00:00:00.000 How are Christians being exploited on the issue of immigration?
00:00:03.280 First, people often weaponized the Old Testament commands about loving the foreigner,
00:00:06.940 but those passages were never meant to be a blank check for mass immigration.
00:00:10.820 In Israel, foreigners were rare, recognizable, and expected to assimilate to the customs and
00:00:14.840 religion of God's people. They were not permitted to enter in such numbers that could overtake the 0.99
00:00:19.700 existing population, replace the culture, or import paganism. Second, they exploit Christian 0.96
00:00:24.840 compassion by saying, these people are just poor and broken, they just want a better life.
00:00:29.680 Of course, they want a better life.
00:00:31.120 But wanting something requires someone else to give it to you.
00:00:34.040 A pickpocket wants better stuff.
00:00:35.640 A car thief wants better cars. 0.65
00:00:37.220 Plenty of people probably want your house and your five-acre parcel.
00:00:40.740 So why don't you give it to them?
00:00:42.160 Because it's not theirs.
00:00:43.480 It's yours and it's your children's. 0.98
00:00:45.480 Even the preamble of our Constitution assumes this.
00:00:47.640 It explicitly says America was founded to, quote,
00:00:50.980 secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and to our posterity.
00:00:55.460 That is, this nation is for Americans and for our children.
00:00:58.480 God does not expect us to squander our children's inheritance through guilt-driven immigration
00:01:02.760 policies that dissolve borders and collapse our historic Christian and European identity.
00:01:07.840 Third, they claim that because the kingdom of God includes people from every tribe,
00:01:11.840 nation, and tongue, immigration is the best representation of that.
00:01:15.520 No, it's not.
00:01:16.540 Christ did not tell us to blend the nations.
00:01:18.900 He told us to make the nations Christian.
00:01:20.620 And Revelation even shows that at the end of the world, nations still exist.
00:01:24.680 We are not heading towards some globalist, borderless, beige humanity.
00:01:29.400 Each nation has a particular glory.
00:01:31.560 Its landscape, its own language, foods, culture, and even distinct skin, hair, and eye colors
00:01:37.660 shaped by its geographic location.
00:01:40.260 God's plan is a Christian mosaic, not a globalist melting pot.
