I know I’m ganna get blasted about this :o) but…

I know I’m entering this thread in the middle, because I lost interest
in it days ago.  There is no Biblical backing for interracial
relationships and so its not really
a subject that  is worthy of  much time in discussion as to the
spiritual implications. 

 There are none.  Social implications undeniably yes:  Folks (on both
sides don’t like it.  The fact that Its none of there business does not
seem to bother them.

  I have seen lots of interracial relationship’s, ( I live in
California)  Some worked, others did not,  as is the case with any
relationship.   Unfortunately socially they were not accepted by either
race.  (especially Black And White)  not fair? I agree.  But truth
anyway.  Still its no ones business but the couple in question… still
there is another consideration for Christians. That is the purpose of
this post. 

Sis. Corey:
> I was talking about the fact that no one has to approve
anyone I date except me.  It doesn't have to be okay with
my family or anyone else.  As long as he and I are equally
yoked, he likes me and I like him, it's cool. We can do a
little something, something. 

Hmmmm  Sis. I must take issue with your statement and the implied
attitude,
There is one who you should get input from…  Your Pastor.

He has been put over you to oversee your life,  Our personal
Relationships are a big part of our lives,  depending on (WHO) we marry
our lives will turn out differently.   Even if a person is in the church
full of the Holy Ghost and living the life he may not be the one for
you.  Many times if young people would trust there pastors input a lot
of hart ache could be avoided .  Remember it is he who must give account
to god for you.

He does need to approve who you date.

I have been in church for nearly 30 years,  I have learned that.
