Yes, they actually posted this.
The proper response to this, in the spirit of the Prophet Elijah mocking the priests of Baal, goes something like this:
But it's worth reading a few of the more civilized replies:
The email:
A person with common sense might conclude that Christianity Today has a lot less to do with Christ these days and more to do with left-wing talking points from 1985.
It's be an insult to spend my time debunking the whole article, but Trump isn't "upending life" for refugees.
He's rounding up criminals like this:
And this:
Trump isn't deporting lawful immigrants or people who have been granted refugee status, though he is going to be more selective in who is deemed a "refugee."
Believe it or not (this will come as a shock to the staff of "Christianity" Today), there is nowhere in God's Word where He instructs us to invite MS-13 and Tren de Aragua gangbangers into our communities so they can rape and murder our kids, or set fire to women on the subway, or flip off the news cameras.
God commanded the Israelites to not oppress the foreigner among them, because they themselves had been foreigners in Egypt (Exodus 23:9). But God also had very specific instructions for foreigners. For example, they could not partake in the Passover meal (Exodus 12:48-50) unless they and every male in their household had been circumcised (ouch!). The foreigners who sought to live in Israel had to follow Israel's laws and customs, or else be expelled.
Throughout the Bible, God spends a significant time instructing humans about borders - that is, about what it means for something to be set apart as unique (holy) from other things. Even in Jesus Christ, who has broken down "the wall of hostility" between Jews and Gentiles and between people and God, there is an extraordinary level of exclusion.
Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.
These principles apply in a lesser sense to human organizations and institutions, chief among them nations. In order for a nation to be right and just before God Almighty, it must protect (set apart as unique) its own people, laws, and culture, which means having border laws.
And yet many of the boomer liberals that have taken over Christian publishing want us to believe God demands we have open borders to welcome in everyone on the planet while also facilitating the largest human trafficking pipeline in world history.
To further this narrative, they lie about the current president of the United States as part of a highlighted campaign that excludes many of the good things that Christians should be celebrating right now, including the protection of life and new opportunities to advance the spread of the Gospel.
Speaks volumes, doesn't it?
