While it's perfectly legitimate for Christians to take different views on regular migration, I think the Bible is very clear about how we should treat refugees. We are taught to love our neighbour and ask ourselves how would we like to be treated if we were in their shoes.

Well said , Tim. I am a fellow Christian & I totally agree with you, & anyone who says they are a Christian and demonises refugees has got it wrong. 'Treat others as you would be treated' is something people of all faiths & no faith at all can agree is a good thing for everyone.

I was watching this. I am neither a bible believer nor non believer. But your explanation was considerate, practical and empathetic. Articulately put over but more importantly great reasoning. Well Done mate 👏👏👏

@WhitesidePaula "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you made me welcome, lacking clothes and you clothed me, sick and you visited me, in prison and you came to see me." Matthew 25:35-36

Thank you Tim

Brilliant explanation Tim. You seem to be a man of honour and stand for what you believe, unlike some of your other ‘Christian’ colleagues in the house.

Talking about my shoes I’d quite like not to be made a stranger in my own land thanks. Appeasement of criminal gangs and terrorists calling themselves refugees is nothing short of cowardice.

Pretty clear the bible didn't like the degeneracy the current Church of England promotes. And also crusades.

Rev Daniel French2 years ago

Though the Old Testament invites a godly generous welcome to migrants it also stresses a strict conformity to the Jewish Law. When Israel takes on other religions this is seen as disobedience . It’s come in, but also abandon your gods, obey God’s Laws.

Gildas2 years ago

The language of neighbour isn't an abstract all-encompassing concept but expressive of those we encounter when out and about. It's an embodied term, to talk about it in such a disembodied way does the term a disservice and evacuates it of any substantive meaning.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas says Americans need to take back their country before we lose it “I think if we don't stand up and take ownership of our country and take responsible for it, we are slowly letting others control how we think and what we think — The constitution — How many people have read it? — I try to make the point, is government by consent. That means we take ownership. It's our consent and it's our country” We are not governed. We are ruled and stolen from

I have firm parameters around how I use tools like Grok because of a big concern I have about what we’re giving up when we outsource our creativity and critical thinking to AI. I think we’re surrendering part of what it means to be made in God’s image when we trade our reason for convenience. AI isn’t always evil, but I think we have to be very careful about the power we give it. These are my 5 reasons for why Christians should be restrictive about our reliance on AI, both for ourselves and our kids:

AWFL climate doomers, hoping to shake their reputation as joyless scolds, are trying to bring "joy" to their doomsaying Spoiler alert: It's a huge cringe-fest. "If we don't center joy now, here in the process of bringing about this more vibrant, livable future, I think we actually pattern ourselves into something that isn't what we want." "The message of 'we have to fix the climate' doesn't resonate. It's more about: how do we love each other, how do we come to this place of well-being, how do we care about the well-being of ourselves, of our community, and our environment. And I think that that is joyful... There is love in this process." "If we want people to come off the sidelines and into the work, it's gotta feel good in some way. It can't be just about finger-wagging and telling people what they've done wrong if they want to be good and right and better. We have to have more openness. We have to throw a better party."

We must speak with POWER! The humdrum casualness of our speech leaks into how we carry ourselves and thus how this world unfolds What we say and how we say it is a very powerful influence on ourselves and the world around us Because of this, I think we should put more effort and energy into our day to day words What swaps like these can you think of?

This is the most brazenly corrupt White House in the history of the country. But for Democrats to be credible on this issue, we need to be clear about how we would fix our broken democracy is we are given power again.

“We do not want to be rich like Americans. Look how greedy they are, even trying to invade their friends. We would not sell ourselves. We know what happened to Indigenous people in Alaska and Native Americans. Their land was taken, and they were not treated well.” — Greenlandic politician Tillie Martinussen

We cannot allow Russian bombers to be better protected than Ukrainian civilians are. Let's ask ourselves if we are being honest about how much we actually support Ukraine.

Whites have been conditioned to feel ashamed about our past and who we are. What if we took the chains off of ourselves to do what is best for us, to be proud of ourselves and of who we are?

“For Rwanda, with our history and this world we live in, we must understand how it operates. There is no reason why we should lack the strength, the determination, or the knowledge about what we need to do, how we need to do it, and how to lift ourselves from where we are to where we want to be. None. That determination, that grit, that ability I spoke of, it’s within us. But if you choose not to use it, you will become like someone whose life is determined by someone else.” President Kagame | 17th Annual Unity Club Forum.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to Gulf countries: If they have the right to take all necessary measures to protect their facilities, I think we are even. In fact, we have even more right to take all necessary measures to defend ourselves and protect our people. And this is exactly what we are doing. Know this: this is not our war. This is not our choice. This war was imposed on us. We are under aggression and we are defending ourselves. They cannot accuse us for things that happen on the other side. They should accuse those who started this war, and they should be held responsible for any damage inside Iran and in the region, because everything started with the United States and Israel.

I Love this reaction! I wish more White people would act and think this way about the White Race and how amazing Our Ancestors were and how we should all carry on in their Legacies instead of being ashamed and letting Our non-white enemies destroy what Our Ancestors sweated and worked so hard for the next White Generations to take over their Legacies. We need to honour their Legacies, and not let it get destroyed by the non-white invaders...
