Don’t eat cheeseburgers 🍔? Don’t do any work on the Sabbath? Take care of the widow and the orphan? Show hospitality to the alien among you, because a wandering Aramean was your father, and you were aliens yourself? Do justice, love mercy, walk humbly with your God? Do to others what you want done to you?Lauren Boebert explaining Israel: “God owes Israel 7 years of Old Testament law.

Following the law of Moses leads to 7 years of “trials and tribulations”? According to the prophets, failure to follow that law, failure to seek justice for the least and the lowest, the alien, the widow, the orphan, the poor, is what led to the Exile. “Old Testament Law” was supposed to provide such a shining example of justice and equity it would produce Isaiah’s vision of God’s holy mountain, to which all nations would be drawn, and want to learn from as the way to live in peace and harmony. That’s the vision of the “Peaceable Kingdom” so prominent in early American Puritan history.
Boebert has no idea what she’s talking about.
