@Willem Petzer what do you think of this, Peter Hammond is apparently a kinist: https://www.reddit.com/r/Reformed/comments/89pi4a/kinism_as_heresy/

what is kinism?

The belief that Christians should only marry within their own tribal, ethnic group

Ditsem! @Malcolm the Seceder, you just advanced to level 6!

you guys up for a debate on this?

thanks for the elaboration @Malcolm the Seceder

Um, I think it's best to stick to one's own group but I wouldn't make a rule about it.

fair stance

I think group is more cultural than racial, and those thoughts are pretty default

What does the bible say about it?

Depends who you ask.

I think they use the commands to the Jews not to intermingle as their basis

as I said, it seems like a fair default position. but I always think that the reactionary racial thing is _also_ driven by neomarxists hell bent on dividing the enemy(christians).

ie let's break off some of the opposition into nazism (racial socialism)

Yeah. If someone of an ethnic minority is a true Christian I'm less concerned about intermarriage. But I wouldn't encourage it

well, you would if the person was charming and intelligent and hard working and rich and courting your daughter, surely (and a Christian)

and legit (ie has family and they are normal)

I mean generally

not a con man

I think in general encouraging anything for or against in the field of marriage for people unrelated to us is impinging on free will

Well I doing believe in free will per se

don't?

Nope. But as for marriage I would probably raise my children to value continuing their own people. But as I said an exception here or there doesn't concern me too much
