Don’t cite Leviticus 18 if you’re going to ignore Leviticus 19.

eviti­cus 18:22 is a per­ma­nent moral law that has not been abro­gat­ed by the New Covenant. “Thou shalt not lie with a man as with a woman; it is an abom­i­na­tion.” But you have no right to cite that verse if you’re going to ignore the equal­ly per­ma­nent moral law of Leviti­cus 19:34: “The stranger who sojourns with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as your­self; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.”

Oh, but Alt. You’re get­ting SJW and seam­less gar­ment on us here. These laws are of very dif­fer­ent moral weight. The Bible says that sodomy is an “abom­i­na­tion.” That’s strong. It does­n’t describe not wel­com­ing the stranger as an abom­i­na­tion.

Oh real­ly? Well, James 2:10 says: “Whoso­ev­er shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” With God there is no such thing as, “This com­mand­ment you must real­ly obey, but that one over there you can safe­ly ignore.”

And Jesus said that who­ev­er vio­lates even the least com­mand­ment, and teach­es oth­ers to do so, is least in the king­dom of heav­en (Matt. 5:19).

But you can’t real­ly say that the com­mand to wel­come the stranger is the “least” com­mand­ment in the first place, or some­how not an abom­i­na­tion as opposed to gay sex. Remem­ber the para­ble of the sheep and the goats. For every stranger you do not wel­come, you are not wel­com­ing Jesus. If you do not wel­come the stranger, you reject Christ, and you are a goat in dan­ger of the eter­nal fire of Hell.

I think it’s safe to say that God con­sid­ers not wel­com­ing the stranger an abom­i­na­tion. So if you’re going to be silent about what’s going on at the bor­der with many thou­sands of migrants being locked up in con­cen­tra­tion camps, then you also need to be qui­et about gay sex. This was the sin of Sodom, that in their abun­dance they did not help the poor and needy (Ezekiel 16:49).

What God com­mands we can read on the Stat­ue of Lib­er­ty:

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your hud­dled mass­es yearn­ing to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teem­ing shore.
Send these, the home­less, tem­pest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the gold­en door!

Putting the des­per­ate who seek a bet­ter life into con­cen­tra­tion camps does not make Amer­i­ca great again. It betrays Amer­i­ca; and more impor­tant­ly, it betrays Christ.
