[tulc]

Well...say what you will, there are at least two families who were in need that now have a safe place to live.

I agree that it is a blessing that two families are safe and have a place to lay their weary heads.

No argument there.

But it is important to read the context that the verse you are using before applying it. It can be easy to make the Scriptures say anything you want if you cherry-pick your verses, taking them out of context.

Ah, yes...the irony. The leader of the richest religious organization in the world, with cash, gold, property, and art holdings totaling in the hundreds of billions of dollars... telling everyone else they'd better be charitable or give up their tax exempt status.

When he sent out that message, did he do it from the car phone installed in the G-class Mercedes that he rolls around in?

Valid point.

I read them in context and I confirm them elsewhere,

I have way too much to post and all folks do is wrangle scripture and I am not having a problem with it.

The problem is that you don't allow your enemy to enter your country.

I'm sure Native American would agree. Whoops! too late for them. I'm sure they are no worse than the original Christians were.
