Mix-Race Couple Sparks Media Spasm.
The news media continues to stir up the brainwashed webbots into mindless stampedes of online chatter about racism, this time “shocking” the world about a free-will Baptist church in the South that is
banning inter-racial couples.
How will the government solve the “crisis”?
A local church’s right to govern its own membership is not within the purview of any government – it is a right that it has directly from God. This however requires civil government to exercise self-restraint – it must refrain itself from interfering with religious matters. Unfortunately history tells us that governments quite often get taken over by sectarian fanatics who use the police to control ecclesiastical affairs (google: religious persecution if you don’t believe me).
Given the hubris, hypocrisy, and rabid secular-sectarianism of the people now running the United States government, we shouldn’t be surprised if some sort of Federal “investigation” is now launched against the “racism” at this small Baptist church – along with a few lawsuits by the ACLU, of course. It won’t matter whether they win or lose, either way mission accomplished: the church will have to shut down – it will be bankrupted just paying its lawyers’ fees to defend itself.
Facing that prospect, it won’t be surprising if they aren’t cowed into changing their decision after getting a barrage of unsolicited hate-mail from a million unsaved demoniacs who got stirred up like hornets by the news media. With the policy changed, the members will leave and go attend a different church. And so, whatever happens, one inconsiderate couple of confused race mixers will have succeeded in destroying a small Baptist church by their selfishness.
Can a “Bible teacher” be trusted to tell the truth?
The blog hireling ignoramuses at “
gracethrufaith.com” gave this answer to a question asking what the Bible says on the interracial marriage issue:
A. The Bible doesn’t contain any restriction against inter-racial marriage. The children of these marriages may not be accepted by some, but that’s due to racial discrimination not religion. Neither Jews nor Christians are supposed to marry outside their faith. Paul warned Christians against this in 2 Cor. 6:13-15.
Wrong. It would be unfair to suggest that the gracethrufaith morons are particularly stupid – their answer is just a rehash of the politically correct pig-slop you’d get from any ill-informed “Christian celebrity” – they all seek to maintain a positive news-media image by evading any mention of negative Bible truth.
Genesis Still Governs All Mankind – Saved or Lost.
The first 12 chapters of Genesis have never been repealed. They are as binding upon mankind today as the day they were first written. Therefore if you want to know what God’s perfect unalterable design for defining what marriage is – you can find it at Genesis : Adam & Eve – one man marries one woman.
So what do you do if you are a sex-pervert, like U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn R. Walker, who wants to engage in buggery with his boyfriend and also wants to force the rest of society to call his fornication a “marriage,” – how do you attempt to justify yourself? If you want to attempt a religious covering for your sin you could quote “there is neither male nor female” in Galatians 3:28, of course.
See how it is done? By dropping the phrase “for ye are all one in Christ Jesus“ when you quote Galatians 3:28, you can pretend that the nullification of race and gender has to do with physical relationships instead of spiritual relationships. You hacked the verse in two in order to prove a lie: that allegedly everybody is the now same physically and can therefore engage in marriage with anybody – men with men, women with women, and blacks with whites. That monstrous lie is the satanic method of scripture exposition. It is done all over the “Christian” world today – just like that: Pretending that what are only Christian spritiual truths apply now to the unregenerate world in which we still live. Nothing could be further from the truth than that.
Man Unites – but God Divides.
Genesis 10 shows us that it was God’s design for mankind to divide out in the earth by families – starting with Noah’s three sons.
The 3 sons of Noah split up (Caucasian, Oriental, Hammite) and each of their sons then branches off into various families that then become the building blocks of the nations of the world. According to the Bible’s table of the nations in Genesis 10, every nation issues forth from one forefather – from the descent of his personal family. Therefore the core identity of each nation is found in the intertwined family relationships of its people because they nearly all have the exact same ancestors. The family resemblance is seen in the likeness of the people – this is their ethnic identity.
As one owes a duty to one’s immediate family, one also owes a national duty to his nation because it is composed of his kin. Paul writes, “But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” 1 Timothy 5:8. Notice how Paul states the duty to provide goes to one’s own extended kin, and beyond the immediate family. Strong ties of blood kinship unite a nation together and they care for one another. Mingle the peoples, and you weaken society’s internal sympathy – people become callous and uncaring for one another.
The division of the Human race by God is hard-coded into Genesis 10 and no more can you undo Genesis chapter 10 than you can repeal pain in childbirth, make women equal to men, end sweaty work, loose Ham from his yoke, stop bloodshed, or stop thorns and thistles from growing out of the ground. Attempting to annul the decrees of Genesis 1-12 is the great aspiration of modern man – but he will never succeed.
God Scattered the First Race-Mixers.
The men in Genesis 11 didn’t want to be divided into the boundaries assigned for them – they wanted to all be “one” (sound familiar?). They chose themselves a city where they could have the same “lingo” and race-mix together and start a NASA Space Exploration program. But God came down and just divided them up worse than before by making their languages unintelligible from one another. It says, “So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.” Genesis 11:8.
God’s Racial Policy.
We read in Moses’s song:
“When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.” Deut. 32:8.
So from Deuteronomy 32:8 we see that God’s racial program for mankind involves three things:
- division,
- separation, and
- boundaries.
Notice that God’s policies for race are not unity, miscegenation, or immigration … Did you notice that?? Why if you did, then you you are light-years ahead of the dopey frauds who run the “gracethrufaith.com” blog – they wrote, “The Bible doesn’t contain any restriction against inter-racial marriage” !! Talk about a “boo-boo” – talk about nonsense – they take the cake.
To excuse race-mixing the “answer man” at gracethrufaith claims that the only restrictions in the Bible are those that prevent Jews or Christians from marrying pagans. Really? Then how come none of the people scattered, divided, separated, or put behind boundaries in Genesis 11 or Deuteronomy 32:8 were Christians or Jews?? They were all heathens – and yet none of them were allowed to race-mix.
In fact, where this reappears in the New Testament Paul confirms again that the nations are to be divided:
“And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:” Acts 17:26-27.
God took one blood and divided it into separate nations that are supposed to dwell behind boundaries. Nothing could be more clear! Except if you are an ecumenical socialist “Christian” who is anxious for hastening the advent of a new Babylon under the antichrist’s coming one-world-government.
Notice that Paul gives a reason: “That they should seek the Lord…” To integrate the first thing men do is throw God out. All gods must be accepted – and all societal “norms” rejected. Without having a single standard of behaviour enforced by racial identity (“our kind of people don’t act that way”) the nation quickly degrades to the lowest levels of immorality. But nations that convert to Christianity are homogenous and have a strong moral sense – they typically do so en-mass by the group once that becomes acceptable as part of their national identity.
“He Sinned, So Why Can’t I?”
Good place to start stirring up alibis for sin is to use the sins of God’s servants. Sort of like saying, “Well since David committed adultery, why can’t I?” Is that persuasive? No, yet these folks will actually do just that by pointing to Moses’ mistake – he went and got himself an Ethiopian concubine: “And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.” Numbers 12:1.
Moses had no business taking to himself an Ethiopian woman – after all he already had a wife! His first wife’s name was Zipporah, daughter of Jethro the Midianite – a clan related to the Hebrews through Abraham (Exodus 2:21, 4:25, 18:2; Gen. 25:2). Moses made a big mistake – he married a woman descended from Ham, the line cursed by Noah in Genesis 9:25.
Like any sin, Moses’ sin caused him problems – it sparked a mini-rebellion from his own sister and brother. Lesson: When you race-mix you are certain to cause family problems for yourself. Although God silenced Miriam’s rebellion, he never condoned Moses’ sin of marrying the Ethiopian woman. In fact, if any children were born of her, they were excluded from the national genealogy: “The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.” 1 Chron. 23:15 (cf. Ex. 18:3-4).
Another example is the race-mixing by King Solomon. He knew better, but he failed to keep his own advice. Nehemiah contended against the race-mixing Jews of his day by using Solomon as an example:
“And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves. Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.” Nehemiah 13:25-26.
The word “outlandish” means “from outside the land” – i.e., foreigners. Things that are “outlandish” come from another country – hence the modern connotation which has come to mean something very strange, odd, and/or totally inappropriate, etc.
Note what Ezra says regarding these “out-land-ish” women, “Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.” They sent away their own half-breed children along with their foreign wives.
Note how this differs from the answer given by the imbecile at “gracethrufaith” who said, “The children of these marriages may not be accepted by some, but that’s due to racial discrimination not religion”. So this clown thinks that Ezra and Nehemiah were simply racists – that they had no religious basis for booting the children out? See what a mess he created for himself? You cannot teach a lie like race-mixing and have the scriptures back you up.
Exceptions Only Prove the Rule.
Of course, somebody will say “What about Ruth?” And what about it? You think because God made one exception in one case where a race-mixing occurred, that you then don’t have to follow the rest of the Bible? Peter walked on water – once. Did you ever try it?
Ruth the Moabitess is an exceptional case, and God proved his grace through such an exception. Nevertheless, don’t forget how the exception of Ruth intially came about by compromising and sin. A Jew named Elimelech sinned by leaving the land of Bethlehemjudah with his wife and two sons during a famine – he lacked faith in the promises of God to stay in his own land. His son Mahlon married a foreign girl – breaking the rule against race-mixing. And what happened to Elimelech and Mahlon for their sins? They both died! (Ruth 1:3)
Now after that Jew Mahlon died – Ruth was his widow – the widow of a Jew. That changed her status. She was now a special case for a special reason. The sin of race-mixing had been paid for by the death of her first husband! It was now incumbent upon Mahlon’s brethern to raise up a son in the name of the dead by marrying his Moabitess wife (
levirate marriage). (This has a theological type in that Christ joined our sinful flesh to die for us that we might be saved by his resurection – see, Romans 7:3-4.)
Don’t ever try to play fast and loose with God’s laws by claiming exceptions for yourself. You might end up miserable or even dead because of your sins.
Don’t Muddy the Waters.
Proverbs chapter 5 admonishes the wise son to avoid, “the lips of a strange woman” – warning of dangers from entanglement with a foreign woman: “Lest thou give thine honour unto others … Leststrangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger“
Proverbs 5 continues:
“15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers’ with thee.
18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.”
In Genesis 1:20 the word “life” appears for the first time and it is associated with waters. In John 3:5“born of water” is a reference to the water-burst that precedes the natural birth of a child from his mother’s womb. In Isaiah 48:1 the Jewish nation is refered to as, “O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah…”
Thus the scriptures clearly associate the waters with the natural birth and one’s family lineage by natural descent. With this concept we understand the metaphor of Proverbs 5:15-16 – it already warned against foreigners – and the waters describe the ethnic racial identity of the man – his family line.
Thus it describes that your life came down to you as a stream of water down from your forefathers – you are born into a particular stream; you are supposed to stay in that stream – and add to its contents by having children. You have an obligation to the family line – the stream or cistern – to maintain its distinct identity.
Solomon advises (v. 15) that the man drinks “out of thine own cistern” and “thine own well” – which means you are to marry [drink] from your own race – look to that stream and do not marry outside of it. When you marry your own race (v. 16) you will help your own people flourish, with a homogenous population filling up the streets – instead of being oppressed by seeing foreigners and mingled people over take you ["...those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell." Numbers 33:55]. Further, (v. 17) you should protect your waters – “let them by only thine own” – that is, do not let foreigners marry into your stream – that is a living water, your own racial heritage.
Hear Solomon’s sage advice:
“20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman,
and embrace the bosom of a stranger?”
Who would be so asinine as to completely ignore the advice of the wisest man who ever lived and foolishly declare, “The Bible doesn’t contain any restriction against inter-racial marriage” !?? Answer: a stupid shallow bible ignoramus who is more interested in political correctness than the truth of God.
Who Promotes Race-Mixing?
Abortion, Sodomy, Pornography, Drugs, Murder, Violence, Lying, Divorce, Child-abuse, etc … pick any standard of morality and ethics, and people are more wicked now than they were hundreds of years ago. The same “progressive” society that brought us rebellious children, profanity, credit-cards, abortion on demand, X-rated movies, feminism, no-fault divorce, rock-n-roll, evolution, and atheism – that same crowd is the one that brought us race-mixing.
Think about it: Birds of a feather flock together.
