Romans 13:1-7
Yes. Jesus' mission was not to overthrow any political systems, but to work within those systems for transformational change. Even if immigration policies violates God's word, Christians are expected to endure the punishments for the earthly laws they violate.
I appreciate that idea. But I disagree. Jesus mission had 0 to do with government.
Ironic statement considering it was the Roman government who had Jesus crucified.
Well there was that little King thingy.
Nonsense. Cities used to build walls for protection, after the Muslims attacked in the 800s the Vatican built a wall. Today they have three huge entrances that are always open to the public. You just walk right in, it's been that way for a long, long time. Although they are not part of the European Union and are a foreign country the truth is that no one is even at the entrances to check your ID. If you wish to enter St. Peter's Basilica, because of vandalism and terrorism you must pass through a metal detector. People also must wear respectable clothing to enter St. Peter's Basilica.As for keeping people out - The Catholic Church has it down to a science -
Their private empire (Vatican City - sovereign land) is surrounded by four and five story walls and armed guards.
That's a good idea. Maybe Biden should have all of the terrorists, that he is letting in, go through a metal detector first.
How many immigrants have they received, housed and provided for in the last four years?
The Vatican is less than one square miles in total area. They get around 5 million visitors a year. Many Catholics go to the Basilica of St. Peter, the largest church in the world, to worship. Besides that space, museums are also on the property, open to the public and free on weekends. The Vatican has showers for those who are homeless except on Wednesdays when the pope holds a general audience. The total available area is quite small. Tell me, how many immigrants have you received, housed, and provided for in the last four years?
As many as you have.
