It's sad to hear any one that claims to be a Christian put this junk forward....where was anyone in the bible condemned for marrying someone with a different skin color? Skin color, BTW, is not necessarily race...there were no hispanics at Babel...no Romans...no Italians...no English...not before or after. God never said anywhere before or after babel to not marry someone with a different skin color

Re: Does God approve of "interracial" marriage??
I'm confused. What does "only in the Lord" have to do with racism?
