Christians should NOT be married/dating (yoked) to Unbelievers!
Interracial dating/marrying is however is entirely a very different mater!!!
In a corrupt & evil world system that has been developed & dominated by people of European decent "RACE DOES NOT MATTER"!!!
Most people to this very day perpetuate this "MYTH" we refer to a "RACE" not knowing that in very recent years genetic scientists have "DISPROVEN" the very existence of what we refer to as "RACE"!!! Scientifically, genetic research has proven beyond doubt that in fact in our genes "ALL" men & women regardless of our "SKIN COLOR" are more than 99.9% the same. Despite this evidence people still choose to perpetuate this lie and myth we call "race". Science has proven that in fact we are all the "SAME EXACT" race/species (homosaphians).

Race is a "SOCIAL/cultural/political" construct & ideology that was developed and pass down generationally by white Europeans and white Americans for the past 600 years. The "false idea" of race was developed and fostered as truth to validate & justify white superiority, multitudes of evil sins, slavery, rape, torture, theft, wholesale killings of peoples of color the world over!!! Often times GOD's Bible was even used to support and justify this evil called "race"!!!
In our world today, we all still struggle and wrestle with "FALSELY" called racial issues because unrepentant sinners and millions of professed "WHITE" Christians and "NON-WHITE" Christians still harbor the evil and sin in our hearts from the separations, mistrust, prejudice, racism, hurt, "PRESENT" & historical wounds and deep seeded hatreds that still abound as a result of the evils that "WE" and our forefathers committed.
Many whites (including white Christians) prefer to dismiss all the "race" problems that still abound in our world and say dismissively that its "all in the past" ..."can't we just put it all behind us???"... "that was not me...I didn't do anything to hurt people...I wasn’t even born so I have no obligation or responsibility to reflect on it or show sorry & compassion for anything that happened way back then or now unless I myself was involved in it!!!
But the word of God disagrees with that arrogant, irresponsible attitude. In fact God words teaches that as individuals and as a "nation", peoples are to repent and turn from their evil ways and the evil ways of their forefathers. Can we say we've repented and turned from our wicked ways when we as "professed" Christians still perpetuate racism and/or segregation between the races by choosing that we prefer to worship only in churches with people who have the same skin color as we do? Can we say we've repented & turned from our wicked ways when we as "professed" Christians justify & perpetuate in our churches & families the old notions that "we should not marry people whose skin color is different than ours"???
We know as Christians that because man's nature (all men & women of all "colors") are evil by nature, we know we can not expect national repenting race. But as "professed" Christians those who are to be the "SALT" of the earth who continue to demonstrate the patterns and overt or hidden carnal "racial" sins and promote racial separation of any kind (including dating & marriage) will have an impossible task in the judgment of God. Once we become saved in Jesus, by faith we "ALL BECOME 1" in Christ Jesus!!! If we are all "1" then none of us should continue to practice and believe in racial division of any kind!!! As Christians when we become "TRULY" saved according to God's word, at some point there is to come about "RENEWING of the Mind"!!! Our ways of thinking and acting are to be transformed in Christ!!! If they are not...then no "REAL" conversion in Christ through our faith has been made!!! If we as "PROFESSED" Christians still harbor and maintain the same value systems and sinful beliefs in racial separation, interracial relationships, segregation (including worship/church segregation)...wherein I ask are we any different from "UNREPENTANT" sinners???
I'm, not sure...but I'm willing to bet there is not gonna be any separate neighborhoods and separate worship services in heaven and the new world to come. If we don't repent and ask God to change our hearts and "RENEW" our minds from the belief systems that were established and perpetuated by evil men for centuries, I don't believe God will "FORGIVE" us for holding fast to the evil practices and false myths of this world that has bought about so much hurt and pain the world over between the races. Repentance and forgiveness also require action!! It requires more than mere formal words? It also require an active change in 1s thinking and action!
The "myth" of race and racial superiority" is 1 of the most hideous lies created by Satan. It's continued devastation on the minds & hearts of people (including Christians) the world over are still clearly visible to see. On a sad footnote...I believe racism is a blemish and residue that also lingers inside of many Christians of all colors! ALL Christians should be leading the charge as a BOLD SHINING example for racial unity & reconcili

These are very hard questions and I guess none of us will be able to give a perfect answer. Its not just the color, its what comes with the color, a sanguine black woman is very different from a sanguie white woman, I am talking about genes. Genes are much more powerfull than culture. You can flexibly comform to a different culture sometimes but will never be able to change your temperament. Though originally I believe culture is in great part the result of race -It may sound without sence- I personally was raised and lived for 30 years in a culture which I find very hard to embrace and be happy with, though I love and value some of their moral costoms which hardly can be found in American people unless it is in some protestant churches. Mixing races sometimes can produce a more intelligent and talented people, I do believe it but not when the race difference is too great. How then came the little "differences"? Hard to understand. Creed doesnt matter if it is into the same religion. Any protestand should be able to marry a person from other denomination but Jejova Witnesess, Catholics, Adventists, Mormons, Budists, Spiritists must marry in their own sects.

There is only one race. The human race. God made us all different for His pleasure. There are different cultures and ethnicities. but that's how God would have it. We are the way we are ON PURPOSE!
However, I do think that connecting with someone for a lifetime purpose is a matter of preference. I am a black woman and I prefer black men. That doesn't mean that there aren't any wonder Caucasian or Asian men out there who love the Lord. The problem is that I'm not attracted to them. Additionally, other than Christ, I don't have that much in common with them.
Two people loving Christ is not always enough. We are spiritual beings, but we live in the natural. I applaud those who connect inter-culturally, but it's a function of their preference and what appeals to them in the natural.
When I have children, I would rather my child marry someone of a different culture who loves Christ than to marry someone of the same culture who is an unbeliever. Christ has to be first and foremost. Everything else is all preference.

I don't belive race matters but creed in the other hand, well the scriptures said we are to be equally yoked. We need to have the same "SAME RELIGIOUS BELIEFS".

How can race matter when there is only one race the human race? The concept of race was first voiced in the 1800's to justify the slave trade and other inhuman treatment of people from the different ethnic groups.
Over the years we (that is the human race) have learnt, amongst many other things, that the world is a sphere and not flat, in this respect we have accepted that scientist are not all knowing but are very good at making assumptions and educated guesses. Yet we hold on to the biggest lie of all, that of race, inferiority and superiority; as a Christian I do not see how one can belief in race and all that goes with it.
The bible tells us that God created the world that he made Adam from the dust of the earth and from Adams' side made Eve, from these two people came the families of the nations. No where in scripture does it say that He created diverse races. Bible tells us, of God’s creation of the different animals each after its own kind but no such reference is made of humans. Gen: 1; 2
It seems to me that the only way one can believe in "the races" is to believe in the theory of evolution, or to justice ones own belief of superiority. You may think/say people from the various colour groups are different in behaviour, in likes and dislikes but those are all superficial differences. It is the state of a man’s heart (women included) that matters. Remember the story of the Good Samaritan? That wasn’t just a story of a good deed but of humanity, of caring and love for our fellow human in spite of superficial differences such as colour or nationality.
So does race and creed matter? My answer, NO. The humanist would say it is by an accident at birth that each of us is assigned a skin tone. I prefer to believe that God created each person, as the Psalmist says “for you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. …….I am fearfully and wonderfully made, your works are wonderful… In Isaiah we read He who made you, who formed you in the womb…..,” and assigned to each of us a colour which pleases Him, for His own purpose and pleasure.
Instead of focusing on race let us accept that our differences are superficial, thank the creator for his great wisdom in giving us variety and get on with what He has commanded us to do. Yehshua's command to his disciples and ultimately to us “that ye Love one another, for by this all men will know that ye are my disciples”
