Really? The revolutionary who turned over tables in The Temple, the one who performed miracles or worked on the Sabbath wouldn't break the law?
Breaking the law was kind of His thing. In fact He didn't just walk on water, He J-Walked on water. That's where the J in J-Walking comes from as Jon Stewart said.
The rest of the hate centered around shouts of "Go home." Or. "Go back to Mexico."
In fact these immigrants are refugees, according to the U.N., from Guatemala and parts of El Salvador-completely different countries from Mexico.
I find it odd the conservatives greeting refugees with contempt, disdain and outright hatered consider unborn children as divinely protected people but brown refugee children as less than deserving of the same consideration.
How do these anti-immigration conservatives think this is Christian behavior.
What would Jesus really do in this situation? I think this scripture is particularly enlightening:
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Matthew 25:32-46
That is how Jesus teaches us to treat one another. He also tells us this:
You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbora]">[a]A)"> and hate your enemy.’B)"> 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,C)"> 45 that you may be childrenD)"> of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.E)"> 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?F)"> Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5:43-48.
What I'm seeing and hearing out of conservatives and many Mormons is disdain, contempt and outright hatred of these refugees. I'm not seeing a lot of love which is exactly how Jesus said His disciples would be recognized.
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. John 13:34-35
If this is truly a Christian nation where is the love towards these tired, these poor these huddled masses we are supposed to welcome?
