ask the writers

@ThatRightWingFish So things change when times change?

So old law isn't law anymore?

No.

what

"it was written in BC"

It's about understanding the context of the scripture.

BC*

okay

Jews were heavily endogamous and made sure to keep their communities above all homogeneous.

Were they violating this scripture?

^

No.

the bible also says to love your enemy, do I, no

They had a list of different commands which prima facie may appear contradictory.

I'm not talking about homogenous socities, I'm talking about deporting people.

Hi not talking about homogenous socities, I'm talking about deporting people., I'm Dad!

again

"treat foreigners as native-born."

AGAIN

But upon further inspection, in fact apply to different contexts.

How?

What was the context of this scripture?

I mean it seems pretty damn similar to history.

really?

"you're foreigners in Egypt"

yes they were

We were foreigners here

We took America through conquest.

were they treated fairly?

it didn't belong to us.

No.

did

We treated the Indians horribly.

Which is fine with me because our society was superior.

In Deuteronomy, they were speaking to the Jews.

Did the Israelites treat Canaanites like native born?

"You were foreigners in Egypt."

Israelites murdered the native born also

to make the holy land

Under divine command, admittedly.
