What Does the Bible Say About Illegal Immigration? My Friendly Response to a Well-known Pentecostal Pastor

Apologetics, Border Patrol, Christianity, cultural apologetics, Gospel, government, ICE, illegal immigration, Immigrant, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, open borders, Politics, Race, Racism, Undocumented
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). While I share his concern for showing compassion, I believe his argument stems from biblical silence and fails to demonstrate that current immigration laws violate God’s law. The Argument from Silence in Biblical Interpretation Pastor Omar used passages like Leviticus 19:33-34, Exodus 22:21, Deuteronomy 10:18-19, Zechariah 7:10, Matthew 25:35, Hebrews 13:2,…

Truth, Love, & Rage Bait

Apologetics, Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk Assassination, Christianity, exploitation, Gospel, Gossip, https://www.facebook.com/JohnDFerrer, John Ferrer, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Politics, Slander, Tyler Robinson
Thousands of amateur investigators across the interwebs are scouring the Charlie Kirk assassination case. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. Many of them pose sincere questions and innocent curiosity. There should be no problem with a healthy exercise of free speech, free inquiry, and the marketplace of ideas. Mainstream narratives deserve a fair share of testing since they can’t all be trusted. But being popular, mainstream, or conventional never made anything false. Sometimes the truth is so widely recognized it becomes the majority view. Truth isn’t always sensationalistic. Sometimes it’s boring and predictable. Truth doesn’t care to entertain anyone. It just is what it is. But not every question is a fair question either. Sometimes questions are cloaked accusation, mean-spirited insinuation, manipulative suggestion, and trick questions designed not to reveal…

Legislating Religion Or Morality?

1st Amendment, Charlie Kirk, Christian Nationalism, church and state, John Ferrer, Legislating Morality, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Politics, Religious Freedom, Theocracy
It’s often said that “You shouldn’t legislate morality!” But, as Frank Turek argues ably, “all laws legislate morality.” He’s got a point. Legislating morality is inevitable. The question isn’t whether to legislate morality, but whose morality to legislate.[1] This predicament sets the stage for a genuine power struggle. Whose moral vision should win that tug-of-war? The outcome has yet to be determined on this side of eternity. Legislating morality is unavoidable. Legislating religion, however, remains undecided. Historically, the United States has been a majority Christian nation, informed by broadly Christian values, ethics, and worldview. The laws of this land, unsurprisingly, have often reflected a judicious and humanitarian outlook rooted in biblical Christianity. That means a growing recognition of sanctity of human life, the presumption of innocence, and freedom of religion.[2]…

The False Dilemma of Worldly Philosophies

Apologetics, Christianity, college, Culture, Gospel, https://drowenanderson.com/, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Marxism, myth of neutrality, Owen Anderson, Politics, Worldview
“We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.” 2 Corinthians 10:5 One of my goals as a Christian and as a tenured full professor of philosophy and religion at our nation’s largest research university (ASU) is to help Christian parents and students understand what to expect if they attend classes teaching radical ideologies—DEI, LGBTQ+, Antifa, decolonization, anti-settler, anti-white, and anti-heteronormativity theories. Christians know that such universities would never permit a Christian to use class time for evangelism. The radical Marxist professor seems to think that the First Amendment guarantees them a job as a professor, but it doesn’t guarantee them that anyone will attend their classes or programs. So how did we get here, and what can…

A Case Against Theocracy in 20 Points

1st Amendment, Apologetics, Charlie Kirk, Christianity, church and state, Gospel, John Ferrer, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Politics, Religious Freedom, Theocracy
If you watched the Memorial Service for Charlie Kirk, and reports indicate about a third of America did just that, then you saw a lot of people singing songs to God, Christians sermonizing, and political figures politicizing. Church and State were both on full display. This wasn’t a funeral, mind you. Nor was it a church service or a political rally. It was kind of all three, which made it a unique event in recent history. Some of the speakers shared the Gospel, giving an invitation for salvation, and calling people to follow-Christ with everything they’ve got, for their own sake, the sake of their families, and the sake of the country. There were some excellent Christian messages showing a principled Christian engagement in the political sphere in way that…

Thank You Charlie for Mixing Faith and Politics with Alisa Childers & Natasha Crain

Was Charlie Kirk’s memorial service a “dangerous display of Christian Nationalism” like some media outlets claim? While Frank is on his college tour in honor of Charlie, our friends Alisa Childers and Natasha Crain step in to host the program and break down the false narratives taking place on social media and discuss how Christians can respond when accused of being “too political.” Along the way, they tackle big questions like: How has Charlie Kirk’s death impacted Alisa and Natasha on a personal and professional level? What does it mean to be called a “Christian Nationalist”? Is the United States headed toward a revival, or deeper division? Should Christians stay out of politics? Was Charlie Kirk killed for his political or Christian beliefs? What is a critical mistake many Christians…

Class Guide: How to Avoid Filth

Apologetics, Christianity, college, Gospel, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Owen Anderson, Owen Anderson.substack.com, Politics
As students around the country get ready to go back to school, our universities are eagerly awaiting their next round of freshmen. If you’re a parent or student, you will need to know how to find classes that help you become wise and lead a virtuous life. As a professor, I can provide you with some ideas. First, go to your university’s course schedule and see what is offered. If a class interests you, check out its syllabus. If the professor will not make their syllabus public, that is a bad sign. You can email and request it. What you want to see is the reading list and the kinds of lecture materials that are used. That will tell you if there is bias. For example, take a look at…

Secular Professor Tactics 101

As a parent or student it will help you to know that in many cases your secular professors have a strategy. They have a goal. A strategy is the big-picture plan to win or achieve that goal. Tactics are the step-by-step methods used to carry it out. I’ve told you before that you can see their goal by how they live their own lives. But now let’s look at their classroom tactics. If you’re a parent or a prospective student, you need to understand the tactics of the secular professor. For many of them, “winning” means leading students to adopt a radical leftist ideology—either by outright agreement or by slow, subtle influence. Agreement isn’t always demanded immediately. Sometimes, all they want is your gradual surrender of confidence in anything else. …
