No more than wanting to have sex.
It depends on how one goes about it.
The problem with Christians taking a "soft" stance on illegal immigration is that, inevitably, that soft position will cause one to compromise on sin.
Either it is sin to break the natural laws that do not violate the Bible or not.
Yes, God forgives, but it can't be the norm for Christians to sin-- that would be called lasciviousness, right?
So
eventually, the Holy Ghost filled illegal alien Christians should be expected and encouraged to do right by the law and correct their status-- even if it means they have to go back to wherever they came from, which is the option I prefer for ALL illegal aliens.
Is there any other sin that we can tolerate, excuse, brush under the rug, act like it's not an issue? Or maybe I'm being legalistic.
Maybe we should start classifying sins into categories of "abominable", "very wicked", "evil", "slightly sinful", and "sinful but understandable."
Based off of basic Biblical concepts of right and wrong and the account of Philemon, illegal aliens, Christians or not, should leave on their own accord or be "escorted" out, if necessary.
No one is perfect, and I need God's Grace daily.
I forgive those who offend me and I work at not holding grudges.
But I am not wrong to call sin what it is.
I am not wrong to excuse it.
I love everybody.
