Thread: Leviticus 19:34

[But] the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.

What does this mean?



This isn't Egypt...and we're not Leviathans and Israelites.

This is the United States.

We're Americans.

Find something to quote from the US General Statutes

Are you a Catholic priest?

DanM,

That is some deep stuff. I learn new things every hour on these boards.

I never knew that the Israelites were actually illegal immigrants in Egypt.

Dan,

You sound like an Inquisitor or Abaddon??

Deuteronomy 24:14

14 Do not take advantage of a hired man who is poor and needy, whether he is a brother Israelite or an alien living in one of your towns.

-------------------------------------

Deuteronomy 24:17

17 Do not deprive the alien or the fatherless of justice, or take the cloak of the widow as a pledge.

--------------------------------------


Lamentations 5

1 Remember, O LORD, what has happened to us;
look, and see our disgrace.

2 Our inheritance has been turned over to aliens,
our homes to foreigners.

3 We have become orphans and fatherless,
our mothers like widows.

----------------------------------------

Dan,

I'm real good at preaching. I'm from the bible beating south. Let's go!

Remember, God took the children of Israel out of Egypt and back into the land of Canaan the inheritance of their father Abraham.

Let's start with the Golden Rule. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

Well, by this forum, it is obvious that illegals are upsetting a lot of people so they should stop upsetting US. Illegals are the instigators of all of our current behavior towards them. We are the ones being wronged.

Moses told the children of Israel in very clear and concise language, "Thou shalt not remove thy neighbor's landmark." (Deut. 19:14) "Landmark" refers to territory, boundary, or border. Moses further declared, "Cursed be he that removeth his neighbor's landmark." (Deut. 27:17)

Moses said, "When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people." (Deut. 32: Notice that God "separated the sons of Adam." God "set the bounds of the people."

Luke: "And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds (boundaries, borders) of their habitation." (Acts 17:26)

Get back behind your boundry. God seperated us for a reason.

Biblical texts also warn of plagues! Think about the locusts descending on land that is fertile, and "damning" it!

Also remember the following quote---it is one of my all-time favorites, and I apply it religiously (pun) !

From the mouth of Benjamin Franklin:

"Guests, like fish, stink after three days!"

There's a real stink in this country----it's time to clean the House!

Geeee.... we, the taxpayers, provide the BILLIONS of dollars to medically treat illegals, educate their kids, feed them if they are too down and out, imprison the illegals that rape/murder/harm us.... on and on.

What else are we to do? Bring in 3 BILLION poor folks and lift them up? That would ravage the environment and convert the USA into a 3rd-world cesspool and would drag ALL except a tiny minority of wealthy elites down into the morass of extreme poverty.

I wonder if the first poster is willing to live a life of extreme poverty.

Practice what you preach, Bubba.

Set the standards. Show us the way. Lower your living standard so low that the resources you forego can provide for 20 of the world's impoverished peasents.

Maybe start by opening your home to 20 refugees.

Words are cheap. Let's see your actions.

a good point. It is a biological idea called "habitat saturation" Our water supplies dwindle more and more every year. Our cities and suburbs are bursting into farmland and national reserves (such as the wetlands in Great Bend KS).

Illegal Immigration has a detrimental effect on all of America, not just the human citizens.
