What kind of minister opposes amnesty?
36"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'[b] 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'[c] 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."If you lived in a third world country, you would come to America too. This must some holdover from the days when Christians misused the Bible to defend slavery.
Yes, but loving your neighbor does not mean condoning their breaking of the law. You might as well say that the government should pardon a murderer just because he is someone’s “neighbor”. You have made a common mistake that Christians make, which is to confuse the role of the private person with the role of the government. The government does not have the same obligations as a person acting in his private life.
To grant amnesty is to condone the breaking of the law.
UNNATURALIZED Mexicans and Salvadorians SHOULD NOT BE my neighbors
The kind that remembers that love thy neighbor is not only for the third world, but also for his actual first world neighbors, Americans, and the nation of which he is a citizen. Neither of which benefits and is in fact hurt by this mass immigration, regardless of how it happens.
But, I'd be doing it legally. I wouldn't be demanding "rights"...
I wouldn't be marching in the street...
I wouldn't be mooching off my adoptive home...
I wouldn't be scamming to have my pregnant family members sent here to have their babies...
Now my question....
What kind of minister advocates the breaking of laws?
The next time some poor crack head breaks down your door looking for cash, just tell yourself, that you would do the same thing if you were in his shoes.
As for equating a minister opposing amnesty, with those who misused the bible to defend slavery, you could just as easily say that those who use the bible to promote lawless immigration or to support brutal dictators (World Council of Churches)are no different than those who used the bible to promote slavery.
Who is my neighbor?
I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it and see it still.
And how stands the city on this winter night? More prosperous, more secure, and happier than it was eight years ago. But more than that; after 200 years, two centuries, she still stands strong and true on the granite ridge, and her glow has held steady no matter what storm. And she's still a beacon, still a magnet for all who must have freedom, for all the pilgrims from all the lost places who are hurtling through the darkness, toward home.
We've done our part. And as I walk off into the city streets, a final word to the men and women of the Reagan revolution, the men and women across America who for eight years did the work that brought America back. My friends: We did it. We weren't just marking time. We made a difference. We made the city stronger. We made the city freer, and we left her in good hands. All in all, not bad, not bad at all.
And so, good-bye, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America. ---President Ronald Wilson Reagan

What kind of minister opposes amnesty?
One who follows the Living Word and the Written Word.
God offers forgiveness to all - and every one of us has sinned - but God requires repentance first. Folks can disqualify themselves from forgiveness by refusing repentance: a child molester cannot come into the Kingdom if he insists on bringing his abusive ways with him, nor can a drinker bring his bottle, nor a greedy man his wealth.
Remember when Jesus saved the woman caught in adultery? Jesus never gave her sentimental mush like, “I understand how confined and unfortunate you felt trapped in your own marriage. Of course, you went after others to get what you could. Anyone would do the same if they were so unfortunate. You could not be expected to obey the Law.”
Had Jesus been advised by the U.S. Senate, He would have had to tell the woman caught in adultery: “Stay, adultery is no more a sin.”
But Jesus had higher and better counsel. He said, “Go and sin no more.” The amnesty bill has the illegals flatly refuse both parts of Jesus’ command. They will not “Go.” They will not “sin no more.”
Forcing one another to the rule of law is a blessing we are granted as Americans. In time past men were forced at the point of sword and gun to be chattel and slave...pretty darn near close to the shabby border operation we presently run. We currently import a “disposable” class of worker ...whose presence destroys all hard won value of American work and labor.
