@Tarnfurt In the book The Orthodox Church: 455 Questions and Answers by Father Stanley Harakas he tells modern Orthodox Christians that “God does not encourage racially mixed marriages, then I believe we are not in disagreement. I feel I made it very clear that the Church does not feel such marriages are desirable, for many different reasons, many of which are practical and have to do with the chance of success for such marriages. In addition, we should also add that the Church holds that races and nations were created by God. Consequently,the total intermarriage would destroy the races which God created. The Church has never advocated or encouraged racially mixed marriages.”
I've always said "Let Man not bring together that which God has separated"
Sorry for TLDR
"To be opposed to interracial marriage goes all the way back to Abraham who said in Genesis 24:3-4 that “I want you to swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I am living, but will go to my country and my own relatives and get a wife for my son Isaac.” Abraham wanted his son to marry within his own tribe, something that God never condemned but actually blessed with fruitful families and great gifts both materially and spiritually. While I would not argue that it is a sin per se to marry outside one’s nation, there are clear guidelines that the best form of marriage is among those of the same nation. In Israel the nation was told to get rid of the foreign wives among the nation and to marry within the nation of Israel. Ezra 10:3 states “So let’s make a promise to our God by which we divorce all of these foreign wives—as well as those born to them—in accordance with the counsel of our Lord and of those who tremble at our God’s command.”
Earlier in the book of Ezra in 9:2 we are told “They have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons, and have mingled the holy race with the peoples around them. And the leaders and officials have led the way in this unfaithfulness.” The government of Israel had a responsibility to maintain the national character of Israel, and both incest and interracial marriage was looked upon negatively by God for violating His plan for marriage and a stable society. The position of God on issues such as homosexuality, incest, bestiality and interracial marriages were all codified throughout the Old Testament."
@MatthewHeimbach Are you Greek Orthodox?
In short...without the transforming power of the gospel, (where people from all ethnic backrounds can peacefully co-exist), uniting disparate types of people is an exercise in futilty. Any attempt to the latter will simply borrow from Christian capital in order to sound legitimate. And it has to a point in America.
Def got a schlong
@rhebner exactly
@Tarnfurt Russian Orthodox, raised Catholic but converted
And the gospel is not an instrument of national policy; there is a separation of church and state.
Guys
There's more to life on Earth than church, though. Races should be separate for the preservation of their own worldly cultures
Heimbach isn't a Greek agent
Goebbels talked about this. He said that the job of the State should be to care for the needs of the people in this world, and the job of the churches is to get our peoples souls to Heaven
Its clear NS principle
He's a Russian agent that's using the Greek Agent meme as a cover up
GLENN BECK WAS RIGHT
CHAOS MAGIC
MUH DUGIN
Heimbach.........a German agent on behalf of GREECE...I get it.
good job labs you're teaching the boomer memes
Mathios Heimbakopilous
WOKE
Literally our lives...
lol
@rhebner Any other questions?
I'll offer serious answers don't worry
As I march into battle, my comrades I hail,
Tonight the white race prevails -
Death by our swords to the vile, alien hordes,
Their every resistance shall fail.
They see it, it's there in our eyes,
We know it, it's time that we rise,
Not one of their numbers shall be spared;
The racial holy war has been declared
He'll yeah borther
