"I've come to fulfill the law, not to change it."

2018-06-14 22:41:15 UTC  

Like everything we're doing is in the wrong if those quotes are correct.

2018-06-14 22:41:23 UTC  

No.

2018-06-14 22:41:25 UTC  

On immigration

2018-06-14 22:41:41 UTC  

"when a foreigner resides amoung you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner must be treated as your native-born."

2018-06-14 22:41:43 UTC  

How so?

2018-06-14 22:41:45 UTC  

I just wanna know.

2018-06-14 22:41:45 UTC  

again

2018-06-14 22:41:50 UTC  

Those quotes didn't refer to forming a nation's immigration policy.

2018-06-14 22:41:54 UTC  

^

2018-06-14 22:42:01 UTC  

They referred to helping a stranger in need.

2018-06-14 22:42:07 UTC  

remind you this is BC

2018-06-14 22:42:08 UTC  

IN our individual lives.

2018-06-14 22:42:09 UTC  

Then why not say stranger.

2018-06-14 22:42:18 UTC  

ask the writers

2018-06-14 22:42:18 UTC  

@ThatRightWingFish So things change when times change?

2018-06-14 22:42:21 UTC  

So old law isn't law anymore?

2018-06-14 22:42:25 UTC  

No.

2018-06-14 22:42:27 UTC  

what

2018-06-14 22:42:30 UTC  

"it was written in BC"

2018-06-14 22:42:33 UTC  

It's about understanding the context of the scripture.

2018-06-14 22:42:33 UTC  

BC*

2018-06-14 22:42:38 UTC  

okay

2018-06-14 22:42:56 UTC  

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

2018-06-14 22:43:02 UTC  

Were they violating this scripture?

2018-06-14 22:43:03 UTC  

^

2018-06-14 22:43:08 UTC  

No.

2018-06-14 22:43:26 UTC  

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

2018-06-14 22:43:27 UTC  

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

2018-06-14 22:43:33 UTC  

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

2018-06-14 22:43:33 UTC  

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

2018-06-14 22:43:39 UTC  

again

2018-06-14 22:43:45 UTC  

"treat foreigners as native-born."

2018-06-14 22:43:50 UTC  

AGAIN

2018-06-14 22:43:53 UTC  

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

2018-06-14 22:44:01 UTC  

How?

2018-06-14 22:44:11 UTC  

What was the context of this scripture?

2018-06-14 22:44:20 UTC  

I mean it seems pretty damn similar to history.

2018-06-14 22:44:28 UTC  

really?

2018-06-14 22:44:31 UTC  

"you're foreigners in Egypt"

2018-06-14 22:44:38 UTC  

yes they were
