1 Sentence: Ms Huckabee, Mr Sessions, & Jesus

[Jonathan Wolfman]

Jesus, too, was a dark-skinned child refugee. 

[Jonathan Wolfman]

Good weekend to all. 

[Rosigami]

Too many self-described "Christian" folks have lost sight of/choose to ignore/are simply deluded about that bit of information. 

[Rodney Roe]

Ali Velshi (MSNBC), who was a religion major as an undergraduate, countered the out-of-context biblical verses (which were also used by the Ku Klux Klan and Adolph Hitler) with a number of biblical verses that completely opposed the conclusions of Sessions. His guest, a Jesuit priest, agreed that everything preached by Jesus had to do with helping the sick, the weak, the persecuted, children, widows, orphans and the oppressed. An overall understanding of the teachings of Jesus is clearly not grasped - or ignored - by the likes of Ms.Sanders and the A.G.

[Jonathan Wolfman]

Thank you both!!

[Ron Powell]

Indeed he was!

This isn’t limited to Christians. A lot of Orthodox Jews are going through something parallel. 

[Jonathan Wolfman]

Kosh   on this issue?  I have numbers of former Orthodox colleagues and I have not heard anything like this from any of them Explain further, please. 

[koshersalaami]

The Orthodox Union hosted Jeff Sessions making a speech a few days ago to a very friendly reception, and this was after the family separations had become an issue. In looking this up, I find that the O.U. questioned the family separation issue the day after they hosted him, but I hadn’t yet read that when I initially commented, nor do I know how they can explain failing to raise this issue. 

[koshersalaami]

....raise this issue with him.

[Jonathan Wolfman]

No one's going to make the argument that US Orthodox Jewish orgs have much sac.
