Line 9: − + − Some radical churches teach that miscegenation is contrary to the will of God, as clearly expressed in the Bible (in their view). Others downplay its prohibition in Scripture, but counsel against it for pragmatic reasons, pointing to harmful effects on both spouses, and especially on the children. Despite these Scriptural and pragmatic considerations, most Churches accept it, or even encourage it. − − As in all spiritual matters, it is recommended that you discuss any concerns with your pastor, after carefully considering the prohibitions laid down in the Word of God.

In the Book of Ruth, Ruth was a Moabite whom God had forbidden the Israelites to make marriage with. Ruth however accepted the God of Israel as her God and Boaz as her kinsman-redeemer, whom she married. Ruth went on to be [[King David]]'s great-grandmother and [[Jesus]] was born of the [[House of David]]. The Book of Ruth teaches that God loves all people, and by Ruth is the [[salvation]] that is in Christ available to the [[gentile]]s, who now can be adopted into God's family.
