Obama Wins Unlikely Allies in Immigration
New York Times ^ | July 18, 2010 | Laurie Goodstein

At a time when the prospects for immigration overhaul seem most dim, supporters have unleashed a secret weapon: a group of influential evangelical Christian leaders.

Normally on the opposite side of political issues backed by the Obama White House, these leaders are aligning with the president to support an overhaul that would include some path to legalization for illegal immigrants already here. They are preaching from pulpits, conducting conference calls with pastors and testifying in Washington — as they did last Wednesday.

He did a lot more than fail to deny it. Matthew 16:16-18. Also the transfiguration in Matthew 17. Many others. In Matthew 17, God himself proclaimed “This is my son . . .”

“The ones who charged him with this, namely the local political religious figures, did not have the authority to put him to death. They then accused him falsely of preaching against Rome and got the Romans to put him to death for that.”

What does this have to do with the article about churches that support shamnesty?

“Why don’t the Christians of America want to stand with the Christians in Mexico who went to the U.S. Embassy and told the truth about their real name, applied for a visa, paid $130, for each of their 6 kids, and having paid thousands of dollars were told they can’t go to the LAND of plenty. But those who lied, paid bribes, and left women and children in Mexico are rewarded? Would Jesus want this?”

Amen

Obama has no allies; only tools.

This is the stupid “social justice” Glenn Beck has been teaching us about.

These people are not “Christians” .. they are mamby-pamby shills for the Obama deception. Because it’s easier to believe that the illegals need to be sheltered instead of understanding - they are criminals.

What was it Jesus told us, “Be not deceived” - that means we are responsible for allowing somebody to deceive us.

“I am talking about during the trial.”

In the end, He was killed because He was the Passover lamb for all humanity.

Here’s another name that should be added to that list (disappointed me to see it):

J. Kenneth Blackwell. Yeah, THAT Ken Blackwell.

If I had known he supported amnesty, I would have never supported his bid for the governorship of Ohio. Amnesty for illegals is a deal-breaker for me.
