Immigration

love thy neighbour

Mis using scripture is satanic

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" (Leviticus 19:18). In this verse the term "neighbor"is defined by the expression, "the children of my people." Here, and generally in the Old Testament, the term implies more than mere proximity; it means one related by the bond of nationality, a fellow-countryman, compatriot.

If the xenophobes had their way the same things would happen over here.

I’m curious. How is it that if a person is all for legal immigration and sees the benefits of it, but is against illegal immigration because it goes against the laws of our country and is a real drag on our country, is a xenophobe? Please explain because I don’t understand the rationale. Help me understand.

There’s no rationale, it’s gaslighting.

Barber is one of those folks for which the leftist religion always takes priority over the Christian religion. So whenever the two are in conflict he'll filter the Christian religion through a leftist religious lens.

There's nothing here that runs contrary to what I said. You yourself aren't a progressive. You're for deeply leftist illiberalism.

Is the plight of a progressive to eventually become a leftist?

Nope. Progressives are what are commonly referred to as "normies". I consider myself a progressive in many ways. I believe in things like environmental protection, that healthcare is a human right (transing the kids is not healthcare), gay/lesbian rights and absolute free speech. Used to also support public education and publicly-funded science but those are more in the leftist camp these days due to the leftist takeover of both.

I think many liberals started using the progressive tag to try to avoid negative connotations of how far left liberals were becoming.
