Question 

What is your opinion on mixed marriages, like different races getting married, Biblically?

Answer

The Bible doesn’t prescribe any forbidding of that at all. I think two people ought to get married who love the Lord Jesus Christ, and I don’t think race is an issue at all. I think there are some sociological implications and those can vary. I mean, in some societies there can be a great amount of pressure applied to people. For example, if you were living in Alabama and a black and a white person marry, there may be some severe implications on their life and their family in that environment. There may be no such implications, for example, if that happened in the Caribbean. I mean it depends on perceptions. You have to take into consideration what the ramifications of something like that would be, I suppose sociologically, but Biblically there is no such prohibition at all. And you know, where would you draw the line? Would you say that black people can’t marry white people, but white people can marry brown people and brown people can marry black people. What about Scottish people and German people? Where do you go with all of that? So I think those kinds of barriers are artificial and I don’t see anything in Scripture at all that forbids that. If two people are “in Christ” that’s the issue.
