Why do Christians support immigration?

[Baptist Believer]

I doubt you'd let 20 of them live in your back yard. If you say its the Christian thing to do I say,

I wouldn't want them in my backyard. I would work to find shelter for them nearby. I would not mind having Muslims in my neighborhood - I think there are some already.

Matthew 19:21 Jesus said to him, If you will be perfect, go and sell that you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

Amen! The man that He said that to had an issue with his possessions and power.

I bet all that are lecturing this is the Christian thing to do, live a very comfortable life.

Fairly comfortable in terms of material possessions, but not nearly as good as most.

Computers are expensive.

Not really. You can get a cheap Windows notebook for a couple hundred dollars.

Sell all you own and go to minister to them in person.

Jesus has not told me to sell everything I own, but everything I own is available for the purpose of serving Jesus. I am a disciple of Jesus, and I minister to Muslims in person (yes, there are Muslims in Fort Worth), and I financially support those who minister to Muslims in the trouble spots of the Middle East.

Live with them and spread the gospel.

I do.

Oh, they will kill you I'm sure.

Hasn't happened yet. Hasn't happened to my friends who serve in those trouble spots. One day one of them may be killed - or even I might be killed - but, so what? We are called to be obedient even unto death. Death holds no power over me.

So how many such incidents are OK here in the US in your view CTB.
How many beheadings (which they have promised) are acceptable to you?

One does not have to search the internet for the ISIS declaration of war against America
How many Orlando's or San Bernadino's are acceptable?

Hank, please. You are more intelligent than you questions indicate.

 

[HankD]

Hank, please. You are more intelligent than you questions indicate.

If you mean that I know your answer, then yes.

None are acceptable.

If not...
Then answer my questions and enlighten me.

So you missed the big waves? I guess the rampant sexual attacks were fake?

I gently suggest you go to Europe and report to us from first hand knowledge. I have contact with many European friends, from the UK to eastern Russia. They report none of the things you suggest. I have had more than one friend ask, "Why are you Americans so afraid?" It is a good question.

Stop reading just the extreme right. Get a balanced view from. Reading from the right to the middle to the left. Otherwise you are only parroting others who have a definiate axe to grind.

I do mean it. You are too intelligent to ask such silly questions. I expect them from some on the BB, but not you.

One such event is too many.

Hahahahaha, you literally quoted my links to CNN and Wikipedia. Both are left leaning. You have your head buried in sand my friend. To make the claim there are no problems with Muslims in Europe is comical. Countries are leaving the European Union (British) and wanting to build fences (Hungary and more) Social systems are over taxed. Also I included a 60 min. Crew getting ran over and beat for being in a Muslim area. I also included a video of the French muslims beating native French for walking into muslim areas. A customer of mine is French, and she was like, that's all a lie. Yet even the French police have said it and there are videos on the net about it. You can pretend all is well but introducing large amounts of low skilled Muslims help no one. Remer all the French riots? Burning areas of town down....so peaceful and no problems!

I spent about half my time in Europe from 2005 to 2013 and never saw what you suggest.

That is probably because the mass refugee invasion did not start until 2014.

Then let's nip it in the bud.

It's a military law - Preemptive/Preventative war (which is almost always defined incorrectly).

Preemption
is not controversial; legally, morally,
or strategically. To preempt means to strike first (or
attempt to do so) in the face of an attack that is either
already underway or is very credibly imminent. The
decision for war has been taken by the enemy. The
victim or target state can try to disrupt the unfolding
assault, or may elect to receive the attack before
reacting.

I have been out and about today, shopped, bought gas and didn't seen any paralysis of business anywhere.

I live right on the Mexican border. Our county is 91% Hispanic. As far as I can tell nobody stayed home from work today. All commercial enterprises are fully manned.

Why would anyone be against immigration? I am against illegal immigration and unvetted immigrants.

Wish I could say the same for my area. Then again, CA is a different country.

 

[ChrisTheSaved]

Funny, if they stayed home nothing happened or they made no noticeable impact.

 

[TCassidy]

I encourage illegals to stay home too. Stay home in Mexico, or Guatemala, or Honduras, or Brazil, or wherever "home" is.

Tried to order delivery from an Italian restaurant and they told me no deliveries tonight and they have a limited menu due to immigrant workers walking out. I told the guy that all of them should be fired. I decided to drive and pick it up. No, they aren't that important.

 

[Lewis]

There were other similar notices going around some major cities.

 

[Alcott]

This whole country came to a screeching halt, didn't it?
