People who say they’re Christian and a Conservative, that’s an impossible mix. Your party says immigration is bad. But your god says:

Genesis 1:26-27: States that all people are made in the image of God and have inherent dignity

Deuteronomy 10:17-19: Commands God's people to love foreigners because they were once foreigners in Egypt

Exodus 22:21: States that foreigners should not be mistreated or oppressed

Leviticus 19:34: States that foreigners should be treated as native-born and loved as yourself

Leviticus 25:35: States that poor Israelites should be helped as if they were foreigners

Matthew 25:35: States that welcoming strangers is a way to show hospitality

Hebrews 13:2: States that hospitality to strangers should not be neglected
Christians conservatives are only Christian when it benefits them. Conservatives spike the use of apps like Grindr wherever theyre visiting for political debates, despite hating gay people and working to reduce their rights as human beings. Theyre all about the right to refuse service, until they wear horrible t shirts telling people they'll go to hell, and a Subway worker refuses to make their sandwich. They're pro-life until it comes to women dying from lack of healthcare, or doing something about the hundreds of children being murdered at school

Ok we'll just send the migrants to your town so you can take care of them. What state do you live in?
@NoGamesTolerated It’s from the Bible. Don’t you read it?
@ShellSeeker I told you I’m done! Bye!
@ShellSeeker I understand it in the ‘whole’ … you obvious don’t. Please do not leave another comment. I will block you if you do. I’m done!

The Torah also says:

Not to put any Jew to shame.
Leviticus 19:17


Not to intermarry with gentiles. Deuteronomy 7:3

To exact the debt of a foreigner, but not Israelite.
Deuteronomy 15:3


That an Ammonite or Moabite shall never marry the daughter of an Israelite.
Deuteronomy 23:4


Not to sell a Hebrew woman to a foreigner.
Exodus 21:8


To keep the Canaanite slave.
Leviticus 25:46


Not to keep alive any individual of the seven Canaanite nations.
Deuteronomy 20:16


To exterminate the seven Canaanite nations from the land of Israel. Deuteronomy 20:17

Always to remember what Amalek did.
Deuteronomy 25:17


That the evil done to us by Amalek shall not be forgotten.
Deuteronomy 25:19


To destroy the seed of Amalek. Deuteronomy 25:19

Apart from the passages in Matthew and Hebrews, all of your passages come from the Torah. What does the Torah have to do with Christians? It was for the Jew. It is our book. Jesus came to show God to the world, so all nations could follow God. They do not need to follow the 613 Mitzvot. Christians only need to follow the ten commandments.
@emiliya Christians and Jews both believe in the Tanakh.
All the verses are nice but that’s not today’s reality.
We have an administration that abused our security and sovereignty for political purposes and power.

Let’s look at the Haitians: They’re here under “ temporary protected status”. Their country is under siege by gangs and now a multi national military force led by Kenya has deployed there to deal with the crisis of gangs pretty much in an attempt at overtaking the nation.
Now FYI the Haitian military has approximately 1500-2000 military. Ohio as a state recently highlighted, got an influx of 15-20,000. Haitians. They should be sent back and forced to Join their military so they won’t have to flee for whatever reasons they did.
@soar2newhighs You said the Haitians in Ohio should be sent back, but they're here legally. So we're talking about legal migrants here.
@BohemianBabe They’re here under temporary” protected status”. I’m saying they should be returned to support the country they left.
@soar2newhighs So you're also against legal migration?

They don’t care. It was never about being Christ-like. They just want control.

I'm sure you thought MAGAs and Evangelicals understand what being Christian means. Common mistake.

“Matthew 25:35: States that welcoming strangers is a way to show hospitality.”

“Hebrews 13:2: States that hospitality to strangers should not be neglected.”

Does stranger mean foreigner?
@sunsporter1649 Are you against America's founding values?
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@BohemianBabe Are you for letting murderers, child trafficers, drug runners, everybody into the countryt?
@sunsporter1649 Murderers and traffickers, no. Drug runners, sure, drugs should be legal.
But really, this isn't about letting in criminals. The Haitian workers in Springfield are here legally, they all passed a background check, there should be no issue. But y'all are still complaining about them.

It's interesting how many ppl think Christians should be doormats...allowing others to impose their will on us as if we aren't capable of rules or defense.

There is a difference between some immigrants and a foreign invasion. Millions of invaders is NOT merely immigration. People who can't see that aren't discussing in good faith.

There are also the three places in the OT which mention taking care of the widows, the orphans, and the sojourners in your midst, which clearly feeds into Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan

Everybody gets in....murderers, child trafficers, drug runners, everybody! Ain't amerika grand!!
@sunsporter1649 That’s for your God to judge, not you.

Besides - they let you in.
@ShellSeeker Our God gives us a brain. And some of us use it. Why don’t you?!
@ShellSeeker I get angry at how the devil has so many people blindly being used of him!

I’m not a conservative myself, but I would like to point out that the traditional meaning of “conservative” does not necessarily mean hating all immigrants.
human dignity is one of the core principles of conservatism
@ammelee Even their immigration policies? Their need for a wall goes against the instruction from their god to be welcoming and hospitable to foreigners.

@NoGamesTolerated There’s no lies. It’s straight off the pages of the Bible. This is your god’s word.
@ShellSeeker you are blind my dear one. I’m done here and I pray God opens your eyes. Don’t misquote nor misinterpret the scriptures … cause you are severely lacking understanding and wisdom,
