Trump selling USA Citizenship?
   Trump offer -- 5 million Dollar Gold Card to Citizenship
Q: President Trump is proposing a five-million-dollar gold card.  That seems like purchasing American citizenship?  Is there a biblical example for this?  
A: Yes, there is. When the Apostle Paul was arrested – actually saved from a mob of religious fanatics – while being held in chains, Paul informed the individual guarding him that he was a Roman Citizen. The Roman guard was alarmed and went immediately to his superior with this information.  Apparently, the Roman law enforcement thought they were breaking up some Jewish dispute, but once it was discovered that this guy they had in chains (handcuffs) was a Roman Citizen the Officer in charge became afraid. Why?  Because, Roman Citizenship had a worth, it meant something, and anyone a citizen had privileges way over the heads of non-citizens.  The Centurion informed Paul that He had to spend a small fortune on purchasing his path to Roman citizenship, he wanted to know how a man, so obviously a Jew, could be or became a citizen?  Paul then informed him that he was born a Roman Citizen.  Now the Centurion Commander became even more alarmed and had Paul released from chain immediately.  
In this moment of past history, we see a Biblical Example of American Citizenship having value and a pathway to entry in to a very much coveted citizenship with privileges exclusive to the “card holder”.  
The Gold Card to USA green card pass, even to citizenship has value.  The past administration, under the Democrats, had cheapened USA citizenship value by suggesting and actually enacting privileges for non-citizens, even to the point of passing on US Constitutional advantages to strangers from around the world, effectively removing spiritual and legal boundaries recognized by every civilization from time immemorial.  Now, in this year, 2025, this prize is being restored.

Act 23:27  This man was seized by the Jews and they were about to kill him, but I came with my troops and rescued him, for I had learned that he is a Roman citizen. NIV

What?  Paul, a child of the Living God, follower, and Apostle of our Savior, YaHshua, is a Roman Citizen, as well as a person born of Judah? Let’s back up just a little and see how this information came out – repeated, if you will.

Act 22:24 … the commander ordered Paul to be taken into the barracks. He directed that he be flogged and questioned in order to find out why the people were shouting at him like this.
Act 22:25 As they stretched him out to flog him, Paul said to the centurion standing there, "Is it legal for you to flog a Roman citizen who hasn't even been found guilty?"
Act 22:26  When the centurion heard this, he went to the commander and reported it. "What are you going to do?" he asked. "This man is a Roman citizen." NIV
Something else to note – We are allow dual citizenship, but with this comes responsibilities.  We are to be law abiding and keeping our evil speech to ourselves, when it comes to our rulers.

Act 23:4 Those who were standing near Paul said, "You dare to insult God's high priest?"
Act 23:5  Paul replied, "Brothers, I did not realize that he was the high priest; for it is written: 'Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people.' " NIV

“…Ruler of your people.” This covers just about everyone. What is “speaking evil”?  We all know when someone is speaking evil, don’t we? We hear evil speaking all the time, just turn you TV on.  Some of those violating this ungodly speaking are politicians.
