What the Bible says about Alien residents

[Capn Sunshine]

Leviticus 19:33-34 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society

33 " 'When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him. 34 The alien living with you must be treated as one of your native-born. Love him as yourself, for you were aliens in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

Brought to you by the same book Christians cite (Leviticus) that says being gay is an abomination.

Always glad to help.

it says in Caucasians 6:66 that I must smite all the brown-skinned peoples and take their lands and asses and wimmin! Manifest Destiny!

Why do you hate 'Murika? Jeebus-Gawd was an English-speaking Aryan who hated dark people. Why don't you believe the Bobble is the Word of Jeebus Gawd?

15. What the Bible says about Giants

Genesis 6:1-7

1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

While the right-wing Christofascists are misfocused on resident aliens, the Giants run free!

16. I also gotta always mention the line in Leviticus

I don't remember which verse, but I believe it's as follows:
Thou shalt not cut the hair on the side of thy head, nor shave thy beard, for it is an abomination.

Funny how that's the exact same word they use to describe homosexuality, and yet all the 'christians' preaching against homosexuality are clean-cut, short haired people.

I think the question of Jesus' opinion can be answered clearly:

Matthew 25:31-46.
"But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will tell those on his right hand, 'Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in; naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to me.'
"Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink? When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you? When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'
"The King will answer them, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.' Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you didn't give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink; I was a stranger, and you didn't take me in; naked, and you didn't clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn't visit me.'
"Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't help you?'
"Then he will answer them, saying, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you didn't do it to one of the least of these, you didn't do it to me.' These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

"I wanted to work to give my family a future, and you made me a criminal."

By the way, the commandment that Jesus rated as the second most important, Love thy Neighbor, is found in the same book. Leviticus seems to be the pick, choose and ignore book of the Bible.

The Liberal response to "Why do you hate America?" should be "Why do you hate Jesus?"
All you have to do is remember Matthew 25, it makes a clear statement for compassion.

It is time for compassion to trump fear. All we have to do is insist on fair wages, treatment and benefits to *ALL* workers. Anything less encourages businesses to prosper through unfair, unequal and unethical practice. To make a destitute man a criminal, encourages and protects sweat shop industry. This in turn will destroy the value of labor. To see things clearly look first with compassion.

20. Great find.

But it doesn't matter reichwing fundies pick and choose what they want to follow from the good book.
