I am reduced to quoting myself in a plea for an answer. Please answer the quoted text.Danhalen said:What kind of information do you need? Just tell me how you define race. That's all I want. What makes me white, and Lebron James black? If you aren't merely using physical cues, such as skin tone, what are you using? How do you demarcate race?
The Seeker said:Is ginger a race then?
Kasey said:Its not that I am ignoring those links that you gave me, Gaijin. They simply do not take into context the key passages that I showed you from Ezra, which nails it perfectly
http://www.clarifyingchristianity.com/interracial.shtml
That link doesnt address the passages in Ezra, or the Hebrew. They go according to the English translation which is not the inspired text of the Bible.

This link doesnt prove anything either, for they do not even count the passages in Ezra in context as well. Even more so, they dont even address Adam and Eve, in whether case of how they might believe that they were the first humans or not.
There is no contradiction in my thought process. Those websites dont take into account all the evidence, from the statutes and laws of God to the testimony of Ezra as stated that they should be doing according to Isaiah 8:20.

1) A blond-haired blue-eyed Christian Protestant, who was 1/4 Native American, or,
2) An olive-skinned, somewhat hairy Protestant Christian of possibly Mediterranean or Italian descent?
arunma said:Yeah...I'm rather new to this thread, but someone get me up to speed. Is the vile idea being advocated here that God doesn't will interracial marriage? I hope not, because such an idea is blasphemy. Anyone who misuses the Christian religion for racist purposes is holding a sure ticket to hell, so I hope that no one here is advocating racist doctrine.
What makes these "token representatives" representative? If race is not about nationality, what is it about? How someone looks? Lightness of skin? Shape of nose? Texture of hair?Kasey said:Examples of white people would be Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman. Examples of Black people would be Oprah Winfrey, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Tucker. Examples of Oriental people would Jackiey Chan and Jet Li.
Of course, there would be variations, but these could be considered token representatives of the different races. Allbeit that there are variations within those same classifications.
Bear in mind that when I say "race", I am not talking about political nationality. You could have a white man from scottland and a Black man from England and they still be seperate races in the aspect of being "Black" and "white" even those those two countries are generally perceived to be "white".
Evee said:I think in time there will be no specific races.
Evee said:I just skimmed over a few posts in this thread.
To be honest what I read makes little sense.
What is the thread creator saying ...If you are white don't marry white or you will have kids even whiter?
I think in time there will be no specific races.

THE OP WAS NOT SERIOUS. HE WAS TRYING TO POINT OUT THE HYPOCRISY AND ABSURDITY ON THIS BOARD!
Sorry to yell
Evee said:Oh ok That is what I get for not reading the whole thread.
I take it you are saying I am dense. LOL

Also, do you consider Latin Americans to be white? Or people from Spain? Would you let your child marry a brown-haired, brown-eyed Christian Protestant person from Spain?
How do you really determine someone's exact racial heritage to insure that your children racial purity will not be defiled? Wouldn't you have to test?
Yeah, but the OP's example led to another discussion. And I think if Kasey's view is genuine, than it's worth exploring. I've never had a chance to pick the brain of someone who really believes this stuff before ...Evee said:Oh ok That is what I get for not reading the whole thread.
