About this deal

And this raises the question of how do we (can we?) translate this from a covenantally- based society to one in which is there exists a variety of beliefs and practices, and one in which some of the “strangers” have chosen to create their own communities? Reply

Who do you invite as guests? Have you ever invited strangers home? Why or why not? If you have, how did you meet these strangers? It is a widely-held view that people must claim asylum in the first country they come to. But it’s not actually true. There is no such requirement. THE SCOPE of who it is that God means to invite to the feast, you see, is not ours to define. We are not put in charge of the guest list.

Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus, greet you." 20. 2 Kings 4:8 Avoid assumptions at all times. Making assumptions based on looks alone can be dangerous and lead to unfair judgement. For example, you can look at another person’s attire and assume they are well-off and snobbish. However, this would be an unfair assessment as you have no idea if all their money has been squandered on their apparel, nor could you presume their character is unkind. FOR THE LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who … defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing. If you really changeyour ways and your actions and deal with each other justly, if you do not oppressthe foreigner, the fatherless or the widow and do not shed innocent bloodin this place, and if you do not follow other godsto your own harm, then I will let you live in this place, in the landI gave your ancestorsfor ever and ever. Jeremiah 7:5-7 Revelation 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “See the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them as their God; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them.”

provided (of course) that the stranger has had a wash within the last few days before coming into my house. Perhaps I should have been more specific. The “most pressing problem” is not how to deal with the issue in general terms. It is to do with the appalling consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. ReplyThe Bible is quite clear on the importance of showing hospitality to visitors. One of the most famous examples of this is when Abraham welcomed three strangers into his tent and offered them food and drink. THAT IS our vocation: to convert … the enemy into a guest and to create the free and fearless space where brotherhood and sisterhood can be formed and fully experienced. Unfortunately authorities that voted to bring in immigrants discard their responsibility to follow up on the behaviour of the immigrants. And you shall not strip your vineyard bare, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the Lord your God." Bible verses about Hospitality 16. Acts 16:15

What is the relationship between studying Torah in the Beit Midrash and inviting guests home? Why are they compared? You shall have the same rule for the sojourner and for the native, for I am the Lord your God." 26. Mark 9:41 We should be clear that, contrary to what is often claimed, there is no requirement for refugees to claim asylum in the first safe country they come to. https://fullfact.org/immigration/refugees-first-safe-country/ Reply

Cities of refuge were available to Israelites and foreigners in cases of accidental murder. Numbers 35:15
