Amnesty for Illegals and Statehood for Terrorists?

Jesus never protected people from the consequences of breaking the law.

 

nope. didn't He say: render unto Ceasar the things that are Ceasar's, and to God the things that are God's ?

Obey the law, and worship God.

 

It is really not compassion, it has nothing to do with compassion regardless of the cartoons Crabby posts. It is all about buying votes. I can remember when the democrats were pushing "aid to dependent children" when I was in high School. So now we have more dependent children and dependent adults. It is the same with everything the democrats do. They want a subservient welfare class that will put the elitist leftists in political power perpetually.

 

And what an amazing opportunity we have to put into motion the Great Commission amongst so many different cultures right here in our own backyard. Many of us do not even need to leave our own neighborhoods. Hispanics, Latinos, Asians, Indians, Arabs, etc. Many of which would be completely unreachable because of the cultures they lived in, in their home countries. Many keeping at least some contact and influence with their relatives back home.

Ethnic missions with so little need for initial investment of money. Only people power and faith. God does provide. :thumbsup:

 

:thumbsup: You should post more often. This is precisely our experince with migrant Mexicans in our area, some who have settled in, become citizens, and now are our friends and neighbors.

Since this is true, should we just open the borders to anyone?

I say not. If we did so, we would soon lose our right to minister to anyone.

 

Nobody here is against immigration. We are against breaking the law and not being held accountable. That is inline with Scripture. One of the things God requires of us is to do justice...Micah 6:8. A free for all is not just. In fact, it isn't even loving to give people what they want just because they want it.

Keep in mind the teaching on widows.
1Ti 5:3 Honor widows who are widows indeed;
1Ti 5:4 but if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to practice piety in regard to their own family and to make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
1Ti 5:5 Now she who is a widow indeed and who has been left alone, has fixed her hope on God and continues in entreaties and prayers night and day.
1Ti 5:6 But she who gives herself to wanton pleasure is dead even while she lives.
1Ti 5:7 Prescribe these things as well, so that they may be above reproach.
1Ti 5:8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
1Ti 5:9 A widow is to be put on the list only if she is not less than sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
1Ti 5:10 having a reputation for good works; and if she has brought up children, if she has shown hospitality to strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has assisted those in distress, and if she has devoted herself to every good work.
1Ti 5:11 But refuse to put younger widows on the list, for when they feel sensual desires in disregard of Christ, they want to get married,
1Ti 5:12 thus incurring condemnation, because they have set aside their previous pledge.
1Ti 5:13 At the same time they also learn to be idle, as they go around from house to house; and not merely idle, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things not proper to mention.
1Ti 5:14 Therefore, I want younger widows to get married, bear children, keep house, and give the enemy no occasion for reproach;
1Ti 5:15 for some have already turned aside to follow Satan.
1Ti 5:16 If any woman who is a believer has dependent widows, she must assist them and the church must not be burdened, so that it may assist those who are widows indeed.
1Ti 5:17 The elders who rule well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.
1Ti 5:18 For the Scripture says, "YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE HE IS THRESHING," and "The laborer is worthy of his wages."
1Ti 5:19 Do not receive an accusation against an elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses.
1Ti 5:20 Those who continue in sin, rebuke in the presence of all, so that the rest also will be fearful of sinning.
1Ti 5:21 I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of His chosen angels, to maintain these principles without bias, doing nothing in a spirit of partiality. (NASB)


I am reminded of Daniel's wisdom in preparing for, and administration during, the famine that was in Egypt and beyond. He did not just give everything away. He made wise decisions that met the needs of the people and blessed the civil government. He did so while showing no bias, except in care for his own family.


None of us are against helping people with needs. Again, we just desire a just system that maintains accountability. This is just and merciful.

To do otherwise is to enslave the people under the guise of caring for them. That is what the Democrats have sold roughly 53% of the voters.
