Jesus saves believers from the Lake of Fire. However, Jesus saves ALL people from eternal death. I believe that you are misunderstanding 1 Timothy 4:10.

Here's another:
1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
Context. All that believe.

Lol,, not so,, really you are told to see those in authority over you as ordained by God https://biblehub.com/interlinear/romans/13.htm and so if you(or an immigrant) intend on obeying God then you really should obey the Constitution.
My brother, I believe that God wants us to be kind and welcoming to both citizens and immigrants and that is what I will continue to do.

That's not what it says or implies. Your argument isn't with me, it's with God..
No, your argument is with God. The entire NT does not align with your eisegesis.

You take one verse and insist that verse vacated the entire Gospel. You shall not be moved.
You are wrong.

Those who mistreat immigrants do so at their own peril. You have been warned.

Matthew 22:34-40
But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

those who hyper focus on certain Scripture and ignore other parts are in danger of peril.

California moves to give unemployment benefits to illegal immigrants as border crisis grows

https://thepostmillennial.com/calif...nts-as-border-crisis-grows?utm_campaign=64487

Democrat politicians in California have been considering a proposal that will grant illegal aliens residing in the state the ability to receive unemployment benefits, as Title 42 expired last week.

Sen. María Elena Durazo (D), who sponsored the bill, lamented that illegal aliens "continue to be shut out from California’s economic success" despite their work in industries such as agriculture, clothing and construction, according to Fox News.

Teenage Migrant Died in U.S. Custody of Possible Seizure

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/honduran-migrant-death-custody/2023/05/16/id/1120027/

Be sure to watch the video. This border crisis remains out of control.
It will continue to be out of control as long as the Biden administration is in power. The whole country is out of control, especially crime and violence, particularly in blue cities. The USA is circulating the toilet bowl as the water is going down the drain.

Even in the OT when God said be kind to the sojourner and foriegner among you, He also held them to the same standard of the law, while excluding them from the temple. They were expectes to come work do commerce and then move on as was customary, not come and bend a culture to their demands, or live off of the system. They registered at the city gate and paid what ever tax was levied and did their business. Sneaking in at night or over a wall or under a fence was not acceptable, and emposing their culture was not accepted.

In regard to immigration, an example worth emulating, an enforcing.

If you want to apply Leviticus, then YES, you have to treat those from other lands as those native born, including stoning them to death if they do not observe the law of Moses, or follow the living God. Now I don't think we need to go around killing people for disagreeing with us these days, or even disagreeing with God, for He will avenge himself. But if you want to look to the law for such instruction, then you can't pick and choose. There is no way any foreigner would have been accepted, or lived in Israel in those days, if they disobeyed God. The same book of the law condemns that, as much as it condemns those who rejected God's faithful people from any nation. Look at Ruth if you want a good example of an acceptable outsider living in the camp as it were, brought from another land but whose God was that of the Israelites, and she became part of the Israelite lineage.

God, is a God of order. there are laws put into place to protect us and them. every one is welcome, when we are almost are Forst to take shots, and there's no money too take care of our vets, then they let thousands of people in the us, we don't know who they are and they might be good people or bad people, no plan to put all these people ,any ware. what if they have covid 19 , ,I say they should come into the country like every one ells, learn our way of life, don't try and change it, all of this is done on purpose, and when they rase your tax's who do you think it goes to, not to our homeless, not to our vets , go's to people who come here illegally, how ever we need to pray for all the people who come here in this manner, they need Jesus to,
