The wire traps, from which a 19-year-old pregnant woman had to be cut free, are part of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's (R) ghoulish border plan to keep migrants out.
She had to be cut out of the wire and miscarried soon after.
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matthew 7
33 “‘When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. 34 The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

19 And you are to love those who are foreigners

14 “You must not defraud a hired worker who is in need and poor, whether one of your brothers or a foreign resident in your land, within your cities. … 17 Do not deprive the foreigner or the fatherless of justice,

I do think Christ had some choice things to say about these “Christians”:
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
Matthew 7
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ 44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ 45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ 46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Christians give Jesus such a bad rep. He was pretty based tbh
Jesus didn’t invent Christianity tho, it’s Paul who laid the foundation and ultimately, Constantine made Christianity into a religion we know today.
But if you look a bit, you’ll find a bunch of “heretical” Christian books from before the Councils and the development of the canon.
Like the Gospel of Thomas etc etc
And Jesus is pretty based on those as well.
That does not sound like the American “Supply Side Jesus” though…
Don’t forget Ezekiel 23:20
