[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Attempting to suggest Christianity requires open borders is absurd. The rule of law matters. [/quote]
Jesus was not a man's rule follower. He was a rule breaker, which is part of why the Pharisees hated Him.  He followed God's rules, not man's rules. Borders are man made.

And yes, Jesus would've been for open borders; He was a socialist.  He told people to take care of children, and to love your neighbor. That doesn't mean Joe from next door. It means people; love people. He said to welcome the foreigners.

Having stated that, I am not for open borders.  But, that doesn't mean that I want children to be separated from their parents or kids to drown on a perilous journey. How horrible must their lives be for the parents to risk their lives trying to cross that border.  I also don't malign them as being all rapists and murderers, or that they are poisoning the blood of this country.  You forget that this country is made up of immigrants, legal or otherwise.[/quote]

Jesus didn’t tell people to give their money to the government so the government could redistribute it.

Jesus had no political party and only cared about His Father’s kingdom.[/quote]

Bullshit. Jesus was part of the Jewish zealot movement. [/quote]

In the New Testament, one of the disciples of Jesus Christ was named Simon the Zealot (Matthew 10:4; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:15; Acts 1:13).

The Zealots were members of a first-century political movement among Judean Jews who sought to overthrow the occupying Roman government. The word zealot derives from the Greek zelotes, meaning “emulator or (zealous) follower.”

According to the Jewish historian Josephus, three main Jewish groups existed at the time of Christ—the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the Essenes. He also mentions a fourth group called the Zealots who were founded by Judas of Galilee and Zadok the Pharisee. Josephus notes that the Zealots “agree in all other things with the Pharisaic notions; but they have an inviolable attachment to liberty, and say that God is to be their only Ruler and Lord" (Antiquities 18.1.6).

Of importance in New Testament history, the Zealots led a rebellion when Rome introduced imperial cult worship. The Great Jewish Revolt began in A.D. 66. The Zealots successfully overtook Jerusalem, but their revolt was ultimately unsuccessful. In A.D. 70, the Romans destroyed the city of Jerusalem and the temple. A remnant of the Zealots then took refuge in Masada.

You are factually incorrect and an utter moron.[/quote]

Nothing you’ve written contradicts what I said. Judas was kicking around Galilee at about the time Jesus was born there.

Or maybe you believe that nonsense about Jesus being born in Bethlehem because of some Rube Goldberg Roman tax scheme that Luke & Matthew invented to shoe horn him into a King David prophecy. [/quote]

Zealots were violent. Jesus is the Prince of Peace.
