I want to know the “Truth” about a Scriptural matter, I do not go to brother Ruckman to shed light on a Bible issue, I search the Holy Scriptures and ask the Holy Spirit to guide me: John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. As much as I appreciate brother Peter Ruckman, he is a very poor “substitute” for the Holy Spirit!

Your Posts are quite instructive as to why women, especially women who are new born babes in Christ, should not be trying to “instruct” those of us Bible believing Christians (men) who have been studying the Bible longer than you have been living. And, if a woman is married, she should be learning from her husband; or older Christian women; or elders (men) in a church. However, in this day and age, it is practically impossible for the “emancipated” and “liberated” Western woman (saved or unsaved) who is guided by her personal beliefs and/or "feelings", to keep from "expressing herself" - so I expect that you will continue to give us your “opinions” or the “opinions” of those you “respect” in the place of Scripture.

Henceforth, those of us who are genuine Bible believers will continue to ignore your “opinions”, (and the “opinions” of your friends, relatives, and those whom you admire) and just chalk the whole thing up to the fact that, when it comes to rightly dividing the word of God (and obeying God’s words), most Western women (American, Canadian, European, and Australian) will simply choose to ignore every Scriptural teaching and injunction concerning the conduct of Christian women, and will instead insist on relying on their own “feelings” and “opinions” and following their feminist convictions and beliefs.

A review of your Posts on this subject clearly demonstrates that you are “parroting” other people’s opinions, beliefs, and convictions, but you, yourself, are unable to defend your “personal beliefs” or demonstrate (from the Scriptures) that what you believe is true, and so you end up dismissing anything anyone else offers as being “irrelevant” without offering any proof (from the Holy Bible) that you know what you are talking about.

In this day and age (Dispensation) God has divided up the people of the world into three (3) categories: The JEWS, the GENTILES, and the CHURCH (born again children of God) 1 Corinthians 10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:. Any other division is not only in "error", it is heresy (false doctrine), and as such should be rejected immediately and refuted whenever it is brought up!
