We are all Immigrants who live in USA

Immigrant ministry is truly unique. Immigrants are in the midst of too much neglect and loneliness. I wondered how I could comfort them. As I studied theology, I found out that these are the poor people whom Bible spoke of. "He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed" (Luke 4:18). This text is a favorite text of liberation theologians. Liberation theologians are often understood in connection with Marxism, communism, or leftist politics. However, I believe that real liberation is possible through peaceful liberation in the gospel of Jesus Christ. The title of this study is "We are all Immigrants who live in USA: all Characters in the Bible are Immigrants" According to Black Theology, reconciliation does not transcend color, thus making us all white. God's Word of reconciliation means that we can only be justified by becoming black. I took the concept of immigration theology from the concept of Black Theology as mentioned by James H. Cone. We are all immigrants. All white Americans, African Americans, and Mexicans living in America are immigrants. No Caucasian can claim to be the real master of this land in the United States of America. Jews living in the United States had a hard time with discrimination, and African Americans and Asian people are now crossing the threshold with overcoming discrimination too. Even Caucasian immigrants in the early time of this country needed to overcome many trials in the new land of America and faced all kind of lifestyle risks. Interestingly, most of the Biblical characters are immigrants. The Biblical figures of heroes are historically immigrants. This is illustrated and understood by mythologist Joseph Campbell's heroic theory which states that all heroes pass through the world of darkness and reach another world. The entire history of Israel is also about immigration. Israel has historically suffered much more pain than other nations. Israel was invaded by various countries, and the Jews were captured and lived as wanderers of the world for two thousand years. Korea has always been in a very similar situation. Surrounded by China, Japan, Russia, and the United States, there is a painful history that has always revolved around invasion and colonization. The historically accumulated unresolved pain is expressed as "Han" in Korea. Invasion by Japan during the last 36 years has left Korean culture almost annihilated. The Korean War forced Koreans to be divided into North and South, and their families scattered. Andrew Sung Park is the pioneer of Asian Liberation Theology, Korean American theologian and professor of United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio. He has introduced Korea's "Han" to American society." When a person puts up with long-suffering or the sharp, intense pangs of injustice, he or she develops a "node" of pain exhibiting a visceral, psychological, and pneumatic reaction to the unbearable pain. This phenomenon is called "Han" in Korea. Korean Minjung theologian Young-Hak Hyun describes the "Han" as follows: "Han" is a sense of unresolved resentment against injustice suffered.
