Non-issue for me. We are all of one race, the human race.

Would not bother me in the least.

Not a problem at all. Skin is just a color - some darker, some lighter. Doesn't make one iota of difference.

Why would it matter? :confused:

A non-issue.

It may be because they are really competitive and don't want to be in the same race. So they pick different races to compete in. That way it's fun for both.
as far as skin race, no issue at all. And why would it be? The Bible says that a man can marry a Christian woman. We are not to marry the unsaved. Never does it say we are to stay in the same race. -

Race not an issue. But if she was a yankee.....

Preaching In Jesus expresses my thoughts exactly to the word. In fact, I have no problem with a pastor having a husband, as long as the husband is not a deacon. Co-mingling of offices is a sin.

Indifferent. -
Yikes! What a depressing conversation topic.

Gib said in jest "But if she were a Yankee"
actually any difference in a couple -that can be a potential hard situation.
I have a pastor friend here in the Salt City - he is black -his wife is white. He told me he believes his mixed marriage has been a deterrent to his ministry. BTW, his church was in the Black section of town.
I agree - it should not make a difference - but remember humans have a sinful nature. -
It wouldn't bother me at all.
