"God, I thank You that I am not like other men—liars, lawbreakers, deceivers, or even this publisher who raised money for that sinner's family." The discussion surrounding Samuel Sey's detention and impending deportation has been some of the most disgusting I have ever seen around here, and that's saying something. Protestia initially reported what sources told us (and, obviously, what we hoped was true): that Sey's detention stemmed from an immigration paperwork problem rather than his error. When DHS contradicted that account, we updated our reporting. Ordinarily, no big deal. Outlets update info all the time. And whether or not Sey was at fault, and no matter his legal status, his family is clearly in serious financial need. Yet what do we see? Supposed Christians demanding apologies/retractions for our directing potential donations to Sey's family because the claim that he was here legally is being contradicted. Some people are suggesting that his family is profiting from this somehow, or that Protestia was "fundraising for a lawbreaker." Since when did Christian charity become conditional upon innocence, ideological agreement, or personal approval? What Bible are you reading? Christ commands us to love our enemies (Luke 6:27–36). Paul commands us to feed them when they're hungry (Romans 12:20). James condemns those who withhold material assistance from needy brothers (James 2:15–17). Proverbs 24:17 forbids rejoicing when an enemy falls. Yet we seem to have no end of online professing Christians (including pastors!) seemingly delighted by Sey's predicament and demanding financial assistance for his family be shut off. And here's the particularly grotesque irony: Many of these men acknowledge that their black, Ghanaian-born theological opponent is their brother in Christ, while carrying on as if Scripture has nothing to say about this. But the household of God isn't segregated by ancestry, no matter how much some seem to want it to be. And Galatians 6:10 commands us to do good to all, especially those of the household of faith. Sey's wife and children didn't violate immigration law. And even if Sey knowingly broke the law, that doesn't disqualify him from Christian charity. If the fundraiser contains inaccurate information, correct it. Donors deserve the truth. But don't pretend that wrongdoing (even deliberate, which has not yet been demonstrated) eliminates a family's needs. Jesus condemned the Pharisees for neglecting the weightier matters of the law: justice, mercy, and faithfulness (Matthew 23:23). Yet some of you are so eager to "gotcha" Sey for apparently breaking the law that you've forgotten the law of Christ, or that you can uphold immigration law without abandoning Christian charity. Protestia will always err on the side of Christian charity. We have a history of financially supporting people who don't like us (and have openly lied about us) when they truly need it. In this case, I'd argue that if your support for the Sey family's obvious financial need turns on whether the immigration problems were his fault, you should probably keep your money. God doesn't want it.
