God knows he'd probably join them in the prisons until every detainee was set free. He would break down the prison walls. He would demand justice for God's people! I assume crimes like document fraud,tax fraud,drunk driving arrests resulting in lost of lives, sex offenders,etc,etc would be free to go about their business.. I never see these same Pastors talking about just what is the list of laws from their point of view is acceptable to break without any consequences ? How would Jesus feel about the illegals who hire the Mexican drug cartels to smuggle them into the country paying them thousands of dollars? Are they an approved travel agency ? How would JESUS feel about wage theft .The illegals who show up in ER'S the ER doctor is a separate bill,x-rays,lab work,why is it ok for illegals not pay these bills ? When illegals do not get paid ,Pastors are every where.When medical professions experience wage theft, I never see any Pastors telling the illegals how they have a moral obligation to pay their medical bills.
That’s an easy answer...God himself placed men in various places as he saw fit....with Borders,Cultures and Governance of....people need to remain where they are planted instead of trying to build another tower of Babel....which is what our government and the International elements are attempting.
All the other issues of medical...emergencies etc. should always be on a tempory basis....
LEGAL immigrants....Jesus believed in following rules.....”Give to Ceasar what is his”
And, it is apparently a mandate which the good Rev Halverson would have the State enforce. Whom would she like to be in charge of this government "mandate", I wonder. And what other mandates would she like the state to enforce?
Hmmm?
My guess is that the Rev. Sarah knows as much about Jesus and biblical theology as she does about astrophysics. The only reason she could get and (presumably) keep her clerical job and not one with NASA is that all the “rockets” that have crashed and will crash and burn because of her incompetence in her current job will do so on the other side of judgment day; at NASA they would be doing so here and now where not only God but everyone else could bear witness.
Why yes, He would.
The problem is with the word "Justice", it does not mean what you think it means.
Justice would be to send them back to where they came from after seizing what they have to pay for what they took.
Or does she think Jesus is cool with thievery?
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
John 10:1
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
John 10:10
Doesn't sound like it.
Yes, he would.
Justice for them is to keep them from violating the laws of Caesar, i.e., recognized international sovereignty laws - just like the old “render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s.....”
In other words, Jesus would not want them violating laws that were established for good reason.
People tend to forget about that one. The fact is nobody know what Jesus would do. Although I believe God is in contol in all things, to assume what Jesus would do in any given circumstance we fihd ourselves in is arrogant.
bs
he would not endorse breaking the laws by invading countries and demanding services. they can and should have stayed in their own country.
using your ‘logic’ I should be able to walk into any restaurant and demand to be served without bringing any money. I’d starve without being fed... and I have a ‘’right to eat’... so the restaurant must feed me. right?
caww is correct by the Bible and you are wrong.
JESUS: I have now multiplied the fishes a thousand fold...
PEPE: eh, gringo, can you do that a thousand times more? i have my family and friends
JESUS: OK, here’s another thousand fishes and bread
THE NEXT DAY
PEPE: eh, gringo, can you multiply houses instead of fish and bread? also gimme free hospitals too and if not, I will tell Rome you are an infidel
If they're being victimized in some way because of their illegal status, well I guess that cost/benefit calculation is theirs to make when they decide to live somewhere they aren't legally allowed to. Why does is sound as if they author expects us to feel guilty for people facing [some of] the consequences of their actions?
That's right.
He said "Care for the needy".
He didn't say "Build a giant bloated governmental leviathan to eat out your sustenance, treating the needy better than you yourselves are treated, and enriching and empowering itself in the process".
actually, it’s very clear what Jesus would think of breaking established laws
no wiggle room here.
If a person does not have a right to put a knife to my ribs and demand I provide him with goods and/or services (and he doesn’t), he cannot legitimately vote for the “government” to put that knife to my ribs on his behalf.
I couldn't agree more, so here's the truth: They are here illegally, so they should go home. If they still want to be a US citizen, let them go through the legal process that's already in place. Once here, it's their obligation to assimilate into our culture, not the other way around. Don't come here and try to make our country into your old country. If that's your plan, stay where you are.
you’re right... and it’s ‘social justice’ being sugar coated with religion to try and get folks on the right to swallow unawares
WWJD? He would tell the reverend to get a brain. Her people may have come from Africa. Mine didn’t.
