'Opposite of nature of God!' Archbishop blasts Boris over Rwanda asylum seeker policy
express ^ | Apr 17 | By JACK WALTERS

Posted on 04/17/2022 10:16:33 AM PDT by RandFan

The Archbishop of Canterbury will use his Easter sermon to criticise the Prime Minister and his Cabinet colleagues after Mr Johnson unveiled fresh plans to stop Channel crossing migrants arriving from in the UK. A record-breaking 28,395 migrants reached British shores in 2021 after making the perilous 21-mile journey from Calais.

"We can't ask the British taxpayer to write a blank cheque to cover the costs of anyone who might want to come and live here."

The Government's plan will see illegal immigrants, including those who have crossed the Channel in small boats, travel 6,000 miles to east Africa.

However, Welby will claim the plan to send tens of thousands of asylum seekers to Rwanda will not stand up to God’s judgement, according to the Times.

Speaking at the Holy Communion service at Canterbury Cathedral later today, he will say the details of the proposal are "for politics" but "the principle must stand the judgment of God and it cannot".

He will add: "It cannot carry the weight of resurrection justice, of life conquering death.

"It cannot carry the weight of the resurrection that was first to the least valued, for it privileges the rich and strong.

"And it cannot carry the weight of our national responsibility as a country formed by Christian values, because sub-contracting out our responsibilities, even to a country that seeks to do well like Rwanda, is the opposite of the nature of God, who himself took responsibility for our failures."

Drop them all off at the Archbishop’s house. He’ll know how to take care of them.

Christ individually took the responsibility. And His guidance was for individuals. At no point did he suggest that government had the responsibility to act for unwilling individuals, nor can government atone for the citizens. We each are responsible to act in charity and love and we each make it heaven or hell, depending on that reaction, not our government’s reaction.

Apparently, the Archbishop thinks Rwanda is hell and Rwandans are satan.

“A record-breaking 28,395 migrants reached British shores in 2021”

Whoa, 28K? That’s like half a day’s worth on our southern border.

Did anyone ask what the Rwandans think of this? Rwanda is a small, mainly Catholic country that might not want the UK’s problems.

“...cover the costs of anyone who might want to come and live here...”

The UK is very generous to those illegal aliens who arrive and it these free benefits for which the UK is flooded with illegals.

From God’s Ten Commandments we read these three: You shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness. You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor. Surely the Archbishop must know God cannot be happy with these bloodsuckers.

God is a nationalist. Seems like having your country overrun with Africans is would be more on the “God’s judgement” side.

>resurrection justice

Maybe this time I’ll manage the reply without deleting it in anger.

1. The only people who write/say “(adjective) justice” are communists who use both whatever adjective (e.g., social, environmental, racial) and the real meaning of ‘justice’ to push vile agendas.

2. In particular the vile agenda here is actually the eradication of Christianity and Christendom by importing hordes of violent, largely Muhammedan, thugs to leech England dry while assaulting and raping its citizens.

3. For this reason the abuse of the Resurrection of Our Lord as a political weapon to gain not more salvation but less is beyond all boundaries.

FU Justin Welby, Archbishop of Hell.
