Race is a construct, and we are all descended through Adam and Eve. This site tries to get around this by denying that race is a construct and claiming it is a real thing, but it seems to be little more than a language game. I don't see a support for kinism in scripture.

>>962

<And he made from one man every nation (ethnos) of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place,

>>965

>of one

>>969

God made every nation.

The nations exist, because God made them.

Nation and race are interchangeable in this usage.

You claimed race is not a "real thing", but here we find it affirmed by God

I might be wrong about race being a construct. If so, I hope I will not lead anyone astray. That being said, I do not see how that verse, or any of scripture, is intended to suggest interrace is sinful.

Tobit 4:12

I don't care if you're a prot.

Racemixing is never endorsed by the bible, however some passages would imply that it's not ok.

So let me approach it from another angle:

What is love?

To love someone is to want what is good for them.

Let's imagine you have a daughter and you love them. Will you want her to be happy, her marriage strong and lasting, and her children to be succesful and healthy? Then don't tell her it's okay to indulge in behaviour that puts all the above at risk.

If God ordained the bounds of the races habitations, it's against God's design to transgress those boundaries.

>>975

apocryphal

>>978

>apocryphal

I don't care.

Also,

>If God ordained the bounds of the races habitations, it's against God's design to transgress those boundaries.

>>979

If tobit is apocryphal, that means it's not scripture so not authoritative. It's still a valuable historical resource though.

Did you mean to add comment to the greentext?

>Did you mean to add comment to the greentext?

No.

There are plenty of scripture supporting that we should stay with out own kind (even the fact that the concept of "kind" exists implies that you should stick with them)

>>981

So you're affirming what I said? Green texting implies that you're finding an issue

>>984

>So you're affirming what I said?

Yes I am.

>Green texting implies that you're finding an issue

I use greentext to quote something.

>If tobit is apocryphal, that means it's not scripture so not authoritative

Something can be authoritative without being scripture, just not divinely so.
