anybody that proves Henry a fool will be accused of being that which he rails against.
whatever position he takes is usually bereft of any critical thinking. so when you debate his arugument, ; AHA! you must be...a democrat, or a republican...or a magat...a Christian...etc., ad nauseum
then he has his hissy fit and changes his identity

You have yet to explain how someone that supports Trump can possibly be a Christian. Trump doesn't even try to exhibit decent human morality, compassion or empathy. If you weren't a faux Christian and MAGAT into the bargain you wouldn't work so hard trying to justify him and your fellow MAGATS. By the way how would Paul and Barnabas get by in our present day society now that DEI has been discarded?

Mistaking me for a Christian is unmistakable proof that you have no idea what a Christian is, but the absence of facts, knowledge or information has yet to stop you from rendering an opinion. In fact, the creation of this inaccurate post shines as a beacon to your willingness to spotlight your ignorance.
Jesus said that the second most important commandment given by God was to love our neighbors as much as we love ourselves. Jesus also gave His followers a higher standard to follow: "Just as I have loved you, you should love one another" (John 13:34.) The unanswered question for Christians is how to best demonstrate that love.
The position that "love" is tolerant of illegal behavior is both perverse and incorrect. Though I was accused of "cherry picking" Bible verses earlier, it remained undisputed that those verses direct Christians to follow the established laws of society (see Romans 13, 1 Peter 2, and Titus 3.) The Apostle John wrote that breaking the law is sin (1 John 3:4.) Only a person without a modicum of understanding of the Christian faith would advocate that Christlike behavior leads to sin.
Since the original poster of this thread has decided to narrow the focus to immigration, it must be pointed out that Christ has announced a strict immigration policy into Heaven. You can read it in John chapter 14. If Christ's love for humanity includes an immigration policy, does it not stand to reason that Christians who are attempting to mirror that love would also insist on an immigration policy?
The Apostle Paul, in his first letter to Timothy, points out that those who fail to care for their own families and households have denied the faith and are worse than unbelievers (chapter 5.) Taken to a reasonable next level a Christian might conclude that a civil government who is not enforcing exisiting laws is comparativly neglectful.
Is it possible to conclude that, given the available choices in the most recent US Presidential election, Christians made the choice most in line with their beliefs?
If I attended a Christian Church, I would hope that the leader would be versed in the Bible well enough to be able to quote a verse or two in support of her or his publicly stated position. That would place them in a better position than the original poster.

Typical of all faux Christians Mistress cherry picks her way through the Bible and selects the passages that can be misapplied to justify her claim to be a Christian. She infers that it doesn't matter how we behave towards others as long as we keep our sights on the spiritual aspect of life. Is labeling the majority of illegal immigrants as drug dealers, rapists, murderers and thieves, rather than acknowledging the fact that most illegals are trying to escape a lifetime of poverty and or oppression Christian behavior? In the New Testament doesn't Jesus instruct us to love our neighbors as ourselves. Mistress is a dyed in the wool faux Christian MAGAT and I've also no doubt her preacher also first that bill!

Once again, the lack of Biblical references shows your lack of understanding and comprehension about a subject you apparently feel dogmatically about. Your opinion of who can be a Christian combined with your unsolicited opinion of whom a Christian should or should not support politically stand in stark contrast to the teachings of Christ and of the Apostles.
In Matthew chapter 20 you can read that Jesus made a clear distinction between His kingdom and those on earth (verses 25-28.) In the 22nd chapter of the same book, Jesus again made that distinction and clearly stated that civil affairs (government) and religious affairs are not to intermingled (verses 17 to 21.)
Both the Apostle Peter and the Apostle Paul wrote that earthy authority is given by God. In the first seven verses of the 13th chapter of Romans you can read Paul's advice. In the 2nd chapter of 1 Timothy you can read that Paul encouraged Timothy to pray for Kings and others in high places in order to have a quiet personal life. Similar advice can be found in the 2nd chapter of 1 Peter, if you care to read it.
A lot of people, including many who are not well acquainted with the Bible but wish they were, can tell you that Jesus warned us not to judge one another in the 7th Chapter of Matthew. However, in John we find that Jesus tells His followers to not judge by appearances and judge correctly (John 7:24.)
Without Biblical support for your opinions you are, sadly, what the Apostle Paul called a "noisy gong or a clanging cymbal."

Diversion. distraction and evasion so typical. Christ's teachings were aimed at all aspects of our lives, worldly as well as spiritual. The fact that a MAGAT professes to be a Christian while deliberately flying in the face of those teachings disqualifies them from being Christians.

What silly nonsense led you to believe that Christians would demean the words of Christ by comparing them to the ramblings of an earthly politician? To argue that Christians felt that the last US Presidential election was a reinvention of their religious beliefs shows an inherent misunderstanding of both Christianity and Christians. Do you postulate that other religious adherents based their votes on the candidate who most reminded them of their deity of choosing?
The passage that you twice recommended Christians read (Matthew Chapters 5 to 7) says very little about civil government. It might be argued that Matthew, Chapter Five verse Five makes reference to inheriting the earth and is therefore civil in nature. But, since Christians, in the main, believe that Heaven is a place beyond earth I would discount a Christians desire to inherit the earth.
Perhaps a closer reading of "The Sermon on the Mount" will impress upon you that Christ was speaking to individuals and advising them how to live their personal lives. Despite strict search of the recommended reading material, I was unable to find any instruction on how to build an earthly civil government. SInce all of the things that Christ taught in the "Sermon on the Mount" were individual in nature. It might be that Christians felt that another four years President Trump's administration would allow them to apply those tenets better than an administration by any of the other candidates no matter his flaws.
Since the founding of the United States of America we have rejected a union between our personal religious beliefs and our civil government. Am I the only person in this discussion who finds it bewildering that our friend "Consul" is rejecting that long held tradition?
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the definition of "Mistress" provided at 10:29am today is, in fact, not the "usual" one. It is the fourth most usual definition. (See https://www.merriam-webster...y/mistress (accessed 03-12-2025).)

Mistress is a closet MAGAT and like all MAGATS when she is unable to refute a post that exposes the MAGATS for what they really represent see tries to be clever and evasive. And like all good MAGATS she's not all that good at being evasive, and like all good MAGATS clever ain't her forte.

Well DB how is Trump not a Putin asset? I guess this peace deal is being forced on Putin and if it is maybe Putin just invaded Ukraine at the direction of Trump.

The foundation of Christianity is the New Testament. Rather than tax your attention span too much I would recommend you read just one portion: The Gospel according to Sr. Matthew chapters 5 thru 7. Then compare it to Trumps words and actions over the last ten years. And if you prefer to go to the Old Testament: "Thou shalt not bear false witness" is good for starters. Charity, empathy and compassion are things that are borne out in Christ's teachings, Trump is severely lacking in all three. Now suppose you quit dancing and list his many virtues.

I take it by the lack of any substantial response the original poster is either too slothful or uninformed to provide any Biblical basis for the allegations recorded in the first post.
I, for one, find it ironic when one person's virulence inspires them to make unsupported assumptions.
