You can be a Christian or a Socialist but not both. End of story.
Just for the sake of clarification to those who might not understand what being a "Christian" is, you most certain can be a "socialist christian!"
It's called being a Bad Christian...
Unfortunately you can be a Christian and a Socialist. Many main stream protestant churches (including Presbyterian USA) as well as Catholic Churches and Jewish Temples donate to Acorn, thinking they are doing a good deed-they are not. Many are pro amnesty, thinking they are doing God’s work. The Salvation Army is one of very few Christian Organizations who refuses to support pro-amnesty and therefore does not give money to socialistic organizations. I give to Salvation Army and they now have a new donation store I will support. Socialism has creapt in everytwhere. Check out Jim Robb’s Numbers USA clipped below for a complete explanation.
NumbersUSA Helps Show Church Leaders that Amnesty is NOT Religious Charity
Some churches are listenimg
This is Jim again, speaking for the NumbersUSA team.
I have some new information for you, plus some things you can do about it.
Did you know that Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) held a mass rally on the Capitol’s West Lawn on Tuesday to present the outline of his new mass amnesty / weak enforcement bill? Of course, his proposed legislation includes a path to citizenship for most of the illegal aliens currently in the U.S. Earlier this year, Gutierrez barnstormed the country, speaking to dozens of churches, arguing for more immigration and amnesty.
According to Gutierrez, granting amnesty to illegal aliens is the righteous, merciful, and just thing to do. According Gutierrez, entering America illegally is practically a civil right! Where’s the compassion for America’s millions of unemployed?
You probably already know that many American church groups have recently endorsed an illegal alien amnesty. National church leaders are in near unanimous agreement that amnesty is the right thing to do. However, most rank-and-file church members seem strongly opposed to amnesty.
The Catholic Bishops have endorsed amnesty, followed by various Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, and Episcopal groups. Most major Jewish groups have also jumped on the amnesty bandwagon.
Last week, National Association of Evangelicals also came out for amnesty. Lots of churches belong to NAE, including the Assemblies of God and the Church of the Nazarene, and the Salvation Army. (Not on board are the Southern Baptists, Mormons, and others.)
Last week, these religious groups testified before a Senate committee asking for a “comprehensive” immigration bill with a mass amnesty, more worker visas, and weak enforcement.
We asked our members to contact their religious groups. We asked members to say, “Keep politics out of the church. Amnesty is not our mission.”
