Christians, how would you react if your adult child was secretly married outside their race?

If not trying to stereotype or categorize, why limit it to a certain group of people?

I would be sad that my child had not included me in the wedding. I would be sad that my child felt that there were unimportant things that needed to be hidden from me.

There are a great many people (and groups) calling themselves Christians that make rules which have no scriptural basis at all. The church in Kentucky and the cult in Westboro are but two examples. Attempting to judge all Christians by the misguided views of extremists is the very stereotyping you say you wish to avoid.

This shouldn't matter whether someone is Christian or not...but especially Christians should not act this way in this type of situation. We are to love and accept everyone and judge no one. It is not what is on the outside that matters. We are ALL human and we are ALL Gods children. Jesus does not look and judge by color, so we shouldn't be either. We are to be as much like Jesus as we can be. It amazes me at how many people call themselves Christians, and then choose to think this way and judge others. This is not what God teaches us, and it is not what He wants of His children. These people that think this way..may not know the true God, and Savior Jesus Christ. God bless you!!

I assume my kids will marry into the human race.

If you're talking ethnicity, they're already filipino/german/irish/italian/cherokee/ and other stuff we don't even know. It's getting kind of hard to marry outside their ethnicities, we'll probably have collected all the skin colors in just a couple generations.

Well, first off, everyone is one race, the human race. If you mean someone of a different color, or ethnicity, or religion, I would say it depends if the person is a good person or not. Color doesn't matter so much, religion differences are harder to reconcile. To be a good person and married to a person who holds the same values as you is the best thing.. to be happy and decent members of society.

The New England Journal of Medicine 'race' is biologically meaningless,'

Well personally, I plan on marrying a black woman to receive my beautiful 10 year old bi-racial son with green eyes. However, he is expected to marry another Bi-racial girl with green eyes. I would disown him if he were to marry a white or black person. Revolution.

My only concern would be their spiritual standing with Christ. The Bible says not to be unequally yoked. In other words find someone that has the same spiritual values as you, not the color of your skin.

I would be hurt that she got married without telling me, but I wouldn't care what race he was.

If they're racist than i'm sure they would. i think its completely fine to marry any race, as long as its right in Gods eyes. He made all of us and i'm sure He doesn't mind what color we marry.

My Christian parents are cool with it. Of course it wasn't really a secret.
