The Bible Doesn’t Teach Love Your Enemies to the Neglect of Law and Order
The reality that there are professing Bible-believing Christians who live in hypocrisy is something which the mainstream of society reminds us of constantly.
Yet there are many others in better graces with the mainstream which quote the Bible when it suits them whose hypocrisy is exceedingly great. These often selectively quote from the Bible in attempting to vilify righteous law and order being carried out and attempting to prevent miscreants from receiving the consequences which their lawless actions warrant.
They often cry “love your enemies” to tell us this means being soft on crime, they claim that being a Good Samaritan could never ever involve hurting anyone, and they claim that loving the stranger means opening the USA’s borders to a flood of illegal immigrants whom they seek to make feel at home there. They also call it hate to not let children get taught about LGBT perversion at school (I don’t know what Bible phrase they might twist for this claim).
This is coming from people who know next to nothing of the Bible’s contents and don’t practically seek to live by the Bible’s counsel in their day to day lives at all.
The Bible is actually filled with examples of righteous people killing criminals in upholding law and order. God Himself ordained the death penalty for murderers in Genesis 9:6.
Moses was a righteous defender rather than a murderer in defending the Hebrew slave who was being violently oppressed by an Egyptian. Moses and many other Biblical examples prove that being a Good Samaritan might mean killing a violent criminal in the process of attempting to harm others. The Good Samaritan himself might have killed the violent robbers of the wounded man he helped if he had shown up to the scene a little earlier (and I think Al Sharpton would have been calling for his arrest if the robbers were a certain skin color and Al Sharpton had been alive a lot earlier)
Those who enter a nation without permission are invaders. The proper process of law and order was obviously not to be set aside when God commanded in Deuteronomy 10:19: “Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.” The standard practice in ancient times regarding refugees and other immigrants was to get permission from the king of a nation to come and dwell in that nation. That is why Jacob’s household had an interview with Egypt’s Pharaoh before they settled in Egypt (Genesis 47:1-4); and why the ancient Israelites asked for permission from other nations to pass through their land (Numbers 20:14-21).
It would be totally consistent with the Bible’s teaching to give a cup of cold water to an illegal immigrant to quench their thirst as they were about to be deported. And teaching children about deviant sex is just plain child abuse.
Yet they call opposing their agenda “hate.” It figures. It would be less hypocritical if they didn’t try to use the Bible in their defense of crime and perversion.
