Sunday on NBCs Meet the Press, Gov. Jerry Brown (D-CA) said it was not a Christian thing to build a border wall to stop undocumented immigrants from coming into the United States because he said they were children of God and, They should be treated that way.
Brown said, The wall to me is ominous. It reminds me too much of the Berlin wall. When I see that 30-foot wall I worry somehow are they trying to keep me in or keep them out? I really think people ought to be careful because theres a lot of odor here of kind of a strong man, a kind of a world where you want the ultimate leader here to be doing all of this stuff, and having a wall, locking the people in is one of those characteristics. I think America ought to be very careful when we make radical changes like a 30-foot wall keeping some in and some out.

He added, We are going to do the right, human and I would even say the Christian thing from my point of view. You dont treat human beings like that. That is not what Trumps supposed to be Mr. Religious Fellow and I thought we had to treat the least of these as we would treat the Lord. So I hope he would reconnect with some of his conservative evangelicals and theyll tell him that these are human beings and theyre children of God, they should be treated that way.

It’s not christian to abort unborn babies, Jerry.
Hasn’t stopped you guys pushing for it and allocating govt funds to pay for it.
Reject socialists using biblical arguments.
These people,do their best to smear and eliminate christians and christianity from society.
They have zero shame and prove they will use any argument if they think it will help them.
Jerry, Mexico built a wall on their southern border to keep illegal central americans out of their country.
Are you calling Mexico un-christian too?
Ican think of some unChristian things no building a border wall will allos...like letting in illegal immigrants so you can steal our money to pay for their benefits so they’ll keep voting for you to sit on that throne and betraying your own country and people to keep yourself on the throne. The guy is using Satan doublespeak and is a deceiver...
Ask them to recie any scripture though and all they know is "judge not lest ye be judged" which they only know to refute Christians when they want to exuse ther gay homonazis activities...
California isn't California any more.
As a kid, I worked with migrant workers. Many came in under the Bracero program. But even then southern California was experiencing an invasion, an invasion of undocumented families that came without permission, hit the welfare programs hard and soaked up the state's wealth. I have a niece that made a career as a bilingual teacher in the public school with a room full of kids that did not speak English.
Last time I visited there seemed to be more spanish speakers then english speakers. That was one set of invaders.
Now we have the invaders from the middle east. Both sets of invaders do not want to conform to American ways. They both want us to become them.
Ain't goin' happen.
The New Jerusalem
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God. Her brilliance was like a very costly stone, as a stone of crystal-clear jasper. 12 It had a great and high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names were written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. 13 There were three gates on the east and three gates on the north and three gates on the south and three gates on the west. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 The one who spoke with me had a gold measuring rod to measure the city, and its gates and its wall. 16 The city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the rod, fifteen hundred miles; its length and width and height are equal. 17 And he measured its wall, seventy-two yards, according to human measurements, which are also angelic measurements. 18 The material of the wall was jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. 19 The foundation stones of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; 20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.
Coming from someone whose party works for the elimination of Christianity.
And how is it the governor of the most anti-Christian state, lecture on what is/is not Christian?
Indeed he’s just a freeloading stoner who lived off his folks money until he was 51 he needs to be placed on the funny farm.
I always ask these libs just how many are we supposed to take in. The supply is unlimited. How many will you personally house and feed?
They never have a logical answer it’s always something about feelings.
Well Jerry, let’s hear from someone who would have intimate knowledge of what Christian is.
John 10:1King James Version (KJV)
10 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
John 10:1New Living Translation (NLT)
The Good Shepherd and His Sheep
10 I tell you the truth, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold, rather than going through the gate, must surely be a thief and a robber!
John 10:1-5The Message (MSG)
He Calls His Sheep by Name
10 1-5 Let me set this before you as plainly as I can. If a person climbs over or through the fence of a sheep pen instead of going through the gate, you know hes up to no gooda sheep rustler!
John 10:1Living Bible (TLB)
10 Anyone refusing to walk through the gate into a sheepfold, who sneaks over the wall, must surely be a thief!
John 10:1Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
The Shepherd and His Sheep
10 Jesus said, It is certainly true that when a man enters the sheep pen, he should use the gate. If he climbs in some other way, he is a robber. He is trying to steal the sheep.
John 10:1Contemporary English Version (CEV)
A Story about Sheep
10 Jesus said:
I tell you for certain that only thieves and robbers climb over the fence instead of going in through the gate to the sheep pen.
John 10:1Common English Bible (CEB)
10
1 I assure you that whoever doesnt enter into the sheep pen through the gate but climbs over the wall is a thief and an outlaw.
John 10:1New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Parable of the Good Shepherd
10 Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber.
There are as many ways as there are translations to say the same thing. Sneak in, enter any other way than the designed way and you are there for no good. You are a robber and a thief. They aren’t my words, Jerry. They are the words of our Lord Jesus who is the Christ, found in John chapter 10 verse 1. It is the Lord who calls them thieves and robbers.
There are walls around both Jerusalem and New Jerusalem. There are pearl gates and no one gets in who doesn’t belong there. Walls and gates are obviously very important to God. So perhaps you need to go back to seminary Gov. Brown. It seems like you’ve failed Christianity 101.
Not very Christian to Steal your neighbors stuff in order for you to be charitable either.
A figurehead of the wastrel party of infanticide, lawlessness and endless war preaching about what is “christian”.
They could make a murder of crows blush bright cherry red.
Last I heard, moonbeam was a practicing zen buddhist...
They used to put our ER on alert every time he practiced his astral projections at a zen retreat out near Stinson beach, Marin county. That was decades ago however...
Jerry must have had the Exterior Doors removed from his Home because it’s the Christian thing to do...
Heaven has a gate that you have to go through; why shouldn’t a nation?
One of the 10 Commandments ,
Thou shalt not steal
That means Illegals from everywhere
And the gubmint
Moonbeam needs to read the book of NEHEMIAH..the whole book is about building the wall around JERUSALEM in an amazing 50 plus day span and how organized it was I have preached from this book for its organizational elements and criticism as well from those mocking the wall...nothing has changed inthe 2500 years since...not one thing new under the son...even the opposition to Nehemiah was demonic and that has not changed either...LOL...
Jesus told us to obey the law where we live. The early Popes built a wall around their city. Building walls is a Christian thing to do, as is helping those who follow the law and stay on their own side of those walls.
