MAGA: "gotta check the old testament! God always hated those foreign types...."

Old Testament: "You shall treat the foreigner who journeys with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God." -Leviticus 19:34

MAGA: "dammit!! Well.. Let's just deprive them of rights until they're so miserable they just leave?!"

Old Testament: "You shall have the same rule for the foreigner and for the native, for I am the Lord your God.” - Leviticus 24:22

MAGA: "Wuh?!? huh?!?? Well!! My old pastor said a rule didn't have full weight unless God said it more than once!!"

Old Testament: "There shall be just one law for the native and for the foreigner who journeys among you.” - Exodus 12:49

MAGA: "BUT IT'S NOT THREE TIMES IS IT?? THREE'S A GODLY NUMBER!!"

Old Testament: "One law and one rule shall be for you and for the foreigner who journeys with you" - Numbers 15:16

MAGA: "NGGGHHHHH!!!!! CUT THEM OFF!!"

Old Testament: "You shall not oppress a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the foreigners who are in your land within your towns. " - Deuteronomy 24:14

MAGA: "ARGHHHHH!! MAKE IT STOP!!!"

    That's the old testament god. I believe in Supply-Side Jesus.

    Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a foreigner (Greek: xenos) and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. - Matthew 25:34-36

    etc

    Supply Side Jesus doesn't know his own book, to the surprise of absolutely no-one
