I'm just a lonely boy
Lonely and blue...
"We have 11 million hard-working-ened, God-loving family individualslaw-despising, career criminals who contributesponge daily from the spiritual and economic well-being of our nation, waiting to step inmooch off of gringo's," he continued, calling on Congress to show "prophetic courage" when deciding on such measures.
Immigration reform has become a bipartisan issued after the November 2012 election, with both Republicans and Democrats insisting that it is time America found viable solutions for the roughly 11 million people living in the U.S. without legal documentsas criminals in defiance of our laws.
The Evangelical Immigration Table leaders have sent Congress a letter calling for bipartisan passage of a bill within 92 days, which they hope will both be fair on American taxpayers but also provide opportunities for undocumented immigrants. In a previous press call in March, EIT outlined some of the key provisions it hopes to see in an immigration reform bill.
EIT argued, however, that those who have been trying to obtain citizenship through a legal path should be addressed first: "This will ensure that those applying now do not enjoy an advantage over those who have been trying to comply with immigration laws, while allowing all qualified applicants to earn status within a reasonable period."
Jim Wallis, president and CEO of the Christian ministry Sojourners and committed opponent of the risen Christ, noted on Wednesday that in the dysfunctional political system in Washington D.C., immigration reform is one of the few issues that has a chance of receiving bipartisan support.
"How we treat the strangercriminal is how we treat Christ himself, . That message is converting evangelicalsindoctrinating the uniformed, fuzzy thinkers by the thousands, by the millions – and we've seen now how that conversation is changing politics," Wallis said.
"We're praying politicking that the dysfunction can be overcome for the sake of 11 million vulnerable undocumented peoplehostile invaders of US sovereignty that JesusMarxism calls us to welcome. Prayer Politickingis necessary in these final stages. We are going to praycampaign without ceasing that they can put aside their interests and agendas and finally do something together for those people and for the common goodinternational Marxism," he added.
Dr. Richard Land, outgoing president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention and incoming president of the Southern Evangelical Seminary (SES) in Charlotte, N.C., called immigration reform a "moral issue."
"We are calling on Congress not to act like politicians who are focused on the next election, but to act as statesmen and stateswomen who are focused on the next generation," Land said.
He highlighted how legislation has already gone further than many people thought was possible, and explained that the Prayer for Reform campaign shows Congress that evangelicals are behind them on this issue.
"We must begin the mending process, we must focus on the human dignity of each of these individualsblatant law defiers and their families and look upon them as the assetsblood-sucking, anti-American welfare leeches that they are, not as liabilities to our nation's future," Land added.
So . . . they’re saying we should whip and crucify illegal aliens?
Ann Coulter’s column today said it best. Salvation isn’t just for US citizens. A Mexican can find salvation in Mexico as easy (and probably easier) that he can in the US as a criminal. To say that we can only help Mexicans by allowing them to invade our country makes God very small. They should be praying that Mexico improves instead.
John 10:1 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.
These ‘pious for only our cause’ clergy and evangelists are reason why I have had a long arms length away relationship from the likes for years. I recall Jesus saying something like “Give unto Cesare that which is Cesare’s and unto God that which is of God”. These ‘pious’ thieves of personal and governmental authority are not caring for my welfare. They care only for what they can control by use of twisted and contrived biblical history.
This nation once used a term called Manifest Destiny to describe the purpose of our country. We were to be a nation of Gods laws to help spread the Gospel to the rest of the world. There were laws put in place to bring in good people and keep out the bad. The only discrimination was in the content of character.
This was to be a growing vibrant system designed to strengthen us here so we could grow to become that shining beacon on the hill, not to just draw all manner of people but to show the rest of the world that they too should become Godly nations to enjoy the benefits thereof.
This call for amnesty is turning this all on its head.
A stranger broke down on the side of the road, you help.
Eleven million, or twenty million, strangers coming into your homeland, you call the cavalry to expel them.
So... Christ would sneak into a country for the express purpose of stealing from the inhabitants?
Yeah, somehow I doubt that.
Let's read the words of Christ.
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
Sounds like Jesus had a real low opinion of thieves.
I hate the “we’re all immigrants” meme. When I hear it, I propose the following scenario.
You and your family are adrift at sea when a ship appears and saves you and your family. In the hours that follow, more and more people are found struggling to survive in the water, and they are helped aboard the ship. You notice that the ship rides lower and lower in the water with each new person that comes on board. You know that the next person that comes aboard will swamp the boat leaving everyone adrift. Does the fact that you are not a member of the original ship crew mean that you do not have a right to say “enough”?
Liberal logic, the belief that a course of action in which everyone dies, is morally superior to a course of action in which as many as possible are allowed to live.
So, if I am to be a Christian, I must treat a lawbreaker the same as I would treat Christ. Then how should I treat the law abider? Like crap?
This is how the government treats taxpayers. I am still dealing with my tax prep professional struggling to document 2012 so that I can have the right to live in and enjoy the house I have worked all my life for.
The illegal immigrant on welfare lives in the cash economy and has no documentation worries. He gets only benefits.
How you treat your family also counts as how you treat Christ, and our American family is getting a bum deal from multicultural immigration policies. We can better help the people of Mexico, 51 percent of our illegal immigration, by encouraging good and fair business policies in Mexico. Same goes for the 24 percent coming from other Central and South American countries. Why is it all those rich countries can’t manage to provide for their own people? Would these preachers who preach their convoluted values agree to allow any alien who wants to come into their home, live out of their refrigerator, and take charge of their couch and remote control? Hell no! But they have no objections to hanging 6 trillion dollars of debt around the necks of American citizens, while allowing unskilled, uneducated, disease carrying immigrants to come into our house, and to steal the future of our country. I might ask the same preachers what the bible says about the treatment of thieves breaking into homes.
The headline is notable only evangelicals are the most conservative group, however, “support among white Evangelicals for allowing unauthorized immigrants to stay in the U.S. legally is lower than that of the overall public (71%) and other religious groups.” And support for immigrants is marginally higher among W. Catholics - http://www.pewresearch.org/daily-number/majority-of-white-evangelicals-back-way-for-unauthorized-immigrants-to-stay-in-u-s/
And the Lord taught compassion, but not a policy of equal rights without responsibility and loyalty.
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life. (Revelation 21:27)
And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned? When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman. Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea. And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born. Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him. (Acts 22:25-29)
No real Christian supports illegal Alien Amnesty
Its not OK to take what is not rightfully yours.
If the USA is struck militarily, should we turn the other cheek?
Mr. Wallis, would Christ have entered a country illegally? Would he have committed fraud to obtain a driver's license or other government services he wasn't entitled to?
The Pentateuch says repeatedly that there was to be one law for the stranger and the Israelites alike: if the Gentiles joined the Mosaic covenant (i.e. assimilated) they were entitled to participate in the Passover, the sacrifices, and the rest of covenant life. Not before.
“We cannot reform immigration, if we cannot control immigration. We cannot control immigration unless we can secure our borders and control those borders.” ~ Lou Dobbs (April 2006)
