Question
okay i was wondering if there is anything in the bible about mixed race dating like if a black guy dates a white girl and if its wrong

Answer
Hello Samantha,
Thank you for your question. There is nothng at all in the bible to say that there is anything wrong with dating in mixed races. In fact one of the main points of the Christian Church is that it should be a context in which all barriers are broken down. Obviously there are pastoral considerations. If two people from different races date then they need to be prepared for criticism from those who should know better, and it marriage is contemplated then the issue of how their children will be treated becomes an issue but these things can be handled in a Godly way.
I hope this answer is of some help to you.
May God bless you
