Relationships between the rational and irrational have never been specifically prohibited in the Bible, although if one wanted to stretch the point a bit I'm sure "Be not unequally yoked" 2 Cor. 6:14 could apply if one were to stop reading before the preposition :)

The bible says NOTHING about differences in races. That's because it doesn't matter!
The bible is a book on THEOLOGY! Hence, what God detests is syncretism! That is, the mixing of different RELIGIONS! I assume you cannot read Greek for if you did/could, you would see clearly that the bible talks about "ethne" or ethnicities.
We are ALL supposed to get along under the guidance of God's moral ABSOLUTISM. (one moral compass)
And that morality is about loving, supporting, nurturing and caring for one another. If a person's theology or religion goes against this morality, then that person is believing in a false god. And it doesn't matter what color their skin is!

No, interracial marriage is not ruled out by the Bible. The prohibition against the Israelites marrying foreigners was to keep them from adopting pagan religions, not to prevent race mixing.
Oh, and here's a little something you should listen to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luKmSLXukaw&NR=1

No, we are free to involve ourselves with whomever we want. It's the HUMAN race. What "practice" are you referring to? Two people falling in love and getting married? That's normal and natural.
God created all humans equally. He is NO RESPECTER of persons, and in HIM.. there is no Greek or Jew. He doesn't see "race."
I'll suggest that if you have a personal problem with folks marrying outside of their nationality... and are a "Christian:".... Heaven for you will be REAL CROWDED.... because people from all walks of life, and all races and creeds who have accepted the Lord as Savior will be there.
Regarding Mose's wife:
"And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for he had married an Ethiopian woman" (Num. 12.1)
You best get over it! The devil's got a part of your brain... you need to shake that off.

There is only ONE race and we are called The Human Race. All human beings can reproduce with any other human being of the opposite sex (unless they are infertile).
Likewise dogs can reproduce with dogs, elephants with elephants, cockroaches with cockroaches etc.
There are marriages of people of different races mentioned in the bible.

The separation of tribes was based on the idolatry and sin of their ways and not the color of their skin.

Interracial couples were fashionable during the time of the Nefilim or bneilim. These were the sons of the deities worshiped then.

Interrational relationships. eh? Is that when you have irrational intercourse? Happens to me all the time.

No there is nothing in the bible against interracial marriages...since there is just one race...the human race

Love is no respecter of races.
You just sound mean.
