Christianity and Intermarriage

[Indra]

Is there a passage in the bible that forbidds marriage between different races, subraces or nationalites? There is a passage in deutermony (old testament) that pagans should not be married since they would turn away a believer from the worship of god (Deuteromony 7) but even ultra-orthodox rabbis recognize that conversion is possible to judaism, its about intermarriage in faith not race. In the new testament apostle paul wrote that a christian can marry a pagan since the christian can make the pagan a christian. (1 Corinthians 7).

There are people in Bible who were married outside their nation.
Examples: Moses, Ruth,.. I think there's more an issue believer / non believer.

And since nowhere it says that marriage should take place between different nationalities, races, etc., what's the point of bringing this as a discussion?

And don't forget you're gypsy, even if Jesus would personally recommend you, that wouldn't make any difference.

And Gypsies are today turning to Pentecostal, Evangelical and even born-again churches. Call it the Providence!

I'm sure they do collect money during the "holy" mass.

And don't forget that you have a Jew on your avatar.

It was a parody my friend

In this case, it's a good parody. Only a picture of Sarkozy would have been better.
