Question: How about interracial marriage?
Answer: As you know, we biblically address all questions. The Bible teaches us about marriage. God himself is the author of marriage (Gen. 2: 18-25). The original truths pertaining to marriage are applicable today (see Eph. 5: 22-33, Matt. 19: 3-9). "Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled..." wrote the Hebrew writer (Heb. 13: 4).
God forbids certain marriages. Under the Jewish economy, the Jew was forbidden to marry outside the Jewish race (I Kgs. 11: 1-8). Those who practiced interracial marriage were to "divorce" their wives (Ezra 10, we are not under the Jewish system, Col. 2: 14, 2 Cor. 3). God's law today forbids marrying a "put away person" (Matt. 19: 9).
Marriage should be as compatible as possible. There are many social, educational, religious, and cultural differences among people. The ideal situation is for Christians to marry Christians. They, then, have the same values, goals, and beliefs. In such marriages there should be basic agreement regarding money, recreation, and child rearing (see I Pet. 3: 7). Racial and cultural strains can and do contribute to unhappy and failed marriages. One should not only consider the immediate benefits and dangers of marriage, but how would such a union impact the offspring.
Does the Bible teach it is necessarily a sin for a Caucasian not to marry a Caucasian, a Hispanic a Hispanic, and a Negro a Negro? No! However, this is not to say one should not weigh and consider the consequences of interracial marriage, what ever the mixture is. Beloved, the more in favor regarding a marriage, the more successful the marriage is likely to be. Marriage is for life and must be seriously viewed (Matt. 19: 3-9).
