Yes, he is and always has been.
I’m pretty sure God could have handled the situation to fulfill his purpose.
Like hell Joseph and Mary were “running for their lives”...they had to register for the census.
Seems those in DC are more devoted to the Koran or the NYT.
Talking about Slaughter of the Innocent, party in which abortion is supported!

Always great to hear a Democrat go all about “Jesus” just before Christmas.
All the while, killing a million defenseless unborn babies each year and proudly proclaiming homosexual marriage and marching in their gay pride parades.
