"To this, a liberal literalist might say that since the first commandment is to love God with our whole heart, soul, and mind; and since the second commandment is to love our neighbor as ourselves; and since the second command is "like the first," therefore we're supposed to love our neighbor just as we're supposed to love God—unconditionally, with our whole heart, soul, and mind. In reality, Jesus tells his followers to love the neighbor as one loves oneself, not as one loves God. It would be an absurdity to say that God wants us to love ourselves unconditionally, with our whole heart, soul, and mind. Therefore we are not to love our neighbor that way either. We are commanded to love and follow God, and once we do that, we will feel and behave rightly toward ourselves and our neighbor as well."

I do believe Christ was referencing the TEN COMMANDMENTS, as the first five are "spiritual" and the second five are "civil", and they still apply today.

We have to love our neighbors as we love ourselves, and remember that how we treat the least of God's children is how we treat Jesus. It is not easy to do, but it helps me.

I have a problem when I see people making such big generalizations about a group of people. People have to be treated as individuals. There is good a bad in all of us.

Thanks for bringing this article to attention. Too many Americans are chastised by their respective religious affiliations for wanting controlled borders, having the "example of Jesus" misused against them. This article makes it clear that "political correctness" has managed to infect and muddle the thinking of many we look to for spiritual guidance. With God's help we will resist (unknowingly) false counsel and preserve our nation.

Thanks for the ping.

Lawrence Auster is probably the best theoretician in the anti-mass immigration camp. His problem is that he is too good, far too intellectual for many to plow through - not a quick read at lunchtime. But for the willing, what he normally does is to encapsulate brilliantly the heart of the argument.

I've been thinking hard on this very subject. Should I, as a Christian, simply sit back and let it all be done to us? My answer is no, it shouldn't, for many of the same reasons that Auster has given here. And I will add another reason:

The mass immigration from Latin America and to some extent the Far East is not a benign one. It is, in fact, the plan and effort of truly evil people, who understand the weaknesses of a democracy, especially one that is dominated (for now) by Protestant ethics. They seek to exploit this weakness, because they equate kindness and obligation to others as a weakness. It is something they would never do.

Look at Mexico. The condition of the Peons (for the most part, the Mestizos) is the result of the hate and contempt of the decadent, lurid Spaniard Conquistador culture. By acquiescing to their carefully nurtured invasion, helped along by paid fifth columnists in this country, we advance the cause of evil. In what way is this Christian? The war should be against them, because they are evil, and deserve deprivation and death. If they must face those they oppress every day, and we help the oppressed to end said oppression, then that is real Christian behavior.

And did not God Himself warn Nebuchadnezzar against the instability of multiculturalism through a dream?

More basic than that: would you, as a human, sit by and watch while your family was overrun by thugs? Of course not. That is neither Christian nor human. And what is a nation but a large family? Christianity is very clear on our obligations to our families and communities.

Even the Pagans understood that they had to take care of their own first.

Congratulation Troll, that was the single dumbest article ever posted on FR. Are you aware this is a conservative site? What part of "Karl Marx is right" do you fail to understand, Commie? Considering Marx's despisal of all forms of Christianity, and wrote purposefully about it being abolished to create the perfect state, I find your championing of him for Christian principles to be the ultimate of his "Useful Idiots"

The problem with "liberal Christianity" is 99% of the practioners are not Christian - they don't believe Christ was God's son. If they cannot accept the above they should do everyone a favor and not call themselves Christian.

The best Christian was not Karl Marx.

Furthermore, as the Bible states over and over, God wants mankind to exist in separate nations. Deuteronomy 32:8 says: "When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of men, he fixed the bounds of the peoples ..." Acts 17:26-27 says that God sets "boundaries of their habitation" for every nation of mankind. "

Exactly! And Christ told His followers to *go* to other nations and teach them.
He didn't tell them to bring them en masse back home to Israel's land. And He did not tell them to intermarry either.
They were to cause the blessing of belonging to Christ to come upon all the other nations.
They would prosper in their own ancestral lands, be ruled by their own people, and retain their languages and uniqueness.

And Christ's disciples were to teach the nations who the King is: Jesus Christ and that He has a Kingdom.

His Kingdom is NOT a democracy, it is a theocracy.

"And there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve Him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away,and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." Daniel 7:14

"...for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." Revelation 5:9, 10

His theocratic Kingdom will be ON THE EARTH. It will be God's ONE WORLD government !!!

(read and weep liberals, atheists, and communists hahaha!)

National Council of Churches, along with individulas churches, sent aid to Marxists in Africa back in the '70 and '80, maybe even now.
