Let me guess?

“Kingdom Now” Christian Marxist Russell Moore of the SBC is involved in the charade?

Evangelicals have no leaders .
We have a whole crop of people who call themselves Evangelicals now who do not believe the bible or know right from wrong and this can be seen in their deviant stance on the nation of Israel and their support for Islam.

You do not invite a people who are hostile to most Americans into your home or land . Especially when they are military aged single men whose phones in Europe are turning up with pictures of beheading and ISIS symbols .

This nation has lost it’s mind.

King James Bible If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him..... James 1:5

Apparently they are all somewhat light on Bible knowledge.

I think more are against it than for it. But why report the views they disagree with.

Exactly, but it’s amazing the rate that Christian Churches have been infiltrated by wolves over the past two or three decades.

Every single one of these so-called “christian leaders” will have to answer to the Holy Lord one day for enabling evil to come to these shores and slaughter innocent people.

This evangelical says no, and this is a terrible idea.

Yep. This evangelical also says no, but is this what some evangelicals really say, or is it a false story, by some liberal media people, who are just trying to start some garbage?

Those aren't real Christan groups. They are secular Leftists using religion to push their ideological dogmas.

Oh BS, are you still buying the lies of the AP and the rest of the drive-bys?

See my post #14 and get a clue before you spout off.

This is sick. They want to inflict the worst of terror upon us. The younger Boston bomber, for example, made sure that one of those killed was a little boy. These evangelical leaders are evil. They must get some perverted kick out of welcoming people who, if not terrorist, hold values that conflict with ours. For example, they oppose women driving cars.

On Drudge it was reported that almost 80% of all sex crimes in Sweden are committed by immigrants from Moslem and other 3rd world countries.

It’s not just evangelicals, it’s all organized religion and NGOs that the government has been able to purposely dangle millions and billions of bribes and dollars to bring them into the Obama fold. They use our tax dollars as political bribery. They should have their tax free status revoked for playing politics over America.

They believe the refugees are actually "refugees" and that Christians would be the persecuted refugees from muslim controlled nations. They think they're doing "good". They're just ... fooled.

But remember, it is “Christian” groups/organizations that are being paid by the government to resettle these refugees. Of course they don’t want that money to dry up.

Anyone who is not for Islam’s sharia or a terrorist or aN Isis sympathic Islamist and who is pro Christian and Judism, should not be persecuted. They are innocent. The problem is, we don’t know who is who. Obama is pruposely seeding our nation with Islamist terrorists, racists, bigots and sharia supporters.

I will accept Christian, Jewish, Yazidi or even Baha'i refugees.

I will NOT welcome mohammedan Invaders.

Thankfully my church is not ignorant enough to ask me to do so.
