The answer is yes...

Date from a different race?

I have been dating my boyfriend for quite a while now. He is of a different race. It was tough at first, even my Dad was quite upset. Once he got to know Robert, it became ok. But it still bothers me he had to pass a test or time period, so to speak. As far as children of mixed races go, I believe society has eased up a lot. There are so many interracial children today, it's hard not to know any. There is still racism today, don't get me wrong, but I truly believe we are headed in the right direction.

 

[Derrial]

Anyway, the only concern is dating unbelievers. If you date an unbeliever, its probably going to be a "match made in hell" so to speak. There is likely going to be verbal wars and disgreements.

hmmm I dated a non christian for a year and a half and it was one of the most emotionally and spiritually forfilling experiences of my life but then she did have quite christian moral values (no sex before marrage etc.) which made things easyer. I think christian /christian relationships are very healthy (probably the way to go) but don't let religion be a barrier. Its not always a bed of roses but then few relationships are. Just because you hold different beliefs dosent mean that you can't have a mutualy benificial relationship in which love is given and recieved. It is however harder.

By love I mean the corinthian definition:
1Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

I don't think interracial couples have ever been a massive issue where I live in england but then weve been invaded so many times our gene pool looks like a Jackson Pollock painting

I think if your mate is truely a match from God, it won't matter what race they are. You will have such an awesome love for them and whatever comes your way you will conquer together. God's devine love and plan is stronger than any issues society might have with you.

 

[asms_solomon]

No..sorry

I voted because i'm not really attracted to people who are outside my race. I do beleive, however, that when God shows me who He has for me, no matter what age or race he is, i will love him for who he is in Christ.

Thats great to Know tcah...God bless

I hope God's will would be done.....

 

[harmony3tenor]

I don't believe it's wrong. I personally probably wouldn't just because of how hard it can be on children as well as the strain the relationship would be put under due to the prejudices that still exist in my community. But I see nothing Biblically wrong with it.

In response to the quoted bold maroon portion of your comment, I'd rather listen AND preach what GOD says about this:

2 Corinthians 6:14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Your not allowed to just pick any part of Scripture to abide by. Its either all or nothing. GOD says do NOT be unequally yoked. Just because your relationship was ok does not assume others are. Most are not at all.

 

[mounty]

I have to agree with Chad here,

I have been in a non christian relationship and have some friends who also have had non christian husbands and partners. It is like doubling the work load. It is very hard and opens the door for alot of fighting and hurt. At the end of the day you want to worship your King with your spouse and when that is not an option ,it can be very isolating.

Speaking from experience -Not a good idea

 

[Chad]

Being unequally yoked is like a 2 piece puzzle that does not fit together. They may be the same shape, but they do not fit as one.

I speak also from experience that its a match made in hell being unequally yoked. Its illogical too.

Who do you love more, your "soulmate" the unbeliever or GOD?

Matthew 19:6
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Since when would GOD join a believer and unbeliever together? Never.

 

[anayawa]

unequally yoked?

A friend of mine and I had this discussion before and he also told me about the passage in 2 Corinthians 6:14.
I had asked him about the passage I had read in 1 Corinthians I had read the whole of chapter 7 but I guess the main issue came at 7:12-16.
From NIV:
12To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. 14For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.

15But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace. 16How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife?

So we argued about this. Maybe I don't understand what Paul was talking about. I don't understand how the unbeliever ended up married to the believer in the first place when the two should not be yoked? Or is it that the couple married as christians and during the marriage one of them deceided to become an unbeliever?
Because I don't see anything wrong with marrying an unbeliever if your faith can save them. Well provided that you are a strong Christian because you could end up being the one led astray.

I answered Yes to this poll and I'm not a relationship. However, most guys I meet say they are Christians but not necessarily practicing.

Hey Chad I'm just going on personal experience and saying that I had a stable forfilling and spiritually healthy relationship with a nonchristian that lasted for a long time. I may be in the minority but my relationship with my ex tought me alot about women, myself and the nature of love. You have no right to judge me or tell me what's right or wrong. Thats the Lord's job. I know that bible verse, I know it well and there were definatly points we disagreed on but it was on the whole a positive thing.

And when it comes to who I loved more surely you know that love for God and love for other people are 2 different things? I know who I would have chosen if I had to choose and it wasn't her.

You also don't know the mind of God so you cannot definitivly say:

Since when would GOD join a believer and unbeliever together? Never.

he may, the Lord works in mysterious ways

You have no idea what your talking about. He may because He works in mysterious ways? I don't think so. GOD does not contradict His own words, get your facts straight. Secondly, I never judged you so don't go jumping to conclusions and spitting words without thinking first. I don't care to tell you whats right or wrong, but I correct those on my site here preaching anything against the Word of GOD. If you have a problem with that, then you don't belong here. Its your job to obey what GOD says, to listen to Him instead of coming up with your own agenda and conclusions.

And now the big question: why is she your ex? Coincidence? Its none of my business, but you mentioned it already that she is your ex. Perhaps it was never meant to be. After all, GOD did say...

2 Corinthians 6:14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

You can talk all you want about your experience, I do not care. I go by what GOD has to say, not what man says.

Unequally yoked

Right on Chad! I love it when a man shoots straight from the hip. Everyone needs to realize the Bible is the word of God, not just a book some men put together. I love my new found "Jesus Site", I am having a great time reading and learning.:smiling-animated:

 

[Derrial]

She's my ex because she wasn't putting enough into the relationship and I was fed up with doing all the leg work. This can occur in christian relationships too (I've seen it happen) and was not due to religion (or lack of). We were ment to be, but not forever. By being the only christ like person in my ex's life I believe I served God through our relationship as well.

I don't care to tell you whats right or wrong

Could have fooled me with this:

its a match made in hell being unequally yoked. Its illogical too.

I had a good relationship with a nonchristian that may not have lasted forever (although I though it would do at the time) but was full of love while it lasted. I'm not saying its right but I'm not saying it's wrong either. It depends on the person.

I correct those on my site here preaching anything against the Word of GOD. If you have a problem with that, then you don't belong here.

I'm not preaching anything. Just talking about personal experience. If you don't like it then you can use the power invested in you by God and the internet to ban me.

Cheap sarcasm and cheap shots to defend yourself. Ill mannered instead of humility. So much for being "the Christ like person". Well, how words come back to bite you because "you could have fooled me". You show no sense of humility, no sense of understanding GOD's word or "lack of" respect instead. This attitude of yours is not welcomed here at all. Your the only one here who agrees with your views.
