Actually, I HATE preachy legalistic Christians. I actually could give a rip what your answers are. I am most decidedly UNholier than just about anyone I know, and am not motivated to get into a contest with you or anyone else about it. The questions were, of course, rhetorical, and designed to show that (again) we assign levels of seriousness to different areas of Lawkeeping (as Jesus mocked the pharisees for tithing garden veggies but neglecting the "weightier matters of the law").
I do believe we need a combination of 1) enhanced border security 2) confirmation of legal status for those legally here 3) expanded immigration opportunities 4) recognition of the basic humanity, responsibility and human rights of those here as we figure out exactly who stays and who goes, and 5) merciful and just expulsion of those who cannot stay.
PS. I am glad they missed!
“but neglecting the “weightier matters of the law”).”
Jesus was right, of course. IMO, the invasion of a sovereign country by a group of individuals intent on ravaging it’s resources and wealth through fraud and intimedation, can not be permitted. (let’s leave Iraq out of the equation)
I agree with your proposals but, why the “confirmation of legal status for those legally here”?
You don’t seriously think We want to kick out legal Hispanics or any other legal group, do you? (BTW; are you from Turkey/Albania?) (based on a reference to your screen name)
