Ruth and Naomi Leave Moab, 1860, by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld (1794-1872).
Last week we looked the immigration stance of both the Roman Church-State and the liberal protestant Social Justice Warriors (SJWs), and found that they were largely similar. In fact, the language used by the liberal protestants was substantially the same as that used by Rome, showing that the liberal protestant scholarship is in this case, as in so many others, unoriginal and derivative.
Both the Romanists and the liberals charge the American people with racism. Both the Romanists and the SJWs believe in mass, taxpayer-subsidized immigration. Both groups base their immigration platform, at least in part, on a twisted interpretation of Matthew 2:13-21, the account of Joseph taking his family and fleeing to Egypt to escape the murderous Herod.
That the Romanists and the SJW liberal protestants would get is wrong was not a surprise to me. Both groups begin with a faulty view of Scripture, which in turn leads them down the wrong path when formulating their teachings on immigration.
