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

Well, people have all sorts of ideas about Jesus and make up all sorts of songs to fit their views -- but the one view of Jesus that a lot of people don't like talking about is when He comes back "looking for bear!"... :-)

At Christmas -- a lot of people think about a cute little baby Jesus or a very nice man who said nice things to people, was uplifting, and healed a bunch of people...

What people really need to remember is that there's this "big bad Jewish fellow" out there, who's showing up soon, sorta unexpected, and he's "looking for bear" and is gonna open up "the biggest can of whoop-ass" you've ever seen in your life, on a bunch of people here on earth. LOL...

However, many fail to understand -- but they will "understand" when the Messiah of Israel returns to this earth, sets His feet on the soil of this globe, and sets up the ruling authority -- the one-world government -- that He puts into place over all nations, including the United States.

He's the Messiah of Israel, that He is coming back to earth, to set up a one-world government, with His headquarters in Jerusalem, ruling over all the nations of the world, including the United States and will rule over all who are still alive (from who are living right now today) -- and that He will definitely scrap the Constitution of the United States and make Himself the supreme ruler over all that we do.

The "day of reckoning" is coming for all of those who are trying to take over the world and put it totally under their control in an evil one-world empire. And they do admit that they want a one-world government -- their government, not God's...

When the Messiah of Israel comes back to this earth to set up His one-world government and subject all the nations of the world to His authority and rule -- He'll be making real short work of any of those yahoos...

And you can be sure that He will be utterly destroying anything to do with any of these yahoos, since whatever they say and do is a total perversion of anything to do with the Messiah of Israel.

And for sure -- we all, in this world, need the Messiah of Israel back, here on earth -- to destroy this coming one-world government and to install His own one-world government in its place.

I'm looking forward to the coming Kingdom on earth and the one-world government that the Messiah of Israel will be setting up, after He destroys, by His own hand, the present and evil one-world government that we see forming right now.

    Isaiah 9:6-7

    For unto us a Child is born.
    Unto us a Son is given;
    And the government will be upon His shoulder.
    And His name will be called
    Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

    Of the increase of His government and peace
    There will be no end,
    Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
    To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
    From that time forward, even forever.
    The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

...and his parents did what they could to acquire reasonable shelter, made do with what they had, and worked hard (carpenter) to overcome the issue and return to their home.

His family didn’t flaunt the gifts (not handouts) received, and taught him a trade.

They didn’t whine that their housing was Rome’s problem.

Did the government at the time have to make everyone travel to their city of birth in order to be taxed? Wouldn't it have been easier for Joseph just to write 'Bethlehem' under 'place of birth' on a census form?

(Don't misunderstand me, I believe the Bible story. I just think this whole story illustrates pointless, arbitrary government rules.)

Also the sermon was dedicated to the evils of war ...

How long would the lineage of David have lasted if the early Jews had been pacifists?

Write a letter to your bishop informing him that this “priest” is teaching heresey (specifically lieration theology) as part of service. Songs are part of service. Include details.

My priest is from Malta. He just shook his head when I mentioned to him about the Christmas decorations on the WH tree.

Some pics from Midnight Mass.

Totally untrue! Jesus was the Son of Mary, who was married to Joseph who was an independent small businessman, a tradesman who paid TAXES!

God the Son, one of the Trinity, was never homeless. The universe is His.

"Jesus was born a homeless child".

All I know is that He wasn't at home when He was born!

Heck, even the U.S. Census keeps the story straight! Didn’t the priest include these census handouts in the church bulletin? /extreme sarcasm, due to govt abuse of a religious narrative.
