A Biblical Defense of Keeping Kind with Kind

 

 

Introduction

In a time of confusion, disorder, and rebellion against created order, it is vital that we return to the Scriptures — not to follow the shifting values of man, but to hold fast to the unchanging Word of God. This article is not a manifesto of hate, nor a treatise on race. It is a spiritual meditation on boundaries, order, and covenant fidelity, as revealed in the 1611 Authorized King James Bible.

The modern world cries “Love is love,” but the Word of God establishes a deeper truth: kind begets kind. Whether in seed, family, or covenant, the God of Abraham sets limits, not to bind man, but to preserve holiness, identity, and purpose.

 

I. From the Beginning: No Mixing of Kind

Genesis 1 repeats a sacred pattern:

“And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.” (Gen 1:12)

 

This phrase — after his kind — is repeated ten times in the Creation account. It is not redundant; it is emphatic. God established distinct boundaries between the kinds. Whether plant, beast, or man, the divine blueprint honors set-apartness. Leviticus later forbids sowing two kinds of seed in one field or yoking an ox and ass together — not merely for agricultural order, but as a spiritual sign (Lev 19:19, Deut 22:10).

 

God’s world is not chaos. It is patterned, ordered, and separated.

 

II. Jude’s Warning: “Strange Flesh” as Rebellion

The Epistle of Jude gives a sobering parallel:

“Even as Sodom and Gomorrha... giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.” (Jude 1:7)

The phrase strange flesh is more than mere immorality. The Greek word heteros (translated “strange”) implies another of a different kind. This is not just sexual sin — it is covenant violation, crossing over the boundaries set by God.

It is not “natural affection” (Romans 1:26) that is condemned — it is unnatural craving, the lust for that which God has not joined. In today’s terms, many seek novelty, forbidden blending, or “progressive unions” that may seem loving, but in truth dissolve the sacred distinctions God placed between peoples, families, and purposes.

 

III. Israel and the Covenant of Separation

Throughout the Old Testament, Israel was warned against joining themselves to foreign nations — not for racial superiority, but to preserve the spiritual inheritance and covenantal identity.

“Thy daughters shalt thou not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son... for they will turn away thy son from following me.” — Deut 7:3–4

 

“They have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands…” — Ezra 9:2

 

The concern was always covenantal: would the next generation walk in the ways of the LORD, or be pulled into idolatry, confusion, or compromise?

 

IV. Christ, the Bridegroom, and the Law of Likeness

Even the marriage metaphor of Christ and His Bride (the Church) is grounded in likeness. Christ marries His own kind — a redeemed, washed, and prepared people. The holy union reflects sameness in spirit, purpose, and submission to the Father.

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers…” — 2 Cor 6:14

This principle of “like with like” is not restrictive; it is protective. It shields what is sacred from being diluted, erased, or lost.

 

V. Modern Confusion: Born Which Way?

The modern world loves the phrase “born this way” — but Scripture calls us to be born again (John 3:3).
Not according to the flesh or the world’s definition of identity, but by water and Spirit into the Kingdom of God.

Being “born this way” into a specific people, family, or cultural identity is not something to erase or reinvent — it is something to honor, redeem, and preserve within the boundaries of righteousness.

 

When God chose to send Christ, He was not born into a blended empire or a cultural soup — but into a specific line, tribe, and nation. There is wisdom in that.

 

Conclusion: God’s Order Is Holy

The Scriptures uphold the principle that order, separation, and kind with kind are reflections of God’s holiness — not man’s prejudice. To keep faith with that divine design is not to hate, but to revere.

 

To preserve your family, your culture, and your covenant faithfulness is not to reject others, but to honor the God who made all things after their kind.

 

Let each tree bear its fruit in season.

 

Let each seed bring forth of its own. And let us not crave what is strange — but cherish what is true.
