"Apostle" Dutch Sheets is mentioned in this video. Sheets is one of the leading proponents of the stop the steal movement. He taught at Christ For The Nations Institute in Dallas from 1980-1988. Coincidentally, this is the school Vance Boelter graduated from in 1990 after enrolling in 1988. Conceivably, he could have had Sheets as a teacher for one year.

Maga and Christian nationalists are gung ho about the US being founded on Biblical principles. But they toss out the Biblical principal of the punishment fitting the crime. That is, treating all illegal aliens as if they are violent criminals.

lol, No really, listen to the exact wording being used they never say American but always "US citizen"

And no wheel of words being spun just trying to help with not ending up being taken down and spending all day being finger printed and confirmed a US citizen. I guess the slang term American is on it's way out and maybe for the best. I think it's funny myself, "are you American? , "yes", "are you a US citizen?" ,"no" and the door is open to investigate each and every person in the United States. Then again that's what happens if you target people based on how they look.

The only ones who doesn't like officers asking them questions are the ones who don't like officers.

We have laws without them where are we as a county?

People don't like "officers" who hide their faces, won't identify themselves, and disappear people without any due process; even if they haven't done anything. Yeah, I wouldn't like that either.

God doesn't look at all crimes the same. How can Donald and his administration claim to be Christian, yet keep deporting people with minor offenses or no criminal record at all? What are they doing to improve the immigration system? You never hear anything about that.

Does he claim to be a Christian? He's more Christian like then the last administration who supports murdering the unborn up to 9 months old. And just opens our borders to anyone which is against our constitution.

You do know all he is doing is enforcing our laws right.

Do you want us to be a lawless country?

Sad part is the last administration set all of these illegals up, they left where ever coming here on false promises. So if you have a problem with it look at them, if they didn't start this it wouldn't be happening.

If people entered the USA legally there would be no issue like the million's of them before them including my family.

Illegal is illegal!!! Meaning going against our laws I myself am held accountable for my action's why does someone coming to this county ILEGAL have more rights than me?

If you really look they are improving our immigration system, they are enforcing our laws.

Those who come in today will not be facing the same problems as in the last 4 years. BUT they will still need to follow up with our laws in their future so they will not be deported. Show up for court hearing etc. IT'S OUR LAWS.

Why do you blame Trump if they came in leagly, followed our laws and did all they were supposed to do they would be safe. So whos fought is it?

Yes, of course he claims to be a Christian; he made it a cornerstone of his campaign. Many people in his administration openly identify as Christian. His agenda is based on the idea of returning the US to Christian values.

I don't like a lot about the previous administration, but they're gone, that's the past. Besides, you can't justify evil by claiming it's the "lesser of the two evils." When you do that you're admitting it's still evil.

I believe immigration is a problem and has been for a long time. All I hear from the Donald's administration is how to deport people and keep the national guard at the border. That's no solution and is just dumb. The Christian thing to do would be to find ways to improve the immigration system and make it easier for people to come here legally. That would be the Christian thing to do. But that doesn't anger your base and win elections.

Ok, I believe you?

You don't think the previous administration set those fokes up? Yes it was the past but because of their actions we have to deal with it now so it's not the past but the present.

All you hear from this President is deporting those who are in our country ILLEGALLY.

The question is why did Trump win? Was it because the last administration was so bad or he was so good the first time? Or both?

I say both.

You speak of the Christian thing to do, what should he do just leave our country in the mess that biden put us in by not following our constitution or do the right thing and follow our construction?

Maybe he has plans to work on the immigration process, but so much to do as of now fixing bidens mistake's he don't have time now?

People not liking officers asking questions was not what was being discussed. The point was that those officers specifically ask "are you a US citizen ?" not "are you an American?". The reason why is Mexicans from Mexico are Americans who are from Central America but not US citizens as well as Canadians are Americans from North America but not US citizens. American Indians are from the Americas but are not US citizens. Listen very closely to the exact words used by those officers, they are trying their best to guide people through this lack of understanding.

Yes, play the hand you're dealt. But if what you do in the present isn't working, don't blame the previous administration. This is what the current administration does at every turn. Instead of taking responsibility, they blame. When does the blame game end? When does it stop being past administration's fault and start becoming the fault of the current one?

All you hear from this President is deporting those who are in our country ILLEGALLY.
Should there be some kind of punishment for being here illegally? I think so, but the punishment should fit the crime. Simply being here illegally is not the same as being here illegally and being a violent criminal or drug dealer. Remember, these are the ones Donald said he would deport. The vast majority of people being detained and deported have no serious crimes on their record. This isn't Christian, it's cruel and it doesn't make good sense. Many people who came to this country illegally work and pay taxes into programs like Medicare and Social Security. But they'll never be able to benefit from those programs. It's bad for the country to ship them out just because their only crime is crossing illegally. The truly Christian thing to do with these people who have proven their value to this country would be to make them pay a fine and provide an expedited pathway to citizenship. If they refuse to accept an offer of citizenship, then deport them.

You speak of the Christian thing to do, what should he do just leave our country in the mess that biden put us in by not following our constitution or do the right thing and follow our construction?
If what he was doing was working so well, there would be no need to blame anyone, he could just point to his accomplishments. But since he's made such a disaster of things, he has to blame someone.

Who's the One who created borders for mankind?

A compassionate and wise immigration system is Biblical per the example of Israel's proselyte system in which legal immigrants were to join Israel's culture to a high degree and live by their Law.

This is Christian.

The great orange one had tweeted that there are too many non-working holidays in america. Let's get rid of President's Day first.
President's day is a real thing bro, but delusions should not be celebrated.
The Great Orange One should remove this Juneteen holiday which was legitimized by whoever was controlling the Autopen from the Nursing Home Patient.

The protests are over in LA, curfew has been lifted. The reason the National Guard and the Marines were deployed there in the first place is gone. So why are they still there? There are a couple of reasons, I think. 1. The Donald wants them there because he can, and because he thinks it makes him look like a tough guy. 2. They may be planning something else and they think they will need them again.
Point #2 is leftist dreams as usual but point number 1 is something i can answer.
If i were to choose between deranged lunatics burning, killing people on cameras and being let go free by the Left vs a man who wants to look like a tough guy .... i would choose the tough guy anytime compared to the lunacies we have been offered.

:ROFL: So when every politician say something like "I'm Christian" you believe them?
How come you don't believe the illegal flow of people into the borders of USA?
Too much leftist programming for you to let that go?

I will take a confused Christian's values anytime of the day compared to the confused Leftist patients who don't know biology and reality.

It stops at Obama that's where it stops. Get back to "don't ask don't tell" and then we can pretend to not be too crazy.
