“When an alien resides with you in your land, you must not oppress  him. You will regard the alien who resides with you as the native-born among you. You are to love him as yourself,  for you were aliens in the land of Egypt;  I am the Lord your God.” Leviticus 19:33-34 CSB

@jenniferwilkin I do agree. But don’t you think this post neglects a biblical theology of the corporate service and the preaching act as a means of grace? The sermon is not a lecture but a corporate means by which God grows his people in grace

The only way you could get me to believe in premillennial dispensationalism now is if a world leader miraculously survived a head wound and then went on to found a global peace board around his cult of personally and also showed a sort of singular focus on Israel and the Middle East situation.

Who is a consistent Christian?

Christians care about all suffering, especially eternal suffering. And Christians care about all injustice, especially injustice against God.

👏👏👏 anyone you marry will have a different culture just by the fact that they were raised in a different family, even if they grew up next door to you. The fact that some of these theobros want to make it about skin color is just bonkers

If you married someone and had no cultural challenges because of different backgrounds to work through, then congratulations, you have married your sister

[Anthony Bradley @drantbradley]

This man threw his wife under the bus in order to maintain his in-group status as “one of the guys” in a pseudo-Christian subculture, that many would argue is actually a cult. Yes, his own wife. Tribalism blinds.

This is truly awful. I feel for his wife.

Interracial Marriage.

As a Christian man happily married to a Mexican/Spanish/American woman, I actually agree with @JoelWebbon

Interracial marriage is not the “ideal.”

Now, like Joel, I do not believe it is sinful, and if providence positions two Christians from different ethnic backgrounds to unite in marriage, it can be a glorious thing (which it has been for us).

However, interracial marriage does create a variety of additional hurdles in marriage and family life, from overcoming different family expectations and cultural traditions to a wife’s assimilation into her husband’s culture. In addition, the husband must learn how his wife’s ethnos has shaped her instincts, sensitivities, and assumptions.

There are also external factors from extended family that can feel awkward or frustrating. Identity politics still prevail in a fallen world and cause conflict along the way.

To some degree, all of this can extend to children and their lives, spouses, etc.

Now, by God’s grace, He gives those believers called to these unique marriages the endurance to overcome these hurdles, but unity has undoubtedly been more difficult for us than for couples who share the same ethnic background.

So, while we live in a multicultural mess that has assumed that the melting pot mentality is just as desirable as sharing ethnic similarities and culture, it’s not. It’s possible with Christ but it comes with its own unique hardships.
