this passage seems to suggest that unfair laws should be fought pacifically
2006-11-08 15:17:24 · update #1
i do not think breaking the law is ok but when the law is unfair it must be fought with out remorse . illgeals today get all kind of abuses and it all because of unfair laws which do not recognize they are just like anybody else with weekness yes but also with a hearth to be good people .

I know the Bible has this to say about aliens:
Exodus 22:21 (NIV)
"Do not mistreat an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in Egypt.
Exodus 23:9 (NIV)
9 "Do not oppress an alien; you yourselves know how it feels to be aliens, because you were aliens in Egypt.
Leviticus 19:10 (NIV)
Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus 19:33 (NIV)
When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him.
A lot of people try to argue that this means LEGAL aliens but there was no such thing as LEGAL or ILLEGAL aliens back in that time. It just mean ALIENS. PERIOD.

The concept in the Bible is one of removing onself from the position of being in violation of the law. The Bible doesn't talk about ignoring a law because you don't like it. It talks about finding non-violent ways to either avoid being in violation or to change the law.
In the immigration context, that means not being present in a country illegally. Or working to get the law changed before violating it. It doesn't mean breaking the law and hoping you don't get caught.

Perhaps you should look to the tao for an answer to this. Footnote; Pennsylvanias commonwealth constitution says ; if the people are at any time dissatisfied with their govt. they have the right to bear arms against it. I myself believe there is a peaceful solution to every problem... Watch the Dali Lama for guidance... Patience Grasshopper.

you forget a law in the Bible that stands higher than any passage...a commandment.
FOLLOW ALL LAWS OF THE LAND YE SHALL LIVE UPON.
meaning follow the laws for where you live....illegals are not following the laws of the land, period.
end of discussion

The bible also says that "give onto Caesar what is Caesar's, and give onto God what is God's".
And by the way, not all illegals are seeking a pacifist way out of their actual status (did those protests where they wave Mexican flags and burn US flags or that riot in a campus where a Minuteman was going to speak look peaceful to you?)

if you are referring to gods law the bible specifically states who so ever shall take away from my word so his salvation shall be taken away, and who soever adds unto my word his damnation shall be adds 7 fold, Now if you are referring to mans law , god doe.s not give directions as to how to change or repeal as he is only concerned about the hereafter

Those who don't agree with the law should go home.
Illegals are not seeking for a pacifist way out, they are simply attaching to us. Leeches do that. Enough leeches and the host dies.
Remember that.
Goodbye.

That makes absolutely no sense no matter WHAT country you come from OR what 'religion' you believe in. The 'bible' says of lot of contradictory things. OUR LAW says you DO NOT come INTO the USA without documentation or you will be deported, possibly fined and/or imprisoned. You don't like it . LEAVE.

LOL...the bible is NOT a point of reference to justify crime. You are very wrong to try to use it to cover the illegal and immoral activity of those whom you defend. Terrorists also mis represent "Gods Laws" in their attempt to justify killing.
