Biblical Reasons for Racial Separation

[Stotan]

Now I know being in Creativity no one gives the Bible much credibility, BUT, you may have some friends and relatives that do. Racial separation was preached in much of Christianity almost one hundred years ago and before. For those Bible believing friends and relativities who are not up on racial realities you may want to send the following along. I posted the article from my blog below. If you just want to send them the link to the article it is at the bottom of this page.
30 Biblical Reasons for Segregation of Races

by Finis Dake

Acts 17:26

And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; (KJV)

• God wills all races to be as He made them. Any violation of God's original purpose manifests insubordination to Him(Acts 17:26; Romans 9:19-24)
• God made everything to reproduce "After his own kind" (Genesis 1:11-12, 21-25; 6:20; 7:14). Kind means type and color or He would have kept them all alike to begin with.
• God originally determined the bounds of the habitations of nations(Acts 17:26; Genesis 10:5, 32; 11:8; Deuteronomy 32:8)
• Miscegenation means the mixture of races, especially the black and white races, or those of outstanding type or color. The Bible even goes farther than opposing this. It is against different branches of the same stock intermarrying such as Jews marrying other descendants of Abraham(Ezra 9-10; Nehemiah 9-13; Jeremiah 50:37; Ezekiel 30:5).
• Abraham forbad Eliezer to take a wife for Isaac of Canaanites (Genesis 24:1-4). God was so pleased with this that He directed whom to get (Genesis 24:7, 12-27).
• Isaac forbad Jacob to take a wife of the Canaanites (Genesis 27:46-28:7).
• Abraham sent all his sons of the concubines, and even of his second wife, far away from Isaac so their descendants would not mix (Genesis 25:1-6)
• Esau disobeying this law brought the final break between him and his father after lifelong companionship with him(Genesis 25:28; 26:34-35, 27:46; 28:8-9).
• The two branches of Isaac remained segregated forever (Genesis 30; 46:8-26).
• Ishmael and Isaac's descendants remained segregated forever (Genesis 25:12-23; 1 Chronicles 1:29)
• Jacob's sons destroyed a whole city to maintain segregation (Genesis 34)
• God forbad intermarriage between Israel and all other nations (Exodus 34:12-16; Deuteronomy 7:5-6)
• Joshua forbad the same thing on sentence of death (Joshua 22:12-13)
• God cursed angels for leaving their own "first estate" and "their own habitation" to marry the daughters of men (Genesis 6:1-4; 2 Peter 2:4; Jude 6-7)
• Miscegenation caused Israel to be cursed (Judges 3:6-7; Numbers 25:1-8)
• This was Solomon's sin (I Kings 11)
• This was the sin of Jews returning from Babylon (Ezra 9:1-10:2,10-18,44; 13:1-30)
• God commanded Israel to be segregated (Leviticus 20:24; Numbers 23:9; 1 Kings 8:53)
• Jews recognized as a separate people in all ages because of Gods choice and command (Matthew 10:6; John 1:11). Equal rights in the gospel gives no right to break this eternal law.
• Segregation between Jews and all other nations to remain in all eternity (Isaiah 2:2-4; Ezekiel 37; 47:13-48,55; Zechariah 14:16-21; Matthew 19:28; Luke 1:32-33; Revelation 7:1-8; 14:1-5)
• All nations will remain segregated from one another in their own parts of the earth forever (Acts 17:26; Genesis 10:5,32; 11:8-9; Deuteronomy 32:8; Daniel 7:13-14; Zechariah 14; Revelation 11:15; 21:24)
• Certain people in Israel were not even to worship with others (Deuteronomy 23:1-5; Ezra 10:8; Nehemiah 9:2 10:28; 13:3)
• Even in heaven certain groups will not be allowed to worship together (Revelation 7:7-17; 14:1-5; 15:2-5)
• Segregation was so strong in the O.T. that an ox and an ass could not work together (Deuteronomy 22:10).
• Miscegenation caused disunity among God's people (Numbers 12).
• Stock was forbidden to be bred with other kinds (Leviticus 19:19).
• Sowing mixed seed in the same field was unlawful (Leviticus 19:19)
• Different seeds were forbidden to be planted in vineyards (Deuteronomy 22:9)
• Wearing garments of mixed fabrics forbidden (Deuteronomy 22:11; Leviticus 19:19)
• Christians and certain other people of a like race are to be segregated (Matthew 18:15-17; 1 Corinthians 5:9-13; 6:15; 2 Corinthians 6:14-15; Ephesians 5:11; 2 Thessalonians 3:6-16; 1 Timothy 6:5; 2 Timothy 3:5).
