Piper’s Immigration Verse Sparks Faithful Pushback
Faith Facts
- Scripture demands sojourners assimilate through faith, circumcision, diet, and obedience to Israel’s laws.
- Ancient Israel tolerated zero illegal entry, holding foreigners to strict regulations.
- Biblical nations protected culture, rejecting demographic takeover or pagan influx.
Reformed Baptist leader John Piper quoted Leviticus 19:34 on X, urging love for strangers, but drew sharp conservative criticism linking it to unchecked U.S. immigration.
Responders like Pastor Jack Hibbs emphasized ancient Israel’s requirement for foreigners to convert and follow God’s laws fully.
“The foreigner who came among the children of Israel, were to be accepted in as converts, and not to be mistreated, but to be treated as brothers, even though they were immigrant foreigners. It was their faith in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that was the criteria,”
said Pastor Jack Hibbs.
“The tolerance for illegal migration in ancient Israel was zero. A sojourner had to follow laws about circumcision, food, marriage — all of them,”
noted Allie Beth Stuckey.
Leaders like Dale Partridge warn against applying Israel’s orderly rules to America’s chaotic border crisis, calling it national theft and invasion violating God’s commandments.
Dale Partridge added,
“Immigration without biblical assimilation is a form of invasion.”
Stand with biblical truth: Defend America’s God-given sovereignty, secure borders, and insist on assimilation to safeguard faith, family, and freedom for future generations.
