There is a point where one should discriminate. You have a mission: if it is not part of the mission you should not do it. If you are building aerobic base, you do not lift heavy or sprint. Your diet cannot be vegan and paleo. In the ancient times, people could move freely between nations, but they needed to support themselves wherever they went. The parable of the prodigal son has in it what was obvious to all in those times: if you ran out of money in a strange land no one would care for you. You would starve.
You need to return to where your family and blood and tribe is.
For we are in nations, nations have boundaries.
24From there he set out and went away to the region of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know he was there. Yet he could not escape notice, 25but a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately heard about him, and she came and bowed down at his feet. 26Now the woman was a Gentile, of Syrophoenician origin. She begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27He said to her, “Let the children be fed first, for it is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.” 28But she answered him, “Sir, even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.” 29Then he said to her, “For saying that, you may go — the demon has left your daughter.” 30So she went home, found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
31Then he returned from the region of Tyre, and went by way of Sidon towards the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis. 32They brought to him a deaf man who had an impediment in his speech; and they begged him to lay his hand on him. 33He took him aside in private, away from the crowd, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue. 34Then looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” 35And immediately his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. 36Then Jesus ordered them to tell no one; but the more he ordered them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. 37They were astounded beyond measure, saying, “He has done everything well; he even makes the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”
Christ was sent to the Jews. Not the Gentiles. He had compassion for two Gentiles, two pagans. Note that he talked to them in private: for his public ministry was not to such. It was three great apostles: Philip, Peter and Paul, who evangelized the Decapolis, Tyre… and Ethiopia.
Nations are allowed to have boundaries, and we are expected to discriminate between those who are closer to us and those which are further away. Our first duty, as men, is to provide for our family. Those who do not are to be considered idolaters.
All nations and people have the right to maintain their boundaries and decide who they will let in or who they will let out. It is not wise or righteous to state that the USA should change its immigration laws because of Canadian ideas of universalism (Which are not truly Canadian, but the globalist Grits). Or New Zealand to set the immigration laws for Australia — who sends back to us the felons born in our nation, if we want them or not: if their family is in Australia nor not.
The universalists do not like the hard fact that Christ was sent to preach to the Jews. The Judeo-Churchian does not like the fact that the Jews rejected him and killed him.
They see this passage as unfair.
But they run on sentiment. A fine thing, but not one that allows a nation to survive. For immigration all too often becomes invasion.
