Here is a very well written article, grounded in natural law, which should be the basis of Christianity. After I read this, I concur with Glenn Beck on helping the Border Kids, at the same time pursuing policies that will close our border properly

Jesus TOLD US HOW to solve
this problem.
Here's
WHY.
You want to see the
"End of the Matter" ?
" ... And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them... ... AFTER the end of seven months shall they search.
And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it,till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog ... "
That's
a VERY long time burying dead Muslims, ... burying
a lot of DEAD Muslims!

I refuse to “love” an enemy whose basic bedrock requirement is the beheading of myself and my family. Exterminate them... God will sort it all out.

That’s what he wants: Submit.
Surrender to Islam and the Caliphate or lose your head. Literally.
He was raised in Djakarta as a Muslim. He was taught that white Christians are the devil who enslaved his people.
How could we elevate such a person above us?

I think we can all agree that nothing short of a massive invasion of Iraq and Syria is called for here. We should send as many troops as the generals require and stay for as long as is necessary.
To: shuck and yall
ALL U.S. citizens & legal residents - including Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, etc. - should expect our government to respond to ALL of our nation’s enemies with rational consideration of the threat posed by them and the likely negative consequences to the country of NOT vigorously opposing them; and to apply such force as is required to eliminate those threats and avoid the negative consequences.

we have a government telling another country (Israel) to let terrorists kill its citizens and do nothing defend themselves. A government telling our citizens that the bible says to join with Muslims, that whites commit hate crimes but blacks don’t. what gives?

For the next two years, who would make the better Commander in Chief of the US Military:
* Muslim B. Hussein Obama, or
* Catholic Joe Biden?

To: shuck and yall
“Turning the other cheek” has nothing to do with pacifism but everything to do with being treated as an equal. Christ demands that we defend our faith (1 Peter 3:15) and that our defense may be by the sword (Luke 22:36). What the Master also required was for his disciples to not fall into sin during that defense (Luke 22:40), which means to hate your enemy. This is the most difficult of requirements as humans deeply desire to hate, especially when we perceive an injustice of the type and magnitude being displayed by Islam, specifically ISIS.
As followers of Christ we are given permission to have a righteous anger, meaning we are to hunger and thirst for righteousness. Part of that is defending the faith and caring for the poor and weak. Should that require taking the martyrs crown, then we must face that possibility with the same conviction Christ did when facing the cross. But that would be plan B.
Plan A is to exterminate the cancer of Islam with prejudice.

People say, “Jesus said, ‘Turn the other cheek.’”
That is NOT what Jesus said.
Jesus said, “If someone strikes you on the cheek, turn the other cheek.”
He did NOT say, “If someone is threatening to kill you, turn the other cheek.”
He did NOT say, “If someone is threatening to rape your wife, turn the other cheek.”
He did NOT say, “If someone is invading your country, turn the other cheek.”
He did NOT say, “If someone wants to behead you, turn the other cheek.”

I think you’re reading stuff into Mr. French’s article that just isn’t there.

It's time we made these stinkin' Muzzl'ems eat their own words.
Make them eitherconvert to Christianity,
pay 80 percent of their income to the Christians as a fee to remain alive,
~ or DIE!
The stinkin' ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF has never quit being a Muzzl'em.
And he's not
"Incompetent" .
They want you to THINK that.
They're accomplishing everything they want to accomplish by breaking the law themselves.
They ARE
EVIL !
He's a BIBLICAL CURSE !
Remember: Don't let anyone deceive you in any way,for [that day will not come] until the rebellion occurs and the man of LAWLESSNESS is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.
He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped,so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
Don't you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things?
And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time.
For the secret power of LAWLESSNESS is already at work;but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.
And then the LAWLESS ONE will be revealed,whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth
and destroy by the splendor of his coming.
The coming of the LAWLESS ONE will be in accordance with the work of Satandisplayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders,
and IN EVERY SORT OF EVIL THAT DECEIVES those who are perishing.
They perish because THEY REFUSED to love the truth and so be saved.
For this reason God sends them a POWERFUL DELUSIONso that THEY WILL BELIEVE THE LIE
and so that ALL will be condemned who have NOT BELIEVED the truthbut have DELIGHTED in wickedness.
Let us remember ...
"You Americans are so gullible. No, you wont accept Communism outright.
But we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism
until you finally wake up and realize you already have communism.
We wont have to fight you; well so weaken your economy
that you will fall like over ripe fruit into our hands. "
Nikita Khruschev, Former Soviet Premier

Plan A is to exterminate the cancer of Islam with prejudice.And to pray for their souls as we extinguish their lives.

We will do nothing until God calls for the Eagle to fly.
This “ravenous bird” is a symbol of those nations whom God employs and sends forth to do a work of destruction, sweeping away whatever is decaying and putrescent (Matt. 24:28; Isa. 46:11; Ezek. 39:4; Deut. 28:49; Jer. 4:13; 48:40).
What is happening in the Middle East must happen and in the next two years...it will get much worse.
