I am seeing a lot of people who presumably claim to be saved by the blood who are scouring their Bible to justify their fears and prejudice instead of looking into the eyes of a refugee who has nothing but the clothes on her back.
Sad.
Thread didn't go your way eh? Sad.
The fact is, you can't take a massively complex problem and try to solve it by guilting people into agreeing with you, with a simple picture.
How about I throw up some pictures of the victims in Germany and France? There is no undo button in real life.
Apparently some posters hold different views from prominent Christian leaders from a cross section of different denominations:
. . if Mr. Trump had hoped for Christian leaders to break out in cheers, that is, for the most part, not what he has heard so far. A broad array of clergy members has strongly denounced Mr. Trump’s order as discriminatory, misguided and inhumane. Outrage has also come from some of the evangelical, Roman Catholic and mainline Protestant leaders who represent the churches most active in trying to aid persecuted Christians. (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/29/us/christian-leaders-denounce-trumps-plan-to-favor-christian-immigrants.html?_r=0)
No surprise there. Those religious organizations receive significant funding from the federal guv'mint for resettling and support of immigrants/refugees, and they stand to lose at least some of that money if the US gets a handle of who and how many immigrants come into the country.
So "Christian charity" indeed-with its hands deep into the pockets of the taxpayer to boot. Seems to me looking at that cash cow drying up is the real reason for their faux moral outrage.
Would Jesus advise us to cross other nations borders to protect our oil interests using violence and terrorism?
Pine to Vine has a valid point but I have been asking your question for years with no answer. Did Pine to Vine complain about this the last 8 years? I don't know but I do know for a fact there were very few us complaining especially compared to the numbers complaining now.
Would Jesus advise us to cross other nations borders to protect our oil interests using violence and terrorism? Treat the cause don't react to symptoms.
Bingo. Now that we've broken it, however, we need to clean up our mess.
You're not making sense. I didn't have "a way." I asked a question it went the way it went.
People are not agreeing with you and your premise is naive and full of holes.
If we're going to use images to manipulate people's emotions in the name of JC, then what would Jesus say to this little boy, who no longer has a head attached to his body?

Why don't Liberals ever argue the Koran with Muslims? I've never seen a Liberal say to a Saudi "Would Muhammad not let any refugees in?" It's strange how Liberals constantly mock Christianity and then 30 seconds latter say people should do something because Jesus allegedly would. I'm agnostic now but was raised a fundamentalist Christian and the Bible says to respect the laws of the land and makes a distinction between "true widows" - those who really need help - and people who want a free ride. The whole "Jesus was a refugee" crowd forgot to mention that Jesus' parents showed respect the laws.
The thread has a false premise that has been debunked: that all refugees are starving, innocent, hate terrorism, and would never hurt a fly. I guess the Sweden Facebook Live gang rape, German mass sexual assaults, Bataclan, etc never happened. Some Muslim refugees are great people who cause no problems and are grateful for help, others enter the West solely to cause problems.
