Daniel you are an amazing person and I’m so blessed to know you as a Christian and my brother. Love is the answer. Thanking the Lord for His works through you.
I’m a young black woman (almost 18) and I’ve had friends of all races and cultures growing up. My neighborhood is diverse but there was never an issue with races. As I got older, I noticed that some of my black brothers and sisters would have past pain/hurt due to the negative history behind blacks and would take it out on other races and victimize themselves as a result. The root cause of that is unforgiveness and the Bible calls for us to forgive at all times. I see every child of God as my brother or sister, regardless of color. I would also like to date/marry outside of my culture one day and I am waiting on Gods timing to give me a God fearing, loving husband. God bless u Daniel and everyone reading this and I pray the Lord continues to strengthen us. 🙏🏿❤
This was very heartwarming to read. As a 23 year old Latino (specifically Mexican with Spanish roots), there were some things in your post that I can relate to, such as growing up in a diverse neighborhood, going to school with, getting along well, and playing with neighbors and children of different backgrounds which brought me joy as a kid and even today as a young adult, I love being around people of different races and backgrounds not just my own latino brothers. Also, like you, as I got older, growing up in the Latino community I did notice a similar sentiment of bitterness and past pain/hurt, in this case, due to the negative history with the Spanish Conquest who did many horrible things even extracting resources from the Latin American countries for their nations own interests (same deal with the USA intervening in the politics and economy of Latin American countries and similar to what European countries did to many African nations) leaving many communities in Latin America in poverty (scarce in resources) and increased injustices as a result. Similarly, sometimes, some Latinos would also take this bitterness out mainly on the Spaniards and other races and victimize themselves too carrying all this unforgiveness for generations. Plus, there also tends be bitterness, discrimination and envy between Latinos of same and/or different nationalities that is why we commonly hear this phrase that reads, for example, "el enemigo de un Mexicano (or whatever Latin American nationality the person identifies as) es otro Mexicano." (Translated to "the enemy of a Mexican is another Mexican"). Indeed, as a follower of Christ, our Lord teaches us to forgive at all times, amen! Keeping that in mind, it always motivates me to obey the Lord through the Holy Spirit so that my character and actions are totally contrary to what my culture encourages. Having met a lot Spaniard, I remember telling some of them that what happened in the past stays in the past, but moving on forward we cannot tolerate nor allow such colonial attitudes (which comes from the sinful flesh) from the ancestors to take over in our societies ever again to the point where people see it as a good thing but fail to realize how it actually affects so many people negatively. I pray that the people in Spain and Latin America can come to Jesus for salvation of their sins! Blessings in Jesus' name, dear sister in Christ 🙏
I noticed that too, and I came to realize that men and women in the West are unfortunately being heavily influenced by the culture, politics and twisted ideologies around them (the culture of extreme individualism that can lead to narcissistic behaviors, greed, feminism, materialism, social media influence, the company they keep, sometimes believing the twisted beliefs of their parents or grandparents concering groups of people, etc.) Where there is a lack of empathy between both genders that diverts their focus on living for and being changed by Christ. Sometimes, they are led astray by pride, entitlement, and arrogance to the point where their character becomes corrupted (yes, there are some who get angry at this fact that they choose to stay in that darkness but what good is there in reacting bitterly and defensively to even ignoring these things? It won't solve anything, but let these wicked things continue to run their course and continue to corrupt and harm people. Instead, it's more productive to take a firm stand against such things and be the light that the Lord calls us to be) to then settle for a sinful lifestyle. Obviously, I am NOT saying that everyone in the West is like that, but people there need to be fully aware and understand these issues are serious in order to combat them. Dear brother, I do believe there are amazing men and women of God in the West, but they need to make sure they are not focusing on the wrong things but rather holding on to Jesus hand and following His lead through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Yeah pretty much it's like that. I'm 38 now and I don't think it will happen necessarily. 😂 But I also have a physical preference as well, so that makes it even more difficult. 😅
My honest observation is that lots of Western women are also feminists or living with those morals. It's complicated and contradicting with Christianity. I noticed a trend of Western men searching outside of the West for spouses and marriages because if it. To my surprise these are smart educated, traditional men.
When I was young ( 10 years old ) .I always asked my self why I was born with this skin colour. I felt a bit ashamed of it But over time I grow more comfortable with who I was. Now I'm at peace more than ever.
Never be ashamed of how God made you. You are His beautiful child and He loves you!! God created each of us with a purpose and plan for our lives. Live out your destiny in Christ and become all that He has created you to be ✨️! God bless you dear one!
God doesn't make mistakes. You are exactly as God intended. Your spirit is colorless. Focus on improving your character. Beauty doesn't come from what you look like but who you are, and you have control over that.
@@champion3859when God's opinion of you matters more to you than other people's opinions, you WILL feel free and loved, not persecuted. Jesus loves you so much He died for you, and He is the Creator of the universe. Read the Bible my friend and find God. He will give you peace and love.
Color dose not matter. I am white and I just started going to a all black church and I love it. All the people there are so friendly and they don't look at me any different and they preach the word of God. We are all just people passing through this world. God is not going to judge us by the color of our skin. Heaven is going to be full of people of every color.
this is true except...when an issue develops between you as a white and one of their brothers or sisters, they will go against you. I saw this happen multiple times. Young man ascribing to be a future preacher, was manipulating the older single Christian ladies, Pastor sided with the guy and accused the white woman of being scorned.
@@thetruthwithproof8802 I guess we should just ignore John 14:8-10, "Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and we shall be satisfied.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know me, Philip? HE WHO HAS SEEN ME HAS SEEN THE FATHER; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority; but the Father who dwells in me does his works."

Yep....I agree. I'm Indian and I'm also from South Africa. I've also faced racism, just like you. Now I'm married to a South African who's half Chinese, so we have different skin color, but guess what; we both serve Yaweh. We have been living in China from the 1st year we got married, 7 years ago, and we have a 4 year old son who is so in love with Jesus Christ. My husband and I come from different cultures but, together, as a family we serve 1 GOD. I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you Jesus for giving us a new identity, in YOU! ❤
like i said before Abraham had 2 black sons one became the father of Africa the other the Father of what is now India as most people from India have Black DNA not just the Dallits
Hey, I am white Irish and black African (Bantu) and I live in the United States. I have seen more racism towards my white side than the african. There's a lot of racism against everyone. The problem is in the United States, we have political powers using that to their advantage.
Solomon, Moses, and Abraham ALL married black women. God cursed Moses’ sister with leprosy for speaking bad about his Ethiopian wife. God is against the idolatry of racism. I am a black woman and desire to marry a white man. I do believe God will bless.
@@theeternalsbeliever1779 No, God DID give Miriam Leporsy because she was angry with Moses for marrying the Cushite woman and God said to her since you care about white skin he will make it so white and gave her leporsy.
We are one in Jesus Christ spiritually, yet distinct in the flesh genetically. Ignoring this fact yields friction and discontent. I believe staying in ones own lane is easy than not.
@@10XSeiga It yields friction in the mind of the biracial child who struggles over their identity. I have a biracial friend who is half black and half white. He feels torn over his identity and hates his mother because he feels she caused this division in him. If I was the devil and wanted to cause suffering in someones life...I would start mixing races, because this would likely create a permanent identity crisis in the lives of the offspring...which then becomes a spiritual open door for the enemy. People really ought to think deeply about this.
I am one lucky Australian man, I cried and begged on my hands and knees in a drunken state to God in my mid-30s for a good Christian woman to come into my life after never finding the right woman, I was blessed, my prayers were finally answered 2 weeks later out of pure desperation, God gave me a Spanish speaking Colombian Christian woman with true Christian values, she was my new next door neighbour, that moved next door, we have since been together 23 years & rise 3 Christian children, this beautiful woman has helped me find God give up my drinking 20 years ago to become a better Christian man, I was very lucky that God blessed me with my wife, .. God bless you all and thank you God for my next door neighbour couldn't have got any easier to find love with my neighbour next door.
That's a beautiful story! However Colombians are not a different color! Colombians are Native American or Redskin and White mix or all Native or all White. Unless your wife is a black woman descendant of slaves brought from Africa by the Spaniards.... . So happy for your gift from God either way.
@@Valhalla1944 Colombians are Hispanics. Is a Spanish speaking country. We don't label. What do you want him to say, I'm dating a white Colombian, native Colombian or a black Colombian. To a Hispanic if your Hispanic you are just Hispanic. We don't see color. I'm Puerto Rican so I'm going to say. I'm native Puerto Rican lol. It's a ridiculous mind set. Pray about that.
My dad keeps giving my son a hard time because he has a girlfriend of color. I told my dad, what matters is that she is a believer and loves Jesus not what color she is. I’m gonna show him this video. Thank you for this Daniel ❤
He is looking forward to how sad to think of holding his future grandchild in his arms and they look nothing like his heritage. Mixed race children have no identity, they are always conflicted toward one and against the other.
@@Leon-Servant-of-ChristMen wisdom is foolishness!!! 90% of the times they put random words in God mouth. Does it came from God? Nooo! It came from human own ideas lol😅😊
We are not divided by skin color but by believers and nonbelievers. Our skin color is determined by genetics from our heritage from where our ancestors came from in the world, and of course melanin. Skin is the largest organ of our body. Evil has caused racism, to see someones skin color instead of just another human being. We all come in different shapes, sizes, and colors. There is only one race, the human race. We must stop judging people by the color of their skin and instead examine their character. God bless everyone.
Racism is not evil. It is normal human behaviour. You are obviously not reading your bible. Was God 'racist' for forbidding his people to practise intermarriage with other tribes? Was He 'racist' when he forbade Ammonites to enter the assembly of the Lord, even down to the 10th generation? Was St Paul a 'racist' for saying all Cretans are liars with slow bellies?
@user-qs4xw7ye5s get real. Racism as defined today is evil, as it promotes hatred and suspicion based solely on appearance. It used to mean where we came from, i.e. the Irish race, the Swedish race, the Tibetan race, etc. Pay attention to what the Bible actually says. God was against the Hebrews intermarrying with other tribes because of their idolatry. He will not compete with false gods. Such was the case with the Ammonites. As for Paul, he was quoting a Cretian philosopher, and agreed with him. Don't take the verse out of context; he left Titus there to preach the Gospel, as there were many people who claimed to be Godly but denied Him by their lifestyles and were out right disobedient and abominable before Him.
That’s not what he’s talking ab, you’re speaking ab preference. There are people out there who antagonize others whether physically or verbally for marrying outside of their race.
People like you think they can keep their race preserved in a jar for eternity. The problem is that the jar is not indestructible and after a certain time, like it or not, the jar will be destroyed.
@Jeremybaland, it's definitely Okay to prefer to marry your own ethnicity, but when you use stereotypes and biases as your reasoning for doing it, that's when it crosses from preference to racist.
God bless you Daniel. We do not have to be ashamed of preaching the truth from our Lord Jesus Christ wether people agree or disagree with us because at the end everyone will stand God him/herself alone.
Clearly you don't know God's word. Jesus talked about the plants that his Father didn't plant. The meaning of Adam is to blush, or red in the face. Laban means white.
It's never been about skin color. It's about being equally yoked, not equality as we perceive equality (wealth or status) but both having faith, obedience and love for Jesus.
You are correct. The guy who made the video should know that the Israelites were united by tribes/commandments to follow, and the Christians by denominations/doctrines to be guided by. Nothing to do with race or skin color. He conveniently forgot to mention that it was his European Christian ancestors that started racism in South Africa. And used those same bible verses to justify it. They were the ones who decided to attach color labels to people. Dogs have more sense; they don't identify by color.
We are all equal.... It doesn't matter what color you are, as far as blood my mom was o positive and I'm b.. God made us all different types of blood for a reason@@drumpogrom
But with political views that's why there's racism towards marrying somone u like from a other culture. And this really angers me alot 😢😢 I say to myself I rather be signal because of this.. I have a chinnise gf and her parents control her to much.. I don't think they like me. Because iam greek. Chinnise usally don't like accepting other races. Only there own.
Fantastic message! I am brown born in Brazil, I have Portuguese and Brazilian nationality and I currently live in England and I am in a relationship with a white woman. I have had the privilege of meeting believers from different cultures, languages and nations.
......But God saw everything that he had made, and behold it was very Good. Genesis 1:26-31. God is a God of varieties, and he created all things for his own pleasure. In all things the Lord God had created he did it in a good variety, God made nothing that was evil. For example, he created a different variety of fruit and some of the fruits like an Apple God created it in different varieties, like green apple, red apple, yellow apple and so forth, but it was all apples. God created varieties in Trees, flowers and they of different colors, different varieties of fish, cats, horses, dogs, chickens, and all animals. God created different Stars, and each star is different in glory. Yes, in all of God's creation he created the same things in a different variety. God loves colors. So likewise, God created a different variety of PEOPLE with different looks, and color, they were all made in his image and likeness and he saw that they were very good after he created them and God bless them all the same. God didn't keep them apart, but blessed them. What was the race of Adam and Eve? There was no race, they were just MAN and WOMAN, MALE and FEMALE. God said what he had created was VERY GOOD. What was the nationality of Adam and Eve? They were not of any nationality, they were just Man and woman. God is not a racist, he created the different races of people for his own glory and pleasure. God takes pleasure in black people, white people and so forth, and he loves us all the same. There is no such thing with God as a good white sinner and a good black sinner or a good race of people.
WE ARE ALL PART OF THE HUMAN RACE....LOVE HAS NO COLOR...GOD CREATED ALL RACES THE HUMAN RACE....IF SOMEONE IS RACIST....IT IS NOT GODLY....GOD IS CALLING US TO LOVE AND RESPECT ALL RACES ...THE HUMAN RACE....RACISM IS A FORM OF HATE.....U CANNOT BE RACIST AND HAVE LOVE ....MAKE LOVE YOUR AIM....BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE....AGAIN LOVE IS COLORLESS🙏🏽🎉🎉❤😊....WE ARE ALL ONE IN JESUS CHRIST♥️🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏽
As a latino/Hispanic Christ follower, love is the biggest thing that most (talking 80% or more) Christians forget to act on a daily basis to reflect the image and character of our Lord to others no matter the skin color of the person. It is a fact that the Lord Jesus created people that are black and white and everything in between these two. Racism is no doubt demonic because the person who acts on it allows hatred and bitterness in their heart which then manifests in destructive actions and words such as insults in the form racial slurs (can lead to murder through ones mouth, because yes words are powerful and can be destructive), put downs, mockery of the other persons race, the exculsion and exploitation of people of a racial group, and to an extreme, the physical murder or lynching (like in the U.S) of a person who is different from the perpetrator. Depending on the person, it can lead to pride and arrogance (which the Lord seriously hates). In addition, living in th U.S, the countrys past has had segregation (which is carnal) which has led to many injustices and conflicts between people (there are people who deny and support this even some who claim to be "Christians" who don't realize they are ignoring or standing for something that is sinful and evil in its roots). In the Kingdom of God, the Lord Himself will not tolerate any form of hatred and segregation. In other words, there will be no room for things such as racsim and segregation. Plus, inner hatred towards others because of their race will give the devil and his demons a foothold into the persons heart which they will take more than mile with zero compassion only for the person (if they are unrepentant ) to later be exculded from the kingdom of God (yes, once again, there is no room for hatred in the Kingdom of God). At the end of the day, we are on the same team fighting against ones flesh and the dark principalities of this world. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there's neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ (Galatians 3: 28-29). Peace and blessings in Jesus name, everyone ❤
Great comment! Racism is from the devil and is evil. I see people on this thread saying it is a sin to marry other races. Do they think that we will have separate places and neighborhoods in Heaven based on race?
Yes what your saying is the truth 100% But honestly to much mixing Can lead to loss of race and culture Nothing wrong with people wanting to Keep there physical cultural identity. Without hate ❤
@MariaGasca-Reyes Good point. Yes, there is nothing wrong with marrying within one's own race or culture (of course, I agree with this). It is important to keep in mind that when people start to use stereotypes or biases of any kind (even if they sound "non offensive") as their reasoning for doing so, they become racist and sinful, which will lead to behaviors that manifest in pride, boastfulness, self-righteousness, hatred, enmity, bitterness and the related. Blessings in Jesus name 🙏
Pray for me and my wife and kid. We are lukewarm Christian. We believe in Jesus Christ as our God, but we rarely read the bible and our morals is not rooted in Christ.
Pray and ask God to give you the desire to love and seek him, even if you don’t feel inspired to do so! Also, Pray for the infilling of the Holy Spirit, because He will comfort and encourage you to do God’s will. Yohann, I will be praying for you and your family!!🙏🏽
My older brother married a bi racial women she is black and white they been married over 20 years.Praise God my family we are all born again believers 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I understand and love your point. You said women, I know that your brother is married to one woman. Women means two or more females. I thank God for your family's love and salvation. ❤️🙏🏽🤗
Another excellent message Daniel. Thank you. Living in an area with many different people, I always think to myself this verse. Man looks at the outward appearance, but God judges the heart.
@willp.8120 you have been misinformed. They were not "white" and they aren't white today. Do you actually know who were called "Adamite" and why? The sad thing about the depravity of man is that we still carries the old nature even though we are saved. People just want their particular skin color to be superior over others but God will put an end to that when we become one in Him.
@willp.8120 I also studied scriptures from the original manuscript in Greek, Hebrew and Arabic. But aside from that, my reliance is on the Spirit of Truth, the Comforter. I'm not trying to convince you either; therefore, I have turned this matter over to the Great I Am, who is Sovereign. Shalom...
I really liked this video, thank you! I wanted to add, that to the best of my understanding, Moses was Hebrew and he took a wife, Zipporah, who was from India, according to Tyndale's original version (some say she was Ethiopian). I've met true Hebrews and they seem to have a lighter skin tone with generally beautiful green eyes, whereas Zipporah was a "Cushite", and "Cush" means "black" (Numbers 12). That to me is a really good example of an inter-racial marriage that kept God in the center of their marriage.
A lot of people think they don't have control over their thoughts, but we can have that control with the help of the Holy Spirit. He is correcting me all the time and I am starting now to correct myself when I start to judge others based on my old thinking. The more control we give God over our lives, the easier it is to banish unwanted thoughts that creep in.
You are rite but there is soo much racism. And iam getting sick of it. People are weird these days 😢😢 there is a chinnise girl who is in loved with me. And her fam I think don't like me cause iam greek. This really bugs me alot her parents arnt respecting me. I need advice what should I do 😢😢
@@fighterthug1793 I personally would not do it for the fact that her family will hate you and as a Greek you are family oriented. This will create lots of stress for you and resentment. You will grow to detest them as they make comments about you or do things passively against you. If they don't respect you now, take it as a sign and move on; it will only get worse. You deserve better.
@tmc1373 I agree but I still love her and she has feelings for me. These racial things are bullshit in cultures iam sick of them. We're all made by the same creator. I somtimes feel soo frustrated that I say to myself I rather be single. Anyone can marry anyone from any race and there shouldn't be no divisions.
@@fighterthug1793 I understand. Just be careful and try to think of how it will affect you if you marry her and they still don't accept you or treat you with the respect you deserve. Think of how they may slight your children or make offhanded comments to them or how they may treat the kids fine but still have much disdain for you. How will that make you feel? Also, her other family members may not treat you or your children like family, either. I know it's a hard situation now, but It will be even harder for you if you lock yourself in to a situation and then feel trapped later on. The decision is yours, of course, but please take it all to God in prayer and ask Him before you decide to marry her.
Hello.. Thank you for this video, I've dealt with racism my whole life My husband is white so we do deal with this. I wish People would understand that we are all the same race which is the human race. 💛
Salmon married Rahab, the Canaanite woman from Jericho, and she was one of the ancestors of Jesus. Nowhere is interracial marriage forbidden in the Bible
You are absolutely wrong. Ezr. 9 shows the returning Jews being rebuked for marrying Gentiles. The prophet even says that the Jews sinned against God by doing so. In ch. 10, he said that whoever didn't send their families away would be cut off and their properties forfeited. That's how serious a matter it was. Jezebel was also an ancestor of Jesus(2 Kin. 8.16,18, Matt. 1:8), but it doesn't change the fact that Ahab sinned against God by marrying her.
@@theeternalsbeliever1779 look what is emphasized in Ezra 9: “The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, ACCORDING TO THEIR ABOMINATIONS” “shall we again break Your commandments and intermarry with the peoples WHO COMMIT THESE ABOMINATIONS?” (The emphasis is on the fact that they commit abominations)

What I really love about your videos Daniel is that you go beyond the surface topic, yet without it feeling irrelevant. And you always try to weave in the Gospel message regardless of what topic you’re covering! Keep it up! 👍
According to the Bible God created the human race so there is only one race, the human race. But different ethnicities. So I prefer to rather refer to this issue as ethnocentrism, not racism as there is only one human race period.
Marrying any race is good, but marrying another religion is dangerous...as long as you marry a Christian and both partners are firm in their faith, it is good.
I was muslim when I got married to Christian he is my cousin but I married him in church but my intension was to turn him in islam but jesus christ incounter me now I am Christian baptised with holy spirit in February 2024 thank u Jesus christ of Nazareth for giving me salvation hallelujah ❤ My husband never giveup on me he always preach bible to me and giveup on quran..quran is satanic book islam is satanic religion...now we both working on my fmly they are still muslim..pray that they incounter Jesus christ of Nazareth halleluya.
Ha ha ha....lol nothing like a good back fire!!! I love your story. My friend saw a very attractive neighbor...she found out he was a Christian..so she got a bible to learn some scriptures, so she could capture him ...lol. God OPENED HER EYES while she was reading the Bible!!!! Ha ha ha thats how God called her. ❤
If we could unzip our skin and step out we would see that God made us all with the same flesh and bone and blood. we are all the same under our skin we each are sculpted a little different but still made in his image. Thanks DLM God Bless.
I read the Bible but I've never come across anything like that..I just always for years thought God met be with your own kind....he met Religion...not the color of your skin because he made us all.. I've been telling others this many years and on the internet....✝️🕊️🌷🥰 I did read what he's telling you in the Bible
I'm white and my wife is a latina from the Dominican Republic and our daughter is interracial. We teach her to love others and to respect others and to judge others based on their character and not their skin tone.
Amen! For crying out loud where do they get that from?? A horse is horse, a dog is a dog; a cat is a cat. No matter what their colors are they don't divide them in races. But for humans they have so many races. I mean for real??
Great intellectual and educational video about race and interracial relationships and marriages, and i have a female cousin that is black and is about to be married to a white guy this year in August.
I wish that we Christians would follow God's word and stop this garbage about "The Black, White, Asian, etc. Church. God loves and died for ALL of us. So let us tear down that "middle wall" that separates us from our Christian brothers and sisters.
Yeah, but you may have more in common or be more attracted to someone from a different culture! It's more about compromise, and if that person, if not a believer, would be open-minded about becoming one! Now, a Christian and an atheist being together would be very troubling!
The reason why God forbid the Jews to not mix races was because other races served other gods, and he did not want their hearts to be turned away from him. Which they were time and time again of serving other races God.
This is actually super interesting! I’m not against interracial relationships but I can also see the value of all races marrying within themselves. Idc either way tho we are all free to do as we please!
That's called segregation, my friend, and that's definitely not of God!!! If God intended for all ethnicities to marry within, don't you think he would have just made one ethnicity?
Moses first wife died in the iderness while the Hebrew people were penalized for disobedience. He remarried an Ethiopian woman. I hardly think she was white. When Mose's sister Miriam murmered against her, God smote her with leprosy, meaning she had to be isolated outside the camp until she repented. That ought to tell you everything you need to know.
So true! It’s dangerous to speak against those God has blessed! How can people still believe in racial hierarchy and call themselves a Christian. It’s so clear in scripture that a baby Christian would know better. In America, some people were taught that they were better than Blacks. But once they get Saved, one should know better, because it’s hard to love and treat someone right if you think you’re better than them!
@@gladysross1163 suffix “Ian” means belong to , “Christ” refers to Jesus Christ , so when we combine the two it means belonging to Jesus Christ , so a Christian is someone who belongs to Jesus Christ
Amen Daniel!! I am from Alabama in the US and grew up during segregation etc so I have seen this so much all my life and never believed it nor could I find scripture to back up racism. I am so grateful that I have always been open fully to make friends with all people. I would have missed out on so many blessings otherwise! Love your sermons! Keep it up. Such a great ministry! God bless ❤
I am a Afrikaner, and married a Portuguese man, when we both got born again, our different back grounds still as a problem, but by God's mercy we always overcame our differences. I live in His country no and the traditions I cannot accept. We don’t fight about it, but it will always be there, as my husband is very traditional, and being back in his country it’s worse. Very one is catholic , but we don’t go to the church. We have a Baptist in English for me to go to . But the traditions are a big stumbling block. My husband doesn’t push it on me . But his character has changed. We are married for 52 years. I daily continue to serve God and will never compromise my faith.
"And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these." - Mark 12:31 Jesus is quoting from Leviticus 19:17-18 which identifies the neighbor being spoken about as a kinsman, or in the context of Leviticus 19, Israelite kinsman. The English word brother here is rendered from the Hebrew word 'āḥ which is a word that means physical kindred. "Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD."
... Well done Daniel ... Well done brother. Jesus is NOT a racist NOR does He hate interracial marriages. God bless EVERY interracial marriage. Equally YOKED in Jesus Christ ... Genuine love DOESN'T come from skin color BUT from a sincere heart of genuine love for a person.
There is only race and that's the human race. Humans labeled other humans as different races. The only stipulation was intermarrying of different religions.
@@willp.8120 you're a racist, off cause you'll disagree. Luckily your opinion doesn't change God's word or effect His promises in any way. Take your disagreement up with Him.
@@willp.8120 like so many false teachers you are twisting the Word of God to fit your own ideas. The one thing that God left out of the Bible is your opinion. God does not see skin colour, He made us in His own image, all of us. There is no biblical proof to back your disagreement. The only logical reason you disagree is racism. You need Jesus my friend. I'm also not sure what word tripped you out and offended you that you accused me of using foul language, I also don't care. You do you and interpret the Word to fit your narrative, you will have to answer to God, not me. Have a great life and I hope you find God.
@@willp.8120 I don't have to defend myself or God's word to you, or anyone else. The marriage you are disrespecting was never, and never will be a touchy subject in our family. We serve God and He will fight for us against the enemy. So you go ahead and follow Satan and listen to his lies. As for us, we will serve the Lord. Go play now.
I'm glad you said this in love, it is a distraction. We need to hear this, acknowledge it and work through it. Our churches need to reflect this more than ever. We have segregation in the church too. Wouldn't it be great if once a month or two, our churches would join up and worship and praise God together? Together as brothers and sisters in Christ.
You are right. There isn't anything wrong with it. In fact, when Jesus says "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these" in Mark 12:31. He is quoting from Leviticus 19:17-18 which identifies the neighbor being spoken about as a kinsman, or in the context of Leviticus 19, Israelite kinsman. The English word brother here is rendered from the Hebrew word 'āḥ which is a word that means physical kindred. "Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD."
There are many issues in interracial marriage and remember the children do not get a choice. Nations are willed by God and high levels of intermarriage can impact a nation negatively.
It’s so sad seeing some of these negative comments. These people are showing they really lack the love for Gods people and are being used by the devil. Jesus says , “this how they will know that you are my disciples ,that you love one another.” If even said if you don’t live your neighbor than you don’t love him.
Moses was married to an Etheopian woman names Zapporah. She saved Moses life when she circumcized their son when Moses was disobedient by not doing it.
Moses also married more than one woman, does that mean polygamy is fine? So many christians cherry pick what fit their narrative instead of being consistent. Either accept that polygamy is fine or accept that interracial marriage is not Godly.
@@socialscience2691 I am not cherry picking and you should read the Bible to learn of God's wisdom and meanings. In the Old Testament having more than one wife was not necessarily ideal but it was not prohibited as a sin. When Jesus came he clearly stated to the Pharisees when a man gets married to a woman the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one. God's ultimate design for marriage is to display the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In marriage the husband respesents Christ and the bride represents the church or those of us that are saved.
@@lisagardner903 Oh so you're saying God changed his mind? A sin is always sin. Definition of sin and what constitutes as sin does not change over time and space. Next thing you'll say that homosexuality isn't a sin. lol. Modern christians.
@@socialscience2691 God is alpha and omega and he sent Jesus to fulfill the law. Just about everything we do is a sin but Jesus gave us instructions for s specific kind of righteousness by believing HE is the Christ. Jesus Christ died on the cross for all of our sins so that whoever believes in HIM will have everlasting life.
@@lisagardner903 Not Denying anything you say here but this does not mean race mixing isn't a sin. And Jesus dying on the cross for our sins does not mean we can continue to live in sin. We must repent of our sins which means not only asking for forgiveness but also that we must turn away from it.
If you are a Christian, you can not be racist. We all come from same father and mother, yes, we have different cultures, but our colours is God blessing, and God loves all of us.
Yup, exactly. God is not a respecter of persons He loves everyone the same and treats everyone the same regardless so we can't be like that. It doesn't matter what anyone else says it matters what God says. No race is superior over the other or sm like that
@@willp.8120 oh you’re so wrong 😂 Jesus himself wasn’t even white with long hair and blue eyes men with long hair are an abomination to begin with in the Bible most of the people are of color and God picking a royal priesthood has nothing to do with racism. That’s his chosen generation. He loves everyone else the same that’s why everyone can be saved. I’m not going to sit here and debate you because of your ignorance and self righteousness, but I do hope you know that you’re very wrong and repent.
@@Gottahave_Faith.Ignore that guy. He's a racist and God will deal with him. I'm a product of mixed blood, half white and half hispanic. In his eyes, I'm somehow not human or worthy to be a child of God. However, I'm exactly as God made me, a human who happens to have mixed blood. I'm also attracted to white girls and asian girls, so im sure it makes him even more angry, which is why I laugh at him.
Thank you for being the person that you are and thank you to your parents for raising you well. May the blessing of God stay with you and your family always 🙏🙏🙏and may the peace 🕊️ and love of God that surpasses all understanding remain with you and your family always. I'm an Anglican myself
The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, to be holy both in the body and in the spirit --- how she may please the Lord. 1 Corinthians 7:34 it really is, as Christ is the root of the tree, so are his branches holy.
Why did Ezra & Nehemiah have the Israelite men that had taken foreign wives, have them send away their wives and their children? Why not just convert them rather than send them away if "race" was not a factor. In Ezra 9:2 it says that the Israelites had "mingled" their "holy seed." This word holy just means separate, or something that needs to be set apart. The word seed is the Hebrew word zeraʿ. This word is used a lot throughout the Old Testament for one's posterity like in Genesis 15:3 concerning Isaac. "Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass." - Ezra 9:1-2
Dear Brother in Christ I wanted to Thank You for Coming out with this Message regarding Marriage. Many Need to Hear this as it is True. God Bless You Always
It is the sin the causes evil . All people are sinful and not everyone has had a fair shot in life . There are spiritual forces behind things as well to make people be against one another .
