The Bible's account of the night Jesus was born is noted for some well-known characters at the Bethlehem manger, including the baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph and some shepherds following the instructions of an angel.
Now a Christian church in America's heartland is helping redefine the story, as its most-recent living Nativity scene in December featured two women instead of a man and a women starring as Joseph and Mary.
"And when the Holy Family arrived, it was two women with their baby," she said. "What we emphasized was that this was two parents, and this is our baby and this our story. They're two moms, but it doesn't stand out."
Butler added, "It does fit so well biblically," noting that Jesus had a human mother, but Joseph was not the Savior's actual father.
"If He was born of a virgin, then Joseph is not the father," Butler said. "He's not part of the conception."
This is absolutely unbelievable. I really can't believe how far down the slope this nation of ours has gone and I don't really believe there is much anyone can do to stop it short of our Lord's intervention. We're in the last of the last days.
