A pastor appearing on CNN Monday morning gave a novel excuse for why people should stop saying the words illegal immigrant: because Jesus was an illegal immigrant.
Well, not only was Jesus a rebel, but Jesus was an undocumented immigrant himself when he fled to Egypt seeking persecution [sic] in his day, said Rev. Ryan Ellers in a debate with CNN conservative contributor S.E. Cupp. So the question becomes [would] we call Jesus himself illegal if he were, you know, in our modern times?

And this is why so many people will not listen to Rev. and pastors. 99.9% are as stupid as a rock with little common sense. But they have a building fund for that new church.

When He was born, Mary and Joseph were in Bethlehem responding to a requirement from Augustus Caesar that all males should return to their hometown for a census. The purpose of the census was to allow taxation of the individuals, so the Romans had to know how many inhabitants there were in the region. Mary and Joseph were out of their homes when Jesus was born. Thus the recent meme that Jesus was born homeless.
When this meme is used it should be pointed out rather loudly that Jesus was born homeless because the burden of government taxation had forced Joseph and Mary out of their house and home!

Even if Jesus and parents did not go through legal channels, Jesus was a true refugee and thus the flight to Egypt was a moral act.

Seems to me Jesus was just returning to his home country having left Israel to avoid political persecution (better known as infant killing). Besides, not aware there was passports, formal border checkpoints, etc during that period of time. For those who have no interest in Jesus, they are always eager to demonstrate how he is in their camp when it fits their agenda. Why would you involve him if you don’t even believe he existed?

Another liberal idiot going back thousands of years to try and justify their wrong idiotic position.

The “Pastor” either hasn’t a clue or is purposely misinterpreting the Bible - could be bad for his soul to mislead folks while proclaiming himself “teacher” of Biblical Truth....

Libtards frequently embrace Jesus, dishonestly claiming Him as one of their own, yet unceasingly attack one religion, Christianity, and all of its symbols as in attempting to eradicate the cross forever from public view.
Liberalism IS a mental disorder.

Illegal immigrant wouldn’t apply.
Properly, we would view Joseph, Mary, and Jesus as political refugees fleeing for their lives. The murder of the infants in Bethlehem as irrefutable evidence.
