Man's will overriding the will of God.
Take a look at world events including the building of a wall. Would it not be better to help build a better life for fleeing people in their home and native lands rather than plunder and destabilize them pretending it is out of safety concerns when it is really for economic and political gain? Has history only been about white vs all the rest? Did God create only the white race? Perhaps there is irony in the wall. Consider if Yellowstone finally blows plunging North America into years of non-stop winter. How convenient for the Central and South American continent to have a wall to keep us out.
'Isn’t the New Testament full of entreaties to help the less fortunate, to support those in trouble, to aid the stranger? Isn’t this season supposed to represent the opportunity for renewal of a generous spirit, a compassionate disposition, a merciful outlook?'... Cynthia Tucker
'Why aren’t those who celebrate the religious traditions of Christmas more outraged? Isn’t compassion what those religious traditions represent?'... Cynthia Tucker

Hell has walls and iron bars. To keep evildoers confined.
Heaven has walls and gates to keep evildoers out.
Huge difference!

In Ezekiel God wanted a wall built around Israel to protect Jews

There are plenty of references in the Bible where Jesus told people to build a wall around their cities.

In the Bible it does say we should treat every foreigner with fairness and receive them with welcoming arms. It also says that the foreigner should respect our laws. So... Finish the whole bible before you speak and use God for politics.
Hell and Heaven have walls, and its owner (our Heavenly Father) won't let anyone enter there without His permission!

Yes I see your point . It is easier to build a wall than help others live in their own society they need not run from in order to survive? So much for loving neighbour as self.
And there are no closed gates. Rev 21: 25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

Even the Pope has gone on record saying we should be building bridges, not walls... But I guess some folks think they know more about 'reading the Bible' than he does?

While the wall would impede the movement of people, the scientific fact is that if Yellowstone blows, the whole world will be affected, not just the USA/North America. So the wall won't help anyone in this case.
Useless wall. Do not build. Hire people to turn people away if you must, but a wall is simply wasting good money after bad.

But look at the party you can have when it is eventually torn down and look at the money to be made selling chunks of it online. Makes Berlin look like a kid selling lemonade.

"Choice" has been determined to be the leading cause of death in 2018 with roughly 42 million lost. That's a lot of sex.

Are you saying Tim that we all need a good talk about the birds and bees;
That the Good Lord had rules for a reason?

It really is too bad that the Church still won't accept contraception today which would help curb this number, immensely. Preaching about abstinence and abstinence alone is like telling a priest not to have sex with little boys... Both failed policy.

Is that not a form of contraception?
