Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz appeared to use the Bible on Tuesday to support Democratic policies on the border crisis.
When discussing the immigration crisis, Walz repeatedly asserted that the immigration bill: Democrats aimed to pass Earlier this year — But I failed twice —It will also solve the immigration problem. Of course, there is no evidence to support that, and President Joe Biden does not need, and never has needed, new laws to enforce existing immigration laws.
Although Walz seemed eager to insert his faith into the debate over immigration policy, reference to his faith was noticeably absent when he defended his radical pro-abortion policies.
After claiming that the bill conforms to “American principles,” Walz interjected a word about his faith.
“I don't talk much about my faith, but Matthew 25:40 says, 'To the least of us you do it to me.' I think that's true for most Americans. They just want order. This bill is funded and supported by the people who will carry it out. “We can maintain our dignity in how we treat it,” he said.
So Mr. Walz seemed to be suggesting that Americans, especially Christians, have a religious, moral, and ethical obligation to pass the legislation sought by Democrats.
The only Christ-like solution suggested by Mr. Walz is the one Democrats demand.
However, there are two important problems with Waltz's biblical argument.
First, from the passage quoted by Waltz. Matthew 25:31-46 – have there's nothing to do involves the moral or ethical implications of a nation-state's immigration policy. Rather, Matthew 25:31-46 speaks of an apocalyptic vision of Christ's final judgment and contains teachings with important moral and ethical implications. For Christians.
New Testament scholar RT France writes in his commentary on the Gospel of Matthew:
For the striking feature of this judgment scene is that both the sheep and the goats claim that they are: I didn't know Their actions were directed toward Jesus. Each, like the others, is surprised that their actions were interpreted in such a light. They either helped Jesus, or they failed to help him, not Jesus, whom he was recognized as representing. In secret.
Therefore, it is disingenuous to cite the teachings of Jesus and imply that Americans are bound by a Christian obligation to pass legislation that Democrats want.
It is true that Christians have a duty to serve the poor and oppressed, and we do so. Christians are responsible for building and operating most of the charitable infrastructure invented over the past 2,000 years. Additionally, Christian organizations help meet the daily needs of immigrants. But the duty to love and serve is not the duty to pass Democratic legislation.
Second, while Walz seemed eager to bring his faith into the debate over immigration policy, there was a notable lack of reference to his faith in his defense of radical pro-abortion policies. I was doing it.
So the question is, is the fetus one of the “lowest” members of us?
Perhaps Jesus answered our question by declaring: According to Matthew 18:5“Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.”
