Protect your Pastor from error



Using the Bible to promote
open borders – rebuked.

During 2013, we have seen a huge jump in visibility of open-borders religious
leaders. You should expect that they are starting to make in-roads with those
in the pews, even if polls show most in the pews still oppose amnesty and
mass immigration.
Recently, a younger member of my church told me about a session of his weekly
Bible study class. He said there was close to a consensus in the group that the
passages they were studying that night seemed to say that a person being truly
obedient to God would need to support open borders.
For too long that kind of misinterpretation has been virtually the only message
from religious leaders talking about immigration. The open-borders religious
message has been a loud one, particularly because of the efforts of groups like
the Brookings Institute and the National Immigration Forum (with heavy funding
from secular globalist George Soros).
For those of you who regularly attend religious services, I suggest you do a couple
of print-outs of Jim's blog to offer to pastors or fellow parishioners who don't seem
to know that not every biblical expert agrees with the open-borders interpretations.
Why not keep a copy folded up and tucked into a Bible or other book that you carry
with you to religious services? You will especially want to protect your pastors from embarrasing themselves by blindly repeating bad information that they have heard
too many times without rebuttal.
Even you may be surprised at what a Bible scholar explains about
scriptural references to sanctuary cities and admonitions for how to treat foreigners.
Know that your activism this year has given a wonderful gift to the 20 million Americans 
who want a full-time job but can't find one and to the millions more with wages too 
low to keep their families out of poverty.
What most struggling American households need the most is a job or better wages 
for the job they have so they can help themselves and not be dependent on the taxpayers 
or on acts of personal charity.
If it were not for efforts to block comprehensive immigration reform bills in Congress, 
their chances for a job or for a raise would be greatly diminished by the flood of new 
foreign labor desired by both the greedy and the reckless of the land.
