Maybe this is why Alex Jones is nuts? He is married to a Jewish woman and he is a Gentile. Does it work for the vice/versa?

That's weird. I have never heard that before. I don't know why a Jewish woman would marry him.

I agree. He thinks the swine flu is part of a conspiracy by elite government officials to take over the world and form a new world order.
Raulmarrio2000:
Moses could perfectly marry any righteous Gentile woman before Mt Sinai, since Torah had not yet been given. At that time Jews and Gentiles alike were under the Noahide Laws. The Patriarchs kept some mitzvot from the Torah they knew before Sinai through prophesy out of their own free will. That's why Yaakov could marry Rachel and Leah even when they were sisters.
Regarding Esther, it is said that she was formally married but that marriage was never consumated. Achasverosh only wanted a very pretty woman to show her in her palace. it sounds very likely that it was so, since when Mordechai asked her to speak to the king to save the Jews, she argued that she was not even allowed to see the King. Anyway, as far as I know, there is no Halacha ordering a Jewess to sacrife her life not to intermarry, and Esther might have been in that situation.
And I have never read that what happened between Noah and Cham was sodomy. The Torah says Cham only saw him uncovered and, since the elder brothers took a cloth to cover him walking backwards not to see him uncovered, I would think that "seeing his nakedness" simply means it plainly, and it does not mean sodomy. If "seeing his nakedness" were an euphemism for sodomy, why would his elder sons need a cloth and walk backward to avoid repeating Cham's sin? Midrash says that Cham castrated Noah not raped him. And it sounds very likely, since he had no more children after that.
BTW, if Cham had in fact raped Noach, Noach would have no guilt since he was unconcious.
And after the Torah was given, yes, no Jew is allowed to marry a Gentile. Even more, if a Jew and a Gentile decided to ignore Torah and cohabitate, it's not marriage, no matter if a civil govt gives them a "certificate". it's still simply fornication, since there is no posible valid marriage between a Jew and a Gentile. Not only bad for the Jew but also for the Gentile, since both are losing the opportunity of a proper marital union. They can unite their bodies, but never their souls. A very sad situation that everyone must avoid

Didn't King David have women from other nations though?
