White evangelicals are least likely to say U.S. should accept refugees: How would Jesus respond?

Direct from Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals": "Make the enemy live up to his own book of rules." They are trying to use our Christian faith against us to force us to accept ILLEGAL ALIENS.

The Bible (e.g., Romans 13) also says respect the LAW and GOVERNMENT. ILLEGAL aliens are exactly that--ILLEGAL. I will be kind to them, but my GOVERNMENT doesn't have to let them in.

The pattern the left uses is the Judas Iscariot method of SJW condescending criticism which hides a greedy heart...”Ought not that box of perfume had been sold and the money given to the poor?”

It’s the same pattern of thinking that ultimately leads to betrayal, enslavement and death of many righteous productive people as it led to the death of our Lord!

Leftists. There is nothing they won’t skew to fit their ideals.
It’s up to us personally to do what is right. Not to use the force of government to steal money from people to pay for every whim of the government.
A personal choice, and a personal decision. Sigh.

God’s Word and the teachings of our Lord Jesus are being twisted and used against us by those who are guided by neither.

Our nation is a gift from God, and has led the world in caring for our fellow man. We have destroyed evil, we have rebuilt nations left in ruins by that evil (e.g., Japan, most of Europe), and our people are the most charitable, by far, to have ever walked the face of our planet. None of this is acknowledged, of course, by those who are actively working for our destruction. Once we are brought down —and based on the very clear trends I believe, unfortunately, we will be— we will no longer be in a position to lift up the world. This will give rise to brutal, totalitarian regimes dominating global conditions. It is a spiritual battle being revealed here on earth.

That is an important point that needs to be stressed more, that by helping people in their own communities, they will be there to help others faster and better!!

Really.

It always frosts me when atheists/leftists try to use the Bible against Christians when it is obvious that they do not know what they are talking about like this situation: the same book that they are quoting also states emphatically that the “strangers” among them are to obey the same laws as the Israelites and that the strangers are to worship the God of Israel.

In other words the foreigners are to assimilate and obey the laws of the land.

I wonder if these guys are going to gain anything from reading the Bible, or if they are just condemning themselves by trying to turn the Bible into Lefty talking points? I’ve run into a couple of these guys in the wild and it has been... about what you would expect for atheists trying to quote from a book they loathe to people that they despise.

I dont think Jesus would condemn the average person who is just trying to keep a roof over their heads and their families fed. Jesus of the Bible tended to go after powerful people, like the Pharisees who tried to control people by inflicting a bunch of self-serving rules on them. He went after the money-changers who tried to profit on other people’s faith and worship. He went after the powerful, like international consortiums running palm oil plantations that are grabbing up land in Guatemala and many other developing countries. It is inconceivable that Jesus would encourage people to force small children to make a hard and perilous journey just to line the pockets of corrupt and evil people.
