In Bethlehem, his family ended up homeless,"

Not being able to find a hotel room is now homeless?

Maybe JJ should read Matthew 2.

After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.

You are right about the HOUSE. In Luke he used the Greek word for INN. Mary and Joseph more than likely had family there and for privacy, they let them use the barn for birth. The jewish people took care of each other. I hear one historian say that there were not any motels or hotels back then.

Jesse Jackson is dangerous and anyone with a mind larger than a pea should be able to see right thru him.
