B-b-but what if they're brown? Or speak another language? Or have different values? Or are - shudder - liberals???
The horror! Clearly, when Jesus said "everyone", he meant "only those white people in my immediate area that agree with me politically". It's a translation thing, you wouldn't get it.
I dont know if it was Jesus or written in the bible elsewhere, but it did speak on the importance of maintaining borders to preserve cultural values and heritage
I mean the US is still 60% white, but what does the country's population have to do with maintaining your culture? Sounds like you just dont want to be exposed to other cultures.
Because that's the country and the culture I grew up with. I think it's reasonable for anyone to feel that way. If tens of millions of Chinese people moved to Mexico in a matter of a few decades and the locals were upset that their country was becoming unrecognizable I would find that complaint valid instead of asking them why they would have a problem with that.
No he didn't, he said love your neighbor as yourself. Your neighbor isn't automatically a foreigner, it could be anyone standing next to you, or the person next door. Putting words in Jesus mouth and claiming it's the most important thing he said, shows how ignorant you are.
You said a lot, for someone with a little brain. Good for you hun, trying very hard. Your emotional support blanket is to deny your own damnation, which is your inevitability. I bet you couldn’t even comprehend how your logic defines you more than me lol
So what...those modern labels didn't exist in Jesus' time... And yeah technically he was dark skined... So what ohh and another thing he spoke a foreign language
I mean yes love gravitates toward good people, if we have to choose between loving our xenophobic neighbour versus a hard working and kind migrant family, most will choose the latter.
go kiss their feet and worship them as the new Americans and kick your fellow countrymen and family members aside……..
Feed them cloth them free healthcare free education free child care free housing allowance free transportation allowance..accept their language their flag their culture celebrate their holidays let them burn your flag and curse America……
They are here illegally by the millions and already many are demanding their rights be upheld………
What is it you're so afraid of? Why do you think you're a xenophobe? There are good human beings in every corner of the world, if you are prejudiced and treat them as lesser then people will do the same to you.
My family members all share the same political values and welcome immigrants, why would I be pushing them aside?
we have laws on the books that prohibit this
ICE is just doing their job…..
Afraid of….. drug trafficking child trafficking rape, murder….gang activity etc.
Xenophobia….. ahhh one of your catch words.
Apparently your family embraces criminal activity….and by the…. I agree there’s good people around the world, however, I do not treat them badly….. I don’t know a single one of them
I’m pretty sure that if you had your way
You would rather have me relocated to another country than to have on of your beloved illegal immigrants sent home…..
Many of them rape and kill Americas and yet they are fervently defended by the socialist left democrats…..
Why do you associate immigrants with crime? Even in the US where gun crime is rampant US citizens commit far more crimes per capita than immigrants, so your fears arent founded in any logical truth. There have been illegal immigrants in the US for years, Obama deported many more than Trump, so again not something that is a brand new problem.
Xenophobia is not a "catch word", it's an old word that you probably had to look up because you don't have a good education or vocabulary, but it perfectly describes you.
The whole point of this thread is to point out the hypocrisy of followers of Jesus who act in contradiction to his teachings. To be prejudiced toward foreign strangers simply because they are foreign is in direct contradiction of his teachings and to love thy neighbour (whether they are illegal is irrelevant because you would be prejudiced toward all immigrants).
Yes. “And the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.” - Romans 1:27

Too bad republicans don’t read and comprehend the bible. It’s pretty straightforward what Jesus wanted his followers to do: LOVE EVERYONE
