So Sarah and Beauregard are citing the Bible as justification for separating parents from children

[DemocratSinceBirth]

James 2:14-22 New International Version (NIV)
Faith and Deeds
14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”

Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.

20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless[a]? 21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did.

2. Matthew 9:14...

...But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

3. They are nothing but Old Testament Christians

They call themselves Christians, but they haven't made it past the Book of Leviticus in Bible study yet

[SummerSnow]

4. Proverbs 19:9 A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.

They press should have quoted that to her

6. Hey Tex!

How you doin'?

7. What in the world does that have to do with kidnapping children and housing them

away from their parents?

It's cruel and unusual punishment.

It violates everything that we as a country stand for.

9. There's probably something in the Bible about obeying the law.

I'm certain it was not meant to punish innocent children.

12. One of my ancestors was a child in a Hugenot family.

The Hugenots were Protestants in Catholic France. All of that child's family were killed, and he lived. A group of Hugenots went via a circuitous route to Britain. He was among them and survived. To take a child from his or her parents is cruelty beyond belief.

Anyone who has had children should know this. I cannot believe that Sessions and the Trump administration has sunk to this point. It is truly shocking. To deprive children unnecessarily of their families is to condemn them to a life of suffering. The emotional suffering is extreme when a child is taken from his/her parents.

8. They worship a bigoted white supremacist God

10. They are liars. The devil can quote the bible, chapter and verse too.

Exodus 22:21 "You shall not wrong a stranger or oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.

Leviticus 19:33-34 'When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. 'The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God.

Deuteronomy 24:14-15 "You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your countrymen or one of your aliens who is in your land in your towns. "You shall give him his wages on his day before the sun sets, for he is poor and sets his heart on it; so that he will not cry against you to the LORD and it become sin in you.

Deuteronomy 27:19 'Cursed is he who distorts the justice due an alien, orphan, and widow.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'

Psalm 146v9 The LORD protects the strangers; He supports the fatherless and the widow, But He thwarts the way of the wicked.

Zechariah 7:10 Do not oppress the widow or the orphan, the stranger or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.'

Matthew 25:35-46

'For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.' "Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink?

[Sophia4]

14. Thank you. I was going to find some of these quotations. Thanks for doing this.

You should make an OP of it and send a copy of it to Sarah Sanders. She should be ashamed of herself. She knows better. What if her children were taken from her?

[workinclasszero]

16. The republican party infiltrated the American church starting back in the 60's at least

They have pretty much destroyed it now IMO.

It's a weapon of the rich and the racist for the most part now, to punish the stranger in the land, the poor and the sick.

11. Two very despicable hypocrites.

15. Has anyone explained to these people that the IS is not a theocracy?

Has there been any response from Republicans in Congress about this?

[cynatnite]

17. And blaming Democrats for it, too...
