Top 10 Reasons Why Borders are Biblical

﻿

Immigration is one of the most emotionally charged issues of our time, but what does the Bible really say about borders and deportations? Are borders unbiblical, or do they play a necessary role in human flourishing? And can governments enforce laws without violating Jesus’ teachings? In this episode, Frank goes straight to Scripture to discuss one of today’s most heated cultural debates, exposing how key Bible passages are often taken out of context to support mass immigration narratives that the text itself does not teach.

Tune in as Frank lays out why the Bible consistently affirms borders and answers questions like:

Was Jesus an illegal immigrant?

What are four simple rules for interpreting the Bible correctly?

Why do people confuse biblical commands to individuals with commands to governments?

How can misplaced empathy–Toxic Empathy–lead to unintended negative consequences?

What role does the government play according to Romans 13?

Why are borders necessary for civilization to function?

Is religion the cause of most wars?

Does biblical love mean unconditional approval?

What are Augustine’s order of loves and how do they help stabilize society?

Why are global governments so dangerous?

If you’ve ever felt confused by how Scripture is used in the immigration debate, this episode is for you! Tune in as Frank explains why borders and justice aren’t opposed to compassion, but work together when Scripture is understood correctly. And because all ten biblical reasons for borders can’t fit into one program, this conversation sets the stage for a follow-up episode you won’t want to miss!
