It’s Historically And Theologically Ridiculous To Compare The Holy Family To Illegal Immigrants

[T.B. Yoits]

Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem they were legally required to do, even with Mary pregnant, to be counted in the Roman census in Joseph's home town.

ICE is helping all these invaders return to their home countries to be counted correctly in their census there.

[Tell It Right]

Caesar demanded that everyone return to his ancestral home for the census.

Perhaps we should do the same.

“The issue is not the issue. The revolution is not the issue.”

There is nothing to discuss with revolutionaries.

They want to steal your stuff and then kill you.

[sauropod]

Bkmk

[cgbg]

Correction: The revolution is the issue.

[metmom]

Even going to Egypt was not *illegal immigration*.

And they went back home when told to.

When are illegals going to start going back home?

[No name given]

Big time.

The sooner the better.

If they want to preach the bible then preach the whole word:

Romans 13

13 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

Reason #67 why my wife and I, and numerous extended family members, attend a Protestant Bible Church instead of the Catholic Church that we were raised in.

They want to steal your stuff and then kill you.

Bare bones. I like that. I couldn't read the article.

[cgbg]

Discussing “big ideas” with leftists is a monumental waste of time.

They are operating in bad faith—use words as weapons of indoctrination and subversion.

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

--- "There is nothing to discuss with revolutionaries. They want to steal your stuff and then kill you."

Yup.

[tumblindice]

” ... and the truth shall set you free.”
>Joseph & Mary were immigrants and little baby Jesus was natural born, bigots!

Memes, or enthymemes are effective because they provide premises that allow the audience to draw their own conclusion, thereby having ‘ownership’ in the conclusion.
However, the minor and major premises must be true in order for the syllogism to be logically valid.
Unfortunately, the left lies like a bear rug—they can’t help themselves. Comparing the Holy Family to Paco, Maria and nino Heyseuss is inapt.
Thus, the axiom, “The left can’t meme.”

[PGR88]

the Holy Family later fled from Bethlehem to Egypt, which happened up to two years after Christ’s birth. In this case, Mary and Joseph were escaping an evil ruler who threatened their son. But even then, the analogy is still faulty.

Herod wanted to have all young boys Jesus' age killed for his political power. A more accurate 2025 analogy would be radical leftists wanting to trans them into girls, also for their political power

Same-same.

[Terry L Smith]

I concur

[cgbg]

For the leftists marching through the institutions they view the places they occupy (like churches) as bases of operations.

Everything else is just noise.

[iamgalt]

This “church” has a history of leftist activism.
