Especially towards refugees. God said through the prophets in several places in the OT that Israel was to be compassionate toward refugees because they were refugees from Egypt. I just think as christians the starting pace for us should be compassion. Something that seems sadly lacking out there.


I cannot seem to find any passages in the OT concerning "refugees", in fact I don't think this word even appears in the Bible. Israel is told concerning the strangers that join themselves to the Jewish religion, to have compassion.

But when it comes to refugees (foreigners), those that hold to their false gods and paganism, that the Jewish people were told most of the "time" to totally destroy those who worship the false gods. Every man, woman, child, and even the livestock.

When I typed in my Bible search engine the word refugee, this is the scripture that comes up:

Quote:


28 The voice of those who flee and escape from the land of Babylon
Declares in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God,
The vengeance of His temple.

29
“Call together the archers against Babylon.
All you who bend the bow, encamp against it all around;
Let none of them escape.[c]
Repay her according to her work;
According to all she has done, do to her;
For she has been proud against the Lord,
Against the Holy One of Israel.
30
Therefore her young men shall fall in the streets,
And all her men of war shall be cut off in that day,” says the Lord.
31
“Behold, I am against you,
O most haughty one!” says the Lord God of hosts;
“For your day has come,
The time that I will punish you.[d]
32
The most proud shall stumble and fall,
And no one will raise him up;
I will kindle a fire in his cities,
And it will devour all around him.”




I would be interested to know what references exist in the OT that speak of refugees?

I recently saw a video of a woman who was raised in an Arab country and was a muslim her whole life. She had converted to Christianity and was sharing her testimony. She said that her whole life she heard the muslims condemn and speak evil of all infidels, (anyone not a muslim), and they thought it was an honor to kill infidels. These were muslims not involved in any form of terrorist group. She went on to say that when you lock your door at night it does not mean you hate your neighbors or that you hate those in the town that you live in. You lock your door to keep intruders out. She said she agreed with Trump and that these people should not be allowed in this country because of their ingrained beliefs. At any time they can decide to kill any infidels and they think they will be rewarded in heaven.

Its like a ticking time bomb that can go off anytime it wills.

Secondly, I saw an American soldier living in Iraq. He said he cannot go out at night in the town because the common people would not hesitate to kill him or his friends. He also went on to say; they don't want Americans in their country then he said why should I want them in my country.

I'm not saying that you don't help individuals out, but if someone has evil intent to harm you or your family one should be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove. ISIS is using the refugee crisis to sneak in under cover as sleeper cells.

Its been going on for the last 60+ years in Israel, ever since the signing of the Balfour Declaration, Israel has had constant terror groups sneak in and bomb innocent civilians. Why should we be naive thinking that it would never happen here.

At least its something to consider. For hundreds of years muslims have not been able to live together and there has always been tribal strife, so every one thinks they just move into the neighborhood now and all the centuries of hatred just magically disappears?

Any country has a right to protect its citizens against harm, in spite of the media distorting the matter with their liberal propaganda.
