Christians: What would Jesus do about illegal immigration, Please cite scripture if you can?
Answer:
All I can say is that JESUS is LOVE. And in his scripture says that he lets rain pour over good and bad, he lets sunshine over good and bad. When GOD created the heavens and the EARTH he didn't divide or put borders so people wouldn't have contact with eachother right? The humans have become more evil WHY? Because people don't seek GODs grace over them. More than never, we have to be united like brothers and sisters. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ our Lord. You might ask yourself how come we are all different colors and races? Read the story of the TOUR OF BABEL, and there you will find you answer.
i am pretty sure your jesus would be aginst breaking the law.
HE APPARENTLY BELIEVED IN SLAVERY (SEE TEN COMMANDMENTS) SO HE PROBABLY WOULD LIKE SEEING THEM KICKED OUT.
"thou shalt not immigrate illegally"
Coastguardians 3:16
Luke 20:19-26
He said to them, "Then give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."
You mean like 'the poor will always be with us'
and 'render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's'
And then there is the all popular, though not by Jesus 'Thou shallt not covet that which is thy neighbors'
I have no doubt Jesus could multiply all of our bread and fishes (and schools and hospitals) to cover all, were he here. Unfortunately, we don't have that power, so we need to conserve those we built to help our children, our sick and our poor.
What we do know is this, he would not be for breaking the law.
No human being is illegal
Jesus said :'render unto Ceasar, that which is Ceasars'
(so, enforce existing law? I can only guess, I cant speak for our Lord)
also
from Sirach 11:
29
Bring not every man into your house, for many are the snares of the crafty one;
30
Though he seem like a bird confined in a cage, yet like a spy he will pick out the weak spots.
31
The talebearer turns good into evil; with a spark he sets many coals afire.
32
The evil man lies in wait for blood, and plots against your choicest possessions.
33
Avoid a wicked man, for he breeds only evil, lest you incur a lasting stain.
34
Lodge a stranger with you, and he will subvert your course, and make a stranger of you to your own household.
People all over the world are all God's children. Jesus would accept them unconditionally.
I guess I was asleep at the part where it read thou shall not invade the U.S., Can you recite this to me?. I think Jesus would agree one should not live off of another, don't you?
Well he was a carpenter so i guess he would want support building a big wall around the Nation . the guy has to eat right ...
Borders are political and nothing to do with Jesus or God..God made humans, humans make enemies.
Im pretty sure Jesus died for everyones sins not just the people that think they are better than others. You all should go back to church and pray. Sure he would not be for breaking any "mans" laws but you all have done it. Running a stop sign, speeding, forgeting to pay for somehting and never going back. Dont throw stones if you live in glass houses....WWJD
I like the quote render (give up) unto Caesar what is Caesars. The clear meaning is that we are to obey the laws of the land, but some Christians believe that they have the moral authority to violate our nations immigration laws, and give sanctuary to illegal aliens. I say put those people who aid illegal aliens in prison. Check out this article.
Council of Churches: Undermining American Law and Christian Values
By George Weissinger
"You have made my house a den of robbers."
Hypocrites often use the Lord's name to promote their agenda. Mary Dewar believes that Jesus broke laws He believed were unjust. In so doing, such activists promote breaking the law, especially as the law relates to immigration, ignoring the rules and allowing illegal aliens to live in the US without fear of apprehension, or removal.
The Ten Commandments serve as the guide for all Christians but there is no reference to harboring illegal aliens in those laws. What we commonly refer to as mala in se laws include murder, rape, robbery, adultery and behaviors we would agree are reprehensible. The mala prohibita offenses such as parking ticket violations, and, yes, immigration violations (illegal aliens) were hardly the concern of The Prophet.
I do not sit with deceitful men, nor do I consort with hypocrites;

Jesus loves all it don't matter what color or what you speak Jesus says love thou neighbor we all are brother and sisters
Romans 13
Submission to the Authorities
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. 4For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience. 6This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing. 7Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
Leviticus 24:22 the alien resident should be treated as a native of yours.
