There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

Originally posted by square_peg View PostOf course not, nor did anyone ever suggest that. The author has no problem with the word "illegal." She simply has a problem with it being used to refer to foreign immigrants. Besides, there is a significant difference (at least in tone) between saying "What should the government do about those illegal immigrants" and "What should the government do about those illegals?"
I feel like recently everything has become a slur and people are getting offended about everything but definite articles*.
*But now that I think about it, I find your repeated use of the word "the" extremely offensive.I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.

I have to say I don't get how so much of the brunt of the ire is aimed at the kids who had no choice in what their parents did. (Not only the current controversy, but the whole "anchor babies" slur). It's not like they consciously chose to break US law."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

However, I know of one OT professor who distinguishes in a manner similar to the modern categories of legal/illegal: http://www.crossway.org/blog/2010/06...testament-law/"As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

Originally posted by KingsGambit View PostNo idea, but they would have been bound to treat them well barring any further revelation.
The actual point of bringing it up though is that if they didn't have to deal with mass migration it really doesn't matter what Israel did or had to do since a few foreigners and an invading army (like American illegals) are two entirely different things. It's not like God passed laws about things that weren't actually problems.
Actually, up until the modern era masses of foreign invaders would have been put to the sword without anybody raising an eyebrow. Sending millions of people over a border would be an act of war in saner times."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
