Christian views on inter-racial dating

Anonymous

Nope, cos i'm not wrong. The belief in a god is driven by a primitive mind trying to find order and reason in a harsh universe. There is no need for such medieval superstition in modern times. We no longer need the method of mass populous control that religion in all its forms offers as we have effective police forces.

Quit dragging this thread through the mud. Go to D&D.

As much as I agree with what you're trying to say, this isn't really the right place. *points to D&D*

What is the Christian view in inter-racial dating? Is it permitted?

I'm asking this as the Christian union at uni is running a six week course about sex and relationships god's way. However although they mention that dating non Christians is a bad idea, they don't mention anything on whether inter-racial dating is acceptable to Christians.

iner faith dating is wrong according to catholicism, but i dont know about other denoms.

interracial dating however is totally ok - the parable of the good BLACK samaritan, etc. i think theres quotes in the bible that support this.
because there is no race that is christian - anyone, black/white/other ca n be christian.

i myself am not white, and neither are many of my people who are devout catholics in mexico. africa has a large number of strict christians who are black, and obviously the west has alot of white christians

There is no restriction on this, and i think any biblical constructions that do encourage same-race relationships are fundamentally mistaken. I don't think it's Southern Baptism that informs this- rather redneck culture of which the denomination is a huge part.

I'd prefer to go out with Christian girls though, as they are likely to have decent morals.

are you christian?

At least if we're wrong we havent lost anything. If you're wrong then you've lost a lot.

Yes, that's an admirable reason to follow a faith, 'just in case'

Well I'm a black Christian and I've never dated anyone of my race before. Not that I don't want to or anything, just that the opportunity has never really come up. For me it doesn't matter what race my partner is. All I require that we can share a common bond when it comes on to faith.

Yes, Jesus hates it! :rolleyes:

God said in the Old Testament that such people should be stoned to death! :rolleyes:

There's nothing in the Bible which forbids it, so I doubt Christians in general would have a problem with it.
