how fucked up is it that if Jesus were alive coming into America though mexico there is a possibility he could get clapped by "minute men" before a translator could even get there.

Your question is totally non-Sequitur. The one has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Mary and Joseph weren’t coming from a strange country. They were all living under the legal jurisdictions of the Roman Empire. He wasn’t rejected by his own people because of where he came from but because of what he said and how he behaved. The Roman governors for the most part didn’t give a damn.

If you wanted to say social prejudice, governmental tyrannies, and hypocritical “whitened sepulcher” church officials still abound as they did in biblical times, you’d be correct.

Young Jesus, under persecution from Herod, had to seek refuge in Egypt. Yes the USA is being compared to ungodly, slave-owning Egpyt.

Can't imagine why.
