Moderators Gerr Posted April 16, 2016 Moderators Posted April 16, 2016 My duty as a follower of Christ is clear. But, should the Canadian gov't do the same for all who come illegally to Canada and provide all the perks that citizens enjoy? Quote
Stan Posted April 16, 2016 Author Posted April 16, 2016 There are about 160,000 people who are in Canada and been given orders to depart, plus a larger number that have not been caught. They are primarily Desi-Indian and Filipinos. Over all it is not much of an issue with most Canadians. HOWEVER a few of them are nasty.

Stan Posted April 16, 2016 Author Posted April 16, 2016 I just returned from the refugee camps in South Sudan.. about a week ago. there villages swelled to 2-3 time their size. The stories break my heart. Doing a story on one young woman who was at the clinic in her hometown, all was well, security and food were good, as she headed home gun fire erupted and she fled with her 2 month old baby. She had no idea if her other 3-4 children were safe or killed. She walked 68 miles ( maybe 68 kilometres ) to another village, the people there sacrificed, giving up almost 1/2 of what they owned. The miracle to her is this, her children are safe as well as her husband, they landed in the same place. She thanks God for that. The reports coming back from her previous home, is this, all is lost or burned out. The poorest people seem to give the most. I know this is not the same as the issues in the North American or Europe, the timing was the same for me.

Under the current process, could a 18-20 year old Gerry get a Visa to work in the US today? AND how long would it take? perhaps it is more possible than I have been lead to understand.

Stan Posted April 16, 2016 Author Posted April 16, 2016 I do not want to suggest that I know the answers to what Gov't should do, that will take a miracle to solve, I do know what I need to do in my neighbourhood and community.

But, should the Canadian gov't do the same for all who come illegally to Canada and provide all the perks that citizens enjoy? The "command" in Lev 19 is to a theocracy,not a secular government. There is a lot more instruction given than throwing out immigration laws and allowing all in that choose to come enter. Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It's not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument, or your age that is to blame. You and only you are responsible for every decision and choice you make, period ... ... Wish more people would realize this. Quotes by Susan Gottesman
bonnie Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 “Assemble the people, the men and the women and children and the alien who is in your town, so that they may hear and learn and fear the Lord your God, and be careful to observe all the words of this law”Deut. 31:12 The alien is expected to assimilate to the culture and laws of the host country. Not to demand that the culture he/she is fleeing be honored in the country they chose to come to. Odd how those in favor of open borders and unlimited immigration,legal or illegal run to the OT and parade this "command" and deny so much of the other commands of the OT There is no single biblical command to accept any and all ,regardless of their intent towards the citizens of the country. While christians have responsibilities towards all those in need,those in need have responsibilities towards those they "DEMAND" help them. It isn't just the radical alien that is bent on doing harm that causes reservations. When the alien sues honest hardworking businesses because their specific beliefs aren't taken into account that is abuse. To provide sanctuary cities to those that have committed crimes is a twisting of the "city of refuge" of biblical times aka 1 Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.

LifeHiscost Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 I know that if I take care of the stranger and traveler as I have opportunity, the Person Who asked me to, has multiplied promises that assures my future. God is Love!~Jesus saves! Quote Lift Jesus up!!
Moderators Gerr Posted April 27, 2016 Moderators Posted April 27, 2016 If I were in the same poverty-stricken shoes like many of these illegals, I'd probably try to get into a better place anyway I can. Can a 20-24 yo Gerry get into the US or Canada today? Aren't people with graduate science degrees still given priority? Stan 1 Quote
Ron Amnsn Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 The "love" that Leviticus 19:34 is talking about is not the wimpy sentimental kind of love that we often see expressed now days. The "stranger" dwelling in Israel was also subject to God's Law and to the same penalties that the Israelites were subject to, which included death or banishment for certain transgressions. Sometimes "loving your neighbor" meant stoning him, according to the Law. And of course it meant that he would be willing to do the same for you. Loving the stranger is a commandment, not a suggestion. Quote
