>>But wait just a minute here. I thought you said that illegal is illegal. It shouldn't matter how much He may have benefitted those around him, if He was illegal, He should have been put on a plane and flown home. Though, I suppose I have to agree that I don't recall His being an actual immigrant - legal or illegal. I guess He was really just passing through mostly. Kind of like a tourist or a conference attendee. Being a carpenter, on the other hand, He may well have taken a high paying job away from an honest citizen.

Well, technically, He didn't steal it. He took it, but the owner did wind up giving it to him. The bible doesn't say there was any coercion, but it doesn't say there wasn't either.
