@Jan Pearson LMBO....so God failed huh? Ummm...they were all on the same land. How many races could there have been? And seeing that we're talking Genesis and all people coming from Adam and Eve and residing on the same land before it was separated....your argument sounds even dumber. Funny how in Revelation God ends up collecting His family from all over the world of every race ,tribe and tongue. Multicultural Kingdom. And I don't see a verse for any of that mess you're saying.

Very true, brother. No wonder the body of Christ, though a mixed group culturally, still shares one thing in common: we worship Jesus Christ who remains forever and ever.

@Jan Pearson could you explain it more in depth’ please?

@Jan Pearson No, God didn't want Israel to mix with other countries because of Idol worship. Psalms 106:38 (KJV) And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. As Mike Winger said God defended Moses for marrying Zipporah(Numbers 12). He also approved of Samson's first marriage. Judges 14:2-4 (KJV) And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife. Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well. But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel. No, I'm talking about Delilah because he didn't meet her yet. Read Judges chapter 16. The woman that he was engaged to her name was never mentioned in the bible. Joseph married Asenath who was Egyptian Genesis 41:45 (KJV) And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt. If you read the book of Esther you'll know that she married King Xerxes who was Persian.

@Jan Pearson According to what scripture do you have to back up what you're saying? Zipporah was Ethiopian which a nation that's dark skinned, so by your own logic God defends interracial marriage because according to you Moses was white and Zipporah was black.

Jan Pearson the body of Christ includes those of every race tribe and tongue. Our faith and belief in Christ is what unites us nothing more nothing less... our brothers and sisters are are those who also submit to and follow Jesus Christ! That is the only prerequisite not skin color! God brought his word to the Jews but also the gentiles (everyone else) your claim is baseless

Absolutely. I watched other women who had unequally yoked marriages and vowed I would not do that...but I turned 27 and came off a failed engagement to a Christian man, heard my bio clock tic and the next man who took an interest became my unequally yoked husband! It is so important to listen to God and deny yourself. He has been a Christian 3 yrs now but we've been married 10 yrs! I can't help but wonder if much of our head butting could have been prevented if I had let God work a little longer before marriage.

@Caleb M When you're really close to God and unsaved man isn't even attractive.

@@kimwilson2514 The great thing is that we serve a God who redeems, so there are many stories like yours of God redeeming an unequally yoked marriage by using the believing spouse to bring their other half to himself. It is unfortunate though that some people (men and women) use those examples as a way to tell themselves that they can marry a non-believer because it will work out in the end.

I am a long-time supporter of Thru The Bible ministry and listen everyday, and here's what the (late) founder J. Vernon McGee says on this subject (paraphrased, of course): Ladies [it could apply to Christian men dating an unsaved woman but I think that scenario happens less often], if you cannot lead your young man to the Lord during your dating days when he's so eager to please you, what makes you think he will become a Christian AFTER you're married??? When Dr. McGee was a pastor, he would not perform weddings between "mixed" (saved/unsaved) couples, and it would often happen that the disappointed Christian would storm out of counseling and defiantly go find some other pastor who would conduct the ceremony. All too often, in a few years' time, the wife would be back in McGee's office with tears in her eyes declaring that she should have listened to him and never married this unsaved man. One of McGee's gems: "When you marry an unsaved person, you have the devil as your father-in-law." (Yes, I find this subject interesting because unfortunately I have my own story of disobedience in the area of unequally yoked marriage. Consequences, consequences long after the Lord has forgiven.)

@@KingsDaughter1958 If McGee didn't marry a man & woman who are saved because they're 2 different ethnicities then he is not a man of God. Acts 17:26-27 (KJV) 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: Genesis 41:45 (KJV) And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt. Numbers 12:1-15 (KJV) And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman. And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it. (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.) And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out. And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth. And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed. And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned. Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb. And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee. And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again. And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

Ruth was a white Israelite. She was not a Moabites by blood but by area. She was a white woman, and she married Boaz who was an Israelite, from the tribe of Judah.

If there is no such thing as "race", then why are there so many measurable differences between the "races," physically, socially, etc.? It's bad and wrong to elevate one over another or to assign value to these various metrics, but to deny the data seems naive.

@@Charles.Wright Those differences are a part of the minor genetic differences that Andy Patt is talking about.

Joshua Erickson, what do you mean by “..inconsequential is false and dangerous and will prove the downfall of western society by its implementation”? Sorry, but this language seems rather strong and echos the white nationalists I’ve been engaging lately.

Andy Patt The issue with the left media is that race is perpetuated as a means to have problems to harp on in the future, so that they can continue pretending that they are the party of inclusivity and diversity. There is also an issue with media on the right ignoring the issue by simply saying that race is a social construct. People involved with social justice are unfortunately manipulated by the media on the left, because they place their faith (trust) in them. And the problem with those who side with the media on the right is that they are also being manipulated by them. While many will claim to be Christians, they approach any issues dealing with racism and oppression with a lack of empathy and compassion, unless they've been told by conservative media what they should fight for (which is exactly what happens on the left too). The real problem is a lack of the love of the truth, on all sides, and faith in people, instead of faith in Jesus. The racial issues we have in this country are because people on both sides of government, as well as those behind the scenes, make a concerted effort to never have problems solved, or to go to the extreme so that problems are made worse. People in the general public will take sides, failing to know and understand the truth for themselves. This is the result of the evil and demonic activity going on in the spiritual world to divide and distract humanity, of course. Of course race is a social construct, but people are still facing racism and and people are continuing to commit racist acts, so the solution can't just be "race is a social construct, so stop talking about race". That ideology solves nothing either. All I know is that God is angry at the injustice and evil that is committed whether it is done for racist or non-racist reasons, so liberals and conservatives are both the problem, which is why we all need Jesus and should all be open to accepting Him into our lives, if we haven't already. If we have, we *MUST* understand and live by the fact that Jesus told us that we are to love Him, and love others as He has loved us.

@@joshuaerickson8888 You are making a false generalization. Skin shade is essentially on/off switches in melanin production in the skin. There are multiple "switches" and the more turned on vs off affects the amount of pigment and therefore the shade of brown. Male vs female is an entirely different chromosome, X vs Y. Minor is a loose term but you have to be careful when comparing 2 things that are dramatically different ends of the "minor" spectrum.

I would go as far to say that going to Church doesn't make them a Christian. Romans 8:9 Revelation 21:8 John 10:27

I disagree. It was ineffective and wobbly. Mike felt compelled to stand by and to rationalize everything God did, said or condoned in the old testament. Including the calls for and acts of discrimination, ethnocentrism and mistreatments of others. Wow! First of all, the whole idea of Jews being god’s elect people is not just ethnocentric it is a racist one, by definition. He tap-danced around the idea of racism and then outright denied it by declaring “they were all of the same race” or “Moses took a black wife!” Why is it so hard for apologists to admit the obvious “the god described in the old testament was narrow-minded, sectarian and bigoted!” Every single example given by Mike, unintendedly, illustrates that fact. “We good, you bad!”. The appalling “unevenly yoked” doctrine and a few others... Another example missing from Mike's rebuttal could be Phineas, the so-called zealot, who killed a mix couple (including the Jew in the couple) and got high praises for it (Numbers 25: 7-13). Mike admits it, in a way by stating “You are free to marry anyone you wish, as long as they are Jews!” Yuk!!! In that statement, anyone can replace the word Jews by Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, Southerners, Catholics… you name it. That is ethnocentrism and sectarianism at its best. Are apologists just like acrobats and contortionists? Bending over backwards, jumping high and low and always making sure to fall on their feet (no matter what) to please their audiences? I guess, it is a good thing that the new testament came to correct (and maybe dismiss) the Jew-supremacist god of the old testament. What took the "new" god so long?

People have always recognized racial differences because they're visually obvious.

Hi Vance! I have several videos related to this so I’ll share them here and you can check out what you think is useful. These two videos are about how we can understand and apply the Old Testament Law. kzfaq.info/sun/PLZ3iRMLYFlHuBirH5Rw3IhJinWrcTufY6 This is a playlist of videos dealing with the teachings of the “Hebrew Roots” movement. They say we must obey the Law of Moses as Christians, just like the Jews did. I get pretty deep in these 4 videos. kzfaq.info/sun/PLZ3iRMLYFlHuOD_BytSxbejzCnGPOcgFw I think we can abstain from pork if we choose but that we are under no command from God to do so. I actually think the Bible is very clear on this issue so I hope that my content helps.

Hey Vance! I am glad to hear of God's salvation in your life. I am familiar with you from the Tecmo football video games.

From a medical perspective I was talking to a nurse once who told me that in the hospitals in France they don't serve pork to children and old people because they are more fragile. So they know that this meat takes a toll on our health...

And He said to them, “Are you also as lacking in understanding? Don’t you realize that nothing going into a man from the outside can defile him? For it doesn’t go into his heart but into the stomach and is eliminated.” -- JESUS said that food means nothing. It's the heart that matters.

They should remain in that marriage and show them the light of Christ so that the unbelieving spouse may be saved. If you truly love your spouse you would not want them to go to hell and who knows they could've came to the faith first before you so it is a blessing to be saved and kind of would be selfish to just walk away from the marriage without trying to your spouse what it looks like to be saved. What you asked was very common moreso in the first century over today because the fathers were giving their daughters to marriage and marriages were arranged. So many who were already married had one that heard and believed while the other hadn’t heard the gospel and believed, or one was still performing the law of Moses while the other was saved, or one spouse was saved and the other heard and rejected it. So when we have come to the faith in marriage BEFORE our spouse when initially both of us were not of the faith before marriage the way you show love is to have faith that Christ in you will use you to be a visual example to your spouse who has not yet believed. They will be with you day and night everyday. That is a powerful impact on their lives. As it is written in 1 Corinth 7 if the unbelieving spouse WANTS to remain in marriage with the believer then stay. This is a good thing because the unbeliever is showing curiosity as in the movies Case for Christ. They are more inclined to consider just as you were. But if they want to go let them go. Why? A couple of reasons. Love is not forced. If the unbelieving spouse is causing mayhem, is hateful towards you, and can not stand your new life in Christ and remains jealous as they want to be first and not God then it is already in their heart that they don't want God. You see this even moreso in dating relationships when one begins walking with Jesus and the other doesn't want to change then distance is created between them and that person is pushed away because they hate God so they won't stand being around you. If they don't want God they don't want the believing spouse either and more than likely there will be constant strife in that marriage when marriage was meant to be godly and of peace. They more than likely will be a horrible influence to you and can stumble your walk while trying to draw you away from God and so if they want to leave let them leave. Anything that tries to draw you away from God especially when you want God He will take what is His and protect you. Happened to me with my ex boyfriend. I moved across country away from the man that didn't want Jesus but who I found out later was going to propose to me. God took me far away from him. In a committed marriage before God BOTH parties are supposed to already have marriage to God first. But since both married as unbelievers and one is now Jesus bride while the other is not and they are showing that they don't want to be, then they also have shown who they want to be as their head, "husband", and provider which is not Jesus but Satan. God already says for those who do not want Him that He gives them over to their desires. That's love. People go "whoring" after other gods so God gives them over to what they want. In a way the new believer in the marriage does the same thing as God does to the unbeliever who does not want to stay married to them (even after trying and being faithful). The new believer lets them go and be to their own desires which is not of God. And since sin starts in the heart and is thought up before acted upon when that unbeliever wants to leave the marriage because their spouse came to Christ they are also showing their fruits in that they want to remain in sin and remain full of lusts and pride but they can't comfortably do so around and with their "new" spouse, so they leave and go be with someone else who enjoys wickedness so you can let them go. They can not and will not appreciate or love in marriage as God intended and they will be judged accordingly before God if they continue in sin and die in their sins without repentance. But that's for if two people didn't believe and married and one came to Christ first not for casual dating or courting because we are told to not fellowship with an unbeliever when we are single and in Christ.

HarleyGirl 2007 ohhhhh such a beautiful and powerful testimony. This put a huge smile to my face!!!!! I bless the name of the Lord for blessing your husband Joe and May He continue to bless your marriage for years to come in Jesus name!!!!

@@xraycoach1 haha! Yeah Pastor Winger has been a huge blessing in my life, I'm so happy that you've found this channel to be helpful yourself! What a funny coincidence to see you here 😂😂😂 its a small world.

EXACTLY. BINGO.

You're wrong on everything except on Solomon taking in idols. God was angry with him for that, but he was angry at Israel for building Golden Galf, which had nothing to do with the other nations at all. Nowhere in Revelation 21:8 does it say that you can't marry someone from a different ethnicity. You can do so as long as both are true believers in Christ(2 Corinthians 6:14). You should also read the book of Esther and Ruth as well. Acts 17:26-27 (KJV) 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: Genesis 41:45 (KJV) And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt. Numbers 12:1-15 (KJV) And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman. And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it. (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.) And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out. And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth. And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed. And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned. Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb. And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee. And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again. And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

Those are definitely real. Haha Haribo gummy bears.

My marriage was ruined by Christians telling my ex, who is an atheist but believes everyone goes to heaven, that Deuteronomy meant he would never go to heaven as long as he was married to a brown woman but at the same time they told me that divorcing him for abuse was against the Bible and he had to be the one to leave.

@@misst1928 What?! I'm so sorry for what you've been through. God bless you Sis 💖

"Christian" spelled with 3 K's

Hi, I would say check 1 Corinthians 7: 12-16, but do try and have a face to face talk with a church elder/pastor if you are worried

Nice, another Bible reader!

No, your pets would not be with you in heaven. They do not have "eternal" life.

God could give you a pet physically and mentally identical to the one you have in this life. I don't know that He won't.

Read Isaiah chapter 11, it discusses the second coming of the Messiah and what life will be like. Part of that includes several verses describing carnivores and herbivores living in harmony and children playing with venomous snakes like they would a puppy. "They will not kill or slay in all my holy mountain," says the Lord. Additionally in Genesis 1:30 states that animals as well as man were given the plants to eat. From this we can conclude that death and suffering was foreign to the entire creation not just mankind, and came into the world as the result of Adam's sin, where all of creation was cursed, including a breakdown of the natural order into what we see today. Nature wasn't always meant to be 'red in tooth and claw' as the saying goes. Of note, the Hebrew word describing living things, the equivalent of 'soul' in English, is 'nephesh' and is used for both human beings as well as animals in scripture, while plants are not described as having a nephesh/soul. Add onto these the various verses in the poetic books about animals dependent upon God for their sustenance, the ending verse of Jonah and Matthew 6:25-26 and I think it's quite obvious that animals will get to experience peaceful eternity in heaven, including our pets. The only place in the bible were I can see people deriving a doctrine of animals not going to heaven is from Ecclesiastes 3:21, "Who knows whether the spirit of man goes upward and the spirit of the beast goes down into the earth?" But in the context of the surrounding verses, Solomon likens mankind to the beasts, as both are dependent upon God for their breath and both return to dust upon death, so the question seems to be rhetorical on his part, exclaiming that mankind isn't so lofty as we suppose ourselves to be, extolling humility on our part before the Lord as without Him all is vanity.

Beckey Girard I just wanted to give you three things to ponder on about our pets being in heaven. In Genesis 9:5b it talks about animals having to give an account for their lives. Second, Jesus told us that our Father in heaven loves us even more than we love our children here on earth. If we desire to give our children good gifts, how much more will he give us good gifts. Lastly, in the book of Revelation it mentions that Jesus will be riding on a white horse when he returns a second time to earth.

Agreed Moses married Zipporah who was a Midian & as Mike Winger said God defended him for doing so.(Numbers 12) Joseph married an Egyptian woman named Asenath(Genesis 41:45) Obviously they didn't read the book of Esther and Ruth either.

Get baptized Acts 2 38. Peter even told gentiles get baptized.
