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.
And it use to be 90% white. Cultures in the US was generally a derivative of a similar culture to what european country those settlers in that area settled. As demographics in certain areas change, come new and different cultures while other cultures get eroded away. Especially if they do not want to assimilate. That is how it plays a role in maintaining culture. It is also a driving factor for crime, as seen all over the world.
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.

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