Are you suggesting that those who have continued to break the law over a long period of time should get special treatment over newbie law breakers?

Do you mean enforcing the laws on the books?

What is the long term solution?

For instance, if President Trump were to deport all 15 million undocumented immigrants by January 2029, what would be the subsequent steps?

The next president and Congress may choose not to continue President Trump’s policies and instead implement those of President Biden. Is the nation destined to reverse course every four years, with each administration enacting contrasting immigration policies—such as Democrats favoring more open borders and Republicans focusing on deportation and border security? What permanent, long-term solution can be established to ensure consistent and effective border management regardless of changes in administration?

It is obvious Paul is telling them to stop trying to Be Jew Like, you can only come unto God by faith, not by keeping the Laws of Moses and in that one issue of Salvation we are all the same, bit Gentiles are not Israel, and Jews are not Gentiles, just like even though Women and Men have one way unto Christ (Faith we still have Women & Men.

Faith in what Jesus did on the cross for atonement of our sins.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Just saying.

All Christians believe that. Nothing in that passage requires us to accept that the creation stories in Genesis are literal accurate history, only that God inspired them.

Too few to deport the millions, in a reasonable amount of time, that the Biden Administration allowed to violate our laws.

We need to ramp it up IMO.

You also mustn't be drunk with anything.

I don't drink wine, nor any fermented drink/food.

There's nothing in the Bible we shouldn't eat nor drink sugar. Fruits have sugar.

And I do need sugar in my drinks. It's something about "osmotic balance" or w/e. It's genetic. It doesn't seem to be a defect because my body's unique hydration management also allows me to thrive in dehydration levels that would be fatal to other people.

Hey, Wols:

Found this on your profile pic-

From By the shores of Gitchee-Goomee

Are you an UP-er ?, Northwest Wisconsinite ? North Shore of Minnesota ? Canuck ?

I live in the west-central part of the Lower Peninsula, about 18 miles east of the Lake Michigan beach. I'm in the "transition zone", where large farms fade off and are replaced by large orchards, and eventually, woods, the further north you go. My township only has a total population of about 3,000 souls---the rest is taken up by Federal land consisting of the Manistee National Forest, Michigan state land, and unclassified boondocks.

"Gitchee-Goomee" usually refers to Lake Superior, but it can easily be applied to Lakes Michigan, Huron, Erie, or Ontario. "Meeshee-gama", after all, is simply the Ojibwa word for "big water". ("Meeshee-zeebee", BTW, is Ojibwa for "big river", which is how the river and the state down south got their name.

)

It is. They're all big lakes, to be honest.

I live where the Northern breeze blows free in the trees and the sky blue waters shine.

"Sky blue waters" as in Hamm's, the beer refreshing?

That would be St. Paul, Minnesota, which is a ways from Gitchee-Goomee---but is right smack-dab in the middle of Minnesota's 11,842 lakes.

I am old enough to remember TV commercials featuring this guy---and the jingle. "From the land of sky blue waters", LOL.

Whether it be marriage to an American, or just going through the long process of becoming an American, those people doing the right thing the right way are still be deported because, "ah ha, yes you're going through the process but you're not a citizen yet" and we have a 3,000 per day quota.

If that was the case He would have said so. In that case He would have said the world was flooded, not just "land." There's no way to parse one's way out of accepting that God did not say the world was flooded.

Indeed. This is the kind of thing that we often see from KJV-only people. Neglecting what the words actually mean in Hebrew leads one astray.

I gave you the context...now take the words - but always understand context first. Always context first (since thats most important) - then the words.

The entire land was flooded...every living creature that was on the land died. Noah brought 2 of each for a reason.

Don't be crabby - be smart.

Then will there be inequality of love in Heaven? Will the heavenly love between those who were married on earth be greater in any way that the general love among all in Heaven?

Will those who had few or even no love in the present time thus be eternally short on love in heaven compared to others who enjoyed many loves on earth?

I can't think of a reason why that would be.

The Lord says that there are those who are eunuchs since birth, those who become eunuchs, and there are those who are eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom; i.e. there are those who have devoted themselves to life-long chastity and celibacy. Those many Faithful who were devoted to a life of celibacy and chastity are deprived of nothing; just as those who were married in this life are deprived of nothing.

Likewise, to those who fathered and bore children, the love between parent and child is not destroyed in the Age to Come, but this does not mean that the childless (whether by choice or circumstance) shall be deprived of anything in the Age to Come.

Nothing of our present time compares to the glory and beauty of the Coming Age; where all is made perfect in Christ. All that is good is made perfect; and all who lacked good shall receive perfect good.

Therefore I, having no children of my own, will not be deprived--but shall rejoice and share of the good of all those who did bear children; for all are in Christ, so the commandment "rejoice with those who rejoice" shall it not be be magnified? Could it be any other way? That the commandment which says "Do not envy" and the commandment that says "love one another even as I have loved you" and the commandment that says "rejoice with those who rejoice" shall reach teleos in the perfected glory of Christ in the Age to Come--where not only is there no envying but rather there is but rejoicing in the good of others--so that my brother's joy shall be my joy, and my joy shall be my sister's joy; and our joy shall be perfect in Christ. Do we not read the Apostle saying, "Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind." (Philippians 2:2), if the Apostle desires his joy finding its teleos by the unity of will, love, and commonhood even among the Faithful here and now--how much greater is that joy when these things are eternally true?

We shall not be deprived of each other. And in each other--and we all in Christ--shall be of unspeakable, incomprehensible joy. Beholding what no eye has seen and no ear has heard.

I have several friends who came to the US the legal way. None of them support the illegal entry the Biden administration allowed and yes, some are democrat.
If you come here legally, you're welcome here
Note: Even God has an entrance requirement. No one will be able to get into Heaven without meeting that requirement.

Are you ok with millions of illegal entrants the Biden administration let in during his 4 yr term...or should they be deported?

Biden was not letting people come in illegally. Did he open the asylum process allowing groups like Haitians, Ukrainians, Cubans, and Venezuelans in LEGALLY? yes. Trump did the same thing with (whites only) South Afrikaners. Too many people confuse border encounters, which is an event, as meaning the number of people let in illegally. They are two differing things. Jesus was a displaced immigrant.

I guess...

Destiny 2 (I guess I will keep playing this game)
Dying Light: The Beast (Features 4-player campaign co-op)
Borderlands 4 (I hope it isn't like part 3 which was pretty bad)
Towerborne (Any new DLC would be nice for this one!)
Battlefield 6 (Beta was a blast!)
The Blood of Dawnwalker (From the Devs behind The Witcher games)
The Elder Scrolls 6
Fallout 5
The Last Ronin (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game)

Well kike I said it's a keeping your guns locked issue, rather than a guns being sold to mentally unstable people issue. Which is what it was being made out to be.

I'm not saying he shouldn't have kept his gun locked up in a safe at all times. I'm just saying he probably wasn't expecting his mom to go postal with it. Lots of people keep their guns on display. The ol rifle hanging over the mantlepiece.

Fair, just pointing out that as responsible gun owners we bear the onus to ensure our devices are secure. I hear a lot about "gun rights" but little about "gun responsibility".

President Trump dialed into “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday morning and revealed his newest and truest motivation for brokering an end to the war in Ukraine: He’s worried he might not get into heaven after he dies.

“I want to try and get to heaven, if possible,” he explained. “I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.”

Yes He does have a requirement and here it is:

Leviticus 19:33-34: "When a foreigner resides among you in your land, you must not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God."

Are you quoting the "Old Covenant" Law?

Is obedience to the Torah still a requirement to enter Yah's kingdom?

By the way, the word is גר. Do you know what a גר is? "Foreigner" is a very poor translation.

LoricaLady · Wednesday at 12:00 PM

That is a good prayer. But I hope you you in bear in mind that your number one source of truth is always the Bible if what you have been told does not line up with the truth in the Bible, it is not from your heavenly father.

Here is the law

8 USC 1158: Asylum

"Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), irrespective of such alien's status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or, where applicable, section 1225(b) of this title."

According to this law, anyone may enter the United States and seek asylum, regardless of their method of entry. Until an asylum request is denied, applicants possess temporary legal status. While other laws state that entering the United States without a visa constitutes a felony, current procedures provide that any individual who enters—legally or illegally—and seeks asylum is granted temporary legal status during the process. Due to a shortage of judges to expedite these asylum cases, it may take up to ten years for an asylum application to be accepted or rejected. During this extended period, many applicants establish roots in the United States.

To address unauthorized entry by undocumented immigrants while maintaining a pathway for legal immigration, one approach could be to update current laws so that asylum seekers are required to apply for U.S. asylum from their native country or a neighboring country. Implementing such a change may reduce the number of undocumented immigrants crossing the border.

However, updating or amending existing laws is a substantive process rather than political theatre. As a result Democrats and Republicans tend to engage in debates over issues such as border walls, deportation, and open borders, often without enacting meaningful measures that would actually discourage foreign nationals from risking crossing the U.S. border.

Well yeah, if you're an anti-semite, that's what you'll think.

Yes, because apparently even here in the United States, there are people who think non-Israeli Jews are collectively responsible for what the government of Israel does, (which they have no say in) just read some social media and look at the increasing amount of violence and hatred towards Jewish people in the US and Europe. It's the 1930's all over again, it seems. I hope not.
