God would have not sent them or made sure there was some authority to grant them permission. God does not do evil. LIke when Jesus sent the apostles to prepare a room for the Passover he made sure there was someone there to show them that room. They did not bust into someone house and take over. Luke 22:8 “Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.””
God does not send anyone into trouble? Prison? Death?

John 21:18
18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you girded yourself and walked where you would; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish to go.”
welfare, schools, health care etc
So you think that illegal aliens are getting welfare and health care?
 
I was talking about the Holy Family fleeing from the jurisdiction of Herod… He was the lawful authority
OK I see what you are asking. So Herod had an arrest warrant for Mary and Joseph but they fled to another country and sought asylum or they just settled there and no one cared. I don’t know if Egypt had an Extradition order to send back fugitives. Back in those days countries wanted people to do work, pay taxes and make money for the kingdom. I don’t think they cared about sending criminals back. Did Herod ask the king of Egypt for Mary to come back? Herod was the legal authority in his land.
 
OK I see what you are asking.
Is a person in “sin” for moving across borders just because the lawful authority declares they should not do so? Was the Holy Family committing a sin because they fled the jurisdiction of Herod against his decree?

Not a law against it in Egypt but I’m sure Herod was ticked off. Yes if you have a warrant out for your arrest you should submit to the laws of the land. However they did not have American system of justice so sin is justified but God will judge such actions in the end. Are we to judge here? sure as best we can. Is Islam jurisprudence a requirement to submit to especially for a Kafir?
 
I think you lost me here!
Not hard, we are a system of rules with a bill of rights, no other time in history has there not been a more fair government. Not so in ancient times of kings and totalitarianism. We you have a dictator you can justify not obeying the law, however when you have justice God wants you to obey civil authorities.

I think you are saying that a dicatator is not a just ruler? You did not explain why “sin is justified”?

Let’s say United states is out to get you. The church feels you have a right to escape unjust trials and unfair prosecution. Example if Trump did not want you to hold mass and you did it otherwise and had to leave the country. I think the church is saying that is a just cause to obey God and not Caesar.

We’re not a dictatorship, I’ll grant, but you’re going to have a hard time making a case for the bolded. Even if the U.S. does comparatively better, that’s not a free pass to justify every law that passes within its government.

I agree, but where you lost me is saying that “sin is justified”. There are justifications for disobeying the civil laws, but if those reasons are for a higher moral order, then how can it be a sin?

The millions of aborted babies might testify that this is the most fair government in history.
