RE: How Should Christians View the Immigration Debate?

in The Kingdom4 months ago

Such a loaded question for sure.

As a Christian, the easy answer is....Love your neighbour. It's pretty clear, even if we dont want to look at the old testament examples, that Jesus clearly stated we are to love everyone. Period.

But then you get into the geo-political spectrum and things get....Suspect. I don't have enough knowledge to be for or against the topic. But I do know....Ephesians 6:12.

So your fellow man, is never the enemy. That's what THE enemy wants. For us to hate each other.

Sort:  

"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."

Quite right. To my mind, the world of politics is anti-Christ. It sets us against our neighbors. it demands we covet, hate, and murder. We erect idols of nationalism. We are to be a beacon of truth, hope, and love against such forces, not complicit in its evils.

Amen to that.

My kingdom is not of this world.

I cringe when politicians start throwing God into the mix.
