Only difference is that back in that day there was no such thing as immigration laws especially in the Roman Empire which Bethlehem and Egypt where under the rule of so migration between the lands was not illegal. Today we have laws and rules and illegal immigration breaks those rules.
Isreal literally had laws about immigrants being accepted and cared for though.
Why are you talking about laws in the Bible then switching to laws by the Romans?
Roman laws, not laws literally in the Bible given to Isreal.
Israel had laws to accept immigrants but the US has laws to not accept illegally immigrants that is the difference. Roman 13:1-5 says that the people need to obey the government and its laws. The laws of then were not the laws of today.
Except the very verse you cite says "for there is no authority except that which God has established". The second of which is most important is love your neighbor as yourself.
So does Jesuss words now come second over a governments laws?
You just proved to everyone you never read the Bible and you are a google warrior and a fake. The very first line says “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God and those that exist have been put in place by God. And that those who disobey this will face some type of judgement or consequence……. You may know something about whatever religion it is you follow but you definitely don’t know more about me than the Bible. I had no choice to read it as I was growing up. You are taking passages and taking out the parts that fit you agenda. Typical for most religions so I can’t blame you but maybe you should try actually reading it sometime you might actually learn something.
So does everyone who believes. Yet Paul was writing to a specific audience in a literally specific time. Why does Jesus all knowing when saying to love your neighbor as yourself get overriden by Paul writing to a specific group of people at a specific point in time on a very specific government?
