People have a way of using things out of context for their own purpose(s).

Yeah, and I've noticed that among the Christians who are revisionist historians, as soon as you bring up Romans 13 and the American Revolution, they change the subject.

I'll note that David Hoffman has yet again not understood what is being said. The Christian, or at least the New Testament view towards immigration is completely counter to what the government is now doing. That's why there is verse after verse that talks about welcoming the stranger and alien. See the following:
Matthew 25:31-46 – “…I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”
Luke 4:16-21 – “…Bring good news to the poor…release to the captives…sight to the blind...let the oppressed go free.”
Romans 12:13 – “Mark of the true Christian: “…Extend hospitality to strangers…”
II Corinthians 8:13-15 – “It is a question of a fair balance between your present abundance and their need…”
Ephesians 2:11-22 – “So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God.”
Hebrews 11 – “By faith Abraham…set out for a place…not knowing where he was going.”
Hebrews 13:1-2 – “…show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels…”
James 2:14-17 – “What good is it…if you say you have faith but do not have works?”
I John 3:18 – “…Let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.”
Yet the so-called Christians don't do that, because it doesn't fit their political agenda.
Matthew 25:31-46 – “…I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”
Luke 4:16-21 – “…Bring good news to the poor…release to the captives…sight to the blind...let the oppressed go free.”
Romans 12:13 – “Mark of the true Christian: “…Extend hospitality to strangers…”
II Corinthians 8:13-15 – “It is a question of a fair balance between your present abundance and their need…”
Ephesians 2:11-22 – “So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God.”
Hebrews 11 – “By faith Abraham…set out for a place…not knowing where he was going.”
Hebrews 13:1-2 – “…show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels…”
