and in that census they had to report if they were citizens or not.....
Butterbutt the Sodmite has it bassakwards as usual.
WE’RE the refugees. Jesus came (and comes) to rescue US, the refugees.
Islam is Right about Homosexuality
Next thing you know Buttgigger will be saying Jesus was gay.
The flight into Egypt is a story recounted in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 2:13–23) and in New Testament apocrypha. Soon after the visit by the Magi, an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream telling him to flee to Egypt with Mary and the infant Jesus since King Herod would seek the child to kill him.
Not only that, but the owner of the inn was a republican.
“[I]n no sense did Jesus ‘come into this world as a refugee.’ There’s also no reason to think that Joseph was particularly impoverished. So nothing about this tweet is correct,”
Zactly
Impeached president Clinton said Jesus was a homeless person.
iIt seems you can believe in a lot of strange things in his church.
I prefer the King James version of Luke whenever I get into this argument with a lefty.
Luke 21 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
The communists have fallen so far that they actually have a used butt plug in the clown car now....what’s sad, it people are actually smelling and listening to it.
He was not a refugee. His family was in Bethlehem to register with the census so they could be taxed! There is nothing to indicate that they were poor.
Joseph took his family and fled to Egypt. Both Judea and Egypt were provinces of Rome. They sound like displaced persons. From the Wikipedia entry for displaced person:
“someone who is forced to flee his or her home but who remains within his or her country’s borders. They are often referred to as refugees, although they do not fall within the legal definitions of a refugee.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internally_displaced_person
With regard to being a refuge, the international convention regarding refugees essentially requires somebody to be a member of a persecuted minority group; i.e., has a
“well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion.”
Therefore, Hispanics coming here from countries in which they are part of the majority group are not refugees. Their government is supposed to protect them in their homeland.
There’s also no reason to think that Joseph was particularly impoverished.”I’ve refrained from commenting on this story, but since I haven’t seen any post challenging the above-quoted assertion, I think it’s important to point out the evidence that Joseph and Mary were poor.
Luke 2:24 — Joseph and Mary make a sacrificial offering of two turtle doves or young pigeons when they present Jesus in the temple.
Lev 12:8 — Two turtle doves or two young pigeons is the sacrificial offering prescribed for a poor woman on the occasion of her completing her post-partum purification.
>>Today I join millions around the world in celebrating the arrival of divinity on earth
Buttgag got it wrong. We celebrate SALVATION.
The boy also is claiming that we stole America from the Spaniards. Somebody buy the boy a history book. I might suggest “The Empire of the Summer Moon.” From what I understand, the Comanches, Kiowas and Lipan Apaches ran the Spaniards out of America.
Ye shall know them by their fruit.
Or, in this case their fruitiness?
HEY !!! Confused in South Bend !!!
You cant get anymore citizenship than be born in the city of David your direct ancestor...and of citizen parents...
Plus Jesus was born there because the government had sent his parents there for a census...
they were there legitimately...
but you wouldn’t understand or care what that means ...
From a historian I read about, years ago, Joseph was not a lowly carpenter. He was a revered Architect and we may think that Mary riding an ass was a sign of poverty. If ANYONE had an ass back then, it was a sign of affluence to what degree I know not. The manger story could be very real but the innkeeper probably did NOT give them the space free gratis, it was simply every place was full up. Joseph left Bethlehem for a job in Egypt which saved his life at that time. Jesus’ time was unrelated for a long time was due to Joseph of Arithamia (taking Him to England and througout the known world.) Joseph of Arithamea was at that time, the richest man in the world, supposedly. There are supposedly records of this in Vatican.
Proving that Al Gore is not only leading the RATS over the cliff with climate change malarkey because back when he was Vice President, Gore referred to Jesus as a homeless child. Marx, Alinsky, Gore. The Democrat candidates really need better godfathers.
