I wonder how many citizens in Christs times were illegals or breaking the law. You really think Christ kept running to the Roman soldiers "Hey, HEY....there's a man over there that broke your law, go flog him"
The Roman Empire was over run with illegals (immigrants). The church are citizens FIRST of the Kingdom of God and then second to whatever pathetic nation they are in....our first duty lies with God's laws and his primary law is reaching lost souls
Oh...BTW...God broke Roman law by breaking Paul and Silas out of prison and then the church aided and abetted by lowing him in a basket over the city wall to escape!
