The very concept of "race" is a man made construct and not God-made construct. Race classifies of humans into groups based on physical traits, ancestry, genetics or social relations, or the relations between them. 

 

To my understanding, there is no objective, scientific standard for defining a "race" of humanity, because the standards we use to classify a certain race are arbitrary. The truth of the matter is, it is scientifically impossible for a doctor or scientist to identify a person's “race” solely by examining that person's DNA (i.e., there is no such thing as "black" DNA or "white" DNA, etc.).

 

Within normal human DNA, God has prepared the diversity of physical traits we see within the human population on earth today. Every physical trait of human beings (e.g., our skin darkness, our facial features, our hair type, our height, etc.) varies along a spectrum of diversity. Therefore, science cannot identify – much less define – a clear-cut delineation between one "race" and another.  

 

We only find gradual shifts in human traits between various populations of people in the world, and these differences cluster according to geography and family relationships, which themselves are based in migration and marriage patterns. For example, human DNA supports a wide range of skin colour and these variations cluster by geography. Populations living in hotter climates with greater exposure to the sun tend to exhibit greater concentrations of skin pigment, while populations living in cooler climates develop less.

 

Such variations are a result of the normal programming found in every human being's DNA, and therefore these differences are meaningless apart from whatever arbitrary meaning we may choose to assign to them. Assigning human beings to a racial group is not only subjective, but also inherently biased. Sinful humanity has favoured the use of racial labels to discriminate and oppress those perceived to be the enemy.

 

And racial prejudice is not limited to one culture or period of history. Greeks have oppressed Turks, Indians have oppressed Pakistanis, Europeans have oppressed Asians, and of course in American society, Caucasians have historically oppressed non-Caucasians, especially African-Americans. Moreover, when physical differences are harder to come by sinful hearts will turn to other means of showing prejudice, such as religion and language. Also, men have historically oppressed women, the healthy have oppressed the sick, and the strong have oppressed the weak.

 

In each of these cases, sinful hearts used arbitrary physical distinctions as justification for cruelty against others, and any such hatred or prejudice is sinful and unbiblical. Such sinful attitudes and behaviours have no place in the life of a Christian for they are neither loving nor godly. 

 

This is especially true for the believer who understands the Creation account in Genesis, since that account reminds us that all humanity descends from the same parents, as we read in the Bible:

 

Genesis 1: 26-28 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So, God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.

God never intended for mankind that they will rule one another. This is the fallen nature of mankind. This was the deception of Satan and mankind fell into it.

 

Acts 17:24,25,26 “The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things.and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation,

 

This above passages from the Bible renders the idea of "race" is meaningless.  Because all humanity descended from one man, we are all of one race!  The physical differences that exist between any two people on earth are no more meaningful than the differences that may exist between a brother and sister in the same nuclear family. As per the creator of mankind, we are all literally from one family, as such, it is both illogical and unbiblical for a Christian to hold prejudice against another person because of a difference in physical features or for any other matte (e.g., skin colour).

 

Christians of all people should understand that we cannot indulge any prejudice against another person on the basis of meaningless physical differences since all humanity descended from the same two parents, and therefore any Christian harbouring hateful or discriminatory thoughts toward another person for any reason is sinning and should repent. Instead, we must show love to everyone, even those we perceive to be our enemies, as Yahushua said:

 

Matt. 5:43-48 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy. “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. “For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? “If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? “Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

 

Finally, since we find nothing in the Bible concerning race, there is no such thing as interracial marriage. Therefore, a marriage union is possible between any adult man and woman on earth, since our physical traits are completely irrelevant to the question of who we marry.
