    Obviously this "church" caters to being politically correct. And that, in my own opinion, is not really any different than fellowships that advertise "relaxed services," lol. And that, in my opinion...makes me think the "church" is being run like a business, rather than being lived out as Christians interested in being obedient to the revealed Will of God.

    As to the primary question, I say yes: might as well corral them altogether...

    ;)


    God bless.

    Politifact is a left wing fact checking site. They have an agenda.

    No they are not. Where in the world did you get that from? What "industry", the extreme far left press industry?

    The idea of "sanctuary" doesn't just mean "protection from laws we don't like". The law is very clear that anyone who harbors a border criminal will, themselves be faced with criminal charges.

    That's what should happen here. The "pastor" and elders/board or whichever kind of church government they have, should be arrested and the church fined.

    If it were our church and the illegal alien in question was a brother or sister in Christ, we would explain to them that they are in sin and, if necessary, bring about church discipline, and explain to them that under the law, they are putting the church in jeopardy. We would encourage them to go back home and apply for legal citizenship. If it is a problem of money (ie "they come here to escape poverty") then we would support them financially while they are waiting to be accepted legally.
