migration and reconciliation

 

Daniel Groody states “the theme of movement and migration are interwoven into the fabric of our relationship with God” and “the scriptures reveal to us a God who migrates to God’s people,

eliciting a response of faith and a homeward journey” Let’s be clear now, immigration is not migration, and illegal immigration is not migration. A Leftist would have you believe differently. Do not cave to their language and games with semantics. We absolutely have a crisis in the world with people emigrating from some countries to others. We all must be careful about the language that we use to describe realities of everyday life and politically charged situations.  Do not cave to the mainstream.  Hang-on and pray.

 

In an attempt to be nice about theology and justice Don McLellan attempts to “explore what I (he) regard as three essential elements in atonement theology: justice, forgiveness, and reconciliation”  In terms of who should forgive (black/white, North/South etc…) whom, should their be forgiveness for those who promote negligence about immigration?  God forgives, but the elements of forgiveness are crucial to understand.  Also, as far as owning one’s color or lack thereof, we should stick to these principles that McLellan lays out.  “Justice without forgiveness cannot produce reconciliation. Forgiveness without reconciliation is possible, but by definition it leaves the relationship issues unresolved. And while reconciliation obviously cannot occur without forgiveness, there are important reasons for insisting that when forgiveness i£ offered, to overlook justice is to endanger the whole concept of forgiveness” As this applies to immigration, it must be understood that the claim to lands is at play here.  Justice would be allowing the owner of the land be the true owner.  How this is figured out, there needs to be a neutral party willing to help negotiate this or immigration needs to stop.  Reconciliation is a tall order and can it be done?  Simple question, complex answers.  I admit this is a weak post, but I am walking on eggshells.
