Churches Gone Astray

Church leaders are off the reservation over Refugees. They worship the UN and have forgotten the example they got from Mother Theresa and the Good Samaritan. Charity should not be given with other people’s money unless it’s given as a charitable contribution. Using tax money to redistribute it to the poor is Socialism. The churches have overreacted to every politically correct scam so far, so who is surprised to see them support the Refugee Scam.. See article below:

750 “faith” groups and “faith” leaders tell the President that they want 75,000 additional third-worlders admitted to US beginning October first, by Ann Corcoran, 8/30/18.

Honestly, this is probably one of the most maddening aspects of this subject—-why on earth do they think the Bible says that government must take care of the poor?

Why can’t these “faith” leaders find ways to take care of the impoverished in the world (starting in their own towns!) using their own money! (Or they can volunteer to help the third world in the third world!)

Your new neighbors? I had to laugh about the photo the Christian Post uses to illustrate this news.  Do these ‘refugees’ in Greece make you want to invite them home?  Where is the photo of mothers and babies? And, why is one guy laughing?  Maybe because they fooled these Europeans!

Is your church lobbying the President? See below….

This latest lobbying pitch was apparently put together by Church World Service (73.6% funded with taxpayer dollars).  You will see their logo at the top of the letter here.

Here is the Christian Post: Over 750 Faith Groups, Leaders Say Trump Must Allow More Refugees in the US. An interfaith coalition of more than 750 religious groups and leaders have demanded that the Trump administration allow for more refugees to settle in the United States. The Trump administration has garnered controversy for its reduction in the number of refugees being allowed to resettle in the United States.

In a letter addressed to President Donald Trump and officially dated Aug. 21, the religious groups declared that “people of faith will not stand by idly as the United States turns its back on these individuals.” “Refugee resettlement is a critical tool our nation can use to relieve human suffering, and we urge the administration to fully utilize it,” stated the letter.

Citing their “collective scriptural mandate” and “our nation’s history,” the groups urged the president to “commit to resettling at least 75,000 refugees in Fiscal Year 2019.” More here.

So who are the “faith” leaders? Check out the list and see if your pastor, priest, minister, rabbi, or whatever has signed the letter .

I see four of the usual suspects—four (of nine) refugee resettlement contractors:  Church World Service, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, and World Relief. Several Catholic groups, but no sign of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (hmmm!).

They cite their “collective scriptural mandate” as the reason for their demands that you, the American taxpayer, pay for their ‘religious’ charity.

The number of clerics by state is revealing. There is no surprise that California, Illinois and other liberal states are locked in the jaws of political correctness, but the long list of clerics in Texas, Pennsylvania and other conservative states is a surprise.  I believe the clerics are disconnected from their parishioners on the immigration issues.  Churches are losing the support of their Parishioners because they have gone astray on political ideology. Clerics need to look at the Trump 2016 Election Map by County. There is a direct relationship between declining church attendance and the left wing positions being taken by church leaders.
