Paula White, and the whole Prosperity Gospel, is nonsense, but the people trying to use this argument to defend third world immigration have no conception of what the Gospel is about.
#1 - Jesus wasn’t a refugee. His family was moving because high taxes.
#2 - Jesus obeyed the law. Even when he was sentenced to death for a crime he didn’t commit.
Satan can quote Scripture when it suits his purpose.
Not a fan of White, but she is right. Roman immigration rules were different than ours. Jesus was fleeing Herod, and broke no laws
He was not a refugee.
..more importantly the President has people like Robert Jefress and Franklin Graham in his counsel—otherwise I would be concerned...
I am not religious and I am not conversant in the gospel. However I find it hard to believe that there’s anything in the Bible that indicates we have any sort of moral obligation to turn this country into a third-world craphole.
And in a practical sense there’s no evidence that turning this country into third world craphole is going to do anyone else any good in the first place.
This may be a poor analogy but if someone is drowning and it is impossible for you to save them, you aren’t doing them any good if you jump in and drown with them.
America has always admitted refugees but we can’t absorb them by the millions and we can’t take in criminals.
If we are flooded by 3rd world people, we’ll become a 3rd world country. What’s good about that?
You see, you don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
Somewhere, somehow, somebody
Must have kicked you around some
Tell me why you wanna lay there
And revel in your abandon
Honey, it don't make no difference to me, baby
Everybody's had to fight to be free
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
Even if he had broken a law, and he didn’t, breaking a law isn’t necessarily a sin
What folks are missing in the “fled to Egypt” when they try to make the “immigrant” argument, is that both Israel and Egypt were under Roman rule as parts of the Roman Empire, thus they were moving from one part of the Empire to another, rather like US citizens legally moving from one state to another, such as from Maryland to Indiana.
Ummm... Jesus was also an INFANT at the time.
His PARENTS took him to Egypt - AND THEN BACK HOME.
Jesus had no say in it.
Its a stupid premise to begin with.
Democrats want to quote the Bible when it suits them, but not as it applies to marriage or pro-life.
Paula White—pffft.
