When you are stupid it makes you susceptible to saying stupid things. Think about the hate coming out of your nonreligious mouth. |
If they are doing so well, they can pay for their own housing and their own food. Until that happens, the system isn’t working. |

OP here. Who says I’m not Christian?
Fortunately, family members don’t know what’s in the Bible. They’re only attending church on Christmas. Their faith is more a cultural thing, as in God bless America. Not that it matters, but my family has actually housed refugees because my parents knew what it’s like |
You are a Christian asking for people to help you find Bible verses to “throw” at your own family members? While complaining about how they don’t know what’s in the Bible, but also claiming your family has housed refugees? Why don’t you know what’s in the Bible? You haven’t personally housed immigrants? Why not? Calling out other people but asking for Bible verses to be researched and presented to you to “throw” at your own loved ones seems the opposite of what Jesus would approve of. Also, why won’t you personally do what you are demanding that other people should do? You aren’t taking in and providing food or shelter for immigrants, but want to throw Bible verses (that others provide to you) at people who are not providing food or shelter to immigrants. Maybe just read the Bible and stop judging others. You say your family doesn’t know what is in the Bible, but either do you. |
Indeed. Perhaps she should read Matthew 7:15-20 |
You are missing the point of this huge body of work entirely. Everything has context. A single quote is generally meaningless and/or can be given lots of meanings by changing context. |

Too many people voted based on strong opinions they simply failed to research and actually understand.
Too many people immediately disbelieve all information coming from people who watch a different news channel. Too many people refused to believe the negative information coming from the people they claim to agree with, explaining away the bad stuff to justify voting based on the strong opinions they formed from reading click bait. You see it in voter interviews: I'm voting because X happened/I want X to happen. X didn't happen/won't happen. You're just one of those lying [insert other side]. Ok, well here is your guy saying it didn't/won't happen. He's not actually saying what he just said. That's not what he actually thinks. Are you voting for X because you agree with [insert bad policy]? That's not the policy. You have bad sources from your side. Here is your side saying this is the policy. They aren't really going to do that. I can't believe you fell for that. And your side said [insert completely unrelated innocuous point to deflect from the issue/hopefully start a fight]. |

OP will love this one on male/female:
Jesus answers, “For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others, and there are eunuchs who had made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can” (Matthew 19:12). |
There are no Bible passages pertaining to how the government deals with illegal immigrants. There are plenty that deal with how individuals should deal with the less fortunate, including refugees and asylum seekers. Many have already been cited. |
They don't care. Find a better hobby, like caring for the downtrodden, instead of fighting with people who don't. |
No it's not "very different" people are fleeing countries because they don't feel safe. They seek asylum, which is legal. The democratic president had a conservative Republican create a bill to stop all of that but it would not pass because if we fixed the immigration issue you might not vote for T ... so you were duped. |
We all agree ... they want to work, but you won't give them a work visa. They want to pay their own bills but you won't let them work. Also, you couldn't afford food without them farming them, picking them and making cheap food available... even your Whole Food organic food, picked by an immigrant. |
We can't avoid our family every holiday so... |
You don't need bible quotes. They won't listen anyway, so just eat pie, drink wine, and ignore them, feign a stomach virus and go home at the earliest possible moment. |
