Both Ezra and Nehemiah, whose historical books are found in about the middle of the Old Scriptures, solved the race problems of their time by separating the races and forbidding intermarriage, and both did so according to the law of God as found in the Scriptures. To those who imagine the Old Scriptures are not for us today I need only to cite two passages by the Apostle Paul. Here again Paul states that the Old Scriptures were written for our admonition or learning. And no Christian at all familiar with the Old Scriptures would or could be in favor of racial intermarriage. It is forbidden and condemned in the strongest words.
Equal opportunity is Christian and scriptural.
Forced integration is neither Christian nor scriptural. Throughout the Scriptures we find that God's order in every realm has always been separation, selection, and discrimination. All rights reserved.
