Does being an Ex-Negro entitle me to marry White Christian women?

Re: Does being an Ex-Negro entitle me to marry White Christian women?

I am well aware of the verses regarding race mixing (i.e Deuteronemy 7:3-4) and how Jesus feels about such. I thought I’d ask what that means for an Ex-Negro who is saved if one were to marry a wonderful White True Christian ™️ woman?

You are asking a different question here ("marry a wonderful White True Christian ™️ woman") and a different question in the title of your thread (about marrying "White Christian women").

To answer your question posed in the thread, as a True Christian™ Ex-Negro you are entitled to marry any True Christian(tm) lady your heart desires.

To answer your question posed in the title of the thread, I guess you can marry as many as you wish? Legally you can marry only one at a time in the US, but there are ways around it, just ask the Mormons:

The raid on the polygamist compound in Eldorado, Texas has not only focused public attention on such sects, it's sparked many questions about them.
One such query: Who pays their bills?
A significant part of the answer, according to Early Show national correspondent Hattie Kauffman is -- taxpayers, in the form of welfare.
Kauffman and Laurie Allen, who escaped from polygamy, drove around one such community, in Colorado City, Ariz., and saw many mammoth homes built to accommodate multiple wives and children.
How the man of the house can afford to build such super-sized dwellings! The answer: He can't. He doesn't pay for them, you do.
As Allen explained to Kauffman, "What happens is a man marries one wife, she's his legal wife, then he marries ten other wives in the church, and all the other wives are, by law, single women, so they have all these children with him, and they all get welfare."
The more kids, the bigger the welfare check, Kauffman points out.

Re: Does being an Ex-Negro entitle me to marry White Christian women?

Perhaps I could go back to using my old bleach and sulfur ointment to try to reverse the dark skin I am cursed with, but on the other hand I have to resist because I remember Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. I think I need some time to pray to find the answers. You’ve all guided me well and I am not entirely sure if me marrying a white Christian woman is right in the eyes of God, even if my intended purpose were to pump out a lot of soldiers of Christ inside of her for her to raise the right way. On the other hand, I fear that if I were to raise said soldiers with a Nigra, that they would lose their way much like my nephews have.

As you ponder this issue, Brother Rutherford, I would just remind you God knows there are complex problems in life. That's why he created money and rich people with lots of it. If you decide a white woman is for you, be certain there is money to hand to those who make decisions about your eternity. For all of his bombastic sermons about sin, Pastor Zeke is a reasonable man to work with.

Song of Solomon 5:10 My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.

I find this confusing. At first we have the description of someone white and ruddy, suggesting a person like those depicted at left. "Ruddy" is a word often used to describe complexion and both gentlemen fit the bill, though the top one might need some provocation to ruffle his equanimity. I'm sure I could think of something. But then we get to verse eleven.

Song of Solomon 5:11 His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.

Later on we're informed that his belly is like ivory and with raven-black hair to boot, I think the top example at right would probably have that but does not look altogether trustworthy. I couldn't see anyone calling him their belovèd & the fairest of ten thousand. First impressions however are not always reliable. The other one with the fuller beard does have a head like gold as well as bushy locks and dark hair but neither of them could really be called ruddy.

THE RESURRECTION BODY

The Song of Solomon is often seen as a description of Christ's love for His bride, namely, all those He died to save and who reciprocate by loving Him back. It's a free choice of course, Jesus would never force anyone to love Him, indeed He's gone out of His way to explain that anyone rejecting His love will be tormented. He mentions wailing and gnashing of teeth together with a molten flaming lake belching monstrous cloying fumes. And Jesus would not dye His hair because He is humble and humble people are not vain and only vain people dye their hair.

So we can be pretty sure that The Belovèd doesn't have hair dyed in streaks, red and black, and isn't wearing clown makeup, red and white. Could the contrast be comparing Christ's (and therefore our own) bodies before and after resurrection?

I John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

Barry White had a few daughters, so that may be your best chance to marry a White woman.

Perhaps our brother could find a lighter-skinned black woman to his liking? Also, there are some Messican girls who have rejected the Cathlick nonsense and now follow the Biblical True Christian™ way.

Some of the Hindoo women are not as dark as others and have also chosen to follow Christ.

These girls are not as attractive as actual white women, of course, but it might not be so bad.

The nearest I can offer you is

Now you will note that the references are to a back female and a white man. I think we can all naturally accept the desires of a healthy white male who may not wish to become too attached, but the question of an exteriorly black man and a white woman may take some explaining.

Good advice, Pastor Bathfire--Some may remember the famous court case, Loving vs Virginia. Mr. Loving was white, Mrs. was black. This marriage was approved by the Supreme Court.

But, does that mean marriage between a black man and white woman is also legal. I'm not a lawyer but I have my doubts. Brother Rutherford needs to check this out.

Song:1:5: I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
Song:1:6: Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
Song:5:10: My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
Song:5:11: His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.

Your solution lies in the status of a widow: they are above other women in their autonomy and in many circumstances do not require the permission of a man in order to do the responsible thing.

And many widows are eager to marry but will require retraining:
1Tm:5:11: But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;

As a benefit, marriage prevents them from becoming a burden on Church finances.

Re: Does being an Ex-Negro entitle me to marry White Christian women?

I am well aware of the verses regarding race mixing (i.e Deuteronemy 7:3-4) and how Jesus feels about such. I thought I’d ask what that means for an Ex-Negro who is saved if one were to marry a wonderful White True Christian ™️ woman? I’ll admit I am not sure if I would have the time to give attention to one as I have a full weekly schedule of cleaning M̶a̶s̶t̶e̶r̶ Pastor Ezekiel’s septic tank and clogged pipes, but I figured I would ask anyway just for curiosity’s sake.

As a True Christian™ you are entitled to some leeway on such a profound question. There is at least one practical issue I need to mention. It is the question of where you will find such a wife?

I'm guessing here, but I think you will find the fathers of white daughters here at Landover Baptist will not give approval. The fathers are not, of course, prejudiced. It is just the Bible verses you refer to that give them pause.

My advice is to keep working for Pastor Zeke and see if you might move in to a highly paid position. This would make you more attractive to white women. In addition, I've known of rules set aside when someone is blessed by God with prosperity.

All the best.
