Why We Are Going to Hell – Part 3,995
Conservative Protestants Condone Law-Breaking
Has the Christian Church Gone Crazy???

Paul L. Williams, Ph.D.
Evangelical Christians this week offered the Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) and members of the U.S. Senate Immigration Reform Committee their ringing endorsement of full amnesty for the 20 to 30 million illegal aliens within the country.
Open borders and high immigration, the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) proclaimed, increases membership in evangelical churches and is good for the economy.
Rev. Leith Anderson, president of the NAE, said there was no dissent among the members of his organization in ratifying a pro-amnesty resolution.
He testified that the Gospel requires that Christians be willing to forgive illegal aliens for breaking existing immigration laws and statutes.
Rev. Anderson added: “We believe that undocumented immigrants who have otherwise been law abiding members of our communities should be offered the opportunity to pay any taxes or penalties owed, and over time earn the right to become U.S. citizens and permanent residents. The process of redemption and restitution is core to Christian beliefs, as we were all once lost and redeemed through love of Jesus Christ.”
The NAE describes itself as “. . . a network of 40 denominations comprising more than 45,000 local churches located in every congressional district and every state.”
Most of the member denominations uphold a literal interpretation of scripture and intransigent support for traditional values. The list of includes:
- Anglican Mission in America
- Assemblies of God
- Brethren in Christ Church
- Christian Reformed Church in North America
- Church of God
- Church of the Nazarene
- Churches of Christ In Christian Union
- Conservative Lutheran Association
- Evangelical Assembly of Presbyterian Churches
- Evangelical Presbyterian Church
- Evangelical Free Church of America
- Fellowship of Evangelical Churches
- Free Methodist Church of North America
- General Association of General Baptist
- International Church of the Foursquare Gospel
- International Fellowship of Christian Assemblies
- International Pentecostal Church of Christ
- International Pentecostal Holiness Church
- Presbyterian Church in America
- Primitive Methodist Church USA
- Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America
- The Brethren Church
- The Christian & Missionary Alliance
- The Evangelical Church
- The Salvation Army
- The Vineyard, USA
- Transformation Ministries
- United Brethren in Christ
- US Conference of the Mennonite Brethren Churches
- The Wesleyan Church Corporation
The position of the NAE remains incomprehensible to many conservative Christian conservatives, including Rev. Judith Schmitt of Puritan Congregation Church in Scranton, PA. “It’s outrageous for any Christian or Christian organization to condone law-breaking,” Rev. Schmitt said. “Forgiveness is central to the Christian doctrine but approval and reward of wrong-doing is not.”

Others, including conservative writer Patrick J. Buchanan, wonder why the endorsement of plans to grant full amnesty fails to create national outrage. He points out that while 25 million Americans remain unemployed or underemployed, “8.5 million U.S. jobs are held by illegal aliens who broke into the country or overstayed their visas.”
Senator Schumer and other advocates for amnesty argue that illegals take jobs that Americans are unwilling to accept.
This argument has been laid to rest by a raid on six Swift & Co. meatpacking plants which rounded up 1,200 illegal aliens, 10 percent of the workforce. The raid failed to create any employment problems for Swift. In a matter of weeks, the plants were operating at full force – - manned by hundreds of native-born Americans who were delighted to take the jobs.
Says Vanderbilt University Professor Carol Swain, “Whenever there’s an immigration raid, you find white, black and legal immigrant labor lining up to do these jobs Americans will supposedly not do.”
The uncomplicated fact is that E-Verify WORKS! And it is up, running and operational, so that illegal foreign workers other than a few using counterfeit documents will be discovered and eliminated from the workplace. It’s easy to understand why the Special interest lobbyists want it dropped, because it has grown in popularity and more sincere Pro-American companies are using it? Another simple fact is that its—SUCCEEDING! It is now hurting the elusive Council of Foreign Relations agenda to destabilize American workers and substitute even more cut-rate labor. The CFR are not even a government agency, but a Quasi agency that is a kind of sinister think tank. For years they have been formatting their power to undo the poorly built border fence, wreck inspections at airports, so millions more can pour into American and steal jobs. Nor does matter to the illicit ACLU, a communist inspired group or business consortium’s, who owe no loyalty to US workers? It is a case of drowning America in low wage recruits, who are not just working in the fields, but janitors, fast food, factories, warehouses and higher paying jobs then citizens and legal employees realize?. AMERICAN WORKERS MUST MAKE A STAND. Anybody who legally displays the E-Verify sign should get the customers dollars, those who don’t comply should be absolutely BOYCOTTED. I go to El Pollo Loco, but not to McDonalds-because I haven’t seen the E-Verify sign yet? Same I only try to buy AMERICAN? But that is even becoming more indefinable, because many parts of products are imported in from cheap labor countries, killing our own manufacturing base. WE ARE SELF-INFLICTING OUR OWN WOUNDS?
The same with not training our own workers and instead imported significantly more labor from other lands by the millions each year. Thus we cheat our own industries. We can beat this, by electing politicians who sign a–CONTRACT– stating American workers come first? Not those just affirming an oath of office, since to many it’s meaningless. These contracts can be published and shown to the public and the national media. We are cutting our own throats in so many ways, because many bona-fide US Americans don’t bother to vote the political corruption–OUT OF OFFICE. Most of the lawmakers are out for gain, not truly there to protect the American poor, not protecting our vulnerable senior’s, not even really protecting our military, if they even come home? With the health care reform as a major issue, then research you’re local, state of federal lawmaker and locate their screened interests in pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, insurance, billing companies or anything that exudes money? They are just coveting their own interests? THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE THE ULTIMATE POWER, TO STOP THIS TRAVESTY OF OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS.
The pit of Vipers led by Sen. Harry Reid and joined by Liberal Democrat leaders last week–KILLED–by a vote of 61 to 38 shot down Senator Vitters amendment of that would have withdrawn federal funds to–SANCTUARY CITIES AND STATES. It is more taxpayer money being stolen to support illegal families, gang members and other heinous criminals who broached our laws. The IRS is actually extracting the money you earn, to take it in April, to support Anchor families included with the 20 million to thirty million people that should be ejected from our nation. Homeland security run by Napolitano is in deep collusion with sleaze that is catered to in Washington. Perhaps–just perhaps if we used public funding for election Campaigns for the politicians, it would assist in removing the corruption in DC, severing the lobbyists. Speaker of the House is another problem, who runs her vineyards with illegal foreign workers in CALIFORNIA. But that is just scratching the surface of both parties as they are perpetually involved in running the country for the globalists.
Only if we stand together and demand E-Verify program, our uniformed police right to question and detain people of unauthorized immigration status 287 G? Hopefully next year Americans will see through the greed, in the Senate and house and start by–REMOVING–Sen. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. Both have millions of illegal aliens living off taxpayers in California and Nevada. GO and investigate their immigration grading and every lawmaker at NUMBERSUSA website. Vote them out? WE MUST HAVE E-VERIFY AS A MANDATED LAW, SEN. HARRY REID SOLD US OUT TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER. CALL YOUR LEGISLATORS TODAY AT 202-224-3121 and give them an ULTIMATUM. Businesses that hire the millions of illegal aliens are bleeding us dry, because we pay for the health care and education and for hundreds of thousands in the prisons. Your tax dollars are paying for warm cells and California has the largest proportion of any state. MAKE ENTERING AMERICA A CLASS ONE FELONY, LIKE OTHER DEVELOPED COUNTRIES. EVEN MEXICO YOU ARE DRAGGED INTO ONE OF THOSE REPUGNANT PRISONS.
Now they want to push another BLANKET AMNESTY upon us. The Democrats have promised those already here a path to citizenship, that defies all logic. It means access to our health care reform instantly, totalization of social security with those from South of the border. It means sharing your retirement with the majority of foreign nationals who been sponging of Americans for decades. It means more welfare for the old, the indigent who will follow on, through chain migration. It means your living standards falling to that of third world existence. If Amnesty passes do you think for one minute that those without hope in other countries are—NOT–going to pour through our porous border? I’m getting old, but I fear for my son’s future, my family. I have my pensions, but where do you stand? Will you get a pension upon retirement? Our infrastructure has suffered, because we send our young people to fight foreign wars for special interests. For years those who supposedly embody us in Washington, have seriously neglected our road, rail, utilities and communications network. The special interests are the multi-national companies, who have no loyalty to America, the people or the US Constitution. Then there are the majority of our politicians, who have slowly succumbed to business handouts? The only thing they have any loyalty to, is filling their own bank accounts with campaign contributions and undisclosed lucrative gifts. DID AMERICA COME ALL THIS WAY TO SINK BELOW A LAYER OF GREED AND UNBELIEVABLE CORRUPTION IN WASHINGTON, SINCE THE TIME OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION?
You will notice that Southern Baptists are NOT on the list of those seeking amnesty for criminals. I’m a proud Southern Baptist.
A question for you to ask yourself – are you modeling your life after Jesus or the media pundits (a question all of us are politically inclined should ask)?
Where does it say in the Bible that providing amnesty to “illegal aliens” will condemn our country to hell, or even give the principle that would lead a person to believe this? I don’t recall reading anything about documentation when God tells Israel to care for the “alien, fatherless, and the widow” multiple times in the Bible, and that in fact God calls his people to care for and provide for people who don’t have what they need in order to survive.
I’d also be interested in the example of Jesus you look to in the Bible as your model of the hatred you spew toward people with whom you disagree politically. I cannot imagine Jesus speaking to anyone, even the Pharisees, who lived by the letter of the law without allowing the spirit of the law to sink into their heart, in this way.
I submit these thoughts as a concerned, imperfect Christian, and while I may not struggle with these same things it appears that you do, I certainly have my own issues that I need God to work on in my own heart.

Who divided the world into NATIONS? Why?

Lots of Liberals among the Southern Baptists would, unfortunately, agree with the “open border” “Christians”
Dear fellow Christians, I am writing this email in an effort to remind you that Love, Christianity, Fellowship and caring begins at home. With so many fellow Christians and Americans out of work I would like you to give your support to a new more Christian like effort to stop endorsing huge new increases in perma= nent work permits for
foreign workers as well as giving amnesty to illegal aliens.
A person should take care of all his own people. Most important, he
should take care of his own family. If a person does not do that, then he does not accept the {true} faith (teaching).
That person is worse than a person who does not believe.
1 Timothy 5:8 (ERV)
The time for politics should come to an end. Christianity begins at home.
With Love and Respect, Peter Mercure
