Apparently the new priest at my Mom's church is a liberal woo-woo christian. She's not happy about it, but it is the closet parish to her house and it is the one she belongs to. I can't believe that something this wrong can be sung in church, considering that it was the government at the time that forced Joseph and Mary on the road. Also the sermon was dedicated to the evils of war with not one word of the sanctity of unborn life. Sorry for the rant, just glad my parish has a traditional priest not a Liberal theologian

He was homeless. Once again, because of the government. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

MArk Levin calls them sectarian religious socialists who want a Utopian heaven on earth. Its something that parishoners can raise as a point of theology. AND THEY SHOULD!

My lib parish here in Hollywood ALWAYS say the prayer “Lord, please end the war in Iraq so peace will be attained in that region”. PLUS one time they attempted to have a lesbian priest complete in rainbow garb perform mass during the weekday mass and MOST of the parishioners walked out.

As we know, Jesus wasn’t homeless; he had a home. It’s just that the family was forced to take a road trip for the census. The song was factually incorrect.

Jesus was not homeless.

His parents were on the road, traveling.

When will these PC do-gooders give it a rest? Our Lord was *not* a homeless child.

Communist revision of history by Marxist thugs who utterly despise the Jewish and Christian religions.

Jesus was not homeless. His dad had a home in Nazarath. hey were in Bethlehem because of the taxation census ordered by the tyrannical Obama of the day.

Jesus was born in humble circumstances, because the hotels were full.

Jesus wasn’t homeless. Mary and Joseph were traveling not refugees or immigrants.

Gee, I was taught by the Sisters of Mercy and the Jesuits.

IIRC, Joseph and Mary had to travel to register for a Census.

They were NOT homeless.

If it happened today, Jesus may have been born in a taxi.

Joseph and Mary had a perfectly good home in Nazareth. However Caesar Augustus, ruler of the Roman Empire, decreed that all the world should be taxed, to celebrate the 750th anniversary of the founding of the city of Rome. So the Holy family had to make the 250 mile journey, on foot, from Nazareth to Bethlehem. Once there, they were refused a room at the inn as every other member of the House of David was there as well, to fill out forms for the Roman government.
If that weren’t enough, King Herod became leery of the news of a new King being born in Bethlehem, and dealt with it in his usual manner. Mary and Joseph had to flee to Egypt, another hike of about 250 miles. They only returned once they had heard that Herod had died
If anything the last thing the Holy family would have wanted was more attention from the government

The new Roman Dictatorship existed after the usurper Julius Caesar took power from the Roman Senate, just like Obama, Augustus Caesar later on had to get his taxes. The Dictator had to tax to help the homeless, right? The Roman run economy probably drove the Inns out of business? Nothing new under the Sun.

There is no room for the Christ Spirit in man's world. Mankind tries to be as god and has no true home for God to rest His head on earth.

...with NO health insurance.

Guess what? THEY DIDN’T expect the government to take care of that problem!

Joseph and Mary weren’t any more homeless, than any of us who have to make a trip and stay in a hotel overnight. No, Joseph and Mary made the trip to PAY THEIR TAXES.

As with many anti-Jesus sayings
“it was winter so he was walking on an iceberg”
“it was summer so the heat (in the middle of a storm) made sand look like water”
“Jesus became a father”
“there was wine concentrate in the new jars that water was poured into at the wedding”
“Jesus did not feed 5k people, they had their own food”
I would not care if these stories were true, but the Bible clearly states that they are NOT true. What is frustrating for those of us who are Bible reading Christians is to see people, often non-Christians, refer to these fallacies with no evidence other than they are scientifically impossible.

Duh, that’s why they are called miracles!
As for homeless Jesus, well, it’s really just a tool for the religious left to steal the “Christian vote”, whatever that is.

Technically Jesus was homeless until he died on the cross, at which time he became a first time homeowner. Unfortunately he still has to deal with squatters, (which will happen in the near future.) Merry Christmas.

Jesus was not homeless when born.
Joseph and Mary went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, where Joseph was from, to register for the census and there was no room for them in the city except for the stall where Jesus was born.

He had a home, a mother and a father and was perfectly cared for.
See verse 4 & 5 as to the explanation.

This idea being put forth by liberals that he was homeless is not true.

Luke 2:1-7

1. Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth.

2. This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria.

3.And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city.

4. Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David,

5.in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child.

6. While they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth.

7. And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
