Protesting the ICE Pastor

When Anti-ICE protesters disrupted a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota it was indeed sacrilege and every Christian should be offended.

However, we would never call on the US government to prosecute such people. We don't go to Egypt for help. They should have been greeted and offered hospitality.

But why aren't more Christians outraged when ICE invades church property and blocks access to services in order to arrest people or to collect names and other information? The latter has occurred on multiple documented occasions with undercover agents infiltrating church services. Or what about the countless instances of ICE personnel standing outside church buildings armed and sometimes in balaclavas? Why aren't Christians upset by this?

Despite declarations made by the Trump administration about the right to enter churches, ICE has more or less avoided invading actual buildings. Since so much of what this near-paramilitary force does is legally questionable, to enter without a warrant would only lead to more judicial scrutiny and public criticism. Trump and Bondi don't want a showdown with the Supreme Court.

Make no mistake, the Anti-ICE protest in St. Paul was a gift to Trump and allows his regime to pivot away from coverage regarding the murder-execution of Renee Good - and to downplay and spin the draconian tactics of ICE, which is starting to look more and more like a secret police or Gestapo-inspired organisation.

Of course I've heard no Christian voices express concern, astonishment, or outrage over the notion that this Southern Baptist pastor is the top ICE official in St. Paul. This demonstrates not only the degraded nature of this SBC congregation but the ethical collapse of Christian leaders in the United States. If one of your pastors works for ICE - leave that congregation. Your congregation is led by morally bankrupt and blind fools who apparently can't tell the difference between the gospel and the filth found in a street gutter. I was reminded of this today when listening to Michael Geer of the Pennsylvania Family Institute justify the ICE mission in light of Acts 17 - since Paul (he argues) refers to nations, and nations have borders, it is therefore legitimate to protect and enforce them.

This is where the spin is at its worst. This shouldn't be a legal issue for Christians. It's a moral one and while I expect Babylon to defend its borders, I take issue with any Christian who will don the badge of Babylon and with violence arrest, chain, and cage other people - let alone other professing Christians. That's treason. Not to America but to Zion, the Kingdom of Christ. They should be put out of the Church.

Christian leaders like Geer are simply false teachers who promote idolatry.

Shame on that congregation that people from the street had to come in to protest this man - this phoney shepherd of God's people. The congregation should have been protesting his appointment and rising up en masse in the face of this fraudulent man daring to handle God's Word.

That's the real sacrilege here.

This whole episode just leaves one's head spinning. You can't make this stuff up. It's truly stranger than fiction.

And again, everyone is talking about Greenland, Venezuela, ICE, Minnesota - and the Epstein scandal has faded away.
