They were not refugees or asylum seekers then; it was within their own country. Their flight to Egypt with their baby was indeed as refugees & asylum seekers.<br /><br />However, all those who have an ulterior motive or no ulterior motive for using their situation as an example conveniently or accidentally overlook the small fact of a prophecy many years before: "I ..//.. called my son out of Egypt". [Hosea Chapter 1 verse 11] This prophecy has resonances for God's people because both Joseph & Moses are seen by theologians as 'types of Christ' or, if you like, 'picture prophecies in action' pointing to how God would send someone who would save people, in this final instance from their sins, not just from famine or oppression.<br /><br />God used Herod's hostility & the need to escape as a means of underlining the status of His Son as Messiah.<br /><br />Those with ulterior motives also conveniently overlook that national borders were no obstacle to freedom of movement approximately 2020 years ago (+/- 2 years) and that Visas, Passports (as we know them) & Residency or Work Permits were relatively unknown for ordinary people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-57012777451023775532015-08-15T17:52:23.512+01:002015-08-15T17:52:23.512+01:00This isn't the first time a Beeboid with twist...This isn't the first time a Beeboid with twisted morals used Mary and Joseph as an analogy to push their agenda. Remember Aleem Maqbool and his biased retracing of their steps from Nazareth to Bethlehem? <br /><br />http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7784227.stm<br /><br />Of course, if Mary and Joseph <i>were</i> trying to get into Britain today, it would only be to flee anti-Semitism in France or whatever Muslim country. Bet that won't get mentioned.<br /><br />There's a great comment on Ahmed's blogpost from "ThePhysicalWorld":<br /><br /><i>I'm sorry, but I really do not approve of Songs of Praise going to Calais. Firstly, as the BBC is the national TV channel, it gives them the impression that the UK welcomes illegal immigrants. Secondly, it legitimizes criminal activity ie. people illegally breaking into the UK, including those that threaten and use violence to do it.</i><br /><br />Ahmed is openly admitting to the first point. Whether or not one agrees with the message, it is a message. He is using the BBC and his interpretation of Christian thought to push an agenda, full stop, no question about it.David Preisernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-55784874725950652262015-08-15T12:10:48.986+01:002015-08-15T12:10:48.986+01:00CensusCensusGrantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-50186304371292979032015-08-15T12:07:13.824+01:002015-08-15T12:07:13.824+01:00Mary and Joseph were not migrating but returning f...Mary and Joseph were not migrating but returning for a censuses in accordance with the law. Anyone who sees a similarity with the Calais migrants is a big liar. But, then lying is what the BBC do on a daily basis.

Their decisions will always be made within the framework of enabling Sharia long term - whether or not they are consciously intending to do so. <br /><br />Ahmed's defence is sententious nonsense - patronising and fundamentally <br />dishonest. <br /><br />It is particularly dishonest in not acknowledging that to put up a Christian Church is a criminal offence in most Islamic countries. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-86583909898270389922015-08-15T11:52:39.222+01:002015-08-15T11:52:39.222+01:00I tend to agree.

Whether it's treating women's cricket on a par with men's, soap opera storylines, drama output or whatever - there is often a proselytising political message somewhere.
