Native-born Texas Christian. Proud follower of Jesus. Knows ‘Christian’ Nationalism is idolatry and that our president is going to hell. Matthew 25:31-46
@bennyjohnson@HarmeetKDhillon The mandate to invite in immigrants and to treat them as the native born citizen is firmly established. Those of us who are Christians who actually read the Gospels know that Jesus condemns those who oppress immigrants to “eternal damnation.” (Mt 25:31-46) #immigration
@LarryGreer20@onegoldentweets@gtconway3d Boy, grandpa, I thought you were old enough to know what a fascist looks like. Granted our fascists are also dumb, not like the ones my antifascist uncle died fighting against in the Pacific in 1945. Have you taken Trump’s dementia screening test yet?
@jokendaved@gtconway3d I really appreciate all these “hypermasculine men” who tan their nonfunctional genitals celebrating a weak president who can barely walk and talk as a “strong father figure.” I remember the good old days when Texas men weren’t so fragile and compliant.
@rick_morton @RebekahRutt @philvischer Direct defense spending: $820 billion. US AID spending also includes anti-terrorism and defense related spending. 2017 tax breaks for wealthy: more than 1 trillion over ten years.
@rick_morton@ArcusApis@philvischer Have you not read the Hebrew prophets Jesus came to fulfill? They commanded the kings, the governments of their day, to act when it comes to those living in poverty, among the more than 2000 passages in the Bible regarding the poor. This is more than individual charity.
@rick_morton@philvischer Are you kidding? We’re borrowing money to cover the tax cuts for the wealthy and the bloated military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned about, not to feed the hungry and care for the sick. Immigrants contribute to the economy much more than they receive.
@rick_morton@SusanKBradford@philvischer These are Republican talking points. Our problem is not the relatively small cost of fulfilling biblical mandates but the waste and fraud of military contracts combined with serving wealth and the wealthy and corporations through the tax system.
@willchamberlain@JoshDaws I do hope that Christians read Matthew 25:31-46 and Leviticus 19:34 and realize that mass deportations equals ‘eternal damnation’ for individuals AND nations. Only the legal ones? Not in the Bible; i.e., no off ramp to the eternal flame.
@JoshDaws@GinnaCross All Christians are victims of the abortion scam of the late 1970s when Evangelical leaders ditched Jesus for power in the GOP. Jesus said nothing about abortion, but condemned oppression of immigrants. The Bible is not against abortion. Texas https://t.co/10gOZro5Ol
