In biblical times nations had borders. I understand we should love people and show compassion but it also isnt compassionate to flood areas with more people than services can handle
You should love your own people and show compassion to your own people. Not to everyone.
In biblical times, you didn't need a declaration of war from a government to recognize an invasion.
In biblical times, God had absolutely no problen with His people genociding outsiders down to the last man, woman, and child. Happened multiple times.
In Biblical times, if you crossed the wrong border, the nearest Legion would track you down and crucify you.
Not a believer, are there any passages on dealing with clearly useless people. The type of people whose opinion of you is determined if you did the last thing they asked you for, with no regard for all the shit you’ve already done for them? On liars and social parasites. Did Jesus have his own version of “He who does not work does not eat”.
I find it hard to believe Jesus told his followers to be doormats and then whipped a bunch of gamblers.
The Bible says he who doesn’t work shouldn’t eat
It goes on and on and on about laziness. A Christian supporting someone's laziness would be supporting someone living in sin, and therefore forbidden. The poor in the context of the bible would be those unable for whatever reason like children, elderly, disabled. Like I mentioned below not even single women count.
Liars and social parasites being the same. I'll quote this because a lot here will like it: "For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group." That's Titus 1, there's a whole paragraph most would like.
I grew up a believer, sort of became disinterested until I read the bible myself a ton and realized there's so little about being doormats in it, and really is stuffed with things that if we did the world would be better. I wouldn't say I'm a devoted churchgoing person and maybe that's to my fault, maybe it's not. I'm certainly not one of those from that pic throwing my hands in the air to look all faithful, because well, going around letting everyone know how especially Christian you are would be sinful too.
You understand wrong
But that's a central theme of the NT. Showing compassion is not the same as enabling laziness & other sinful behaviour. It's showing a good example & steering them in the right direction.
Love the sinner, hate the sin. That means you put a criminal in jail as punishment & try to guide them to your religion too.
“Love the sinner, hate the sin” is a concept expressed precisely nowhere in the bible.
Matthew 5:44: "But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you"
Proverbs 6:16-19: "There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers."
You're right in the way this exact sentence isn't written in the Bible, but if you bring pieces together, this is essentially a true statement.
It's part of many Christian religious philosophies though.
Sounds like a retarded hippy belief system.
It's actually a justification for punishing sinners (criminals) & came long before the hippies :>
The idea is that forgiving people is very Christ-like, so when someone "sins" like... steals your goat & eats it? You should forgive them. Well you do, but you still punish the sin. Preferably with an iron rod.
