The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born

Nothing latent about him. He just makes a halfhearted effort to keep it under wraps to keep from alienating that minority of his worshippers that still has some self respect.

As I wrote earlier this month, attacks on conservative Christians are certainly popular in some quarters of the Left, but now I also fear they’re populist — they can help animate a mass movement.

The combination of ignorance, fear, and hatred wielded against conservative Christians in progressive quarters is disturbing.
Just in this new year, we’ve seen two progressive senators aggressively question a Christian judicial nominee because of his membership in a mainstream Catholic service organization, we’ve seen a days-long attack on Karen Pence for teaching part-time at a Christian ministry, and we watched a stunning online feeding frenzy against students at a Catholic boys’ school based on a misleadingly clipped video segment of a much longer confrontation.

Moreover, we just concluded a Supreme Court term in which progressive governments attempted to erode the constitutional firewall against compelled speech by attempting to compel Christians to advance messages they found immoral.
California attempted to compel pro-life pregnancy centers to advertise free or low-cost abortions.
Colorado attempted to compel a man to custom-design a cake for a gay wedding.

And along with each of these events we’ve seen tens of thousands of words of commentary declaring Christians bigoted and hateful — often based on condescending claims of hypocrisy premised on sheer ignorance of Christian theology and tradition.

Who can forget the avatar of progressive populism himself, Bernie Sanders, in 2017 aggressively grilling a nominee for the Office of Management and Budget over his theological views on the differences between the Christian and Muslim faith?
He actually said that the nominee was “not someone who this country is supposed to be about.”
And of course Dianne Feinstein famously rebuked Trump judicial nominee Amy Coney Barrett by declaring that the “dogma lives loudly within you, and that’s a concern.”

Of course, it's got nothing to do with the ignorance, fear, and hatred that conservative Christians unload on everyone else.

The phoniness comes from mainly non-believers who start threads on, or interject into threads Scriptures as if they
know what they're talking about and judge the believers for not seeing it their way. Ninety-nine times out of a
hundred they begin the religious conversations which of course only stirs up strife. When we speak in replies,
we're called out as the ones at fault which the unbelievers use as an open door to further chastise, criticize, and
judge us. Satan is the accuser of the brethren.

"Then I heard a loud voice shouting across the heavens, “It has come at last— salvation and power and the Kingdom of our God,
and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down to earth— the one
who accuses them before our God day and night."
Rev. 12:10

I'm surprised that Trump doesn't wear a crucifix at his rallies. Though he's probably afraid that it would burn a hole right through him.

Your whole attitude is that of a fake Christian.

Matthew Henry taught that the prohibition against false witness concerns our own and our neighbor's good name. “Thou shalt not bear false witness” forbids: “1. Speaking falsely in any matter, lying, equivocating, and any way devising and designing to deceive our neighbor. 2. Speaking unjustly against our neighbor, to the prejudice of his reputation; and (which involves the guilty of both). 3. Bearing false witness against him, laying to his charge things that he knows not, either judicially, upon oath (by which the third commandment, and the sixth and eighth, as well as this, are broken), or extrajudicially, in common converse, slandering, backbiting, tale-bearing, aggravating what is done amiss and making it worse than it is, and any way endeavoring to raise our own reputation upon the ruin of our neighbor’s."

Wow! He's talking about just about every rightie here, with their constant lies about the left.

And you have never seen me defend such posts and I have "groaned" or responded negatively to them. But rhetoric on message boards does not equate to actual treatment of detainees in situations where the numbers overwhelm the facilities available to hold them.

Political rhetoric does not equate to Nazi supporters. If so, then those threads (current and past) that are thrilled about public disasters in the South because they are going to wipe out Trump supporters is equally as dehumanizing and similar to those same tactics of Nazi supporters for wanting those with political differences to die.

For some of those same posters who scoff at religion but then use the Bible to tell us how to treat "foreigners" while hoping Southerners will die is the worst kind of hypocrisy and shows disdain for their fellow humans while preaching we should love them.

Scoffing at religion and then using YOUR Bible to tell you something is simply pointing out that you don't actually appear to believe in your own religion. IOW, pointing out that you are scoffing at your own religion.

What is it with you and your insistence that disapproval or disagreement with something equals hate? It does not. I thoroughly disapprove of RC priests molesting children. It's despicable. But that doesn't mean that I hate the Church herself, or those who are Catholics.

He, quite obviously, hates anything and anyone that he disagrees with.

Not only do I despise child molesters (no matter who they are) I'd rather they be shot.

So why is it that you viciously name call Trump and everyone who supports Trump's policies?
If you recall, I never called Obama or his wife any names, but I did voice my disapproval
of his policies and his wife's wasting taxpayer money for her and her family vacations.

Trump is on track to spend more taxpayer money on his own vacations in just 4 years than the Obamas spent in 8. And not a word from his faithful cultists.

Not really. It means that a religious person does not have to adopt a particular political view just to be consistent with somebody else's interpretation of what his religion teaches. How a person treats foreigners has nothing to do with "speaking out" about government enforcement of immigration laws.

‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.'

Beautiful passage of Jesus speaking to believers. Not to unbelievers who do not have the inheritance.
Also, Christ was speaking about the truly needy, hungry, imprisoned and naked......not scammers.

Of course, to you they're all scammers.

IOW your political views take precedence over your religious "beliefs".

Have you ever heard of compassion? Compassion & mercy, not just the law..

There is nothing in the law, biblical or American jurisprudence that denies or forbids it..:thinking:

Matt 18:21-35
18:21 Then Peter came to him and said, “Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother who sins against me? As many as seven times?” 22 Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, I tell you, but seventy-seven times! 23 “For this reason, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves. 24 As he began settling his accounts, a man who owed ten thousand talents was brought to him. 25 Because he was not able to repay it, the lord ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, children, and whatever he possessed, and repayment to be made. 26 Then the slave threw himself to the ground before him, saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you everything.’ 27 The lord had compassion on that slave and released him, and forgave him the debt. 28 After he went out, that same slave found one of his fellow slaves who owed him one hundred silver coins. So he grabbed him by the throat and started to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ 29 Then his fellow slave threw himself down and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you.’ 30 But he refused. Instead, he went out and threw him in prison until he repaid the debt. 31 When his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were very upset and went and told their lord everything that had taken place. 32 Then his lord called the first slave and said to him, ‘Evil slave! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me! 33 Should you not have shown mercy to your fellow slave, just as I showed it to you?’ 34 And in anger his lord turned him over to the prison guards to torture him until he repaid all he owed. 35 So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if each of you does not forgive your brother from your heart.”
