Immigrants, & those fleeing from persecution, are not political ideas. They bear the image of a God who sees and knows those the world would deem invisible & ignorable.
Many are our brothers and sisters in Christ; the rest are our mission field, loved by God (Jn. 3:16).
Vladimir Putin ruthlessly persecutes those who preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, holds orphans hostage from waiting families for his political purposes, murders dissidents and journalists, attacks democratic institutions and nations.
Morality is not relative.
@JohnHaller1@greg_boyd I too have been struggling with this. When do we speak out about injustice and oppose oppressive regimes? When do we acknowledge that governments are what they are? Good things to process through, and I don't know if there is an easy answer.
