Illegals and the Gospel...WWJD

I recently spoke with my brother who lives in Rockwall, Texas and attends a "Mega" church which we fondly refer to as "Church de Soleil".

He asked me what I thought about an outreach that they were about to have in a neighborhood in the immediate area of his church. Now this area is 80% Mexican( I refuse to use the word Hispanic , just like I won't refer to Blacks as African Americans, nor Scottish Americans as such), and he wanted to know if it was a good thing , or the right thing to reach out to these people knowing that the vast majority of them are in this country illegally.

My answer was "ABSOLUTELY", of course we should reach out to people of any race, tribe, nationality. The Gospel should be preached in every nation, even if some nations are taking up residence in your nation. They should be reached with fervor and compassion. It is WWJD of course.

Now that being said, it is also true that when Jesus confronted us about the gospel, or the Scriptures confront us with our sin, it is consistent in telling us to” sin no more". The thief that stole should not steal, the adulterer should not commit adultery anymore, the murderer should not murder, so forth and so on. I think we understand that the gospel should change us and we should try our best to live a life of less sinning, the best we can. Therefore, if the gospel reaches these people then they should, as the scriptures say, 'obey the laws of the land', which is the civil authority of the country they live in.

When we send missionaries to foreign country's we do our very best to comply with the laws of the land in which we go, as a sign of respect for that authority and so that the gospel be not thought of as evil, or disruptive. Now there are circumstances when obeying the Gospel is more important than obey the civil authority, but we still try.

HERE'S THE BIG FINISH....

My ending answer was this.......

If these people are truly converted, which no doubt many will be, to the praise of God Almighty, then they should with the help of the church be repatriated to the country of origin having confessed their sin of being here illegally, and probably stilling another person's identity to work in this country, get welfare, health care and tax refunds from the United States and the great state of Texas that they are not only not entitled to, but are in actuality stealing. They are breaking the Eighth Commandment and being a Commandment breaker myself, I know we should stop in order to be what God desires for us to be.

So, what do you think? Is this harsh? Am I being unreasonable? Have I misrepresented the Scriptures?

P.S........I know I usually post my poetry ,but my wife suggested that readership may go up ,if I take a different approach. I guess we will see.
