Well, it certainly didn’t take long for stranger to enter this thread with his far-right bile and being applauded for it.
Over here in Europe, where all major churches help refugees, such positions are mostly held by atheists and I wouldn’t necessarily expect an atheist to know any better. But to hear somebody who claims to know and love Christ bashing His great commandment is – how shall I put it – especially sickening. Christians should be the salt of the earth, those who start living according to the rules of the Kingdom right here and now so that we may shine His light into the darkness of this world.
I know of many refugees who’ve turned to Christ because they saw Him mirrored in His follower’s acts of love and compassion. Would they have turned to Christ if the Christians they had met had greeted them with indifference or fear, envy and hate? Probably not.
What is sickening is your constant effort to use Christianity, Christians, and the Bible, to further your liberal and leftist politics concerning immigration and Christianity. Again, nations do not run as a missionary organization, or a church.
Your churches in Germany, you say, open their arms to immigrants. Was it the churches who created the safe zones for your women to protect them from the immigrants you open your arms to?
Oh Gee, you know many refugees who have turned to Christ. How sweet. How many do you know who have committed crimes against Germans and Europeans? How many of the Germans and Europeans do you know who have been violated by refugees?
You like to present yourself as Christian and spiritual because you open your arms to immigrants and encourage countries to do the same. And those who do not, must not be Christian or must not be doing the Lords work. It's easy to see that your goal is not to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ, which I question whether or not you even know what it is. Your goal is to get as many doors open to refugees that you can and to use the Church and Christians to do it. Are you a refugee? Are you an immigrant also? Are you from some third world country?
Your last question is nauseating. It spins on guilt and sentiment. Oh my, if I don't receive these refugees with open arms then they may never come to Christ. And that means I would be guilty of turning one away from Christ. How stupid. You can take your violin and play that sad song somewhere else.
