I heard a guy on the radio. He claimed that there is better evidence for the historicity of Jesus, than of Alexander the Great.

Ask your AI search that!

Probably true . Historiography of Alexander the Great - Wikipedia

Hmm, you have difficulty remembering what happened 40 years ago? They have tests for that now.

Well how about that - I was misquoting. There are only a very few versions of your bible that use those words. ALL the others - including the King James version that most people use - refer to aliens or foreigners, not sojourners. Here's the most common translation:

The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

This is the KJV:

But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

So y'all want to justify your fear and hatred of people living here from other countries, you can keep using the first, least common version that most people who read the bible don't use. The rest of you know what it means. It means love thy neighbor and welcome the stranger.

I edited for clarification, because obviously I used the wrong version when I copied and pasted.
