my family is interracial, my brother is married to a filipino woman, my older brother gf is italian & my son is mexican. me personally i think its beautiful! for me to be african american i love & accept all walks of life & will never judge anyone based on color! skin color doesnt matter to me its who you are.
I have no problem whatsoever with interracial couples. The important thing is their relationship with Christ and how they treat you. All else matters little or not at all, though I know that one can expect issues from people that do care, so you must be strong enough to leave them to their ignorance and move on. If you are both seeking Christ, putting Him first in all things, even ahead of each other, that is the most important thing.

I can only see one potential problem with interracial dating. That is the potential of disobeying a scriptural instruction.
2Corinthians
(6:14) Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
(6:15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
(6:16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
We are clearly told to not enter into a relationship with those who are not believers. So here is the potential problem. Not because of their race, but because of what that racial back ground may have taught them to believe.
I find it interesting that I can not bring to mind a case in the Bible where, the reason the examples being told their relationship was wrong, that race was the issue. It was not that they were racially different, they were spiritually different.
The example of the ox and the ass being yoked together is the reason behind the belief that interracial relationships are wrong. We need to keep in mind that image this creates for us is almost extreme in its illustration. Yet if we look closely it is not the physical differences in this combination that are explained. It is the behavioral differences.
Different races believe different. This is simply due to different geographical origins. Those origins separated by distance will develope different beliefs. It is those beliefs that can be the danger in any relationship.
Our oldest daughter is very attracted to the males of another race. We often have conversations due to this attraction. In her case though it has yet to develope beyond the friendship stage. This is due to the fact that as she says " they just don't believe the way I do". She recognizes the danger. Not because of the color of their skin. But the condition of their heart.

I think it is fine...My dad sees it as just the fact that different races think differently and might clash on things, but I have a half black/half white friend who just yesterday started to go out with a half white/half Mexican! I think it is sweet when a couple is willing to take whatever might come their way just to be together!!! I personally find middle eastern men VERY attractive...my dad cannot stand that!!!! He does not have a problem with other races, but feels that people should stay with their own!!! Personally I think the children from a mixed race family are so beautigul, I new this girl once that was half black and half white and she was so beautiful, and he sister who was half white and half mexican looked mexican but with beautiful blue eyes!!!! I think it is beautiful!!!

most black families are like that wont accept anyone other than their however i am so blessed mine is very accepting i believe interracial dating is beautiful, only thing different is our skin colors. you just be happy with whatever race you desire, its Gods call. if he want you to be with a blue person by all means thats Gods plan for you

i mean if christ loves all colors of skin and being christians mean being christ like we shoudlnt judge people on how they are or what color their skin is, i see it as if you ahve a prob with them down here on eearth how are u going to live with them in heaven ik there arent any skin colors in haeven but its the person you have to look past al the colors of the skin and actually look at the heart of a person to truly know how they are.

I don't know why people even notice skin color still. It makes me sad that it can't just be "we're a couple." why are we an "interracial" couple? love is love, forget anything about skin color, or what anyone else says. This is 2012. Other than your culture, food, etc, race should be irrelevant.
Just my humble opinion.

biblically the only concern is that we are yoked with otther believers, reality though tells us marriage is difficult, even in Christianity the rates for divorce are dropping to the same as the unbeliever, I believe some interace unions pose greater difficulties than others. just as hatfields marrying Mcoys is just asking for trouble
