Zone1 " I was a stranger, and ye took me in:" What does this mean to you ?

[Blues Man]

Depends if I think he's a danger to us. IOW, I apply common sense to the situation. If he's bleeding from a wild animal attack, for one example, I would certainly not make him stay out in the snow.

That's not what you said. You said if he is in need you should take him in.

But you wouldn't. Everyone knows you wouldn't. No one would.

Speak for yourself.

Who cares who pays?

The person who ends up with the bill, Sherlock.

Did you forget your 20-year white wing talking point?

WTF is a “white wing” talking point? Racist much?

"We don't need universal health insurance, because anyone can get medical treatment, if they need it."

I never said that. I believe Marxist wealth redistribution is theft, in the sheep’s clothing of compassion, and universal health insurance is just that. No one owes you care just because you’re too incompetent to pay for it.

Reminded.

Schooled.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Sounds like the opening scene of many a murder mystery.

Which is even better if you view it in smellorama.

Is it something that you support or do you have a different belief ?

If all one did was to endorse acts of kindness and charity but never performed acts of kindness and and charity, then no, it's not Christian, it's lip service.

 

[Blaster]

What does it have to do with the subject ?

I thought you were an atheist.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Your op clearly placed your thread within the subject of immigration policy. Muslims are the major portion of your immigrants.


Islam is the only Theocracy with any chance of ruling over the U.K., so it is entirely relevant.

The majority of our immigrants are Ukranian. I am happy to welcome them.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

It's what you can expect from this member.
Nothing like putting up an obvious troll thread in Zone 1 - just so you can be protected from being called out.
If you are going to have a Zone 1, then the created threads need to show validity.
It is super obvious this thread is intellectually dishonest, crafted to attempt to use one's belief against them to make a strawman argument.

Why is the question difficult for you ?

What does this mean to you as a Christian ? Is it something that you support or do you have a different belief ? Are the scriptures wrong ?

It means atheists think they’re clever when they quote Scripture

 

[Tommy Tainant]

Yep. As usual, it's nothing but a "gotcha" thread.

The thought that Jesus would order people to allow their entire culture to be taken over is absolutely ridiculous.

So what does it mean to you ?

 

[Blaster]

Tommy Boy is pretending to be a Christian.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

What does it mean to you then Frank ? Lots of avoiding the subhect going on.

It means kindness to strangers does not mean you throw your door open to anyone

Luke 11:21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe.

That wasnt difficult old fella.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Be well, Tommy

 

[Dogmaphobe]

So what does it mean to you ?

It has nothing whatsoever with ushering in hoards from one culture seeking to impose their own values on those who took them in as unwisely as they did. My opinion does not matter.

You framed this as an immigration issue, after all.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Why is the question difficult for you ?

Did I seem to have difficulty ripping apart your obvious attempt to be witty?
Well, now that I think about it, yes, getting things wrong is normal for you.
You prove it everyday here.

Another Biblical Point: “I tell you the truth, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold, rather than going through the gate, must surely be a thief and a robber."

Anyone who legally enters a country qualifies as a stranger, new to the area. Illegal entry means that person is a robber and a thief--and, 'alien' not 'stranger', better describes that person.

When a new student enrolls in school, he is welcomed into the classroom. However, no one can just walk in and join a class without enrolling.

If someone new is invited to a social event, people do welcome that stranger, but people off the street rushing a wedding reception to get to the cake and other food are thieves and robbers. Calling them a "stranger" and then scolding the bride and groom for not welcoming them is not what Jesus meant. Recall Jesus said people should also be attired properly. In the case of immigrants, this means proper admission and a means of support.

It means "strangers" asked to be let in. They didn't thieve their way into your home and demand housing, food, and all the rights of family.

All the difference in the world.
