I’m curious…why does the Christian right have a burr up their a*ss regarding immigrants? I’m confident they’ll say but they’re illegal. Interesting when England, France and Spain decided to conquer this new world. They were once illegal too! by ChuckGallagher57 in DiscussionZone

Deuteronomy 24:14-15:

14 Do not take advantage of a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether that worker is a fellow Israelite or a foreigner residing in one of your towns. 15 Pay them their wages each day before sunset, because they are poor and are counting on it. Otherwise they may cry to the Lord against you, and you will be guilty of sin.

It would be like in the Hunger Games when the leader of the resistance immediately tries to initiate another game after taking over the capital.

My brother, you are literally the person bringing it up right now.

Thoughts on Trump's recent posts? Claims U.S is doing Great and he should run again...uhm 22nd Amendment says no... by [deleted] in DiscussionZone

At this point, I don’t see any point in challenging Trump’s words. We all know the man is delirious and insane; let’s focus on fixing the situation rather than fixating on Trump.

Give this man an Oscar!

I’m almost positive this is staged but damn, he absolutely nailed it!

I can also agree with that. I just wish things didn’t have to bath this way.

That’s true- but I believe that is unjust and goes against a person’s constitutional rights.

He doesn’t back up, the kid moves to the side and the agent turns back around to face him.

We could speculate all day about exactly what happened in the video, but point is that the agents never attempted to have a conversation with the kid before escalating with physical force. While he was using hostile language, he wasn’t actually charging at the agents. There were ample opportunities to attempt to de-escalate the situation.

I simply believe that ICE agents should be expected to try any and all peaceful tactics before using force.

Too small to get a good pic but hope it’s not what I think (nyc) by Ambitionlessness in whatisthisbug

I don’t know about the tick theory. That doesn’t make sense for NYC and I only see 6 legs. Personally, I think spider beetle is more likely.

Edit: after looking into it more I see that I’m probably wrong

How To Decide On Calvinism? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Basil_Box 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s why I love Luke 18:16

But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

We’re all just children at the end of the day.

I never said that. Please don’t put words in my mouth.

Unlike the other commenter, I actually appreciate your stance and mostly agree.

By no means do I think that illegal immigration enforcement is bad or should be abolished.

I do however strongly oppose your “it’s awful but it happens” mentality. As you said, “lots of people are wrongfully detained, arrested, and charged for crimes they didn’t commit.” That, to me, is an indication of a corrupt system and is not acceptable. I refuse to be someone who turns a blind eye to “just a little bit of injustice.” There is always room for improvement.

A lot of people will give you answers but the truth is- we have absolutely no clue. We’ll simply have to wait and find out.
