United we stand... Divided we fall!

Questions from a listener:

- A common argument I’m seeing in the online debate over ICE and its handling of immigrants is “What would Jesus do?” We are taught at a young age to ask this question but does it apply in scenarios that are not explicitly addressed in the Bible? Is it right for us to assume what Jesus would do considering how frequently he surprised his own disciples? Especially for the sake of an argument.

- It seems like the Bible is being injected into more and more political debates, which on the surface seems like a positive to me because of the exposure of the topics to broad audiences. However, it appears that non Christians and anti Christians are selecting scripture without any context and possibly without any true understanding of the verses to support their political beliefs. I feel like this underscores the importance of building your bible knowledge and equipping each other to engage in apologetics. Not necessarily to change the minds of those you are debating, but to effectively capture the mass audience of non believers or new believers that are on the side lines of social media and scrolling by. Should we, or should we not, as Christians, engage in online debates?

- Self proclaimed Christians are sowing division amongst themselves currently because of disagreements over topics such as handling of illegal immigrants, feeding/caring for the poor through government programs versus individual generosity, and challenging state and federal authority you disagree with. These are hot topics, not just because the news says so, but because it gives the devil a foothold in the spiritual war. Should we agree to disagree and move on, fight to the death, or meet somewhere in between?

These are great questions! Let us know what you think about our discussion on these topics.
