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
When it comes to what their false prophet termed “the opium of the people”, they have no problem lying about it.
They were indeed refugees when they fled to Egypt to avoid Herod’s slaughter.
They don’t care. In the world of FBook memes, accuracy is the last thing that matters.
JESUS WAS HOMELESS BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT TAXED HIS FATHER OUT OF HIS HOME!
I love how the commies have ‘just found religion’. How cute.
Correct. They were the first persecuted Christians fleeing for their lives.
There’s no lie too ridiculous for these people to tell as they try to sell their fantasy ideology.
Hmm...so that’s why they want to evict the Nativity scenes from public spaces?
Yes, but the memes that are going around depict the Nativity scene not the flight to Egypt.
When any of these people can prove that an angel from the Christian God told them to come here, I will be more sympathetic.
Yes. This is a meme, a false meme, they use and are using big time.
It is not the only one.
I came across a web magazine yesterday that is full of similar ostensibly Biblical based reasons to bring in all the “refugees”.
See this in Relevant Magazine.

This site seems to be associated with Eric Metaxas.
They're just recycling what they thought was clever from 2008
What next, Mary was a homosexual?

When liberal’s start quoting the Bible you know that they aren’t serious. They don’t believe in it and they are just mocking us that do.
Wait a minute, I thought we had ‘separation of church and state’? Oh I guess that’s only when it benefits leftists, natch!
The Holy Family was not carrying and ideology commanding that they kill all who were not like them.
