Biblical view on immigration, borders and the stranger. Borders were not established to limit individuals, they were established to limit government. The biblical principle of borders was: individuals can move freely, governments cant! The same principal protected the nation from foreign invaders, for a foreign invasion was a foreign government overstepping its boundaries. Fewer things reveal more clearly the foolishness of modern american christianity than this inability to distinguish between immigration and invasion! And the difference is very clear; one is an act by individuals and therefore is legitimate and allowed, and the other is an act of the government overstepping its boundaries. Today we have turned the biblical concept of boundaries on its head: We believe our government has the right to over step any boundary around the world and we cheer for our government invading other nations and murdering civilians and children around the world. And we have supported laws that actually limit the freedom of individuals. And then we wonder why that same government oversteps its boundaries at home and limits our freedom. We have ourselves to blame, as Christians, we did this to ourselves with our biblical ignorance and our eager adoption of pagan anti-christian concepts and ideologies concerning civil government, borders and immigration. Could it be that we have been hypocritically babbling about evangelism and preaching the gospel and missions, and when God sends His people to evangelize right here at our front door we have demanded that they be deported or gunned down? And could it be that the creeping totalitarianism in the United States is largely due to our own blindness in giving the civil government power over the individuals that God never gave it? In the american church today there is no danger if we speak out, we have not simply passively acquiesced with the evil laws of a pagan regime, we have actively rooted for those laws and have demanded even more evil and ani-christian policies and then we expect God to be pleased with our liturgies and Sunday pageants. In the face of our sending the slaves and poor of the world back into their concentration camps.
