Untrue statements? *smile* So you think Jesus was whining when He stated He had nowhere to lay His head? Why do you think He would say that to the disciples who knew He was a trained carpenter? A skilled carpenter back then wasn't considered a bum.... but you know that, right?

Joseph was a "carpenter". So explain to me why he didn't have a treasurer, and wasn't "well off". Explain to me why he made for Mary's purification sacrifice with a bird?

The fact is, a carpenter was a common laborer. And actually, the tekton may not mean "carpenter". Most tekton's were stone masons, and were not wealthy at all. But you knew that, right?
