    Could you help me out with some scripture that points out interracial relationships and if it's wrong or not please?!!

    Also help me out with scripture that proves we live in a flat earth thanks again!!

    One of the main Scriptures on inter-racial marriages is in Deuteronomy chapter 7, where Israel was forbidden to take wives from the heathen nations around them. And this was primarily because Israel was "a holy people unto the Lord" & such a union would guarantee that Israel's heart would be turned from following the true God. A particularly nasty example was seen in King Solomon in 1 Kings 11:1-13, where a once wise King erred greatly in this matter & displayed much foolishness.

    Otherwise, the Bible says or infers nothing about inter-racial marriages for Christians, except that we should have such a close union (whether in marriage or business) only with other believers: 1 Corinthians 7:39; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18.

    On the 'flat Earth', I have no further comment than already given in the past, on such a proposition.

    Cody the bible calls the earth a sphere and according to Gods Word there is nothing wrong with interracial marriages.

    Hello Dianne,

    Where does the Bible call the earth a sphere? Thank you.

    Richard Isaiah 40:22, job 26:10 the Hebrew word compassed meaning circle,
  • Richard in Christ - In Reply on John 3:36 - 3 years ago
    Thank you for your reply Dianne. I was thinking that was the verse you were pertaining to. As Isaiah 40:22 and Job 26:10 use the same Hebrew word spoken "chuwg". Interesting it has two different Strongs numbers although the same exact word. Meaning to encircle or circle.

    As I really don't want to get into this much as I know my brothers and sisters on here may not agree with me and I do not wish to raise quarrel. Although I will just state this. In Isaiah 22:18 he states "ball". The Hebrew word pronounced "duwr". Meaning ball/circle. Which I would think would pertain more to a sphere shape than "chuwg". Isaiah knew the difference between a circle and a ball and so did the writers of the KJV Bible.

    Again, as I could go on I will not because the shape of the earth is not the important thing. Jesus Christ our Lord is. Even though it may help people turn toward God I do not want to make division here between my brothers and sisters in Christ.

    God Bless.

    A circle is not a sphere. So many problems in translation, including fearing God. Fear was translated incorrectly and where has that taken us.

    Mike, at times I wonder if the whole story is made up to keep everyone morally accountable. I wonder if the Bible was a book that man, on purpose, or by accident fulfills. I know the Trans-Atlantic slave traders justified their deeds through the Bible. I wonder if Rome conspired to fashion God's word to scare you straight. For all I know, when I die, Ill go back into the universe from whence I came from. That's paradise.

    It is easier to fool someone that convince them they've been fooled.
