Ephesians 2:11-16 Therefore remember that formerly you who are Gentiles in the flesh and called uncircumcised by the so-called circumcision (that done in the body by human hands)— remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He extinguished their hostility.
Romans 3:29 Is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too.
Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
1 Corinthians 7:19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commandments is what matters.
1 Corinthians 12:13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free, and we were all given one Spirit to drink.
Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 5:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. All that matters is faith, expressed through love.
Galatians 6:15 For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything. What counts is a new creation.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.
Colossians 2:20 If you have died with Christ to the spiritual forces of the world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its regulations:
Colossians 3:10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.
Colossians 3:11 Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, or free, but Christ is all and is in all.
Colossians 3:15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, for to this you were called as members of one body. And be thankful.
Let’s be clear and never doubt: YHWH is in complete control of this world. There are many reasons why YHWH wants the number of interracial/multi-ethnic couples and multiracial/multi-ethnic children to increase. Make no mistake; He still loves variety and diversity, but it is not the end-all or be-all of his ultimate plan. Throughout Scripture, this has happened, and the results are mixed. The negatives always happened due to people not seeking Yah on the matter. Some of the positives ended up in Yahshua’s bloodline.
Yes, there were reasons why races and ethnic groups were formed. I contend they have already served their purpose throughout the world, and some still will. YHWH is not a stagnant God; He moves forward, and it is up to us to stay caught up by continuing to seek His will and follow it. The Bible is a story of progression. Therefore, we also must progress in our story, our walk with Him, and what He will have us believe.
To believers who think multiracial/multi-ethnic children should not exist: you do not know the Creator as well as you think you do. Please, seek the Father’s opinion before shooting yours into the Body, causing confusion.
May Yah get the glory in everything. Amen.
Our white American preacher recently did a series on race. I think you’ll find that his opening sermon resonates with your post. I had no idea that the percentage of variance among the different races is that low. Here’s a link to the sermon. It can be advanced past the introduction to about minute 10:00. Blessings!
