Joseph and Mary were not illegal aliens. They were obeying the law to travel to Bethlehem. Once done they went home. The good pastor should read the bible.
"And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered." (Luke 2:1-6)

That’s one way to keep anti-Christian ‘satanists’ from vandalizing the display.

Claremont UMC. Karen Clark Ristine, senior pastor.
Nuff said. Apostacy on steroids.

It’s not a nativity scene when the church claims the infant is two years old. A Nativity scene is when just having been born, the baby Jesus lays in a manger surrounded by Mother Mary and Father Joseph.

Very nice way to honor your religion. Involve some of its major characters in a political statement. Very cool.

If we were Muslims subjected to this sort of blasphemy, someone’s head would be on a pike as a warning to the others.

It’s disgusting to me and yet, my lib friends think this is a powerful statement about what is happening on the border but they sure as heck don’t credit Obama since it was his policy.

Matthew 7:21-23 English Standard Version (ESV) [emphasis added] I Never Knew You 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

At least they haven’t sold off the baby as body parts.
Maybe next year.

The family returned to their own country from Egypt.

Maybe Mary with baby Jesus in a welfare apartment scene, with TV, cell phone, Doritos, sodas, SNAP cards, drug dealers outside, no Joseph...

Oh Geeeez, What next, electrified barbed wire fences, watch towers and German Sheppard dogs? Take it to the extreme while you’re at it. Caged?? Its not like we are keeping them in, we want to keep them out. If all these bleeding heart liberal good doers want to help, let them go to the countries that the illegals came from, and start there to help them change for the better.
