According to the Bible God sees ALL of us as aliens & tenants on HIS land..?
" The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you are but aliens and my tenants."
Why then do we, as humans, feel we have the right to try to keep anyone else from living here or even the right to judge who we deem as worthy enough to come here?
Answer:
cinzwhaine : god may espect you follow the lands law but first he espect you follow his laws !
and remenber if god wants you follow the lands law why is it that Americans invade mexico in 1846 to take over and rape the states of Calif .,NM,AR, NEV.?
Because God also expects you to follow the laws of the land as well.
We are not saying they can't come here, we are saying they have to do it legally. When they are illegal they are breaking laws which break Gods laws. Understand?
We don't.
I think when you take something that was written thousands of years ago,and try to apply it to todays issues,you need to try another direction
A very deep question for the 4th of July.
Man makes laws to govern the countries created by man. It is in a countries best interests to be able to screen applicants to their countries to see who is best qualified to live here.
America, by the way has an outstanding record of taking in refugees as well.
because our laws says it wrong...
Romans 13:1-3
1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you.
besides the land in Leviticus in over in the middle east...
This question is one of the reasons for the continued need of seperation of church and state...
We are entrusted to take care of the land we are given.
Which means that you have to establish lines.
Also you are to respect those who have the land.
How would you feel if I came into your apartment and trash it.
You can't judge me and you can't deem me worthy of not coming into your apartment anytime day or night.
Please when you quote the Bible read more than just a verse and think you understand it all.
We still need to have laws that will protect people. If we let anyone come in and do what they want it will be harder to trace them and arrest them if they decide to murder someone or harm others. The government allows people to migrate here it's just they have to do it right so we have a record of them.
There is a house on Pennsylvania Ave in DC. I would like to live in being that it's God's land, would you check them to see how soon I can move in, after all God said it was mine
I think you may want to place this in the Religious section...the fact stands that God is just a figment of mans imagination and isn't real.
If you are one that believes that he IS real, then Jesus preached that man should respect the LAWS that have been placed on them and that you don't TRESPASS on other people and their property!
July 4th and the Christian Taliban is at it. Go read the 1st amendment to the Constitution. Freedom of religion means freedom from yours.
That's fine, when God can show me his deed to this land I'll believe it but until then, what I have is mine and no one else.
Crazy person. Watch out.
It's the legal/illegal question which has been asked 1 billion different ways. Funny how the same answer works every time.
God might own this land and we are tenants, but that doent mean we have to SUBLET to ANYONE!
The bible? you must be kidding? How could you think about bringing a primitive book into this. This is the 21st century , we have borders and laws that need to be followed by all. The only worthy people are people who came here legally.
Why do you constantly and consistently without wavering for one moment deny God's gift of free will?
