Dave, thank you for the good wishes and please accept mine for you and yours :)
The scripture you quote below is from the Ten Commandments. Do you really beleive that Jesus would say this to those of the currently illegal aliens who are just here to live and work? On what basis is this a tresspass against others? I'm not referring to criminal assaulters (domestic or imported). I would have thought that the Christ described in the Bible would have urged loving compassion rather than hostile rejection of such oppressed people. -Terry Liberty Parker http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TerryLiberty --- In [email protected], "David Macko" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thank you.
