Sam Rohrer of the American Pastors Network appeared on TheDove TV’s “Focus Today” program yesterday, where he declared that the attack at Ohio State University earlier this week was rooted in that fact that government is allowing people to enter this country “who have no respect for our God.”

Rohrer stated that in the Old Testament, God instructed Israel to assimilate immigrants by “pointing them to the God of Heaven,” but America is failing to follow that basic rule and is now instead taking in “immigrants who have no interest in our God” and have “no desire to be a participant in what God has done here.”

When America took in immigrants and “then we presented them in the culture to this God, we were blessed,” Rohrer said, but now America no longer requires immigrants to know “the God of the Bible” and the government is actually working to “turn them against the God of Heaven.”

America has “changed the historic biblical rules” regarding immigration, he said, and “this is a reason why God must discipline our country.”

“Now we have millions of people,” Rohrer said, “who are here for the wrong reasons, been invited in by people with wrong motives and now we have a people here, large numbers of them who have no respect for our God, they serve primarily the god of Allah and they embrace Sharia law” which permits them to engage in terrorism.

Rohrer said that until this nation realizes that it cannot tolerate “two competing Gods … we’re going to find ourselves in increasing trouble.”
