A4P Guest: I’m 26 years old and I’m from Ethiopia, residing here in the US. I’m dating a white Christian man. He proposed to me two weeks ago and we’re thinking of getting married soon. But unfortunately both of my parents are against it because of his race. Is interracial marriage against the word of God?
A4P: Before I say anything, let me say this: Congratulations! You must be so excited! I’m happy for you!

“When you preach, preach the word of God so you won’t beat your own drum. The power of God is neither in our preaching nor in our method of preaching but in the power of God; and the word of God is where God has invested His supernatural power.” – R. C. Sproul, Jan 2017 Q&A session
Wow! This is radical!
No! Let me take that back. This is too biblical!
Amen!
When we beat our drums, we only give birth to good dancers, not disciples of Christ.
Notice some of the identifying characters of disciples of Jesus Christ:
“Temptations and occasions put nothing into a man, but only draw out what was already in him before.” John Owen
“It is impossible for a person to fully realize his need for God’s grace until he sees how terribly he has failed the standards of God’s law.” John MacArthur
A4P Guest: I have a quick question. So, my girlfriend is an Ethiopian girl. I love her very much and she loves me too. So, my question is this: What’s wrong with having sex before marriage? I don’t think we need to sanctify our flesh here on earth since the Bible says, “flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 15:50) and “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing,” (John 6:63). So, as long as my girlfriend and I keep our soul and spirit holy, sex should be an okay thing since it is done on the flesh. So, can you give me few more verses to go over with my girlfriend since she is struggling to accept this truth?
