"my precious democrats" is acting as if i am aligned with a party. i am not democrat. i am trying to look at this as person of faith and not behind a political party of choice. and jesus did not condemn a woman caught in adultery.... hmmm. maybe he would also not turn in an illegal alien. you keep quoting laws of the land, but if we never challenged the laws of the land we would not be where we are at today in this fine country. we would still have slaves, women still would not be able to vote, and many race issues would not have moved forward. <BR/><BR/>i am trying to read hr 447, so i can make an intelligent stance, but it is a bit long. so i'm not sure how you are asking me to take a stance and stick to it. i have not taken a stance but only quoted some passages like Lev 24:22 that states we should treat them like people who live in our country. <BR/><BR/>you have not responded how you interpet that passage in our day and age, but i am sure you can. no offense taken.J-Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12216721439255701966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21496961.post-1143593543238649892006-03-28T16:52:00.000-08:002006-03-28T16:52:00.000-08:00i knew this one would awaken the giant within you....i knew this one would awaken the giant within you. i am asking questions... the link you gave to read the issues did not go through. so i cannot tell you if the "laws of the land" are unbiblical unless i am able to really come to a better understanding of the laws. so i will withhold my thoughts on that, except that the bible does teach us to take care of the foreigner, to actually clothe and feed them. so i will investigate if i can support these laws as a person of faith.<BR/><BR/>but here are some intial comments for fun: i am sure some radical groups are not trying to back a better solution that what the law may or may not describe (again i have not been able to read). that is where people of faith need to look for a better way. one that is not one side or the other but that respects people and finds a better solution, a third way. <BR/><BR/>i know if kids are left homeless and put into the foster care system because their parents are deported is not the solution. i know that a teacher who loves thier students and would be forced to turn them in becuase they are not legal is not the solution. i know that someone being forced to deport grandma that is dying is not the solution. i know that jesus would challenge us to better understand how to love our "chicano pride" neighbors. and not just call them names and maybe even show them a better way.<BR/><BR/>i am not making this a racist issue and you should also separate me from the people who are waiving flags and banners. they are not the issue. the issue are the people who will be affected. and the bible is clear that people of faith should be concerned about how people are treated. just becuase we do not burn and mame people here in america is not the issue. the issue is whethter what we do is something me as a person of faith would like to support. whether it is in the best economical situation for our government or not.J-Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12216721439255701966noreply@blogger.com
