We have a number of birds in our backyard that my wife and I observe from our back porch. The cardinals are frequent visitors as are the black-capped chickadees and house finches. One thing I have never observed is any of them kissing any of the others, regardless of species! I have observed my cat licking my dog's face and vice-versa.

Excellent points! Also, I disagree with Doc's stance on this. It is one of perhaps the three things I disagree with him on, but nevertheless I do disagree. There is really no Scriptural basis for forbidding "interracial" marriage today under the Gospel of Grace. (I took a good bit of his Genesis class too...I know where he's coming from and I still disagree ) |

I do not believe there is anything in this dispensation that could prohibit interratial marriage (Paul doesn't ever mention it when he speaks of men taking wives). Nor do I think ANYONE could make the case against such a marriage (I'm sure people try, and I'm willing to bet they fail to rightly divide and resort to using the OT). As far as I see it, we are all descendents of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, along with their wives. The only benefits one could attribute to genetic purity, in my opinion, are completely carnal. Those benefits would only appeal to ones sense of self worth, and ultimately would service ones pride.
... the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. (1 John 2:16 KJV) At the end of the day we all will shed this corrupt flesh and put on the incorruptable and be like Jesus. And I'll tell you one thing I know for sure, Lord Jesus is engaged to marry every single member of His Church, and He doesn't care if any of us are black, white, asian, greek or jew. We are ALL precious in His sight! So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. (Romans 12:5 KJV) 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. (Galatians 3:28 KJV) That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: (Ephesians 1:10 KJV) So let us put aside this petty little debate. It makes us look bad. For Jesus' sake, Stephen |

it occurs to me that while the Christians were debating this kind of thing, the world pulled the rug out from under them and redefined marriage to suit its own standards. As the Prop 8 issue shows, Bible believers and all other traditionalists are about to be portrayed as the worst haters on the planet like never before. It's no longer about race, it's about gender: http://av1611.com/forums/showthread.php?t=787 |

No, there are things I don't agree with him on either. But he provides so much Biblical evidence for it. I think most are scared to look at what he presents in case they have to change their mind to line up with Scripture.

And what qualifies you to judge people as "scared" to "look" at this (even though most of us already have)? Here you have blurted your opinion without offering any Scriptural support, and when pressed to provide evidence you merely defer to a man and accuse us of being "scared."

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! |

I skimmed through this thread, and if some one has already beaten me to it, I'm sorry. The only Scripture that deals with interracial marriage is here:
