Mississippi wedding venue claims 'Christian belief' reason for rejecting interracial couple
Fox News ^ | September 4, 2019 | Nicole Darrah

A Mississippi wedding venue that refused to host an interracial couple on their big day — reportedly citing — has seemingly backtracked after the owner reread the Bible and spoke with her pastor.

Boone's Camp Event Hall in Booneville was recently working with a (couple) — a black man and a white woman — to host their (nuptials) at the business. Roughly a week into planning, however, the pair received a message from the business owner that they would not be allowed to get married there "because of [the venue’s] beliefs.”

Is the ‘black man’ actually a man or is it one of those deviants who pretends to be a man and expects everyone else to participate in their mental illness?

Sadly there is scriptural support for taking a stand on perverse sexual activity, but no support to forbid racial mingling. It weakens the whole lot of believers standing on conviction.

To deny them the service is a shame BUT:

This is becoming a handy formula.

There are groups going around with the INTENT of being refu$ed.

They’re disappointed when they get positive receptions because that’s NOT their mi$$ion:

The Cake Formula, errr...recipe, rather.

You must not realise that God forbids mixtures.

Hey at least they were bothering to marry

Most mixed race kids around here consist of obese mom with a slew of brownish chillins and not a sperm donor in sight

I’m talking obese to the point of Chinese eyes

These pappys are hit and run

That is correct. The very concept of dividing by skin color is anti-Christian.

The twisted bigot in question is mocking God by hiding his ugly prejudices behind a phony veneer of “Christianity”

Not in the Bible. Neither is the ban on gay marriage. Didn't Moses have a black wife?

"The idea that Moses had a black wife apparently comes from Numbers 12:1 which says Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of his Cushite wife. Some say this identifies her as a descendant of Noah's grandson Cush. The Hebrew word Cush means black, and Cush is said to be the father of the black African people."

Pffffft!

There are more than enough rubes on our side that not only believe the same, but will tacitly cheer this.

>>You must not realise that God forbids mixtures.<<

So, with me being part indian, part white and a little african american, does that mean god hates me? Is he going to cast me into the pits of hell just for that? Is he going to cast my parents into the pits of hell just for that?

True or no, miscegenation has been vilified and condemned by a lot of religious folks, all the way back to when Miriam got mad at her brother Moses when he married an Ethiopian woman. The Lord made it plain that He is “no respecter of persons.” (Numbers 12)

Please cite the bible passage where God forbids mixtures. And don’t take something out of context the way Satan does.

Actually if you click through the article, the venue owner admits that she ‘thought it was in the Bible’, because she had long held the belief that different ethnic groups shouldn’t intermarry. When it was pointed out to her that the Bible has no such prohibition (only that Believers should marry Believers), she checked and conferred with her Pastor. Then she realized that she was wrong - and her long held belief was not Biblical (just run of the mill prejudice). When she realized this to be the case she apologized to the couple. The couple graciously accepted her apology, but understandably said, ‘Thanks, but no thanks. We will have our Wedding venue elsewhere’.

This is old news recycled by the scumbags at Fox. It was settled a few days ago. The vendor said it thought it was in the bible. Everybody knows that was a lie; but it’s over. Only Fox and CNN would run this story now.
FOX IS NOT OUR FRIEND. Dump Fox for One America News because OAN IS what Fox used to pretend to be when it pretended to care what we thought of them.

I can't see an interracial couple being a violation of Christian belief. Or have I missed something during my many decades on this earth?

“You must not realise that God forbids mixtures.”

Wow! I’m definitely headed for a family reunion in the Lake of Fire! My family doesn’t just talk about “celebrating diversity”, we drop our pants and do something about it!
