Apples of Gold - November 9

No verse in the Bible specifically forbids a person of one race to marry another. The Bible itself speaks of only one race—the human race. Acts:17:26And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
See All... tells us that God “hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.” However, God has drawn a distinction between the saved and the lost: “Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?” (2 Corinthians:6:14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
See All...). With respect to Israel, the Lord commanded Israel to make no marriages with other nations, as they were to be a special and distinct people for the purpose of God (Deuteronomy:7:3Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
See All...–4; 1 Kings:11:2Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.
See All...; etc.). But these commands were strictly for Israel.
