While the Bible doesn’t use the word immigrant, it does say Jesus and his family fled to Egypt to escape violence. That makes them refugees. Refugees are displaced people. Displaced people crossing borders are immigrants. By today’s standards, Jesus would absolutely be treated as one and rejected by the very people claiming to follow him. You guys are Judas
lol yea of course nobody coming here illegally will do anything illegal good point. get a grip on reality 😭 sorry guys I trust early church fathers and the church that Jesus christ gave the keys to more than your denomination that started 1500 years later. btw you guys are missing like 10 books out of your bible. Return to the church that Christ left✌️
1. Trump cannot throw rocks because he have sinned many times. A true Christian loves their neighbor regardless of skin color, sexuality and religion. 2 A true Christian wouldn’t be tearing families apart and then getting on the internet posting it with the caption “ It’s ICE SEASON.” A true Christian would not use wealth to destroy other ppl lives. They would not use wealth as a status symbol. A true Christian follows Jesus leadership style. Kindness, forgiveness, faith and love.
The bible also states that those are wealthy should use their wealth to help the needy. To also use their resources and extend the gospel. Also True Christian don’t worship materialism. Wealth is the root of the evil which the bible states. Also true Christian don’t worship human flesh. They don’t get on stage and bash other ppl knowing they have done wrong themselves.
Also the bible states that when two or more are gathered together things start to happen. Things start to break. That is why trumps “empire.” Is about to break. You don’t get to do wrong and think you won’t pay for it. Many of Americans are true Christians. They’re all over the world. So their prayers and their praise are going to shift this country. You don’t see it but you will feel it. Trump and any other person that follows him will pay. Anyone who disrespects God will pay simple
I’m not sure how you’re connecting the Bible and immigration papers. And then you’re accusing me of”lack of literacy” which has nothing to do with the conversation. I refuse to engage in conversation with someone who is more focused on trying to be better than someone else. You can’t even define what a real Christian is.
You guys like to say things without the facts. Obama deported people with due process they were criminals, and charges had been filed and proven against them. This includes both of Obama’s terms as president. Trump, on the other hand, has deported people without due process and without charges being filed. He has literally deported U.S. citizens people born here simply because they were assumed to be immigrants.
yess i know it’s frustrating but we’re in this together twin 🙏 LMAOO FR THO like he’s literally just a podcaster and his wife is just as bad maybe worse by the way she preaches women be at home with their kids while she’s out here holding events/ceremonies (whatever tf they are) in arenas and not taking care of her kids 😭
Yes like they’re talking about cause she’s a diva she’s innocent. 😐😭 Babes she married him for a reasons and it’s not just looks. She knows what he’s doing. She’s okay with it because it’s bringing her income. That’s why we have to stick together because ppl are not realizing it’s the government vs the people. It’s wealthy vs poor. Idk how these ppl got brainwashed into thinking that wealthy ppl are their friends. 😐
No administration is morally clean, especially on foreign policy and immigration. But ‘no one had morals anyway’ ignores real differences in how leaders treated institutions, elections, the judiciary, and political opponents. McCain operated within those constraints; Trump openly undermines them.
Jesus NEVER left the roman empire it is closer to another state not a new country. NEH 2:17 “You see the trouble we are in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins with its gates burned. Come, let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer suffer derision.” Romans 13:1 says “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities.” I hate ICE but obey the law of the land and come legally. Heaven has a gate and a strict immigration policy, hell has open borders. Hope this helps.
Judea was a client kingdom under Herod the Great, not yet a direct Roman province. Crossing into Egypt, which was a direct province of the Emperor, meant crossing a recognized international boundary. Theologically, it also makes more sense that he is an immigrant. He is described as a “foreigner” or “stranger” (Greek word, Xenos) and Matthew explicitly uses the word pheuge (flee), the root word of refugee.
No one is denying he was a refugee but calling it a internationally recognized boundry in a time without proper citizenship law, border control, or asylum laws using it as an open border argument is crazy and no I dont think calling it similar to state to state is as wrong as considering him an immigrant in modern meaning
Hate maga but immigrants and refugees arent the same thing and framing it in a way that says we should have open borders with no need for papers because Jesus was able to move between roman territories is not a proper argument for modern day immigration from country to country as almost all countries now have well controlled borders and immigration laws due to the earths population being at least 20x what it was when he walked the earth so I do think it is a hefty false equivalency.
So again you’re proving my point I know I’m a little late to this argument here but you’re proving my point you claim to love Jesus and that you are a Christian, but you will not follow in his practice. How can you claim to follow Jesus when you’re the same person who’s going to mistreat him and deny him access to a country which one does not belong to anyone it was stolen. Let’s start there.
Paul wrote to timothy that protecting your family/community is a priority so when people rightfully complain 24/7 about the problems and violence plaguing our country that we currently are unable to control it is insane to say that we should let everyone in without the safety measures that keep us safe. Paul also said in romans to respect the laws. You all talk about Jesus as if he didn’t obey civil laws or show respect to the land he was in. literally told his followers to obey the law LMFAO
And I can tell you do not read the Bible, because the Bible literally states in Matthew about hypocrisy you look righteous on the outside, but on the inside you are dead and washed up. Just like the Bible says, you MAGA people pretend to be righteous on the outside, but on the inside you’re just as hateful and evil. You do not live what you preach.
You guys are hypocrites. You say “Oh, we love Jesus, we love everyone” but then turn around and say “We only love you if you fit a certain standard if you look a certain way and have papers.” You claim to love Jesus and follow his word, yet you turn around and disrespect it. You twist his word, and you guys are the very people who would betray him if he came to America, because he would actually be an immigrant.
Go back to church. Pick up an actual Bible. Read the entire Bible, and when you do, maybe just maybe we can have a conversation. But I can’t preach to a brick wall, because that same brick wall only hears what it wants to hear. Right now, I’m preaching and singing to a choir that only knows one tune. You are not a Christian you are a hypocrite just looking for a word to back up your messed up views. When in reality it doesn’t back you up it calls you out.
LMFAOO What are you talking about 😭😭”yall have literally broken every commandment and every law” Im not even republican uou just cant fathom someone on the left not agreeing with every single thing weve been told to support. Yes matthew talks about hypocrisy, you talk about how we live on stolen land but wont give your house and property back and leave will you? Go live in Antarctica probably the only place where the land wouldnt have been “stolen” from someone
Christian here :) Exodus 22:21 “do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in egypt.” (Deuterotomy 10:19 is a very similar message) Hebrews 13:2 “do not forget to show hospitality to strangers”. Mark 12:33 “love your neighbor as yourself”. Galatians 5:13 “do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self indulgence”. Matthew 25:40-25:45 is another good one to look at as well. God bless!
Technically it’s not false because he fled to Egypt, which at the time was still under Roman control. That being said, the Holy Family fled from Bethlehem to Egypt to escape King Herod's threat, fitting the basic definition of seeking refuge or asylum from violence. The Gospel of Matthew explicitly describes this flight, with an angel warning Joseph to flee to Egypt for the child's safety
