Poor and homeless? Dude was a carpenter. He wasn’t rich but my understanding is that he made sure his family were looked after before changing careers. He wandered, but he could have gone home at any time.
Not just a carpenter. He made fine cabinets etc.
Woodworking Jesus warned us against the evils of epoxy river tables and lichtenberg figure burning.
I bet he could build the finest of crucifixes
The way I heard it the better translation is day laborer.
I am curious, if the story happened the way it is documented why didn't your Jesus tell his mom that he was alright? He could clearly appear to people after dying. Not a single word about him visiting his poor old mom and telling her not to be upset about her son being tortured and murdered? If I had some power to offer any comfort to my family after death I would definitely do it.
