Re: Your answer to illegal immigration.
I need to recant something.
In light of my DESPERATE NEED for the Grace of God, I would not turn in an illegal alien to the appropriate law enforcement authorities if he/she were a Holy Ghost filled brother or sister in Christ.
If they are within my sphere of influence, I would do all that I can to influence them to make the lawful decision-- via prayer and direct confrontation.
I would be as understanding, helpful and godly as I can while I deal with my brother who has such a pervasive sin problem.
If my efforts to influence the brother or sister to do right come up vain, I would go to church leadership.
If that didn't work, I'd probably avoid them, shun them whatever.
I wouldn't just report them to law enforcement.
If the illegal immigrant is outside the "Body of Christ", I would go to law enforcement as quickly as I possibly could.
I have so little tolerance for illiegal aliens, but I do have tolerance for my brother or sister who is dealing with the sin in their lives.
