Thread: The Biblical Position On Illegal Immigration

The biblical position on illegal immigration

Many Christians continue to be fooled about what the Bible says about illegal immigration.
Some clerics are adding to the confusion by denouncing efforts to protect our borders, safeguard our citizens and enforce our duly enacted and just laws as some kind of hateful, anti-Christian agenda.

The Rev. Luis Cortes, the founder of Esperanza USA, a group of Christian Hispanic leaders involved in promoting President Bush's failed efforts to promote amnesty attacked all the Republican presidential candidates. He is working with a new group called "Christians for Comprehensive Immigration Reform."

"They're moving away from a Republican position that they previously held as a party of family values," he said. He singled out Mike Huckabee for special criticism, saying he "started with a biblical position and the minute he moved up in the polls, took a step to the right."

Not surprisingly, none of these Christian leaders cited any Scripture suggesting the Bible approves of lawbreaking, non-enforcement of duly enacted laws or borderless nations.

There's a reason for that.

The Bible clearly and consistently speaks to the opposite agenda.

For the benefit those deluded into the belief that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is a God who doesn't respect borders and the rule of law, I have offered two previous Bible studies on the topic of illegal immigration:


A Bible study on illegal immigration http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/artic ... E_ID=58858


Another Bible study on illegal immigration

It appears it is necessary to explore this topic for a third time.

For starters, I challenge anyone to check an exhaustive online or offline concordance for the word "border" or "borders" to get an appreciation of how many times God's Word references these terms. While not all of them are relevant to our discussion, I count 169 references, most of them making the point that God cares about them. He cares about boundaries between nations. In fact, as I have previously pointed out, it is God Himself who invented nation-states back in Genesis 11.

Why did He do it?

It seems He scattered the world's population and created the diverse languages in an effort to subvert man's efforts to unite in a global kingdom under a false universal religion.

Interestingly, one of the prime motivations of those behind the promotion of borderless societies is this very same notion of regional government and global government and the breakdown of nationalism.

What was wrong at the time of the Tower of Babel remains wrong today. That should be clear to anyone and everyone whose standard of morality is the Bible.

So, where's the confusion?

Some of these misguided Christian clerics cite a handful of random, out-of-context verses that might, possibly, in some way, maybe, be interpreted, if you use your imagination, to suggest we should just forgive and forget all transgressions and trespasses against our national sovereignty and our laws regarding our nation status.

I won't deal with those Scriptures again, except to call your attention to the earlier work.

I will, however, introduce just one more verse I think is very relevant. It is Deuteronomy 27:17: "Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen."

Amen, indeed.

Amen Brother's and Sister's... and can I have a Hallalujah thrown in for kicks

Yes I totally agree.

But, the ILLEGALS claim to be GOOD CHRISTIANS.

ILLEGALS are here against the LAW. So, we are also suppose to uphold the law, and do whats is right.
Well, they BROKE the LAW.

Then they steal from the welfare system, the food stamps, medical, and all the other freebies they get, including section 8 houseing.
The husband, in which I bet a large percent claim no husband. He works under the table, for cash.
So, they are continuing a cycle of lies after lies.
And the husband and the family pay no taxes, which is taxevasion, which is a felony, and fraud and stealing from the government.
Then they have another baby, no fathers name, get more freebies.
Thanks to the taxpayers of AMERICA
who are RACIEST.
Thanks to the TAXPAYERS we get everything WE want because they have a president BUSH who believes they deserve it. And doesnt care.
If we DEMAND we GET.

If ILLEGAL ALIENS are christians, I am the pope!!!!

I was tauight in my church that lying, stealing, fornication, etc., are NOT christian attributes. But they DO seem to be the attributes of ILLEGAL ALIENS.

When ILLEGALS get pregnant simply to have a baby to supposedly be an American citizen, that isn't family values, it is just plain fornication! And many of them have 2, 3, 4, or even more and never bother with a little thing called marriage. The latino teenagers seem to be especially productive, according to the news!!!!

Jesus said to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and unto God what is God's. The Universe belongs to God. Borders belong to Caesar.

No. They claim to be the only Good Christians — the RCC is the "One True Church" (=> all others are false) and the only means to Salvation.

Koobster-you forgot to mention the stolen IDs that many use.
I believe this situation is going to REALLY bite us in the butt in about 10-15 more years when these anchors themselves start reproducing >>N.C.'s 50% hispanic birthrate<< -all unfortunately raised with the lawless/entitlement/victim mentality.

we are not under the law of cesar anymore.

The law is the law and we are to obey the law.

Oh yeah stealing ID cards Social secuirty card, and forge documents.

And the killings that are going on.

Remember 95% of the people who are wanted are ILLEGALS in LA alone.
