A Mississippi wedding venue rejected an interracial couple, citing ‘Christian belief.’
Washington Post via MSN ^ | 9/3/19 | Allyson Chiu

When LaKambria S. Welsch drove to Boone's Camp Event hall on Saturday, she was in search of an explanation.

Welch told The Washington Post in an email that her brother and his finacee had recently been coordinating with the wedding venue in Booneville, Miss., about hosting their upcoming nuptials until they were informed that they were no longer welcome.

Why? Welch said it's because her brother is black and his bride-to-be is white.

In a now viral video shared to social media by Welch over the weekend, a woman identified as the event hall's owner can be seen telling the 24-year-old, "First of all, we don't do gay weddings or mixed race...because of our Christian race, I mean or Christian belief."

Went to the owner, then went to the press. That may mean the death of the wedding venue as well.

I noticed she didnt go to the Podunk Express but instead splashed it with Bezo’s Washington Post.

The prohibition on interracial marriage is right there in the Bible in Hezekiah 14:6

Look it up.

Are white women still dating white guys or is that old fashioned?

Every commercial on tv shows a white woman with either a black boyfriend or husband so I presume they are just mimicking the current dating and marriage scene?

White men are too busy trying to figure out different commercial products, or are being lectured to by women or minorities about what they cannot figure out themselves, or are trying to put their Right foot in their left sneaker... or so it seems.

Yup, pretty sure this was fairly common among certain groups. The only ones that I ever personally ran across were independent type Baptists. That was 20+ years ago. You would have thought this would have been hashed out years ago with these particular people by now if they have been providing wedding venues for any length of time.

two of my black daughters married white men. It is rarer but not unheard of.

are you joking. Jews as a whole are about tapped out.

There are orthodox who marry within the faith, but a big issue among Jews is the fact that there are few jews marrying jews.

That may be true, as I have known two Catholics who converted to Judiasm to be allowed to marry their Jewish husbands.

However, you don't see Jews glamorizing interracial relationships to their women, as the pop-culture media does to white women.

The video is included in the article. The owner is very, very white.

I think you're thinking of Jim Bob 11:22-25.

Not the Jewish women I've met (professionally) through the years. I always got the impression that's verboten, and same for their daughters.

Well this is the same beliefs that Bob Jones and several other colleges had for a long time, I do think that Bob Jones has changed their beliefs over time.

When the IRS yanked their tax-exempt status, yes. Not before.

The Washington Post - which reported this story - has spent the last 60 years trying to destroy Christian Conservatives, the Republican Party, and, most recently, Donald Trump.

But, you have decided that WaPo is completely credible when reporting this story?

Shameful.

Ditto. If this is true, it will run into public accommodations law in short order. Christian teaching does not recognize race, so conscience is no excuse.

The issue is that of equating race with morality. Race/ethnicity does not make one moral or immoral, but behavior does. And marrying men with men is immoral.

The problem is that SCOTUS (5 out of 9) disagreed with what the men who wrote and ratified the Constitution believed, given their overall high view of Scripture and Judaeo-Christian morality, and insanely rationalized that they would have protected this, as if they were like men who rejected that transcendent historical standard for morality .

One can argue that they would not have sanctioned interracial marriage, though that is unlikely, and that to marry such is a moral issue. And indeed it is to some. In such a case a distinction must be made btwn denying a race a service on the basis that their race is not worthy of such the same services others are, versus denying them a incorrect nature of the service.

Meaning that to deny a racial couple a marriage service would be a racist violation of public accommodations law, whereas to deny a interracial couple a marriage service can be argued to be the same as denying divorced persons the same. Or btwn a Catholic and a Protestant.

I do not agree that interracial marriage is immoral, but to not allow a business to deny an optional service easily obtained elsewhere, and which is for the express purpose of celebrating what they sincerely see as immoral, arguably based upon the historical sense of morality of the Founders and its main source, means that no one will be able to deny a celebratory marriage service btwn man and animals, once that is legalized.

Which it will be, consistent with the rejection of historical Judaeo-Christian morality,and adoption of the ever-morphing immorality of secular humanism.

One has to wonder why this is news. If this was really news, why don't they publish articles about Mormons with multiple wives, Muslims treatment of women, Hindus bathing in the fithy Ganges river, on and on?

Contrary to these people's belief, there is nothing unbiblical about interracial marriages. We all come from the same linage of Noah. Marriage is between a man and a woman. That is all the scripture commands and anything more is legalistic nonsense. That being said, this article is nothing more than a Christian hit piece.

when was the last time?

One of the biggest issue in reform and conservative Judaism is the loss of Jews via marriage
