“Welcoming the Stranger: I have never read in the bible where it says citizens pending illegally entry into America,may by all means use any means to come up with thousands of dollars and we should not hold it against the illegals who will hire some of the most dangerous criminals in Mexico known as Mexican drug cartels,who kill children,women,men.Dangerous criminals to whom the Mexicans will hand over thousands of dollars to smuggle them into America are to be welcomed strangers.Nevermind the money Mexicans hand over to drug cartels keep them in business so that they can continue to expand their criminal organizations. They never say anything about parents in the country illegally who entrust their small children to dangerous criminal drug cartels to be alone with their kids to smuggle them into the country.What is the justification these welcome the strangers use for illegals who break a great number of laws and morally disobey the laws of the country they are in ? The bible does not say, you may drive without licenses/insurance/you may buy fake or stolen documents/you may cause accidents upon doing so take off and flee/you may lie to the gov by claiming fraudulent child tax credits.I wonder at what point does the church tell the illegals aside from what they think they want to hear but being blunt saying you cannot use fraud,you cannot drive without licenses insurance,etc,etc,etc. The church fails to fulfill all their moral obligations even when means being unpleasant that the bible also says this.It cannot remain all watered down. The churches are not doing their duties how they are suppose too.

Well Chip. If I see you took in 20 illegals into your house, I’ll do the same.

Good points. And the Bible doesn´t encourage fathers to leave behind their wives and children, and then return back to their countries with AIDS and a few dollars. In Mexico, we have a real shortage of Dad´s who show gallantry, chivalry, heros for little boys to model their lives. We are suffering in our homes, and this causes delincuencies.

Where is the exact scripture which commands this on secular govts?

Jesus never mentioned government must have open borders/amnesty.

Its really annoying when people impose on Jesus their desire for open border and amnesty then foist it on the govt.

>> “We have this incredible opportunity as followers of Christ to welcome people who are strangers in our community,”

We do welcome strangers... as long as they come in the front door. We don’t welcome thieves.

Fine, Mr. Huber, YOU pay for them.

...anyone who does not enter...by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. John 10:1

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. Romans 13:1-2

“Biblically, Jesus commands us to care for the stranger and alien,”

He did no such thing. "welcome the 'stranger'" does not even mean 'stranger'. This is from the Hebrew Torah, and the word 'Ger' means 'convert to Judiasm'. You are supposed to treat the foreign CONVERT as well as a native born Jew. It does NOT mean to let the robber who breaks into your house have your food, cash and a spare bedroom, as this ignoramus Jenny Yang wants America to.

What Jesus DID say however, is:

"I tell you, he who enters not through the gate, but through the window is a thief and a robber" (John 10;1)

"Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's" (Matthew 22:21)

First you take over the Universities. Then the entire school system, then government bureaucracies, then the churches - last.

The way the left is moving in America.

We do NOT have a Biblical responsibility to open our borders to anyone who comes here anymore than we have a responsibility to house anyone who comes to our door.

This Country and ITS GOVERNMENT, belong to the people who are citizens - natural born or legally naturalized - NOT the idiots we elect to office.

Nothing makes me angrier than people who use Christianity to excuse illegal immigration. We ARE being “kind to the stranger.” We’re giving them amnesties, food stamps, medical care, free schooling, etc., etc. But if we are to treat them “the same as the native born,” then that means they are also subject to our laws, the same as the native born are! The law requires illegals be arrested and deported. Humanely, yes...but arrested and deported. That’s not being “unkind to the stranger,” not if the native born also must obey the law!
