Okay.
Thinking it was just me, I endeavored to find out why people who insist they are Bible believing Christians in a Christian Nation would demand that the refugee children from Central America be sent back when it is clear some will be facing certain death.
These same people, who now demand the government support our veterans and the children already in the country, seem to be the same ones who supported those in congress who voted against things like child nutrition in schools, Public Assistance programs that parents use to feed and clothe their kids, programs to train veterans for a civilian life, programs to prevent or end the egregious number of homeless veterans, and money for the VA to improve conditions in those hospitals.
Suddenly, what they turned their backs on before is the motivation for their anti-refugee children now.
They cheered on and voted for those people who did the above, but they ignore that now as they grasp for justification for their, to say the least, ant-refugee children rhetoric
So, I reviewed the Bible in my mind the other day while walking the dog so that perhaps I could find their justification.
I found it in the story of Noah.
God made two statements to Noah justifying the flood.
“I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth” . Genesis 6:13
And
“ I am going to bring flood waters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it”. Genesis 6:15
This did not just apply to adults, but the kids were included; kids too young to be evil, or violent. We are talking even kids newly born and those still in the womb.
Totally innocent children.
