For those who don't know, 'being crucified with Christ' and 'dying to self' are common phrases in Christianity. It stems from Paul, who writes to the Galatians (2:20), "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me."

It's the basic tenant of our faith, which says we turn away from our former sinful self (ie. it has died), we're reborn (saved by Christ's death), and we now live for Christ. It's the Gospel message...it's Christianity.

It would be difficult to find a pastor alive, who isn't familiar with these phrases. If you could find one, I'd suggest he's not a Christian pastor, because he wouldn't know/understand the faith he supposedly teaches, or he's purposefully being deceitful.

...which brings us to Talarico.

Talarico apparently doesnt know/understand Christianity 101, or more likely...decided to twist the meaning of basic scripture to bash Christians, yet again.

Quote:
James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Texas, responded on Wednesday to a pastor who had suggested he should be "crucified with Christ" as part of a conversion, saying in a statement, "I love you more than you could ever hate me."
...
"Jesus loves," Mr. Talarico, a progressive state lawmaker who has put his faith at the center of his political campaign, said in the statement. "Christian Nationalism kills. You may pray for my death, Pastor, but I still love you."

Quote:
Many evangelicals talk about needing to be "crucified with Christ" as meaning turning from one's past behavior after conversion, as if it has been killed. But other, more common ways of describing someone's need for conversion are phrases like needing "to be saved" or "come to Christ."

Quote:
Mr. Potteiger argued on Wednesday that Mr. Talarico had misrepresented his comments.
"I did not call for his death," Mr. Potteiger said in an interview with The New York Times. "I called for his conversion."


This guy hates Christianity...while at the same time is convincing a ton of people that he's a Christian pastor.

Even if you're not religious, and don't care about his war on faith...you might want to pay attention to his 100% fake M.O.

Maybe he's not a pastor but just a tal-head.

He's an opportunist. He knows full well what the guy meant, but saw it as a chance to turn himself into a victim and make a political statement ("Muh Christian Nationalism!").

Talarico being a political schmuck is incidental.
No Christian will be fooled, but the fact that he is knowingly leading many who need redemption down the wrong path is unconscionable

can someone point me to the stats for all the thousands (millions?) of people killed in the name of Christian nationalism in the past few years?

I know it's a vary scary and emotional existential threat to socialists. I just can't find the murders or the violence from it in the news. ...but we do live in two completely different worlds so maybe CNN has good reliable stats on the Christian National murderers out there.

"Christian Nationalist" is a dehumanizing term used by Satan to hastily bring on the End Times and Talarico is Damien (Omen II).

But his fan club will still argue that's he's different and genuine. It's exactly what I expect from someone who puts politics over faith, but he markets himself as the opposite. And some genuinely believe him.

That is what soft spoken bullies do, until they get in charge.
He is smart enough to be dangerous and as pointed out here, he is after the lazy and those who are searching but dont want to put in effort to investigate, and think he is the face of Christianity.

Keep in mind a leftist will always presume and use the most politically useful Interpretation of any statement and completely out of context if they can. They will grossly deviate from context, common meaning, and pick the worst possible interpretation to use for anything a conservative might state.

This is exactly it. A Christian pastor would not do this, but a politician would run over their grandmother to do it. It's just confirmation of what he really is and what his "faith" really is - a prop.

If that's the case, he isn't doing it very well. Beto at least had a youthful appeal and knew to keep things as generic and non-committal as possible. This guy is just flat out awkward, which isn't going motivate the Dem base, and has been more honest about his actual views which are far from the middle. He's banking on people hating Trump so much that they'll vote for him even though he contradicts the views of most voters in Texas.

Actually, that's fair. What I should have said is "he knows he has to play the game".

Edit: oh, I did say that. Ignore this.

I don't know. Did you see the "remember the name" thread started by one of our resident leftists on here? All of the leftists on this site were posting with giddiness and excitement on that thread. They are really happy to have a "man of the cloth" with a D by their name because they know how easily fooled people are when they hear what they want to hear. They don't care if he's an evil false prophet freak. They're excited and motivated because he can trick people.

Heck yeah we know. A politician that says what people want to hear, tries to show they're "just another neighborhood guy", playing to the religious right err... left, and getting people on board with his words not his actions.

Worked for this other guy...

not the same as killing the fetuses in your womb is Christian because the Angel Gabriel gave Mary a choice to have Jesus. Any comparisons to this false prophet freak is a horrible comparison.

I'm genuinely concerned that this guy is a future white Obama.

Not sure if this you talking, or you are paraphrasing what Talarico said, but Gabriel didn't give Mary a choice. Mary's quote is an acknowledgment of God's purpose for her.

Just to be clear, a pastor should know this intimately which is evidence that Talarico is a dishonest liar in that particular case as he is in this one too.

There are a lot of distasteful adjectives I could cast upon various lefty archetypes, but the 'scripture twisting pastor' earns 'loathsome' from me.

Yes, but leftists won't defend tularco's words. They'll just say other politicians say what people want to hear too and go right on supporting pure evil.

I'm hoping this is just because we don't have a GOP nominee yet and a lot of people are non-committal. I wish Trump would get off his ass and endorse one of them. The other needs to do the right thing and drop out, but, I know that won't happen.

I agree he is an opportunist. I don't think he knew what the guy meant.

Kind of like the "fake German" on Inglorious Basterds," I believe Talarico does not know or understand Christ, and he does not realize that real recognizes fake.

I guess the plan all along has been to dumb us down and get control. this has been mentioned here for years. I can't believe what politicians get away with saying-- and also how what they say doesn't amount to much more than 6th grade rhetoric . People are so easily led and ignorant and gullible.
