Communism is not about Christianity, forced, mandated, servitude to others is not Christianity.
It's slavery.

Is this Leviathan? Haven't seen them around for a while. He must be all rested up and ready for another endless thread of trying to poke the bear.

To flood the country with people who have selfish reasons for being here (and are being told to come and infiltrate the country) then suddenly no one can get health care, food, homes. There is a shortage of basics already. How can we look after ALL the masses when we are just barely making ends meet as it is: and I mean that personally, and governmentally. Those people can work to make THEIR country better. That's their responsibility.
The main issue is. . . with reliance on government, God goes away.
Government becomes Lord and Saviour.

Jesus would have you ignore the poor and treat them like criminals?

I understand that your understanding of free will gives you the ability to forgive yourself for agreeing to some pretty scuzzy stuff

Is Jesus asking people to ignore the desperate and the poor people they can see with their own eyes because they're not the right kind of people?
Does God give you permission to turn your backs on people because of politics?
Is God political - and ultimately worldly, petty and manipulative?
Your confusion is based on the same mistake people make when they claim Jesus was a socialist or communist.
The poor you will always have with you

You just restored my faith in humanity
I know that sounds a little bit over the top 🙂
Those are modern, political terms
Educate me. If Jesus doesn't believe in coercion, but free will - why was he preaching?
The poor you will always have with you
How do you interpret this? How does free will work in your interpretation?
