That group Noah's Ark Scans, claiming the Durupinar Formation is the real Noah's Ark, is led by an antisemitic flat-earther who promotes Nick Fuentes and is telling people to vote Democrat this election. There's an agenda here, and it's not for biblical truth. Avoid.

Update from the Seys: “My husband Samuel Sey entered the United States legally and has been working ever since in good faith with a lawyer to obtain permanent legal status. Our family is trying to understand what went wrong in the process. In the spirit of Romans 13, our family fully supports and respects American law and are prayerfully working to get him home through the legal process.”

I haven't said anything on the Sam Sey situation because there was no information to go on. I talked to others behind the scenes and had a general idea of how and when he was detained but the exact reason wasn't known. However, since DHS has released a statement I thought now would be an appropriate time to weigh in. I don't believe what DHS is saying is the whole story. That might be what their records are telling them but it doesn't really add up. Here are questions I have. If Sam has been in an illegal status for 4 years then why wasn't his employer notified that they were illegally employing an illegal alien? If Sam was in an illegal status why wasn't it flagged when he and his wife filed taxes? If Sam was in an illegal status why wasn't he notified and was no action taken before now? Sam wasn't hiding. If Sam was knowingly in an illegal status why would he fly and travel around the country like he has the last 4 years? I could be wrong but this does seem like a clerical or administrative error. Between the military, being a government contractor, and working in academia, I've spent nearly 25 years working in government. It would not surprise me that some paperwork was not properly processed. It could be sitting on someone's desk or filed away and never input into the system. These things happen but I will wait for more information. Either way, nothing about Sam's behavior indicates that he intentionally violated the law or knew he was in an illegal status.
I have received a statement from DHS regarding Sam Sey: “On October 21, ICE arrested Samuel Sey, an illegal alien from Ghana, at the Columbus International Airport. Sey entered the United States legally in 2022 but overstayed his length of admission by over four years, in violation of our nation’s laws. Sey has no pending applications and accepted voluntary departure. He will remain in ICE custody until removed from the United States.   “We do not pick and choose which laws to enforce or where to enforce them.   “We encourage all illegal aliens to take control of their departure with the CBP Home App. The United States is offering illegal aliens $3,000 and a free flight to self-deport now. We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.” - DHS SPOX As I get more information, I will update.

You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who can resist His will?" But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, "Why have you made me like this?" —Romans 9:19-20

The "New Christian Right" is not new, nor Christian, nor right. Just like the "New Apostolic Reformation" is not new, nor apostolic, nor reformation.

“Why do they need so much money?” Some are asking this in good faith, some are not, and some are being devils. Regardless, here’s an answer from someone who knows:
Friends, Samuel Sey (@SlowToWrite) is literally family to me. Our wives are first cousins. I was at his wedding and can vouch for his character. He is a good man, a man of Faith, a husband and a father. We believe this is a clerical error made by law enforcement that will cost his family a lot of time and money to sort out. This is especially hard on his wife and 3 young children, and entering the holiday season no less. We don’t know how long they will be separated. Please consider helping my family in this time of need and pray for God to use this whole situation for His glory. givesendgo.com/support-for-s…

Mormons aren't Christian, @RGIII. They worship a different Jesus. False prophet Joseph Smith preached a false christ who was the literal offspring of the Father and brother of Satan. God the Father was not eternally God according to Smith, but he became a god as you can be.

There are few people online as cowardly and godless as many of these white Christless Nationalist anons. Continuing to pray for our brother Samuel Sey and his family, and this matter will be resolved soon.

Good word from Jeremiah Johnston against that absolute wolf and predatory shepherd, Zach Lambert.
Replying to @ZachWLambert
Christian since 5. Pastor since 19. That's a résumé, Zach, not a confession. Arius was ordained too. An apostate rarely leaves the church. He stays in the pulpit and rewrites the faith. That's you. You told a same-sex couple their marriage "brings great joy to the heart of God." You posted that there are "absolutely no 'biblical' grounds for being anti-trans." Jesus disagreed: "From the beginning of creation, 'God made them male and female'" (Mark 10:6). Baker Publishing carries us both as authors. I'd ask them to put our pictures as far apart as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12). Jesse Myers needs to take care of that or I am out at Baker. @ReadBakerBooks You champion a man who told the Texas House "God is non-binary" and used Luke 1 to defend abortion. Luke calls the child in the womb a brephos, a baby (1:41), the same word he uses for Jesus in the manger. The most vulnerable Texan can't vote. You just voted against him. You described "the way of Jesus" without the cross. Paul called that a different gospel and its preacher anathema, set apart for destruction (Galatians 1:8). Jude called such men "waterless clouds" and "fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted" (Jude 12). Repent while the door is open.

Samuel Sey, @SlowToWrite, is a friend of mine and precious brother in Christ. He is in the United States legally, married to an American wife, and the father to dear children. These Christian Nationalists going after him are showing themselves not only wrong but psychotic.

There's a loud faction of "Christian Nationalists" that have hated the gospel and its implications for a long time. That has been made all the more evident today. (1 Timothy 6:3-5)

I can’t divulge details at this point, but I have spoken to people close to my friend Sam Sey, and this is not a question of any deliberate law breaking. Anyone saying otherwise is not telling you the truth. And anyone rejoicing over his and his precious wife Annie’s difficulties in this situation is disgusting.
Do the "Christians" celebrating this have no fear of God? Samuel Sey is A) not an illegal alien and B) a brother in Christ. Praying for Samuel and his dear wife and family. May this be sorted out soon. Beware those who breathe lies and sow discord among brothers (Prov. 6:19).

I’m not at liberty to share all the details, but suffice it to say that many people rejoicing over this have given a completely incorrect rendering of what occurred and why. ICE did not come to his home. This whole thing is a paperwork issue that they’re working to resolve. Samuel Sey is a good man. As you can imagine, his wife, who’s at home with their 3 babies, is devastated and also trusting the Lord to help them find a resolution quickly. Please pray for all of the Seys. Pray for wisdom and provision. Those celebrating because they don’t like something Sam said are slanderous backbiters and gossips. Pay them no mind

This is good news, and it is what most of us suspected. No doubt many in the CN crowd will be disappointed.
According to multiple sources on X, Samuel Sey's detainment and hold for ICE arises NOT from a deliberate contravention of the law, but rather from a paperwork/clerical issue they are seeking to quickly resolve.
