May regret this, but Christians have got to learn to think in categories, and there are 2 things that are both bad and often get conflated with one another...
1) Racism, defined in actual Biblical terms (racial pride or racial malice) and not defined in the progressive literally-everything-is-a-racism sense, is a sin and is wrong.
// Philippians 2:3, etc forbids conceit (for any reason)
// Titus 3:3, etc forbid "malice" (for any reason)
2) Governing leaders allowing mass migration to happen in a way that is bad for the citizens they were elected to prioritize and bad for the nation they were entrusted to protect (especially when it dilutes Christian influence on the country in a way that could tipping-point-doom-spiral that nation away from societal truth and goodness via creation of voting blocs)... is not good.
// In one of the least-P.C. verses in the Old Testament, Deuteronomy 28:43-44 describes mass migration leading to the ever-decreasing influence of the people of God in a nation as judgment on that nation:
“The foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower. They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the head, but you will be the tail.”
While there is obviously continuity/discontinuity between the Old and New Covenants, this does show a shape of God's judgment and there's no way to read that as anything other than negative.
APPLICATION:
If you look at many responses to this pic, some people are doing #1 and when confronted about it, acting like they're just doing #2. If you're calling people "jeets", don't pretend you're having a strictly policy discussion with no malice involved.
Christless "conservatism" would death-spiral into the abyss, just like the already-Christless progressivism has. The center cannot hold.
And often, people are doing #2 and being accused of doing #1.
There's a difference between a religion and a race, and there's nothing wrong (actually, in many cases there's a *lot* wise) with not wanting certain belief systems imported into your country en masse.
And (downstream of the Biblical differentiation in the roles of the individual, family, church, and state) there's not anything wrong with the citizens of a country opposing the leaders of a country allowing mass migration to happen in a way that hurts their culture, school systems, effects scholarship and job opportunity availability to citizens, etc.
Christians CAN have debates about immigration policy and it not be "racist" at all... and all Christians are commanded to love and pray for the redemption of all people from every tribe, tongue, nation, and language, nailing every type of "malice" in their hearts to the Cross.
Reverse the crowd… a group of whites drag a black female off her porch and beat her unconscious, filming it, laughing and cheering….
Our country would be on fire in every city
Every day you see these stories. The slaughter is endless. All the libs lose their minds if an illegal dies in ICE custody but have nothing to say about the Americans being killed by illegals every day.
We dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan, twice, and 80 years later they light up their cities in our colors as a show of how much they love us.
Meanwhile, we bailed half of Europe out, twice, and their governments take every last opportunity to signal how much they despise us.
BREAKING — new details about Friday's Austin bus stabbing.
Two passengers were sitting in the back of the #3 bus on South Lamar, having a Bible discussion. Rogerio Martinez, sitting across from them, apparently found this annoying.
"I'm tired of hearing your voice,” Martinez said.
Then he stood up with a kitchen knife. One was mid-conversation, turned away, when the first blade went into his back. He spun around and threw up his bare hands -- Martinez kept stabbing. Four times total.
A stranger named jumped in, pushed Martinez off, and wrestled him into a bus seat. Martinez stabbed him in the leg anyway. Bleeding, the man held him pinned to the seat until police arrived.
Officers found Martinez still on the bus, blood on his hands and shirt, surrounded by people he'd just put on the ground. He refused to talk.
One victim was transported to Dell Seton in critical condition. The other to South Austin Hospital. Surveillance footage captured all of it.
Martinez -- who was named as the suspect yesterday on this account before local news reported it today -- has spent decades cycling through Texas courtrooms: robbing people, strangling a family member, and most recently beating an HEB security guard in the forehead with her own flashlight.
Four aggravated robbery charges, a family strangulation, a felony assault knocked to a misdemeanor -- and every time, a system that found a reason to put him back on the street.
Two people are in the hospital now because prosecutors apparently never attempted to take him to court and face punishment for his crimes.
BREAKING - A CBS reporter in Austin, Texas, is being massively praised after refusing to follow a text message from his superior telling him not to focus on a massive crowd praising President Trump’s actions in Iran.
“They don’t want us to focus on this.”
“Well, I am.”
