Well articulated Chris!
#ordoamoris 1/3 It’s too much here to try to disentangle the whole history (from the ancient philosophers through Augustine and Aquinas and on even to Lewis) of the notion of the ordo amoris (“order of loves”). But we can say this: Of course parts of scripture and Christian tradition recognize the naturalness and appropriateness of gradations of affection from natural family, to closest associates, to compatriots, and on to the rest of the world etc. But parts of Scripture and Christian tradition—most importantly, Jesus himself, the early church, and the key visions of God’s ultimate future in the epistles and Revelation (which are to be anticipated by the Spirit in the present!)—also militate against this “naturalness.”

@FeserEdward @BoldlyCatholic Right but the guy telling the parable (his name is Jesus just fyi) does say a few chapters later “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple.” (14:26)

@IVMiles The specific argument in this thread is that you are arguing that nature ought to guide us on how to treat immigrants rather than the NT which according to you doesn’t offer a “policy” so we should follow nature.

@BillSmith777333 @IVMiles Miles would tell us the NT has no policy on those, so let me check with him.

@IVMiles Oh yes completely forgot about the Bible’s well known high view of human nature. Are you pelagian Miles?

@BillSmith777333 @IVMiles Sleight of hand. Bill, these issues you mention *are* being applied to government currently, so why not throw in immigration too?
