I have been trying to find the verse(s) that Obama quoted in his speech: OBAMA: Or are we a nation that finds a way to welcome her in? Scripture tells us, we shall not oppress a stranger, for we know the heart of a stranger. We were strangers once, too.
What book and verse does this say it?
Must be the Koran—it’s not in the Bible
Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Exodus 22:21
“Do no wrong to a man from a strange country, and do not be hard on him; for you yourselves were living in a strange country, in the land of Egypt.”
Exodus 22:20
You shall not molest or oppress an alien, for you were once aliens yourself in the land of Egypt.
Exodus 23:9
“Do not oppress a foreigner; you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners, because you were foreigners in Egypt.
Leviticus 19:13
“’Do not defraud or rob your neighbor. “’Do not hold back the wages of a hired worker overnight.
Leviticus 19:33
“’When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them.
Leviticus 19:34
The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus 25:35
“’If any of your fellow Israelites become poor and are unable to support themselves among you, help them as you would a foreigner and stranger, so they can continue to live among you.
Deuteronomy 1:16
And I charged your judges at that time, “Hear the disputes between your people and judge fairly, whether the case is between two Israelites or between an Israelite and a foreigner residing among you.
Deuteronomy 10:19
And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt.
Deuteronomy 23:7
Do not despise an Edomite, for the Edomites are related to you. Do not despise an Egyptian, because you resided as foreigners in their country.
Deuteronomy 23:16
Let them live among you wherever they like and in whatever town they choose. Do not oppress them.
Deuteronomy 27:19
“Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow.” Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”
Psalm 146:9
The LORD watches over the foreigner and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.
Jeremiah 7:6
if you do not oppress the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow and do not shed innocent blood in this place, and if you do not follow other gods to your own harm,
Jeremiah 22:3
This is what the LORD says: Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place.
Ezekiel 22:7
In you they have treated father and mother with contempt; in you they have oppressed the foreigner and mistreated the fatherless and the widow.
Zechariah 7:10
Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. Do not plot evil against each other.’
Looks like I was a little late to the game!
I don’t know those verses but I do know the Bible says the poor you will always have with you and if a person won’t work he should not eat. I guess neither of those are pc in today’s world.
Completely incorrect reference from mosaic laws

Douay-Rheims Bible
Thou shalt not molest a stranger, nor afflict him: for yourselves also were strangers in the land of Egypt
The Marxist should stick to violating american laws, not divine laws
AMNESTY PING
Maybe they can sue him for that too.
Yes, it is in the old testament. And the repub controlled committee found them all clear of any benghazi wrongdoing. So maybe its time we all pull back from the cliff and realize everything we here on here is not always true. And stop driving this towards civil war.
Total missapplication of scripture. #1, O didn’t quote it because he surely didn’t know it - probably got it 2nd hand.
2. Has to do with general treatment of foreigners in a land, and is 100% true.
3. DOES NOT apply to foreigners who come into our land and break our laws! O’s interpretation is: “Holding foreigners accountable to our laws is evil.” The verse has nothing to do with the laws of a land or those who break them! O’s theology says, “Foreigners in our land should be free from our laws”!!!!!
His theology is even worse than his politics. And only an evil politician will try to misuse/misapply scripture for his own ends.....
Never happened ...zot
>>Yes, it is in the old testament.
As long as Obama wants to quote the Old Testament, let’s show him some verses regarding homosexuality.
Either way, there are those who know Scripture and those who quote Scripture, not always the same.
.
Gotta love the attempt at selective application of Biblical verses (which the Left loves to do when it suits their purposes). The Bible also teaches marriage as being for a man and a woman, that it is ‘detestable’ to God for a man to lie with a man, and that it’s a blessing to be Israel’s friend.
Oh, and there’s the abortion thing.
