Ignorance abounds in the Trump administration

Pastor Paula White, chair of President Donald Trump’s evangelical advisory board, defended Trump’s child separation policy earlier this week by claiming that Jesus did not live in Egypt illegally, and that “he would not have been our Messiah” if he’d broken the law.

“If he had broken the law, then he would have been sinful and he would not have been our Messiah,” White added.

Excuse me? He wasn't an illegal immigrant in Egypt because Egypt didn't prohibit immigration.  And, Jesus didn't break any laws?  Remember that famous trial wherein the Roman governor Pilate sentenced him to be flogged and then crucified? 

In fact, Jesus was famously crucified specifically for breaking the law by claiming to be the son of God. Before that, he was persecuted by religious leaders and the Romans for violating laws like resting on the Sabbath.

Actually, I believe the charge was that he was claiming to be king of the Jews, an act of sedition against the Roman emperor.  And I'm pretty sure wrecking the temple because of the money-changers set up there was a no-no, too.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
