Leviticus 19:33-34

“‘When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. 34 The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God."

It doesn't apply to the USA. You're not "properly dividing" the scriptures.

and call him anointed by God.

Their bible is an unread and unheeded weapon that they wave around on camera occasionally.

They use it to oppress the worker, the poor, the sick, the needy, and the stranger in the land.

recognize it as the word of God, although they claim the entire Bible is inerrant.

that few evangelicals and fundies actually read their bible. They have it filtered, modified and twisted by their leaders every Sunday morning, Sunday evening and Wednesday night. It's so much easier to be told what to think than to actual read, comprehend and think for one's self.

Trumpalonians 19:33-34

33 “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, mistreat and disparage them for they are unkempt and possessed of ill will. 34 The foreigner residing among you must be closely watched and their behavior documented. Do not love them as yourself nor at all, for they are unwelcome in this land. Hear me now and follow my decree for I am Trump your Lord and Savior.”

For anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.


Best to not consider that book an authority on anything.

30. They don't believe in the Old Testament

Except the bits they like.

SERIOUSLY, if I have been told once by these nuts, I've been told 100 times that the Old Testament no longer applies since Jesus came and died for our sins.. That is what they think.

I always tell them I don't believe in parts of the bible here and there, that the bible is the bible. Then they got really annoying and I told a bunch of them I am a Deist. They think that means I worship the Devil and have shut their mouths since.
