Taken out of context.... on purpose.

Lets say you own a ranch. Someone comes and knocks on your door, asks to come in and stay with you a while. They'll work around the ranch and help out, fix things up around the house etc. They just want a chance at the american dream. Sounds good right?

Someone else breaks through your door, tells you you owe them your stuff, and starts redecorating. Then they start threatening you and your kids with violence if you don't allow them to do whatever they want with your home. Should you just accept this?

There's a big difference.

Totally out of context. Those laws were for the Israelites. The principles are valid, but these people who are trying to enter the US are breaking the law. The Israelites didn’t have hundreds of thousands of people crashing the border. They would have seen it as an invasion.

Because it IS an invasion. Many of those coming in are Human & Drug traffickers, criminals, murderers and terrorists and they are coming in illegally. The Reddit Christian basher is a flaming liberal who is peddling his BS. Do you bring this kind of people in on your family? No. Then why would you want to bring it into our country?! Common sense, please.

There we go, common sense. I don’t think it exists for leftists! The idiot whines about what the Israelites did, but has no problem killing babies, taking away people’s ability to defend themselves with firearms, and pushing socialism. What a fool.

Did you look at the original writing to see if the translation is accurate? Also, context matters. Christians are under no obligation to consent to evil. Christians are under no obligation to assist a satanist or to assist the satanic agenda.

I don’t know how awoke you are, so I will not say more for the moment.

There is also something in the Bible about taking the more out of your own eye before worrying about your neighbor. I am not sure that applies, but we have homeless and hungry Americans. Many of them veterans.

There's a distinction between illegal aliens and legal aliens.

It doesn't mean we have to be mean to people if they are illegal, but as a nation of laws there's nothing wrong with sending them home.

Again, if they want to live here they need to enter legally.

The Bible also says to obey the laws of the land.

No, there's no hypocrisy in having a policy of law and order.

If Trump said round em up and kill em that'd be one thing. But that's not what is happening.

So no, OP. I reject the premise of your post.

And further, if we really want to help people in other countries, then we need to pray for their nations and also assist in any way we can to give them better government so that they won't feel the need to come here in the first place.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say you are obligated to sit on your hands while your nation is invaded and pillaged.

Render unto Ceaser or obey the law of the land.

A non Christian or an atheist can’t tell us what to believe from our Bible. That’s the height of hypocrisy.

Probably going to get down voted to oblivion, but the real trouble with Christianity is that they elevate a real life living and breathing man (Jesus), to the status of God. It's insulting, pagan, and no different than saying Julius Ceasar is God during the Roman Empire. It just takes a little bit of critical thinking. The real truth, is that Jesus was a prophet, delivering the word of God, like Abraham and Moses before him. This is what all other Abrahamic faiths believe. Praying to a man, will get you nothing in the eyes of God.

Jesus was never god. Tradition from 3rd century on made Jesus the Son, equivalent with God the Sun. Pagan got mixed into and corrupted true Christianity. Jesus was the first heavenly son of god, equivalent to Adam, the first earthly son of god. Jesus took Adam’s place and gave up a perfect, sinless life for the one Adam forfeited and doomed all of us, his children, to sin and death. Jesus prayed to his father and there are many other proofs against Jesus being the almighty and not part of a pagan trinity pantheon. We pray in Jesus’ name but not to him. We need to direct prayers to the same god Jesus directed his prayers to. Like all stuff behind the scenes in government that anons now know about, the history of religion is very much the same way. Most of the truth has been obfuscated from the masses under layers and layers of lies. OP, the answer is not to deny religion; but rather to examine the Bible itself for how god want us to serve him and not the other way round. Other commenters are right about those verses taken out of context. Foreigners were not just any ol person. Way back then, culture in Middle East was very hospitable. Foreigners would go to the town square and someone would invite them to their house for meal and lodging. That was the kindness to foreigners the Bible is talking about. There were other strict laws about theft and covetousness. Those could hold death penalty under Jewish law. Jesus summed up the now defunct Law in two commands. Love god with your whole self and love your neighbor as yourself. If you allow one neighbor to harm another neighbor is that showing love to both? Absolutely not. Showing love means abiding by justice so we don’t skew over to the oppressors side.

John 10: 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

We are all the offspring of God. Many of the Church Fathers in the later centuries taught that God (capital G) came into this world to become a man to teach man how to become a god (little g.)

The Council of Nicea decided what to leave in the Bible and what to take out. The Vatican endorsed the assasination of Queen Elizabeth 1st. I was raised Catholic until i got older and had many questions about the gap in the Bible...nothing on Jesus until he was approx 30 years old ? cherry picking. BEWARE FALSE PROPHETS.

There are many of us who were raised Catholic until we got older; each leaving for their own reasons. I was ready to start again with Confession and weekly Mass when we got the new Pope. I think I might have made it to church a half dozen times before I stopped again. I can talk to God on my own and have done just fine, maybe better.
