Also not correct as Egypt was also part of the Roman Empire at the time.
I'm sure this is a poor analogy but let's say King Herod was the Governor of New Mexico and upon hearing that Herod was going to kill all the little boys, Joseph and Mary leave New Mexico and go to Texas. Texas and New Mexico are both part of the U.S.A. the same way Israel and Egypt were both part of the Roman Empire.
Oh, and why to the pols always confuse two quite separate events. Joseph and Mary came to Bethlehem to comply with the census, mandated by the Roman government. Joseph and Mary did not take Jesus to Egypt until after the visitation of the Three Wise Men, who warned the Holy Family of Herod's intent.
Mayor Pete Puffer: Jesus was a homosexual, Marxist, socialist, abortion supporting, Palestinian freedom fighter!
Don’t forget Kwanzaa. He could probably handle that one.
So I guess that makes Pontius Pilate one of the original Deep State figures!
lol
I don’t pretend to know what goes on in men’s hearts...unless it’s very obvious like the clintons or obamas :)
I honestly don’t think he’s a bad man.
I think he’s doing something bad and doesn’t fully realize the implications that his actions will have when he passes.
but I’ll leave the eternal judging to God, he’s better at it than me :)
but YES, he REALLY got the rest of Jesus’ story wrong.
what’s truly HORRIFYING is the he is the voice of the “center” for dems :)
I got my own problems on judgement day but at the very least I won’t have to explain marrying a man!!
The Bible is silent on Mary and Joseph’s personal finances. The Wise Men came and gave Jesus gold and valuable presents. So I dont know how this moron can say that Jesus was born poor.

..... and, you won't have to explain having packed fudge.
We are not to pass judgment on another man’s soul
a) that job is reserved for the Son
b) God is merciful and we humans have no way of knowing whether a person’s salvation might be achieved before they die.
We absolutely should make judgments about proper behavior, not to judge others, but as an attempt to live a blameless life of our own, even though ALL of us fall short. What is scary to me is that so few Christians have a good understanding of their faith and what constitutes a righteous life.
Jesus was not a “refugee.’ Mary and Joseph travelled to Bethlehem not to immigrate but because the government ordered them to. Nor was He born in poverty . Joseph was a successful carpenter.
I am not equipped to understand that mentality. I am marrying a fine, upright lady next month after being single almost 19 years.
“This guy’s theory revolves around his interpretation of the word “inn”.”
Not solely. Bethlehem almost certainly did not HAVE an inn. And folks back then didn’t stay in inns unless there was no alternative.
” The New Testament was originally written in Greek, and the Greek word translated inn here is kataluma. It means a place of rest, usually a guest room. In fact, the same writer Luke uses this very word later where it clearly refers to a guest room and not an inn. Notice Luke 22:11, where Jesus said to His disciples, Then you shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest room [ kataluma ] where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”.
Furthermore, Luke elsewhere in his Gospel uses a different Greek word when he writes about an actual inn not the word kataluma. In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus mentions that the injured man in the story was taken to an innand here Luke translates using the Greek word pandokheion, the normal word for an inn. We read this in Luke 10:34, where the kind Samaritan set the injured man on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
Interestingly, the Arabic and Syriac versions of the New Testament, which reflect more of a Middle Eastern context, have never translated kataluma as meaning an inn, but instead as a guest room.”

The Satan is strong in this one.
Joseph was complying with a government order to be enrolled for tax purposes. If he was poor (as the leftists claim) then obviously this advocates taxing poor people.
And they did not remain in Egypt in perpetuity to live on the government teat. They returned to Nazareth after Herods death.
Also true and never mentioned...doesn’t fit the “narrative”. Thanks for pointing that out, and may God’s blessings be upon you and yours during this Christmas Season and throughout the new year.

Fudgepackin Pete bends the State laws, religious laws and cultural laws to fit his deviation and to make his wife happy.
Jesus Christ created and owns every particle of matter in the universe and is Lord of the seen and unseen realms. Poor he is not.
