hhhmmmmmmmm no i don'tthink so
-
I'm pretty sure it doesn't mention anything of the sort. God is supposed to be about tolerance...of course, tell that to the homophobic religious right.
-
no but in some religions interreligion marriage is a sin
-
Nope. God isn't hung up on the flesh, or the skin. He cares about the soul within.

No. http://www.christiananswers.net/q-sum/sum-g003.html

You could try reading the Bible and deciding for yourself. No, the Bible does not condem interracial marriage.
-
We all came from Adam and Eve. Why would it?
-
interracial marriage is not a sin but give a second thought in interreligion marriage for God says "do not yoke with unbelievers"

No, it doesnt. God's message for his people is consistent from the beginning right to the end. God's way doesn't change back and forth. Let's notice now from the scripture that what God forbids in His Word is not the marrying of people of different racial lineage, but interreligious marriage. Exodus 34:10-16: "And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels ... behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee: But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves: For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God; Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice; And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods." God's concern was that marrying outside the "church" (Israel was the Church of the Old Testament) would cause Israel to turn away from God. The command is similar to what we read in the New Testament in 2 Corinthians 6:14, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers ...", and 1 Corinthians 7:39, "The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord." God gave the saints liberty to marry anyone in the Lord regardless of race or skin color. The issue was the same for the Church in the wilderness. Notice similar instructions in Deuteronomy 7:1-6. "Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly" (v. 3-4). The problem here was clearly that marrying outside the "Church" would cause Israel to turn away from the true worship of the true God. Other scriptures that illustrate this truth are Joshua 23:6-13; Ezra 9:1-2, 10-14.

Nope. In fact Moses' wife was African.
-
Not in any place I have read or studied. It doesn't give the race of Adam or Eve. It only prohibits marriage with those outside of the Faith.

The Bible states that God is no exceptor of persons. Moses was an Israelite and he married a woman of color to which later, his brother Aaron and his sister Miriam spoke against the wife of Moses and God plagued them with lepresy. That is how God feels about people thinking that they are better than others because of their color...and if he didn't take lightly the attitude of Moses' siblings, God won't take lightly anybody else's mean-spririt attitude. God did want for God-loving people to marry within God -loving people and not heathens... God also did destroy Sodom and Gomorah, two cities that were known for homosexuality. I include this as many assume that God allows everything, when in fact, He expects great things for Humanity
