A Biblical perspective on Legal vs illegal immigration

Many of the differences we see today between the radical Progressive-left mentality and the Christian conservative mentality come down to common (maybe we should call it rare) sense born of irrational vs rational thought.

The immigration debate is one such instance.

Every democrat/progressive I attempt to have a conversation with regarding this issue seems to be getting their talking points directly from MSM (aka as the Democratic propaganda networks)

“ger” vs “nokiry”

An immigrant in the Bible is a person who moves to another country with the intent of living there indefinitely.

Most Bible translations do not use the word “immigrant” but typically use “stranger”, “foreigner”, “alien”, or “sojourner”.

The Bible was originally written using 11,280 Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek words, but the typical English translations use only about 6,000 words. Obviously, nuances and shades of meaning can be missed. That is why it is important to not only read different translations & interpretations but also go back to the original language.

There were two different Hebrew words used for immigrant. “Ger” was used in Leviticus 24:22 (NIV) for  ”alien” while “nokiry” is used in Deuteronomy 15:3 for “foreigner”.

When you read all the Biblical passages you will see that the  “ger” was held to different standards than the “nokiry”. It appears very apparent that God’s laws did not mandate a “citizen-of-the-world” philosophy that treated citizens (legal) and non-citizens (illegal) with equal status.

“Ger” is like an invited guest; like someone who comes to contribute.

Analogy: A stranger comes knocking on my door asking for help so I invite him into my home.

VS

I come home and find my front door kicked in and a stranger (“nokiry”) standing in my kitchen demanding my help.

“ger” contributes, asks humbly and is thankful.

“nokiry” takes and is demanding and ungrateful.

Humanity is seen by three different worldviews:

  1. Some see man as inherently good and any problems are simply caused by lack of man-made solutions – Lack of money or lack of education.   This is the doctrine of liberalism and the Democratic Party.  “The modern liberal believes man is born morally good and only turns evil because of their environment and/or circumstances.” 
  2. Some see man as inherently evil and of little intrinsic value, thus they need to be controlled by any means possible. Need to be controlled by dictators  or tyrants. [ironically, the controllers are equally evil]. This is the doctrine of countries like China, Russia, N Korea, Venezuela – communist, socialist, marxist countries.
  3. Then there is the Christian [Biblical]  Conservative worldview; man was originally created good, in the image of God, but then sin infected the human race. Thus humans have great capability for evil, but Jesus entered the world to take sin upon himself for His chosen ones; those who repent and the Holy Spirit empowers to live in righteousness.  In other words, man is born morally corrupt and only by seeking God can we have any hope of achieving moral goodness.

No issue has a greater influence on determining your social or political views than whether you view human nature as basically good or not. If you believe people are born good, you will attribute evil to forces outside the individual.” – Dennis Prager

This is why liberal politicians and their adherents believe in gun control, welfare, free housing and that Islamists destroy themselves and others because of external issues such as poverty or more ludicrously, lack of kindness shown them.

This is why having a Biblical Worldview is so critical.

If you do not recognize evil, judge it or confront it, you will be incapable of fighting it.

The Invincible Secret Weapon

The Invincible Weapon is guerilla warfare.

In any war, the big problem is not the invasion, it is the occupation.

In the 1960’s and 70’s the most powerful army in the world, USA, was beaten by a bunch of rice farmers armed mostly with light shoulder weapons.

In 1994, in Somalia, they were beaten again by small bands of militia armed again with light shoulder weapons.

In the 1980’s Russian armed forces were beaten by primitive Afghan tribesmen armed with light shoulder weapons. And again in 1996 they were defeated by Chechens armed with light shoulder weapons.

Guerillas prevent occupation.

The guerilla operates on the principle that a soldier cannot shoot what it cannot find.

And the guerilla is not much interested in killing privates or corporals. They want Generals and Colonels and if they are not on the field, they will take out Majors, Captains and Lieutenants. In other words, they’ll take out the highest ranking leader on the field. And he has no intention of making his move unless he can do it and slip away quickly and quietly.

Here’s an example scenario: In the woods near an enemy base, he places a mortar in a hole. He aims the mortar at the enemy’s headquarters or barracks, then fills in the hole so that the muzzle of the mortar is exactly level with the ground. He places a flat rock over the muzzle, scatters some leaves for camouflage, then goes home.

A couple of months later under the cover of darkness he goes back to the mortar hole and drops six mortar rounds, replaces the rock, and goes home.

A few months later he does it again, and then again and again…

That’s guerilla warfare. Hit and run.

An occupation army needs to have a different mental and emotional makeup then an invasion army.

An invasion army requires well equipped expert warriors who can punch through the enemy’s defenses and establish bases for the occupation forces.

An occupation army needs to be made up of cold-blooded homicidal maniacs.

Should America ever be “invaded” it’s going to be by UN troops or other foreign troops allowed in through a porous border over the course of several years as illegal immigrants.

Our own armed forces will need to be emasculated or indoctrinated as communist sympathizers. [SOUND FAMILIAR?]

The only way to kill guerillas is to kill everyone.

Think Lt. William Calley, My Lai, Vietnam. 500 men, women and children were massacred by American troops out of frustration.

Six decades before Vietnam, during the early conquest of the Philippines, American General Jacob Smith, out of frustration at being unable to defeat ill-equipped Philippine guerillas, ordered the killing of any and all men, women and children our troops could find.  220,000 men, women and children were slaughtered.

The only way to defeat guerillas is to kill everyone.

If we ever get into this situation, remember this if you need a boost of ruthlessness.

The person now occupying the WH in 2022 has said that patriots would be no match against F-14’s. [remember when he threatened Trump supporters if we ever thought of fighting back?]

In Vietnam, a country smaller than California, US aircraft dropped three times the tonnage of bombs that were dropped in all of WWII on it during the course of our conflict – which we lost.

That comes out to 1,000 pounds of explosives for every man, woman and child in the country.

The ONLY way to win a guerilla war is through ethnic cleansing.

  1. The political ideology in power would have to identify who the “ethnic” guerillas or potential guerillas were.
  2. They would then have to either
  3. Convince the masses of the evilness of this “ethnic” group. [We unvaxxed already know how easy this is] so there would be no public outcry.
  4. Employ foreign troops or mercenaries.

In the past, I would not be at all concerned about our own government being this evil, but times have changed and Satan now has this Democrat Party by the cahoonas.

By-the way: The rule of thumb among military experts is that conventional troops need a minimum six-to-one numerical superiority over guerillas. Some even go as high as ten-to-one, in addition to helicopters and all other technological advantages.

In Vietnam, it took three B-52’s and 80 tons of bombs to kill one guerilla while it only took one guerilla with a $300 hunting (sniper) rifle to keep a whole battalion of Marines tied up for days.

General Eisenhower estimated that 2,800 French guerillas were worth 15 infantry divisions. A division is 5,000 to 10,000 troops.

In 1998, the Turkish government had 200,000 regular troops committed to fighting 1,200 Kurdish guerillas.

Incidentally, this is why our Founding Fathers included the Second Amendment.

They knew that the most effective defense is the one that focuses on making the country difficult to occupy by enemies – foreign or domestic.

  

The Swiss Defense System:

Switzerland has the best track record of staying out of wars.

How have they done this?

In Switzerland, a man joins the militia at age 20 and remains until age 50. [A militia is all able-bodied adult males of good character]

Each militia member trains regularly, keeps his rifle and ammunition in his home ready at a moment’s notice.

They are trained to be snipers.

Marksmanship is a national sport in Switzerland.

There is a Swiss saying: “Switzerland does not have an army; Switzerland is an army. It is an entire nation of Minutemen.”

 

Strategic Guerilla Warfare of Switzerland as Taught to Their Citizens

  • Shoot the highest-ranking leader from a concealed position then disappear.
  • DO NOT engage the enemy in an extended battle.
  • Every Swiss household is required to have a military-style gun and every adult citizen is taught how to use it.

If you will read Federalist Papers number 20, 42, and 43 by James Madison and Alexander Hamilton you will find that our Founding Fathers studied the Swiss System carefully when creating our American system.

The Second and the Tenth Amendments bear the special imprint of Swiss thinking. (one of those thoughts was to STAY OUT of the affairs of other countries, especially wars. Notice that the only president in modern history to follow this line of thinking was Trump)

If America today was still modeled after this Swiss Defense System, we would have a militia-guerilla system of defense 50 million strong. This means an enemy (foreign or domestic) would need, at a minimum, 300 million troops.

Here is the EXACT wording of the Second Amendment:

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

The amendment does not give permission for a well-regulated militia; it requires one.  

 The objective of this militia defense system is not to kill the enemy’s troops. It is to kill enemy leaders.  Generals, Colonels or someone higher.  In other words, cut off the head of the snake.

  

I have read all of Richard J. Maybury’s practical books based on historical truth and was the source of most of this essay.

In the 1960’s he was a member of the 605th Air Commando Squadron and worked directly with the CIA’s notorious School of the Americas whose job was to teach anti-guerilla warfare to foreign troops for the likes of Manuel Noriega.

This experience is where he draws upon this knowledge and where he realized the tremendous advantage guerillas have over regular troops.

 

The Second Amendment was not written so that we would have the right to hunt or even defend ourselves.

It was written specifically so that We the People would have the means to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government and even overthrow it if need be.

Optimism is not Hope

David v GoliathTrue Christians need to understand the difference between Christian optimism and Christian hope.

Despair and optimism are too often treated as different sides of the same coin.

The issue is both promote inaction. One out of a sense of helplessness and the other out of ignorance.

It is also why the doctrine of unlimited submission taught by too many in the church is not only wrong but destructive.

One of my favorite authors of the last several years is Rod Dreher, who wrote Live Not by Lies.

He has often been accused of being a pessimist, but he responds by saying “I am neither pessimistic nor optimistic, but I am hopeful.”

Optimism is the belief that everything will always turn out for the best if we just all sit tight and wait.

Christian hope however is realistic. Because Christianity above all else is a worldview, the only worldview of reality. It understands that things are not the way they are supposed to be and that this world is not our home and so we should not expect it to provide us the comfort of home.

That is not to say we should not be grateful for what we have been given in this world.

But it does mean that when things go wrong and it appears the enemy is winning, I must not despair but must work to the best of my ability to right such wrongs.

Even David, after kneeling in prayer, stood up, picked up a rock, and proceeded to defeat Goliath.

Our current world seems to be entering a darkly chaotic and uncharted era. But, if we who call ourselves true Christians, children of God, give up in despair, then who will battle the evilness spreading across our land?

We need to never stop preparing ourselves for battle by staying informed, maintaining a passion for truth and the courage to stand up for that truth, knowing what we believe and why, and worshipping God worthy as true disciples.

I’m not convinced Unlimited Submission is a Biblical Worldview.

Tyranny Vs LibertyUnlimited Submission IS NOT Biblical

Christians should do all they can to submit to the government (Romans 13:1-7).

However, the government does not have unfettered authority to control our lives.

We all face gray areas as believers, yes. But adopting a secular worldview, in whole or in part, is not “loving your neighbor.” Living as a courageous Christian who stands for the truth and extends an arm of love to others while never sacrificing the principles of God’s Word is what it means to “love your neighbor.”

If, for example, we lived in China, and we were under the “one-child” policy, we would have grounds for not following this policy. This worldview is directly contrary to Scripture’s teaching on the goodness of a home full of children (see Psalm 127 and 139). In such an instance, love of neighbor actually means standing against “Caesar” with a posture of gracious and controlled defiance.

For Christians, love of neighbor DOES NOT MEAN obeying the commands of false worldviews (Matthew 22:34-39).

For Christians, love of neighbor DOES MEAN you do what God commands, not what the world demands, and from that God-obeying stance, reach out to others in grace and truth.

The Great Commission and the Cultural Commission are Inseparable

 The scriptural justification for culture building begins in Genesis (V 1:26-28)

For five days, God created the world/universe we live in, then on the sixth day, He created man in His image and gave him/(us) dominion over creation [Genesis 1:26].

He commands us to carry on where He left off – the development of His creation will be our responsibility and it will be to “fill” and “subdue” the earth and that can only include both social and cultural means as well. (Gen 1:28)

At this point creation (before the Fall) is still “very good”. God gives the responsibility of creating civilization to the one who bears His image. We must further populate the planet by producing offspring, and we must further shape the environment and the culture by taming it.

Since Adam and Eve, each generation still bear children, builds families, and spread across the earth. We still tend animals and plant fields; we still construct cities and governments; we still make music and art.

Maybe we have lost our influence over the culture because the church has focused solely on the Great Commission of saving souls and has neglected to save/build the culture as well.

Salvation doesn’t mean simply freedom from sin; salvation should also mean being restored to the task we were given at the beginning of time – the task of creating and maintaining culture.

Every part of creation came from God’s hand. Redemption does not appear to be just for individuals but for all creation (Col 1:15-20).

The teaching seems to be clear; Christians are saved not only from something (sin) but also to something (Christ’s lordship over ALL of life).

We are meant to proceed to the Restoration of all God’s creation, which includes private and public virtue; individual and family life; education and community; work, politics, and law; science and medicine; literature, art, and music.

The goal of Redemption includes the sacred as well as the secular. We are to bring “all things” under Christ’s lordship in the home, school, work, corporate board rooms, movie screen, concert stage, city council, and legislative chambers.

Politics, the law, and art [all forms of media] are all part of the Cultural Commission or Mandate.

This is why EVERY Christian must have a comprehensive worldview that covers all aspects of reality and only a Biblical Worldview gives us that.

A Biblical Worldview insists that God’s laws govern ALL of God’s creation.

If you still don’t see the evilness surrounding us….

If you still don’t see the evilness surrounding us and everything that has happened since November 2020, then you just never read to understand anything of significance in your life.

It’s my defiance and the defiance of those like me that are protecting your freedoms and liberties and it is the submissive obedience of others that is endangering mine as well as your own.

If we don’t fight like we are the 3rd monkey trying to get onto Noah’s Ark while we still can, we can have no expectation we’ll fight when we no longer can.

How can we fight?  Stop supporting the lie. Stop supporting those telling the lies. Mass disobedience is our most powerful weapon right now.

  • Support businesses that refuse to comply with mandates and reduce/cut all spending with businesses that do.
  • Refuse to comply with employers who try to enforce any kind of mandate and force them to fire you so they feel the pain of losses.
  • Remove your children from any education system that is implementing any type of mandates and/or work with other families to create homeschooling /unschooling co-ops.

If you do not have the courage to fight for freedom without chaos, but rather want personal peace and safety, then stand down and out of the way. Wear your three masks; cower with fear and indignation, but do it to the side, not in the path to freedom. The politicians, our institutes of medicine, religion and education, big business/big tech, and the bureaucrats are breaking constitutional law every day, either out of ignorance or satanic malice.

We the People have the Constitution on our side. Learn your rights. We must use the Constitution to resist as “civil disobedients”.

When we can show the world that America’s Constitutional Republic principles beat back Satan’s minions, maybe then we will be one step closer to the true awakening we want and need.

“In every action we take, we are doing one of two things: we are either helping to create a Hell on earth or helping to bring down a foretaste of heaven. We are either contributing to the broken condition of the world or participating with God in transforming the world to reflect his righteousness. We are either advancing the rule of Satan or establishing the reign of God.  – How Now Shall We Live by Chuck Colson

So, every time you nod your head to a lie, you are helping to create hell on earth.

If we are choosing between being divided by truth or united by lies, ALWAYS choose division by truth – otherwise, evilness wins.

The Feminization of Man

Courage

I cannot speak to what is happening in Europe and Scandinavia, but I don’t doubt the subject of this interview because I see the same thing here in America.

I am involved in several causes that are intended to battle the corrupt and inaccurate worldview of the progressive leftists and the ones doing most of the heavy lifting are women.

It is because the male species in America, and it seems the world over, have lost their courage [I come from an era that calls it “their balls”]

One of the great gifts you can give yourself is courage.

Sometimes it takes courage to remain silent but more times than not it takes more courage to speak out when you know that what you are going to say is unpopular.

Finding men and women who are good is easy; finding good people who also have courage is unfortunately rare.

Courage is the unwillingness to put up with and support lies and the liars who tell the lies.

Truth is the one thing courageous people are willing to defend ALWAYS

Find Your Voice:

Have the courage to stand up to lies and speak truth.

Find the courage to share your thoughts not because you think it will change the minds of people who think differently than you but to show people who already think like you that they’re not alone and maybe inspire others to find theirs.

What are you willing to defend?

You either love truth or love lies – which are you?

Progressive leftism needs to constantly foment, hate, fear, resentment, oppression, class/group inequality, and ingratitude.

The left needs you to be ungrateful.

Without the order of a Biblical Worldview, you get chaos.

In a remarkable interview Danish journalist Iben Thranholm said this about the disappearance of Western manhood: Dear European Men: You Are Pathetic Pussies.  This is a Danish woman’s conclusion.

https://www.lewrockwell.com/2021/05/paul-craig-roberts/the-feminization-of-western-men/

Thranholm says that Western men have been feminized and Western women defeminized. She says feminists have destroyed men, who are now raised to be women. Consequently, there is no one to protect white women from the sexually aggressive immigrant-invaders brought into all European countries by the anti-white European Union, an enemy of national sovereignty that wants the destruction of European ethnic nationalities. 

Iben Thranholm says Western men have been deprived of strength and confidence by feminism.  All over Europe, white women of European ethnicity, French, German, Danish, Swedish are raped openly in public by the privileged people of color welcomed in by scum like Merkel, the corrupt French governments, the bought-and-paid-for Italians, the dumbshit British, and the white men just look away and walk on by. Not only has feminism deprived men of any sense of obligation to their women, they are scared to death of being arrested for offending a person of color by interfering with his rape of a white woman.  Indeed, in Scandanavia women are not only afraid to leave their homes, they are afraid to report their rape, because the police might charge them with a hate crime for claiming rape by a protected person of color. In Sweden the protection of Swedish women is so nonexistent that it is becoming a right for a person of color to rape a Swedish woman. 

IT IS BETTER TO BE DIVIDED BY TRUTH THAN UNITED BY LIES!!

Choose Courage

Faces of CourageOne of the great gifts you can give yourself is Courage.

The Greek word parresia (παρρησία) is used 31 times in the New Testament. It means boldness, confidence, courage, and fearlessness.  All words found in the Bible that relate to the concept of parresia.

Jesus spoke with parresia like no one ever had. He spoke with courage because He only spoke Truth.

His disciples said, “Ah, now you are speaking PLAINLY (παρρησία) and not using figurative speech!” (John 16:29 ESV)

Jesus answered him, “I have spoken OPENLY (παρρησία) to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret. (John 18:20 ESV).

Because Jesus spoke with parresia, He inspired others to find their own Voice and speak in courage as well.

Now when they saw the BOLDNESS (παρρησία) of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus. (Acts 4:13 ESV)

Parresia (παρρησία) is the truth spoken without shame. Unfortunately, parresia is in low supply, not just amongst our culture but sadly, in our church as well.  The American church no longer influences our culture. Rather sadly, too many of our churches are influenced instead by the political correctness of progressive Marxism.

Parresia (παρρησία) is what the church needs to effectively preach the gospel and once again place its influence on our culture.

How important is Truth?

Scripture tells us to “put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil” (Ephesians 6:11, ESV). Paul tells us (in Ephesians 6:14) that truth is the very first thing we should put on. When Paul mentions truth, he is clearly talking about the truth of Scripture (e.g., Ephesians 1:13; 4:25; etc.)

What truth is:

  1. Truth is universal. It is true for all people, all places, all times, all cultures
  2. Truth is absolute. It is not relative.
  3. Truth is timeless. It is true yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
  4. Truth is objective. It is not based on feelings or opinions. Truth is discovered, we don’t make it up or create it.
  5. Truth corresponds with reality, to the way things really are. Truth is ‘telling it like it is’.
  6. Truth is based on God. Only God provides an unchanging, universal reality upon which truth is based.
  7. Truth is knowable, unarguable, and self-evident. God has made us and the world in such a way that truth can be known.

Here is the great evangelical disaster – the failure of the evangelical world to stand for truth as truth. There is only one word for this – namely accommodation: the evangelical church has accommodated to the world spirit of the age.” – Francis Schaeffer

We desperately need a “Church” which stands strong on truth; that will not knowingly support a lie.

“If we are not preaching the gospel well enough for the non-elect to reject it and us, then we are not preaching the true gospel.”

Sometimes it takes Courage to remain silent but often times it takes more courage to speak out when you know that what you are going to say is unpopular.

 Finding men and women who are good is easy; finding good people who also have courage is unfortunately rare.

Find Your Voice:
