Hillary Clinton on family separations at border: Jesus didn’t say, ‘Let the children suffer’
Washington Examiner ^ | 06/18/2018 | by Emma Ayers

Posted on 06/18/2018 2:32:23 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Hillary Clinton weighed in Monday morning on the ongoing controversy regarding the Trump administration’s "no-tolerance” border policy, suggesting that Jesus would not condone the actions of the American border authorities.

At an awards lunch for the Women’s Forum of New York, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee called out “those who selectively use the Bible” to give grounds for the separations, which were reported by the Department of Justice on Friday.

“I went to a lot of years of Sunday school — even taught it from time to time. I’ve studied both the Old and New Testament, and what is being done using the name of religion is contrary to everything I was ever taught," Clinton said. "Jesus said, ‘Suffer the little children unto me.’ He did not say, ‘Let the children suffer.’”

Clinton’s comments appear to be in response to Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ invoking scripture last Thursday in response to criticisms from various Christian groups, as well as well-known evangelical leader Rev. Franklin Graham.

“Persons who violate the law of our nation are subject to prosecution,” Sessions said. “I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13 to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained the government for his purposes.”

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders backed up Sessions’ remarks during a later press briefing, in which she told CNN’s Jim Acosta that it is “very biblical to enforce the law.”

There’s nothing that irritates me quite as much as hearing someone take the Scriptures out of context to push their personal agenda.

Everyone knows that Jesus was referring to His relationship with children while making the point that their trusting humility is a requirement for entering His kingdom.

What He said had nothing to do whatsoever with a nation securing its border, obviously.

"Jesus said, ‘Suffer the little children unto me.’

Except for aborted babies, Haitian, Libyan, Syrian and Ukrainian children just to name a few.

We will not be fooled. The adults are using minors as a get out of jail free card and green card. These children are being used as mules to bring in drugs and in sex trafficking.

SHRILLARY:

The 10 Commandments also say “Thou Shalt NOT Steal”

You have stolen from every source you could find for a long, long time.

Did you EVER return all the items you stole from the White House?

We know you stole over 600 FBI files. Probably still using them as extortion.

There is nothing religious that can be connected nicely with you-—at any place—at any time—in any way.

She literally and contextually misquoted Jesus in the Bible. His disciples think they are doing good by keeping kids away from Him. He says the Kingdom of God belongs to kids like these. He’s not talking about earthly kingdoms, nations like America. What she’s doing here is really pandering to Americans who are ruled by their emotions or worse, not by their intellects. it’s sickening what the cynical and manipulative bushes, clintons, leftists, socialists, commies et. al, are doing here. May God turn their wicked plans to a just end.

the actual quote Mark 10:14 - Berean SB

When Jesus saw this, He was indignant and told them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

I think this maybe the first time in decades the words Jesus Christ were uttered from her throat not as a swear.
