Russell Moore, aged 44, serves as the 8th president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, the moral and public policy agency of the nation’s largest Protestant denomination which has 15.8 million members in 46,000 churches.. An ethicist and theologian by background, Dr. Moore is also an ordained Southern Baptist minister and the author of several books. A native Mississippian, he and his wife Maria are the parents of 5 sons and live in a suburb of Nashville, TN. Moore is an influential figure in the evangelical community, and frequently goes to bat for religious social conservatives in the national media.

"FR 11202015 Russell Moore, Conservative Christian Leader Blasts Anti-Refugee Rhetoric, Calls For Compassion"


5/02/2014

Moore was an aide to U. S. Rep. Gene Taylor (D-MS) serving in various roles including as campaign communications director and press spokesman in Taylor's 1992 campaign against Republican Paul Harvey. He was later part of the social liberal coup in the leadership of the SBC in 2013 which ensued after the uproar that Richand Land caused by his controversial comments about the Trayvon Martin case that resulted in an official reprimand by the ERLC's executive committee. Moore succeeded Land as president of the ERLC in 2013. He is soft on resisting the illegal alien hordes in the U.S., wishy-washy in his position on homosexuality, has promoted racial reconciliation by repudiating the SBC's racist history (In 1995, the SBC voted to adopt a resolution renouncing its racist roots and apologizing for its past defense of slavery, segregation, and white supremacy.) and working for churches that are multiracial venues of reconciliation as a witness to the coming kingdom, i.e., he is encouraging predominately white congregations to integrate with black worshippers, and denounced the Confederate flag after the Charleston Massacre of 2015. Many denominations receive federal tax dollars for helping resettle refugees, including the Muslim refugees from the Middle East. Social liberals of various intensities are found frequently in evangelical academia, including SBC colleges and seminaries, but the SBC itself is not controlled by them.

Yes, and we need a minimum 5 year moratorium on ANY immigration.

This guy is a liar.

Trump NEVER said anything about not allowing Muslim-Americans to return to the U.S.

Trump said, They’re Americans. Of course they will be allowed to return.

What's the procedure? Ask them if they're muslim?

They will lie and say they're not muslim. Then what? Draw straws?

Obama has closed the border to any Christians from other war torn nations. No one has mentioned that. Why should we be forced to import people who hate us, hate our way of life, hate our constitution and legal system. 50% of the Muslims here believe they should have Sharia law. Why are they here?????

We have no jobs for the Americans now. Why are we bringing in more immigrants to put them all on welfare. Someone has to wake up and stop this madness.

We need to reject any prospective immigrants who do not want to assimilate into our society, and who instead want to recreate the third world hellholes they came from here.

Yep he is. We would do well to remember the exchange between Thomas Jefferson and the Ambassador of Tripoli in 1784, explained here: http://captainjamesdavis.net/2015/02/05/thomas-jefferson-and-john-adams-explain-why-muslims-turn-to-terrorism/ In a nutshell, Muslims believe it is their duty, spelled out in the Quran, to kill ALL unbelievers.

Bottom line--it is them or us.

Islam is colonizing America. Each mosque or community center is a colonial operation, command and control center. This is where they spread their subversive message, recruit and radicalize and train their murderous jihadis.

Trump seems to be the only one running for president, on either side, who realizes we’re at war. The establishment bimbos hate him so much they are siding with democrats to once again try and run him out of the race for stating the obvious. Trump is the only candidate saying what Americans are feeling. We are sick and damn tired of having a president that does nothing to protect us for radical murdering muslims. There has to be a start somewhere and stopping this crazy flow of muslims into the country until we can figure out who the bad guys are makes sense to anyone that had a brain between their ears. Trump continues to have a leader while the others are spineless PC wimps no better than Obama.

“But the government should not penalize law-abiding people, especially those who are American citizens, for holding their religious convictions.”

No one is contemplating or discussing a bridging the rights of American Citizens, at all....

Foreigners do not enjoy the rights and privileges of American citizenship or culture.

We may and can, rightly, deny entry as well, deport anyone of foreign citizenship.

Which means if you hold dual citizenship and are so much as suspected of involvement in homicidal Islamic acts or support, you can and should toss yer ass out of these United States.

So, cute position in wanting to seem morally relevant but, inviting alligators into your oasis is inviting Darwinic Karma.

Yse - the country needs a breather.

It is time to shut down all immigration until the government has workable and effective systems to vet immigrants, track immigrants and visitors, quickly deport illegal entrants and visa overstays, etc.

We have better tracking and control on hot dog meats and cows milk than we do on terrorists entering the country both legally and illegally.

And we have a giant slug of somewhere between 12 and 50 million illegals that have not assimilated and have to be dealt with.

How about closing the border period, for the time being? Let us regroup, assess our policies and decide who should be here and who we should be letting in. We need to revisit the 1965 immigration act. The American people never had a say.

Yes.

If the Soetoro regime can close the doors to CHRISTIAN refugees - none of whom are waging a jihad against anyone throughout the world, than we SHOULD shut the same doors on the Muslims.

100 percent correct.... OK so what is more extreme.....
A. Refusing to enforce standard immigration laws and then bringing in thousands of Muslim refugees when your own intelligence has informed you that ISIS has infiltrated them, seeing first had that a terror attack happened at the hands of an Islamic terrorist that your own ICE department failed to identify or stop and having your own FBI commissioner admit that the vetting process for these people is flawed...

B. Asking our government to halt the influx of Muslims until we can be assured that any radical Islamic Jihadists are not infiltrating our immigration programs.

That is what we are up against... Obama and Liberals have traveled so far to the left that reasonable suggestions are now being labeled as some king of racist far rightwing attempt at isolationism.
