Many of you who feel threatened by refugees seeking asylum claim to be faithful Christians, in reading the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth this is difficult to believe.
The Final Judgment
“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, jthen he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him kwill be gathered lall the nations, and mhe will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates nthe sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Then othe King will say to pthose on his right, ‘Come, you qwho are blessed by my Father, rinherit sthe kingdom tprepared for you ufrom the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you wgave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you zvisited me, aI was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And bthe King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these dmy brothers, you did it to me.’
“Then he will say to those on his left, e‘Depart from me, you fcursed, into gthe eternal fire prepared for hthe devil and his angels. For iI was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, jyou did not do it to me.’ And these will go away kinto eternal punishment, but the righteous into leternal life.”

Mathew 15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
In case this needs explaining, the woman in question was NOT an Israelite, and Jesus said he was sent for the house of Israel. The caravaner's are not US citizens and do not come before us. Jesus said it is NOT good to cast the children's bread ( children being Israel) to the dogs, meaning Israel came first and foremost. The woman humbled herself to Jesus and did not say, well, I am going to stick right to you until I get what I want from you. Instead, she admitted that as a dog, she would settle for crumbs that fell from the master's table, NOT that she was entitled to treatment as though she were one of the children. So, comparing the US to Bible passages as though we represent the saved, as you have attempted to do, those who are saved and US citizens come first, as Trump puts America first. Jesus was here to take care of his own.....FIRST.
The passage you misspelled so badly, is Jesus talking to the saved, (his own), FIRST, and NOT to the lost and undone, which came AFTER his own.
Kevyn, if you were to study the Bible a little further, you might find that YOU are in that second group who will be cast away. If you realized this, that you are a sinner, and accepted Jesus as your personal savior, you eyes would be opened to the wrong and sinful ways of the left. In my opinion, abortion is the worst of them all. Psalms 103 says that God writes a person's name in the Book of Life at the time of conception, and killing that baby for convenience is murder. Study the Bible for the truth, not to back up you sinful party's ideology, which will NEVER succeed. No, I am NOT saying that conservatives are perfect, but they see a moral lifestyle as desirable. You are added to my prayer list of OPP members.
