You're supposed to read what the Bible says. You couldn't show one scripture that says so called interracial marriage is a sin. Likewise no book, chapter and verse to show that interfaith means interracial.
Each passage has to be taken in its context to indicate the meaning of the word as it is used.

Case and point with the word "nation". Taking how it is applied in one text to fill it in another will confuse scripture lesson and doctrine.

Using the word as meaning holy nation or holy people in a passage about people from different lands of ancestry will mix up the identity of the interpretation. So if I say , let's go to a scripture where it indicates interracial marriage (which I interpret as interfaith marriage), you go to the book of Numbers where it indicates what you'll refer to as an interracial marriage . l'll say this is not an interracial marriage. The passage makes no reference to faith. You'd be totally confused of what I'm talking about due to my exteme radical extrapolation.

I don't dictate what the bible says, the bible itself, the historians and the faithful do.

I am merely copy-pasting the works.

PRO has also misappropriated the verse he posted about Christianity being a race. It seems perfectly obvious to me that that verse is using "race" in an informal, colloquial (almost poetic) sense that has nothing to do with skin color.

I think PRO is conflating the words "race" and "ideologies" here, as "race" is typically used to refer to different kinds of ethnicity rather than different worldviews. CON's usage of "interracial marriage" in this debate seems to be referring to marriage between individuals who do not share the same skin color. That being said, the bible does indeed discourage differing ideologues from marrying each other, and rightly so. Marrying someone with a worldview that fundamentally contradicts yours is a recipe for needless strife and hardship. However, difference in perspective is not the same thing as difference in skin color, the latter of which is not condemned anywhere in the bible. Of course, that's CON's contention to defend, so I'll leave him to it.
