From a Biblical Point of View is race mixing good or bad?

[Mortimer]

I try to think of some arguments why it is good...

Argument: All humans descendt from Adam and Eve, they diversified because they did something bad, the Flood Noah and his Sons, The disperse after the fall of the tower of Babylon etc. initially they were all the same. So should not be aim to unity, instead of seperation?

You can now tell me why it is bad from a Biblical perspective, and I will try to refute it, or think about it, and if you are right I will acknowledge it and leave you to have won the argument.

To a certain extent yes, but that was mostly in the old testament where it said that Jews/ Israelites were forbidden to mix with the non-believers/ or non- Israelites.

The concept of Israelites or jews predates western categories of race, nation, etc. And they were forbidden for religious reasons, because they would then worshipp other Gods, it is like saying a christian should marry a christian not a non-believer, but it has nothing to do with black and white. The Jews killed the canaanites but it was found out by science that canaanites were not another race, or black, but related to jews, genetically, racially.... so it predates the category of race.

New Testament is free from racial exclusivity, Church and faithful people are the New Israelites and separation is not racial but spiritual. It means I'd sooner marry a Georgian or Serbian Orthodox woman than Russian atheist or agnostic. Lots of Orthodox missionaires marry local converts in non-white countries, nothing wrong for a Christian.

Israelites were not a classic nation of modern definition but a chosen flock, Abraham was not a "Jew" but Chaldean.

You can't be a racist and a Christian. Of course, you come across people who do mental gymnastics to justify their world view in the context of Christianity. Amusingly they refer to the Old Testament often but the only relevance the OT should have to a Christian is the prophecies made that supposedly prove Jesus was the messiah. Sociopaths, however, really like the OT, and understandably so. They see themselves in the bloodlust of the OT God.

God of Old Testament and New Testament is the same God, actually German nazis propagated adapted anicent Marcionite heresy like Old Testament God is a "bad god of jews" and New Testament God is almost antisemitic "good god of anglo-saxon people".

I'm well aware of Marcionism and excuse me for my heresy but it makes a lot of sense. The God of the OT and the God of the NT are very different in character and I do mean character as in it's just make believe.

There are no Orthodox Christians missionaries in any kind of countries. Orthodox churches don't go out of their way to convert people like other Christian churches.

Jesus said nothing of "racism" you liberal cucks. There is nothing at all about this issue in the whole bible.
