@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?
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
I am not cool with multiculturism, i dont see the point of marrying different cultures... Not bothered by race though, I think naturally we go for what is familiar to us, however for some, the relate on different grounds. I think it is important to observe same values and ideas more importantly than appearances.
I think I don't believe in free will is an interesting topic for theology, I think a people is cultural, not racial African Americans aren't African I don't see any soapstone or giraffe carving happening in Chicago

I would say no to marrying outwith the faith.
But if you breed out the genes that create the impulses that form behaviour which in tern forms the inteplay of behaviour between people which in turn form norms and habits and traditions...then you destroy the very genetic soil out of which a culture grows.
I'd say no marrying outside of your race. I can always convince a kinsman about my faith, but I can never make him/her white again.
I think culture shapes us biologically, not the other way around... What you imply is a source, I observe as a result
This is not a chicken or egg argument. Culture is the collective outward behavioural expression of a population group.
If what you are saying is true, why do non-whites consistently form the bulk of prison populations even when raised or assimilated in other cultures?
