    I think it is okay to break laws that require you to disobey Scripture, and this law requires you to disobey the Scripture about loving neighbor. Saving lives is okay.
    Those laws were never enacted far as I know. What law was that person prosecuted under?

      He's one of at least five No More Deaths volunteers to be prosecuted by federal law enforcement officials since the Trump administration began arresting the southern border humanitarian activists in 2017.

      The two migrant men Warren was arrested with showed up at No More Deaths' base of operations in Ajo, known as 'the Barn,' as Warren was arriving back from a grocery store, according to Tuscon.com.
      The men said they'd only consumed sports drinks and a burrito during their grueling two-day trek across the desert region. Warren cooked them a meal, gave them clothes and let them reside at the Barn for three days before US Border Patrol agents arrived and arrested all three of them.

      He's being charged under different laws.

      US Attorney Nathaniel Walters said Warren's case 'is not about humanitarian aid,' but rather about whether or not Warren 'intended to violate the law,' by shielding Perez-Villanueva and Sacaria-Goday from border patrol agents.
      'No More Deaths is not on trial. Scott Warren is,' Walters said.

        Ah ok. I believe the proposed law or laws back then said that even providing food and water would be considered treason. What they were aiming at, if memory serves, were people leaving water out where the illegals were. To me that's a far cry from aiding and comforting enemies.

            Do we know that? I know Scripture says they "neither marry nor are given in marriage." I don't recall anything about whether they have sex.

                  It also baffles me when people today think it a wise idea to closely model a physical nation on OT Israel. There is no longer any physical nation that comprises "the people of God," and we should not lament that fact. As someone with Pentecostal-Charismatic, Arminian, and Egalitarian beliefs, I can just imagine what life would be like under a John MacArthur monarchy!

                            I think we all crave the rule of a righteous King, it is a vestige of the image of God in us.

                              It seems fairly evident to me that Scripture tends to reserve licit sex for marriage.

                                Except isn't a human king usurping God? After all in God's Kingdom, HE is King, not some human being. So I would argue that setting up a human kingdom is in opposition to God. Which is why God didn't want the Israelites to have a kind. HE was their king.
