Christian Charity Ping!

Okay, when is it right to break the law? I believe Christian charity applies when you encounter a beggar by the roadside or at your front door...

I do not believe it applies to the thief who sneaks over the fence and into the sheep pen. As it turns out, that is one of the parables in the Gospel of John.

Yes, the thief comes to steal and destroy.

It is, but Jesus meant for it to apply to the Pharisees, not illegals.

I know of nothing in the Gospels that authorizes being "charitable" with other people's money. If one wishes to exercise true Christian charity toward poor Latin Americans, one will donate one's own money to charitable organizations working in Latin America (or go down there to do good works oneself).

"Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many." Mat 7:13 RSV

Charity is just that: Charity!! The last I looked, it was totally VOLUNTARY. Providing services for illegal intruders from anywhere is not voluntary on my part nor yours.

I DECIDE WHERE AND WHEN I VOLUNTARILY GIVE TO ANYTHING.

Not the church. Not the US government. Not a cardinal of a church I never belonged to and never will belong to.

Let me ask you:
Marriage vs shacking up.
Withdrawal from the bank vs Bank robbery.
Consentual sex vs rape.
Shopping vs shop lifting.
Driving vs road rage.
Invited into my house as a guest vs breaking and entering.
Purchasing my gasoline vs pumping and driving off.
Waiting my turn and going thru the paperwork process vs coming across the border in the dark of the night.
ETC ETC ETC.

In the eyes of the liberals and many in the churches, they see the same activity---only with different eyes.

I say there is a BIG difference.

The first is totally legal. The second is totally against the law.

Some can say INTENT is the difference, and I agree.
If we let lawbreakers continue to break the laws and give them "amnesty", we are asking all the laws of this nation to break down. Where is the line we draw?

If we don't tell your politicians NOW that there are lines which are being wantonly broken all over the place, we deserve what happens next.
Does all your private property have to be taken and given to "the original holders of this land"??? Will that be YOUR line???
Wake up America. The invading hordes ARE at your door.
