GOP Would Have Booted Jesus: Hill

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton ratcheted up her talk about religion yesterday - saying a GOP-sponsored bill making it a felony to be in the United States illegally would have "criminalized" Jesus.

Clinton, who's considered the Democratic front-runner for the 2008 White House race, made the comments at a hastily scheduled news conference about the House-passed bill aimed at illegal immigrants.

Quite so, one of the reasons He had compassion was that they would have quite a journey BACK!

According to Jesus we are to love our neighbor as we love ourselves.

Jesus did not tell the Roman government what to do.

[ripley]

they and she subvert everything else.....they might as well do the same to religious faith....(talk about saying the Lord's name in vain...she wins the prize)

[S0122017]

Seriously though, thanks for posting it.

Is it more comfortable to raise strawman arguments than to stick with commenting on biblical references?

Speaking of strawman arguments --- Jesus miraculously feeding the crowds isn't equivalent to Jesus helping lawbreakers continue to break the law.

More well-placed, premeditated words from an unaccountable, divisive sociopath.

Thanks to all lurkers contributors to this thread.

This I think describes America better than your scriptures justifying an invasion of strangers illegally. Remember "strangers" come from all over the world to become Americans and are treated with great kindness. Even "strangers" from Mexico.

Isa 1;7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land strangers devour it in your presence and it is desolate as overthrown by strangers.

Now according to you those "strangers" should be treated kindly by the Israelites whose country is being devoured by them.

There is such a thing as righteous judgment. For instance, if a man kills a man in defense of his family vs. a man who kills in cold blood. Righteous judgment would be the man who defended his family from death is innocent while the cold blooded murderer is not. Do you understand what I am saying?

[syriacus]

Logic pales in the face of revelation, doesn't it?

Are you saying we should take Hillary's word as Divine Revelation?

[beezdotcom]

I have made many similar references to God's Word about aliens

You twist Scripture to read 'lawbreakers' instead of 'immigrants', too? How quaint.

yet will make excuses for ignoring God's Word when it clashes with their "sensibilities"

We're not ignoring God's Word, we're just ignoring some wrongheaded and selective interpretations of same. I'm not sure the best way to help someone hungry and starving is to encourage them to engage in illegal activity.

Bush has made specific suggestions for dealing with illegal immigration.

He didn't say, "Anything goes."

Keep talking, you stupid b*tch. It's good to know that you're too stupid to realize that all you're doing is pounding another nail in your Presidential coffin.

I suppose Jesus was a Democrat, dontcha know.

Don't you remember when some boneheaded leftist dem idiot postulated that Mary and Joseph were homeless, and that's why Jesus was born in a manger?

It really is mind-boggling.

"Luke 10

29But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"


Are you advising Hillry? Because you conveniently left out who this "he" was and what his purpose was. How about starting verse 25 where we are told who the "he" is and his purpose.

Luke 10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted Him, saying, "Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"

26 He said unto him, "What is written in the law? How readest thou?"

27 And he answering said, "Thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself."

The lawyer is quoting, Deut. 6:5; 10:12, and Lev. 19:18:

28 And He said unto him, "Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live,"

29 BUT he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"


This was instruction to a lawyer who had in his mind to tempt Christ based upon what Christ had said starting Luke 9:57.

"Hillary-over-the-edge" PING . . . . . . .

[clawrence3]

That's right, first thing we do is kill all the lawyers.

[clawrence3]

Unfortunately, Hillary is correct this one time: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1601164/posts?page=71#71

What do you think of our own Founding Fathers being "illegals" against the Crown then?

[TheForceOfOne]

You made me spit coffee! lol

Hillary is the Antichrist.

Somewhere on her body is the mark of 'The Beast' - 666

This is the essential distinction. Jesus was not a political philosopher and he was not a democrat. The welfare state robs the individual of his opportunity to exercise brotherly love. Scripture does not say that the Good Samaritan called a hotline and relied on bureaucrats to dis the man who had been robbed. To confuse godless Marxism with Christianty is blasphemy.
