Where does it say that Jesus, Mary and Joseph were refugees? - "At that time a proclamation was made by Caesar Augustus that all the inhabited world should be registered. This was the first census, undertaken while Cyrenius was governor of Syria and EVERYBODY WENT TO THE TOWN OF THEIR BIRTH TO BE REGISTERED. Joseph went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to David’s town, Bethlehem, in Judea, because he was a direct descendant of David, to be registered with his future wife, Mary, now in the later stages of her pregnancy. So it happened that it was while they were there in Bethlehem that she came to the end of her time. She gave birth to her first child, a son. And as there was no place for them inside the inn, she wrapped him up and laid him in a manger". - Luke 2:1-7
They’ve (the left) been claiming Jesus was gay for years to push their agenda.
It was a forced migration to pay taxes.
Yes, and to the Egyptians’ credit, there is no record of them being “rejected”, though of course the Holy Family was eager to get back home as soon as it was safe.
True.
However, I hope that aren’t suggesting that Joseph and Mary had planned to strap bombs to themselves, walk to the local market, and blow up innocent women and children.
This is an important and obvious distinction. Apparently we have to spell it out for them.
They were also pretty rich from the Magi gifts, which supported them during the exile.
Radicalized right here in a good ole American mosque.
This halfwitted crap is for the blurb mentality on FB, where everyone can reinforce their squishy feelings that replace thought.
Joseph was an artisan and the father of a large family. They were a stable, well off family. Jesus did not come from poverty.
The Roman version of the IRS at work.
Sorry, you’re wrong. They were not Christian they were Jews. Christianity did not exist until Jesus started teaching some 30 years later.
The left are idiots
They need to read Matthew 15:21-28
Where Jesus refused to help a woman from another country because he was there for the people of Israel.
Semantics. Herod was acting against the coming of Christ. Peace.
They simply didn’t have hotel reservations in Bethlehem.
Ypu mean they were escaping Democrat muslimoid Herodes’ infanticide agenda?!
That’s a longstanding liberal meme.
Did Mary and Joseph cross any border to get from Nazareth to Bethlehem?
“But hotels.com said everything was in place! What do you mean you don’t have a record of my reservation? The charges have already shown up on my Judean Express card!”
Are they talking about Global Warming or Refugees ,they say the same thing no matter what they push
