So, you would have been a good little Nazi citizen, turning in your neighbors if they were hiding Jews, wouldn't you have? After all, they were breaking the law of the land, and turning them in to the nazis for immediate extermination would be following the law of the land.
Scripture is clear: if the law of the land violates the laws of God, then not only are we "free" to break them, we are REQUIRED to do so.

You've got it backwards. It was the Nazis who were lawless and the Jews who were the law-abiding LEGAL CITIZENS. So there is absolutely no comparison.
As to reporting migrant invaders, it is the job of Homeland Security to SECURE the Homeland and SECURE the borders, so that migrant invaders do not get in. And if they do they are immediately deported. But like every other branch of the government DHS has failed America and sided with the criminal cartels.

Too many Christians have been deceived into thinking that if they reject the sins of the left, they must embrace the sins of the right. And so they are being drawn away from God's truth - a large part of which, like you so well pointed out, is of compassion for the sick and poor. The alarming part is that those deceiving the faithful claim to have come in God's Name.
Wow. If only we had been warned that false prophets would come using His Name to deceive the faithful and draw them away from the Truth.

Leviticus tells us that we are not to show partiality to either the poor or to the mighty. In righteousness we are to judge our neighbors.
I also seem to recall a certain one of Jesus' disciples who feigned concern for the poor. In his particular case, it was because he was a thief and he stole from the money bag.

I believe that a lot of people here don't realize how wrong they are. And they need to be reminded that GOD'S LAW always supersedes the law of the land.
And yes, I feel called to afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted, just like the prophets of old.
If you think Scripture is "asinine rhetoric," that is your right to believe such. I will support your right, in this land of religious freedom, to believe that. But I won't apologize for believing that you are wrong.
I don't care one way or another about getting attention for myself. I'm more interested in getting attention for the Truth. If just one person reads what I've written and it brings them to Jesus, then it's worth it.

True, we are told to speak the truth in love,
This is just on this thread
Post #55 she has reminded us of how wrong we are
Post #43 she calls someone “a good little Nazi”
Post #34 she isn’t condemning anyone, simply quoting scripture
Post #24 she excuses her anger, not her fault, it is righteous indignation because “I do get angry when people flaunt their fake Christianity, pretending to be Christian while hating Jesus”
Post #23 she refuses to apologize and again justifies herself saying she gets “upset when people spit in the world of God”
Please, please, please get the Covid Shot
She responded to PennEd challenging her assertion that she knew “dozens” of people who died from Covid — “A Christian who calls someone a liar. Need I say more? I’m guessing you’re white. I’m also guessing you know very few people who are not white. You might have one or two “friends” who aren’t white. But I bet if I asked them, they wouldn’t consider themselves more than “casual acquaintances”.
