The Bible Condemns Racemixing

The Bible Condemns Miscegenation

God wills all races, and all various ethnicities within those races, to be as He made them. Firstly, every creature created by God, including man, is commanded to reproduce after its own kind. 

Genesis 1:11-12-"And He said: Let the earth bring forth the green herb, and such as may seed, and the fruit tree yeilding fruit after its kind, which may have seed in itself upon the earth. And it was so done. And the earth brought forth the green herb, and such as yieldeth seed according to its kind, and the tree that beareth fruit, having seed according to its kind. And God saw that it was good."

Genesis 6:20-"Of fowls according to their kind, and of beasts in their kind, and of everything that creepeth on the earth according to its kind; two of every sort shall go in with thee, that they may live."

Genesis 7:14-"They and every beast according to its kind, and all the cattle in their kind, and every thing that moveth upon the earth according to its kind, and every fowl according to its kind, all birds, and all that fly,"

God originally determind the bounds, borders, and dwelling places of the habitations of nations, so they would be saved.

Acts 17:26-"And hath made of one, all mankind, to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, determining appointed times, and the limits of their habitation."

Genesis 10:5-32-"By these were divided the islands of the Gentiles in their lands, every one according to his tongue and their families in their nations... And Chanaan begot Sidon, his firstborn, the Hethite, And the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite, The Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite, And the Aradian, the Samarite, and the Hamathite: and afterwards the families of the Chanaanites were spread abroad. And the limits of Chanaan were from Sidon as one comes to Gerara even to Gaza, until thou enter Sodom and Gomorrha, and Adama, and Seboim even to Lesa. These are the children of Cham in their kindreds, and tongues, and generations, and lands, and nations... And their dwelling was from Messa as we go on as far as Sephar, a mountain in the east. These are the children of Sem according to their kindreds and tongues, and countries in their nations. These are the families of Noe, according to their peoples and nations. By these were the nations divided on the earth after the flood.

Genesis 11:8-"And so the Lord scattered them from that place into all lands,"

Deuteronomy 32:8-"When the Most High divided the nations: when he separated the sons of Adam, he appointed the bounds of people according to the number of the children of Israel."

Direct Proof against Racemixing

Abraham forbade Eliezer to take a wife for Isaac of Canaanites (Gen. 24:1-4). God was so pleased with this that He directed whom to get (Gen. 24:7, 12-67). Isaac forbade Jacob to take a wife of the Canaanites (Gen. 27:46-28:7). Abraham sent all his sons of the concubines, and even of his second wife, far away from Isaac so their descendants would not mix (Gen. 25:1-6). Esau, the predecessor of the apostate jews, disobeying this law brought the final break between him and his father after lifelong companionship with him ( Gen 25:28, 26:34-35, 27:46, 28:8-9). The two branches of Isaac remained segregated forever (Gen. 36:1, Gen. 46:8-26). Ishmael and Isaac's descendants remained segregated forever (Gen. 25:12-23, 1 Chron. 1:29). 

Jacob’s sons destroyed a whole city to maintain segregation (Gen 34). God forbad intermarriage between Israel and all other nations (Ex. 34:12-16, Deut. 7:3-6). Joshua forbad the same thing on sentence of death (Josh. 23:12-13). God cursed angels for leaving their own "first estate" and "their own habitation" to marry the daughters of men (Gen 6:1-4, 2 Pet 2:4, Jude 6 and 7). Miscegenation caused Israel to be cursed (Judges 3:6-7, Num. 25:1-8). Note that Phinehas' act was righteous (Ps. 106:30).

This was Solomon's sin (1 King 11) This was the sin of Judahites returning from Babylon (Ezra 9:1-10, Ezra 2:10-18, 44, Neh. 13:1-30). God commanded Israel to be segregated (Lev. 20:24, Num. 23:9, 1 King 8:53). Israelites recognized as a separate people in all ages because of God's choice and command (Matt. 10:6, John 1:11). Equal rights in the gospel gives no one the right to break this eternal law. 

Segregation between Israelites and all other nations to remain in all eternity ( Is 2:2-4,Ezek 37, 47:13-48, Zech 14:16-21, Matt 19:28, Luke 1:32-33, Rev 7:1-8, 14:1-5) All nations will remain segregated from one another in their own parts of the earth forever ( Acts 17:26, Gen 10:5, 32, 11:8-9, Deut. 32:8, Dan 7:13-14, Rev 11:15, 21:24). Certain people in Israel were not even to worship with others ( Deut. 23:1-3, Ezra 10:8, Nehemiah 9:2, 10:28, 13:3). Even in heaven certain groups will not be allowed to worship together (Rev. 7:7-17,14:1-5, 15:2-5). 

Segregation in the O.T. was so strong that an ox and an ass could not be worked together (Deut. 22:10). Miscegenation caused disunity among God's people (Num 12). Stock was forbidden to be bred with other kinds (Lev 19:19). Sowing mixed seed in the same field was unlawful (Lev 19:19). Different seeds were forbidden to be planted in the same vineyards. (Deut. 22:9). Wearing garments of mixed fabrics forbidden (Deut. 22:11, Lev 19:19). Christians and certain other people of a like race are to be segregated based upon behavior (Matt. 18:15-17, 1 Cor. 5:9-13, 6:15, 2 Cor. 6:14-18, Eph 5:11, 2 Thess. 3:6-16, 1 Tim 6:5, 2 Tim 3:5)

Numbers 25:6-11-"One of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianites woman. And Phinehas took a javelin in his hand; and he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So, the plague was stayed from the children of Israel." Note, it was a plague of different-people marriage.

Deuteronomy 7:3-"After taking the land God has given thee: "Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shall not give unto his son, nor his daughter shall thou take unto thy son." 

Ezra 9:2, Ezra 9:12-"For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons; so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands." "Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons.”

Ezra 10:2-3-"We have taken strange wives of the people of the land, yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing. Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them." 

Genesis 24:3-4-"And I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell: But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac." 

Genesis 26:34-35-"And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri, the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite: Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah." 

Genesis 27:46-"And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?"

Genesis 28:1, Gen. 28:8-9-"And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan." "And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father; then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abrahams son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife."

Deuteronomy 23:2-"A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord." 

In Hebrew, from Strong`s Concordance, bastard means mamzer, which means mongrel. In this text it means Israelite father, non-Israelite mother (do not mistake the word Israelite with the word Jew - genetically, in 2002, they are not the same people). In Webster’s 1828 dictionary, mongrel is defined: Of a mixed breed, of different kinds.

Proverbs 23:27-33-"For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit." "At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. Thine eyes shall behold strange women and thine heart shall utter perverse things." 

Exodus 33:16-"...so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth."

Deuteronomy 17:15-"Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the Lord thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee; thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother." 

Nehemiah 13:3-"So it came about, that when they heard the Law, they excluded all foreigners from Israel."

What is the punishment for the transgression against the commandants above? A few of the many examples are listed below. One can easily see the lessons, once again un-learned, in modern America.

Joshua 23:12-13-"Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you: Know for a certainty that the Lord your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the Lord your God hath given you." 

Psalms 106:34-42-"They did not destroy the nations concerning whom the Lord commanded them: But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works ... and went a whoring with their own inventions. And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them. Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand."

Ezekiel 28:7-"I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness." 

Joel 1:4-"That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left the caterpillar eaten." These insects are all symbolic of alien people.
