Jim, I don’t care what some PhD has to say unless it’s true. Jesus was born just fine without thousands of dollars going into some socialist health care pit. Nowhere does it say that Joseph and Mary were starving to death. He was a carpenter. He worked a job. He supported his wife and kids. There were lots of babies who died in that area but it wasn’t a problem of poverty or health care. It was a “Herod is a baby killer” problem. It’s pretty clear from a simple reading of the text.

Little babies, God will give you full justice. He will avenge your innocent blood. He will make it all right again. He will bring all murderers before His holy throne and will judge them in righteousness. If they do not repent He will cast the guilty into eternal fire.
