We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

That link was about Lindsey Graham being booed by Trump supporters for being vaguely progressive in comparison to them.

Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.

I never claimed to be a christian. I used to, but am no longer.
You do realize that Romans is not all encompassing? It is not considered a sin to ignore some laws? Do you think it was a sin when Germans hid jews in their attics instead of reporting them?

This one isn't even true.
Answer my question. Is it a sin, under Romans, to have hid the jews from the nazis, despite Ceasars law requiring citizens to report jews? If it is, then I don't care for your understanding of sin, and nobody should. If it isn't, then you have no argument about modern migration problems.
So your answer is no, it was not a sin?
I am an atheist too. I don't believe in sin either. My question is not "does sin exist?". My question is, within christianity, would it be considered a sin for german citizens to hide jews from the nazis?
The answer is very obviously no. You can't just use Romans as a gotcha to defend any and all laws that hit the books.
Go ask your priest next time you go to church then. Ask them if it would have been sinful for the german citizens to hide the jews, and failing to uphold Ceasars law.
I am aware. Ask next time you go. Ask them if it was sinful to protect jews from nazi law.
If I did, you wouldn't believe me if I told you they said the exact thing I already told you.
