Lehigh Valley meeting on helping refugees draws tea party concerns about terrorists
One man asked if the group takes care to make sure Christian Syrians and Muslim Syrians aren’t in neighboring apartments because of possible animosity.
Abbas Khalaf, a case manager with Lutheran Children and Family Service, said many Christian Syrians arrived in the Lehigh Valley about 20 years ago and they are helping the Muslim Syrian refugees who are coming now.
“Most of the refugees that are arriving are Syrian Muslims, but most of the help I’m getting for them is from the Christian community,” Khalaf said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the above quote was true, why are they refugees: Christians in Syria can help them? This gives us two options:
- The Muslims are not true refugees but part of a government planned Muslim invasion.
- Christians treat Muslims like human beings.
Option 1 is self-evident. Option 2 deserves some elaboration. We see how Muslims treat Christians but Christians have been misled that we should love our enemy. So our churches support Muslims as a means of charity and Biblical principle. All lives matter but there comes a time when you have to stand up with Sacred honor and our founding principles under God.
Luke 22
He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’ ; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.”
The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.”
“That’s enough!” he replied.
I do not want a war. But the war is upon us. You can defend yourself, your family and your friends or you can bow to the altar of the state. Our faith will be tested as will our actions. Our forefathers not only gave us Liberty, they showed us how to fight with Sacred honor for the right reasons.
