We don't agree, as you can imagine. God's law is law in principle. Here are a couple of the laws dealing with the *principle* of mixing, which are grounded in the sixth commandment, Thou Shalt not Kill: Lev. 18:22-23, Lev. 19:19, Deut. 22:9-11. And here is a story to read: Numbers 25 And let's not forget the NT application of it as expounded on by Paul. II Cor 6:14. The burden of God's law is against inter-religious, inter-racial, and inter-cultural marriage; what we call mixing. One should know the letter of and be able to apply the principle or *spirit* of the Law-Word of God. Mixing, hybridization, unequal yoking: God forbids it, and the state god so many people seem to look to for their standard doesn't force it, so the point about obeying the laws of the land in this respect is moot, although, interestingly enough, laws against miscegenation were in effect in North America since colonial times until very recently. I wonder how that changed...hmmm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-miscegenation_laws <blockquote>In North America, laws against interracial marriage and interracial sex existed and were enforced in the Thirteen Colonies from the late seventeenth century onwards, and subsequently in several US states and US territories <strong>until 1967</strong>. </blockquote> <blockquote><strong>Miscegenation has become increasingly accepted in the United States since the Civil Rights movement and up to the present day.</strong></blockquote> Thanks for your comment JH.

In North America, laws against interracial marriage and interracial sex existed and were enforced in the Thirteen Colonies from the late seventeenth century onwards, and subsequently in several US states and US territories until 1967.

Miscegenation has become increasingly accepted in the United States since the Civil Rights movement and up to the present day.

These are misinterpretations of the scriptures. On the contrary, The Bible states that "God is impartial, and every man or woman fearing him is acceptable to him, no matter what nation, people, tribe or tongue." The only instance where this would be forbidden, would be if a christian lived in a land where interracial marriage was against the law, as we must obey the laws of the land. However, there would be nothing wrong with moving to a country where one could marry interracially. With all due respect, the Bible does not forbid racial marriage, or “mixing” at all.
