Oh I agree on how refugees should act. I disagree on the amount that Jesus would take in. He would want people to care as many as possible.
Yes, I agree with you. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says the same thing. It states that countries should take in as many people as they are able to, but should also have high expectations regarding the attitudes and behavior of the refugees. Jesus would also support helping people in their own nations so they can remain there.
A big problem plaguing many Christians is that they think words like Love and Sacrifice mean to bend over and let everyone have their way with them. This is wrong. The teachings of Jesus require incredible strength and discipline to follow and the will and high expectations that others will also follow his teachings.
I believe a Christian like Martin Luther King Jr. is a strong example of Christianity in action. Certainly he was flawed, but he was strong willed and worked tirelessly for justice. He also held everyone, including the struggling and oppressed people he fought for, to a higher standard of morality.
