RESPONSE TO QUESTION #36

Interracial marriages are not condemned in the New Testament. In the Old it was because God wanted to keep the nation of Israel pure so Christ could come of Abraham's seed. Even then there were many exceptions, such as Moses and his wife, Ruth being married to Boaz and others.

The unequal yoke had to do with not marrying non Christians and had nothing to do with race. In the New Testament there is no distinction. Romans 10:13-17; Galatians 3:28.

While there may be advantages or disadvantages, there is no law from the Lord.
