My own study of the Hebrew words doesn't indicate the word is limited to only one group, and only a hard heart would imagine the advice is limited to only one group. <br /><br />I do appreciate this correlation of Scripture with immigration realities. We need more of it. music@saltshaker.ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00003983720015900645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123074313746874514.post-62016081380000674292013-05-10T22:37:24.942-07:002013-05-10T22:37:24.942-07:00http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/debate/myths/m...http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/debate/myths/myths6.htm is an alternative view to the view that prohibition didn't work. Also check schirrosis of the liver rates; down by half during prohibition. <br /><br />Regarding the statement that the Bible is silent on how many we should welcome: The kinds of broad statements requiring that we love the stranger because we were strangers in Egypt [today, we say to avoid hypocrisy we must welcome immigrants since we and/or our ancestors not that far back were immigrants] aren’t obeyed by welcoming only 1% of those struggling to come here. Matthew 25 warns of Hell for those who do not welcome the stranger; I don’t think welcoming 1% of them will do. Luke 6:38 also promises blessings in proportion to how much we bless others, and right now another 40 million immigrants is how many we need just to wipe out our deficit. We need to welcome ALL, without quotas, both to save our nation, and to save our souls. music@saltshaker.ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00003983720015900645noreply@blogger.com
