Leftists who don't understand Christianity at all are doing their best to insist Christians must vote for Preacher James Talarico. They insist he is the most Christian politician maybe ever and he went to seminary. Also, he has a girlfriend, but she hides.
She "hides" because she ain't real.
Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) ~ Let me explain something to Democrats commenting on Talarico being a “seminarian,” apparently believing that automatically makes him the Christian choice.
And you probably won’t get it, but that’s okay. I’m going to explain it anyway.
In the Book of James, people who assume the mantle of teacher but spread heresies are said to have “stricter” judgment than your average sinner. False teachers are repeatedly warned against throughout the scriptures, described as the worst types of wolves.
In other words, while you can point to Paxton’s past transgressions, and that’s fair to talk about, you need to understand that what Talarico does and has done is no less sinful.
And for the average devout Christian who isn’t part of a progressive heretical body, they see that and know that.
You may not get it. You may think all this Christian stuff is just about saying a few words. But it’s not. Heresy is a grave sin, and something Christians are expressly told to flee from.
So Christians are going to take that issue seriously in this race, even if it seems silly, unimportant, or unfair to you because you think, “Well, Talarico is nice so that makes him righteous.”
Not how it works.
Jennifer Oliver O'Connell (@asthegirlturns) ~ Well said, but Leftists see "Christianity" as just another label people wear, so they don't get it or want to get it.
Exactly ... so, such ignorant Leftists have no standing to judge and demand that Christians vote for Talarico simply because they are trying (and failing) to slap a "Christian" label on him.
Also, they hate Christians so they are happy to misrepresent the belief system.
Mom of Krills (@MomKrill) ~ Talarico is what you get when a bunch of atheists pick a "Christian" candidate purely because they think that's all they need to do to win the Christians over.
TJ - Aficionado of Fine Bourbon (@1ShieldDefense) ~ "Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly." ~ James 3:1
Talarico is a false teacher. He purposely mistranslates scripture or takes the word out of context. He is a wolf.
Dug (@busted_flat) ~ 2 Peter 2:1-2 (NKJV):
(1) But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.
(2) And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.
Tim Burns (@timcctyler) ~ Well said. Polite and righteous. Paxton has sinned in many ways, as his adultery is a matter of public record. All Texans will be casting votes for sinners. Which sinner will cast his own vote rightly on Biblical issues? Paxton? No question. Vote Bible; not personality.
