9. Depends on whom you believe, I reckon.
Luke says "betrothed," and places the marriage after the birth. Matthew says they got married first, but didn't consummate it until after the birth.

No one with wedding bands on the creche I have... but no doubt, you have evidence to support your allegation, regardless of your little quibble.
That's when my head exploded.

11. Actually, the scene should be totally empty because thanks to
the no-climate-change world of the righties there won't even be any animals or trees left.

"No one with wedding bands on the creche I have... but no doubt, you have evidence to support your allegation, regardless of your little quibble."
It says in the Bible that they were married before the birth. No wedding bands because THEY WERE POOR, AND COULDN'T AFFORD THEM!

I've never come across any who've denied Jesus was Jewish, other than maybe one or two ultra- lunatic- fringe Stormfront- types of the sort whose opinions matter almost as little as the DUmmies' opinions do.
As a "Right Wing Christian," I have absolutely no problem with Jesus being Jewish.

Is "kpete" capable of posting something other than stoooooooooooopid memes? Fisking the stupid:

A nativity scene without any Jews, Arabs, Africans, refugees or unwed mothers
Well, maybe "kpete" makes it later in her thread, but this post needs the proverbial pencil sharpener.
* Without Jews: "keithbvadu2" claims, "Our right wing 'Christians' don't like the fact that Jesus was a Jew." What can I say? This claim is rated :thatsright: :thatsright: :thatsright: :thatsright: :thatsright: . The dude's obviously never set foot in and Evangelical or Fundamentalist church. Or noticed/remembered how Prog Joooooooo-Haters blast Evangelical and Fundamentalist Christians for their support if Israel.
* Without Arabs: "kpete", sweetie, there were no Arabs present at Jesus birth. Nor when the Magi (aka Wise Men) arrived a year or two later. Matthew's account of the latter event is sparing of details, but he his words, "from the East" and use of the term "Magi" (an ethnic group then in what is now Iraq or Iran known for members who were very learned in astrology/astronomy) place their origin in the Parthian Empire, far from Arabia. Nothing wrong with Arabs as a people group - you'll find some here and there in many Evangelical and Fundamentalist churches (the church my family attended in the 90s and 00s had two who were in leadership positions). But if the reference point to which your "creche" is meant to be contrasted is historical reality, this is a meme-fail.
* Without Africans: "kpete", sweetie, there were no Africans present at Jesus birth. Again, if you actually walk into many Evangelical and Fundamentalist churches you'll find have blacks who are leaders, including in the churches' pastoral staff. But if your "creche" is meant to be contrasted with historical reality, this is a yet another meme-fail.
* Without refugees: "kpete", sweetie, while Mary and Joseph did not live in Bethlehem, they were not refugees. They were there for a government census (for the purpose of taxation). Mary and Joseph were still living in Bethlehem a year or two later - and still not refugees - when the Magi came. In fact, 8 days after Jesus was born, they went to Jerusalem for the religious ceremonies required by Jewish law pertaining to the birth of a son. Further, while it is true that Mary and Joseph fled to Egypt after the Magi left, Judea and Egypt were both part of the Roman Empire, ruled by Augustus. Calling them refugees is a bit of a stretch. Again, if you mean to contrast with historical reality, this is a meme-fail.
* Without unwed mothers: As "malthaussen" 75% said (and clearly 100% meant), Mary was a married woman. Total! Meme-FAIL!

Amazing, LanternWaste has the original creche set that was made from life, to record the event back 1800-odd years before photography was invented! On top of that, we learn that the absence of wedding rings on the figures proves that wedding rings were in universal use by First Century Hebrews at all levels of society!
Oh, the amazing things you learn from DU!
