Hi Jan,

In your post, I presume you are referencing Matthew 25:31-46 -- the Sheep and Goat Judgment. Yes, Jesus tells us to feed the hungry and comfort those in prison. But, nowhere in this passage, or anywhere else in the Bible, does He tell us to free the guilty who are in prison. Comfort them, yes. Free them when they are guilty, no.

However, He does tell us in Romans 13:1-2, "Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves."

One more thing.. If you are going to use this verse as your argument then do you condemn those in China who practice Christianity even though they are breaking the law? What about Hitlers laws that imprisoned and exterminated Jews, mentally and physically handicapped people? Do you think those Nazi soliders and German citizens that carried those laws out were doing what Jesus wanted? It was the law of the land so I am assuming from your other post you think they did the right thing.....

Hi Jan,

Does God like the workings of men like Hitler? No, but He will use such men and their actions; just at He used Pharaoh in Egypt.

He used the evil of Pharaoh to bring His chosen people, Israel, to their promised land.

And, He used the evil of Hitler to bring His chosen people, Israel, back to their promised land, Israel, in 1948.

God hates evil. But, since man in inherently evil and will do evil to other men -- God will sometimes use that to accomplish His plan for man.

However, keeping illegal immigrants out of America is NOT an evil act, nor an unGodly act. It is an act of protecting our homes, our country, and our families.

If America did as you and the protesters want -- throw open our borders to any and all; America would quickly become worse than a third world country. Is that what you want? Is that your "Social Agenda" for America and Americans?

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill
