Sunday on NBC’s “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 there’s 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 don’t treat human beings like that. That is not what — Trump’s 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 they’ll tell him that these are human beings and they’re children of God, they should be treated that way.”

Is there something unChristian about the walls around a certain house in Chappaqua, NY?
Sounds exactly like the sort of argument the devil would employ.
Jesus stands at the door and knocks. He doesn’t come uninvited through the back window.
what is the connection between the Old Testament and Christianity? Isn’t that a New Testament religion?
Moonbeam wouldn’t know “Christian” if it bit him in the Obama
Atheists keep telling us what is Christian and what is not Christian.
These vermin will stoop to any low to push their commie agenda.
Jerry Brown is another person I will have to vow to piss on his grave.
A majority of the state’s voting populous wants this man in charge. THATS a whole lotta idiots.
I thought leftists were against theocracy. So why are they telling the government to be more like Jesus?
I believe in the whole counsel of God, from Genesis to revelation.
I guess that makes me a little weird in today’s world.
I’m sorry i was asking about your use of the old testament to argue against a point about Christianity.
Sorry for disturbing you.
Not disturbed...I just “morph” from the OT to the NT very naturally and casually.
Peace.
But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.

Isn’t Gov. Moonbeam for abortion. So much for his opinion.

CA Gov Brown: Not ‘Christian’ to Build Wall to Keep Our Illegal Immigrants Out.
CA government supports illegal aliens and treats them better than our military veterans and the rest of our citizens....Spit*
Whenever Democrats try to fall back on Christianity or the Bible to support their position they just end up looking completely ridiculous. Not only do they reveal their complete ignorance on the subject they also show themselves up for their monumental hypocrisy since in almost all cases Christianity is portrayed as evil by them.
Jerry Brown’s statement should make the list of “Ten Most Stupid Statements by Politicians in 2017.”
God told Nehemiah to build a wall around Jerusalem to protect the people from foreign invaders.
Of course Moonbeam is a Christian...he prays for money from the federal government to cover his fantasy government give aways in California.
I love it when secular progressives lecture Christians on what Jesus would do.
The man doesn’t know God well at all. God doesn’t change. He is a boundary maker as well as the maker of nations. From page one in the Book, God made boundaries...lots of them. He continues to make them.
