From The Washington Post-
Last month, Attorney General Jeff Sessions declared
that if immigrants enter the United States without documentation and
with a child, “we will prosecute you and that child will be separated
from you as required by law.” In recent weeks, as Americans have,
rightly, become increasingly outraged by this practice, being carried
out in our names, he has tried using the Bible to justify these actions:
“I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in
Romans 13,” Sessions said, “to obey the laws of the government because
God has ordained the government for his purposes.”
It was a poor scriptural choice. As Washington Post columnist Elizabeth Bruenig wrote
last week, Sessions breaks from Christian teaching, “inventing a faith
that makes order itself the highest good and authorizes secular
governments to achieve it.”
