The topic of immigration is boiling over these days. It’s complex and emotional, especially when it affects our communities and families. Recently, a well-known Puerto Rican Pentecostal pastor named Omar Lugo  presented a Facebook video and a written post on this issue, citing various Bible verses that discuss how we should treat foreigners. His approach seemed to suggest that human laws regarding immigration shouldn’t matter because divine laws are above them (without explaining how they directly contradict God’s law).

Immigration is one of the most emotionally charged issues of our time, but what does the Bible really say about borders and deportations? Are borders unbiblical, or do they play a necessary role in human flourishing? And can governments enforce laws without violating Jesus’ teachings? In this episode, Frank goes straight to Scripture to discuss one of today’s most heated cultural debates, exposing how key Bible passages are often taken out of context to support mass immigration narratives that the text itself does not teach. Tune in as Frank lays out why the Bible consistently affirms borders and answers questions like: Was Jesus an illegal immigrant? What are four simple rules for interpreting the Bible correctly? Why do people confuse biblical commands to individuals with commands to governments? How can…
