Is It Christian to Be Against Illegal immigrants?

LEFTISTs, who claim to be Christian, are all over the country citing passages from the O.T. to support illegal immigration.  Here’s a prime example from a far-LEFT blogger who claims to be a Christian, all the while being 100% behind abortion and every possible LEFTIST anti-God ideology:

‘When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God…”. ~Leviticus 19

“Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow.” 

~Deuteronomy 27

“You shall not oppress a stranger nor torment him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. You shall not oppress any widow or orphan. 

If you oppress him at all, and if he does cry out to Me, I will assuredly hear his cry; and My anger will be kindled, and I will kill you with the sword!” ~Exodus 22

“Then I will come near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, those who oppress the wage earner in his wages or the widow or the orphan, and those who turn away the foreigner from justice..."

~Malachi 3

"Behold, this was the sin of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had arrogance, plenty of food, and carefree ease, but she did not help the poor and needy." ~Ezekiel 16

[which, of course, includes the needy foreigners and immigrants, of course, because, of course it does - you all take all the wrong parts of the Bible literally and ignore the important truths that are true regardless of a biblical verse!]

Etc, etc, etc.

The first problem with his claim is that these were rules for ISRAEL and not the entire world.

An excellent article refuting this abuse of scripture used to support allowing illegals and taxes supporting everything they need can be found here. However, below are some citations to get you started.

III. GOD’S DESIGN: BORDERS AND BOUNDARIES 

It follows that, if God’s design is for independent nations, then there must be national borders and boundaries for those independent nations. And it follows that there must be enforcement of borders and boundaries by governments in order to maintain a nation’s independence. All of this logically flows from so the Lord scattered. 

Now add Romans 13:1 from the NT to our theological construction. This passage expressly states and reinforces the proposition: God is the author of independent nations: 

Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. 

Notice the last part of this passage: those which exist are established by God. Scripture teaches not only that the Lord scattered people, but in addition, specifically that He established governments and nations. These are key constructive, essential principles relative to immigration. In addition, note that this is all part of what theologians term the mediatorial reign of Christ, i.e., how God in His sovereignty manifests His reign during His physical absence prior to His second coming wherein He will personally reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. 

….

An Israelite citizen is referred to as a countryman (ach) in Scripture, whereas a legal immigrant is referred to as a sojourner (ger) or toshab, and a foreigner is called an illegal (nokri) or zar. Important to this study, and evident from the OT, is that an illegal did not possess the same benefits or privileges as a sojourner or countryman. 

….

THE GOD OF INDEPENDENT NATIONS DIFFERENTIATES BETWEEN THE PEOPLES OF NATIONS

Therefore, governmental leaders today in every nation — to be biblically accurate — should invoke and staunchly maintain legal distinctions of status between their resident peoples: 

Citizens, Immigrants, and Foreigners. To remain biblical, these distinctions should never be obliterated. No reformed immigration policy should attempt to eradicate these distinctions; to do so is to posture oneself as more knowledgeable and insightful than God. 

….

THE IMMIGRATION LAWS OF EVERY NATION SHOULD BE BIBLICALLY BASED AND STRICTLY ENFORCED — ALL WITH THE UTMOST CONFIDENCE AND ASSURANCE THAT GOD APPROVES SUCH ACTIONS BY THE NATION’S LEADERS!

It can’t. 

It was never designed to.

Promoting singleness because marriage is an idol?!?!

People with connections need to get President Trump away from Paula White. She is a rank heretic.

Another exposing of that guy I just recently heard about— Gabe Poirot. A serial LIAR, let alone a heretic.

Smiling Faces.

Thousands of Churches Promote Immigration Lawlessness. I guess these “churches” have decided to ignore Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2:13.

Bits and Pieces

This will be my last post for a while because I’m working on a project to post at a later date.

Now, just a reminder about the Papist church: throughout at least 14th through 17th centuries the church executed (often after torture) those who denied Papist teachings. And yet that church claims to be the one Christ started and that they are the ones who have the truth. Yeh, I’m sure Christ would say torture and execute those who disagree with you.

Not about apologetics, but a thought-provoking article nevertheless.

Learn how to rebut people abusing Scripture to support illegal immigration. Even the Pope abuses it.

Protestor Gnosticism and Its New Apostles. Thought-provoking.

Exposing the False History of the WTBTS. Jehovah’s Witnesses are not really witnesses for Jehovah—they are just another cult of false teachings.

False teacher Paula White (unfortunately Pres.Trump advisor) claims to have seen God’s face. Wait a minute, doesn’t Exodus 33:20 say that no one can see God’s faith and live?

I’m going to no longer continue posting over and over about the same false teachers unless it’s something unusual. I think all my readers, and those who may find my blog, will be able to find a listed false teacher and learn everything one needs to know.

More Good, Bad and UGLY!

Good stuff

BAD

Somewhat disconcerting things in the PCA.

Sean Feucht: Purge the Demons From Your Home?

UGLY

The Pope and his support for Islam is ungodly, stupid and foolish.

Another Catholic Church promoting illegal immigration by comparing illegals with Joseph, Mary, and Jesus. Blasphemy.

This blasphemous heretic of a Catholic needs to be excommunicated but I doubt that will happen.

Josh McPherson is a “pastor” who really needs avoiding, including don’t go to his church!

Jesse Duplantis is as demonic as it gets with his claims.

Patricia King proves just how seriously of a false teacher she is.

The Catholic Church!

“Good Morning America co-anchor Gio Benitez, a homosexual, was confirmed into the Roman Catholic Church on Monday — with his husband serving as his sponsor.”  The Catholic Church is going downhill very quickly.

Comment on Facebook by Robert A J. Gagnon: How is this possible with a Magisterium? Shouldn't the priests who participated in this confirmation of ABC anchor Gio Benitez, a man "married" to a man, into the Catholic Church not be defrocked? The man's "husband" served as his "sponsor"!  What's next? Confirming into the Catholic Church a man in a sexual relationship with his mother, with his mother as his "sponsor"? That's the level of severity same-sex "marriage" has. Actually, if anything, homosexual practice is worse since it is an assault on the very male-female foundation of sexual ethics.

Pope Leo XIV meets with ‘married’ homosexuals at Vatican. So even the Pope is ignoring God’s statement about homosexuality behavior being an abomination!

US bishops continue funding Marxist pro-abortion, pro-LGBT group.  I’m sure God isn’t pleased with this.

On a different note:

In Romans 13 Paul says, Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

So how can Catholics honor God when they condemn the Trump administration for deporting those who are here illegally?!?!  Another look at the situation. And another examination.

Exposing the Wolves

I’ve been quite busy with gigs, doctor appointments, work around the house, and then a few days vacation to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the day we married. So getting time to do much “research and development” for articles has been slim, and will be for a while.

However, I’ve decided to do a post mostly about people — the false teaching wolves who are preying on the sheep of the Church. First, though, I thought I’d give you the Top 10 Ways the Bible Opposes Illegal Immigration

When it comes to these wolves, some are kookier than others and some are more vicious than others. Just be alert!

Michael Gungor, an influential one-time “Christian” music artist needs to be avoided at all costs.

Max Lucado— Homosexual enabler, false teacher, joiner of social justice culture.

Matt Chandler crashing off the rails.

David Taylor, TV fraud.

David Herzog sings loves songs to Jesus as he lies about what “spiritual songs” are.

Hank Kunneman of One Voice Ministries has some wacky ideas about coronavirus vs. abortions.

With charismania we even have a “prophetess” who dies but is resurrected when enough money is put on her.

Tim Henderson has opening and closing heavenly portals.

Mark Taylor is one of those with odd ideas about “chemtrails.”

Jen Hatmaker — this woman has no clue about real Christianity — or real life.

Still think Hillsong isn’t a dangerous cult?

Lastly, don’t send your kids to an Episcopal summer camp. They aren’t Christian.

Good, Bad, and Ugly

The Good:

A good examination of Rastafarianism.

Open borders—illegal immigration—and the Bible.

Exposing the Heresies of the Catholic Church: The Mass

One terrible lie destroying Christianity.

Fighting off the wolves.  But it isn’t just for pastors.

What motivated the writers of non-canonical books?

Reasons why Seventh-day Adventists don’t celebrate Easter; in short, because they are a cult.

Invalid reasons for staying in a church you know teaches false doctrine. Look at the names listed throughout the article—mark and avoid them and their teachings.

The Bad and/or Ugly

Beth Moore is unable to stay out of the lime-light with her asinine pronouncements.  And she thinks she speaks for God!

More Beth Moore—Sigh!

The Gospel Coalition is becoming more and more the “Apostasy Coalition.”

Forgery at the Vatican is nothing new.

A “Come Holy Spirit” Conference!?!?!  A collection of some of the top heretical speakers wants your money to tell you lies.

Here is great collection of videos about many apparitions of “Virgin Mary,” but these apparitions are nothing but demons toying with people who look to Mary as a god.  There is absolutely no biblical support for these being Mary. For further study of this topic, I recommend Quite Contrary: A Biblical Reconsideration of the Apparitions of Mary, by Timothy F. Kauffman, and The Cult of the Virgin: Catholic Mariology and the Apparitions of Mary, by Elliot Miller and Kenneth R. Samples. The evidence for these apparitions being demonic is quite conclusive.

Here’s something I haven’t reported on in a while: Adventures in Missions and World Race. This testimony (with part 2 here) about the organization should be spread far and wide to keep people from even thinking about joining them.
