The Bible on Trial

Illegal Aliens~

One of the most controversial problems in America (and indeed the world) today is unauthorized immigration. This can be defined as a foreign national entering our country without going through the legal immigration process.  How to deal with the millions of illegals in the USA is a pernicious problem, where good people on both sides are seeing this issue so differently that it is causing a divide between friends, family members, and indeed total strangers. 

JesusBut as with nearly everything that creates animosity and conflict today the base issue is this; do we follow the Law, or not! 

All countries have defined immigration policy-some more strict that others. The USA has one of the most lenient immigration policies of any country in the world, and yet meny in the USA (for whatever reason) want OPEN BORDERS, whereby anyone that has the desire to make the arduous and dangerous trip to our Southern bordes should be allow infettered access to cross into the USA and gain all the privilages of citizenship, without going through the naturalization process.

The Kingdom of the Heavens also has an immigration policy. It is termed "Sanctiication". Many that say they are in the Kingdom of Heaven have entered by climbing over the fence, and not entering through the 'door'.

"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber. John 10:1.

These people have been taught that they do not have to do the hard work of becoming legal citizens in that Kingdom, and want all the benefits without the authority of having accomplished the 'demands of Righteousness'.

"But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God." John 3:21.

Doing Truth is the entry to the Kingdom!
