No small feat -- well done.
Nonsense. Those Old Testament verses about being fair to aliens also affirmed that the interests of Israel were to come first. Foreigners were not allowed to rule over the Israelites. Aliens were required to obey the religious laws of the land, unlike today, where aliens brag about "enriching" the new country with their own language and culture.
Besides, back then aliens were "sojourners," people who came, stayed for a while, and left. There was no "illegal immigration" like today, where tens of millions of people flood across a country's borders, take jobs, lower wages, use fake documents, collect welfare, force taxpayers to pay for their hospitalization and their children's education, etc., etc.
Look at the "fruits" of illegal immigration. Drive through an illegal alien neighborhood sometime, a formerly nice area. (There are many.) Do it only if you dare, and if your car is not likely to break down. Notice the bars on the doors and windows. Notice the graffiti and the filth and the blight. Does this tell you anything? Would you want to live there? Would you allow your daughter to jog through an illegal alien neighborhood or rent an apartment there? Would you want your children to go to a school that was majority illegal aliens? How could God possibly approve of the crime, destruction and danger that illegal immigration brings in its wake? One look around any illegal alien neighborhood, and you know there is no way that God approves of illegal immigration, or expects Christians to embrace it.
The Bible says "Go and make disciples of all nations." Key word...GO. Not, "Let foreigners flood into your nation and take over, and then you can evangelize them." Christians are to GO where the foreigners are.
I do too have small feet. ;oP
Why don't you come down to Houston and see the effects of this Invasion. Vast sections of the City look like a third world Hellhole. The Crime rate is very high, aided and abetted by your other "beloved" refugees from NOLA.
When the "aliens" overun your own area, get back to me with your new opinion.
And soooo pretty :-P Lol, I was tempted to use that double entendre.
I saw an article recently that the Catholic church wants nothing more than to destroy the United States.
The Catholic Church wants to dominate the world again...
Just to be clear, I was not referring to the catholic Church.
As to your question, take your pick in the Middle East.
"Support for illegal immigration" is not part of the Catechism. It is merely some people who are Catholics who believe it. Those things come and go.
Good point, Jack.
Deny all you wish. Until there has been top to bottom cleansing of reprehensible, institutional corruption, the voices will not cease.
I've read your posts on this thread. What are you suggesting? That we become a theocracy based on YOUR interpretation of Christian scripture? You are what the founding fathers feared when they formed this nation. What next, maybe a Muslim Theocracy to rule the US?
You are welcome to aid and love the illegal alien lawbreaker all you want. Just don't insist I must. Even the Christian religion that we both love cannot rule this country or it ceases to be this country.
Well said, Nea. Seems like someone is overlooking alot of Gods principles to get to an agenda.
Why don't we just get all the billions of people in the world in here and then fight it out!

well said.
So... is your stance "once the illegals aliens start obeying God then we will start?"
Actually, this is not a biblical phrase, nor is it correct. It is, in fact, contrary to the whole of biblical teaching.
"Judas went out and hanged himself"
"Go therefore and do likewise"
"What you do, do quickly"
You first..... since we are arbitrarily pulling verses out of context and making them apply beyond their intended audience.
Of course it can. The state does not have to listen, and the church can, and does, err. But the church should instruct the state on how to do its duty before God......, and by the way, there is no "separation of church and state" in the Constitution or bill of rights. That phrase came from a letter to the Danbury Baptists by Ben Franklin in about 1800. Never has been constitutional.
