They are using bible scripture to justify what they are doing to immigrant families?

2. In this case the International Criminal Court

might trump their Bible. Not just crimes against humanity... crimes against children !!
No they cannot descend lower.

3. This shouldn't be a surprise....this is their core!

It has its basis in the formation of the Southern Baptist Convention for the sole fight for slavery...they justified their bigotry then....they will justify the same now!!!

4. But they never say where in the Bible

6. Sessions did.

Persons who violate the law of our nation are subject to prosecution. I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13 to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained them for the purpose of order," Sessions said. "Orderly and lawful processes are good in themselves and protect the weak and lawful."

He called on religious leaders to "speak up strongly to urge anyone who would come here to apply lawfully, to wait their turn and not violate the law."

Later Thursday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders doubled down on Sessions' comments, saying it is "very biblical to enforce the law."

"That is actually repeated a number of times throughout the Bible," she said, responding to a question about Sessions' comments about Scripture's supporting the administration's policies.

8. Oh, that part.

I thought he was talking about Trump when he said that.

Pretty generic. I'm sure hitler said the same thing

[applegrove]

5. Apparently it is from Romans. Romans also justified slavery and was

used for that purpose for hundreds of years.

[VOX]

7. Our bygone Southern "aristocracy" used bible scripture to justify chattel slavery for 250 years.

That Bronze-Age text has likely brought more suffering than it has comfort.

[peggysue2]

9. Of course, they are.

The Bible has been used to justify all manner of hatred, sexism and bigotry. Even slavery.

So Christian, these folks. They're even willing to throw Jesus under the bus.
