Re: Can white and black people marry? -

God makes it clear that no one race of people is superior to another. On the contrary, He makes a point of telling Israel, the nation He chose to work with in the Old Testament, that “the stranger who dwells among you shall be to you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God” (Leviticus 19:34 ).
We are all, if believers in Jesus, one in Christ (Gal. 3:28).We see from the rest of the New Testament that justification by faith does not eradicate our gender, our vocation, or our ethnicity, but it does relativize all these things. Our first and most important identity is not male or female, American or Russian, black or white, Spanish speaker or French speaker, rich or poor, influential or obscure, but Christian. We are more alike than we are different.
John chapter 15 verses 13-14
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.
You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
