Yesterday at the STOP Amnesty rally a young and VERY low information voter approached our group. She began criticizing us for our stance on stopping ILLEGAL immigration. She even burped up this line of stupid > Who would Jesus deport? My response to her was threefold: 1.) Jesus Christ was NOT a government official. He was the son of God who came here to preach the good news. Not to set public policy. That said, Jesus did speak about government. What did he command? He commanded the following: Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesars; and unto God the things that are Gods. - Matthew 22:21. Here Jesus made clear that we are to submit to earthly authority so long as that authority does not usurp Gods law. This would include paying our taxes and following the rule of law which includes NOT violating our immigration laws by sneaking over the border, especially when 11 million people are currently waiting in line to come here LEGALLY. 2.) As Allan Wall correctly states. The real question is “Do human governments have the authority to control their borders and deport illegal aliens?” There is nothing in the Bible or Christian doctrine that denies such authority. In fact, in Acts chapter 17, the apostle Paul, in his discourse to the Aereopagus, states that God “…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 of their habitation..” (Acts 17:26, KJV) The Greek word for Nation used in the text is ethnos (ἔθνος), from which derives our English word “ethnic”. We find in this verse a justification for ethnic-based nation states with DEFINABLE BORDERS. 3.) Jesus Christ would NEVER advocate that ANY parent ABANDON their children as young as the age of 5, hand them over to a criminal, put them on a train and send them thousands of miles to a foreign nation with the only tie to mommy and daddy being a phone number written down inside their underwear band. The apostle Paul tells us in 1 Timothy 5:8: But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and ESPECIALLY for members of his OWN HOUSEHOLD, he has DENIED the faith and is WORSE than an unbeliever. None of this made any difference to her because she suffered from the mental illness known as Liberalism. Liberals are RULED, ENSLAVED and GOVERNED by EMOTIONS. However, if you come across someone who does not suffer from this horrible disease this information may be helpful.
